Games 146-148 Thread: Sept 15-17 @ Mariners

Fri 15 7p: Miller vs. Kirby
Sat 16 6.40p: Kershaw vs. Miller
Sun 17 1p: TBD vs. Gilbert

The Mariners are fighting for their playoff lives, 1.5 games out of the divisional lead (in third place, behind the Cheaters and Rangers) and 1.5 games ahead of the Blue Jays for the final AL Wild Card spot.

The Dodgers, with a 13.5-game lead in the division and a magic number of 4, don't have a lot to stake on this series. So, just like the last series against the Padres (which the Dodgers dropped, culminating with a meek performance vs. 2020 WS G6 exiter Blake Snell), I guess we'll just have some fun out there in Seattle.

GAME 3

Dodgers have the B team in today, with 🐄🔑🦇🦇🦇 and Freddie sitting.

And Heyward (batting second) hits a HR in the first!

Steve Sax said...

Peralta, batting cleanup, with a two-out double!

Steve Sax said...

I don't know what is more amazing about that second inning there:

Austin Barnes two-run HR, putting the Dodgers up 4-0

Julio Rodriguez grounding to Ryan Yarbrough with the bases loaded for the third out, with the Mariners rallying.

4-1 LA through 2

And, we're done. 6-1 FINAL
