Games 118-120 Thread: Aug 15-17 vs. Brewers

Tue 15: Bobby Miller vs. Adrian Houser
Wed 16: Clayton Kershaw vs. Wade Miley
Thu 17: Lance Lynn vs.Corbin Burnes
All games 7p

Wait, we have a regular, no "TBD" rotation set for this three-game series? I'm confused.

We enter this series with a nine-game lead over the Giants in the NL West. The Brewers are also leading their division (3.5-game lead on the Cubs and Reds). After fattening up on a soft schedule for the last 13 games (Athletics 3-0; Padres 3-1; Diamondbacks 2-0; Rockies 4-0), it will be interesting to face a more formidable opponent.

Dodgers tie the game at 1 in the bottom of the fifth. I thought we had second and third with none out, in which case we probably should have had more, but that's okay for now.

GAME 2

Dodgers take a 1-0 lead in the first off an Rosario RBI groundout. With two on and two out, Muncy comes up and swings at the first pitch to ground out and end the inning. Sigh.

Steve Sax said...

And it’s immediately tied up in the second on a solo shot.

1-1

That’s why we needed more from you, Max

karen said...

What has gotten into Miggy Ro??? Another HR

Steve Sax said...

Rojas must have started juicing

karen said...

I love it that Kike has the number 14 on his sleeve

karen said...

WIN BABY!

Steve Sax said...

TEN WINS IN A ROW!

Amazing, this team. When Miguel Rojas starts hitting home runs, something is crazy.

With Miggy's bomb yesterday, I only saw his shoes and thought it was Kike. I commented to Mrs. Quad that Miggy must have gained some power once he started wearing shoes like Kike. Then a minute later, Kirsten Watson talked about Kike giving Miggy some shoes, and Miggy raking every time he wears them. I think SNLA is spying on me.

...I had also made a comment about JD having two catcher's interference calls in the same game being really rare. Right after I said that, Joe Davis mentions that it hadn't happened in nearly a century! I'll be broadcasting the game remotely tonight from my kitchen.

Steve Sax said...

@Quad: you are definitely on fire! (Now go play the next round of MPQ!)

Kike rockin' the white shoes tonight

Steve Sax said...

What a surprise, Muncy up with two out and two RISP, and he flies weakly to right to end the first.

0-0 through 2

Steve Sax said...

Whoops, forgot to mention Lance Lynn is pitching

Steve Sax said...

Yelich hits into a 4-6-3 DP to end the top of the third.

0-0

karen said...

I think we are officially in the Dog Days of August

karen said...

We'll take that balk

spank said...

lame offensive game for Dodgers so far

QuadSevens said...

Lynn with 7 shutout innings. I love it! And MPQ round is done!

QuadSevens said...

BARNES!?!?

QuadSevens said...

SWEEP! Barnes bomb is the difference.

spank said...

Steve Sax said...
