Mon 5.13 6.45p: Gavin Stone (3-1, 3.55) vs. Jordan Hicks (3-1, 2.30) Tues 5.14 6.45p: Yoshinobu Yamamoto (4-1, 2.79) vs. Keaton Winn (3-5, 5.63) Wed 5.15 6.45p: TBD vs Logan Webb (3-4, 3.38)
After dropping yet another series to the Padres, who really have our number this year (losing five of eight games played), we sulk up to San Francisco to play a team that might be Giants? I mean, San Francisco made a lot of moves this off-season (including the late signing of Blake Snell), but still finds themselves eight games back and four games below .500, fourth place in the NL West.
But with Shohei Ohtani experiencing back pain (he left the Saturday game early, and didn't play Sunday), and no starter named for Wednesday...I don't know. Don't...let's start?

Okay troups! A brand new (ugly) winning lineup. Time to kick some NoCal ass
Damn. Lux moved up in the lineup.
Mookie!!
fuck
You little shit Matos
yoshi has calmed down and Ohtani infield singled in a run
3-2 Gnats
Lux doubles in Muncy
3-3
Tied up at 3 in the sixth!
Pages almost had a sweet double there off the right field wall. Darn it.
Pages flies to center.
3-3, mid-6.
Ramos single scores Chapman (the first of two walks Yoshi gave up). He exits down 4-3, two out B6, Vesia in.
PH Jakson Reetz Ks to end the inning.
Jakson Reetz anagrams to Zen Oats Jerk.
Not quite Oyster Pubes, but still.
Kike replaces James Outman to start the seventh. Honestly, we gotta send Outman down so he can work on his swing. And hopefully he can take CT3 with him.
KIKI!!!!!
Kikè!!
Kiké HR!
4-4
Kiké was so far out ahead of that one, he pulled it just inside the pole. 112mph off the bat.
karen and spank! Sorry I was late. Went for a late run which led to a late dinner, so I'm on late this evening.
Mookie, Shohei both K. Two out.
Leadoff single for Slappy. But now Lux is up there with a 1-2 count and one out.
Sorry, make that two outs!
And, Lux grounds to first to end the top of the eighth.
4-4 tie.
Hudson with a 1-2-3 inning in the eighth.
4-4 through 8 full.
Dodgers in the ninth:
8 Pages
9 K Hernandez
1 Betts
Camilo Doval in for the Giants, and Orel says he owns us.
Doval has a 1-2-3 inning in the ninth.
Going to the bottom of the ninth.
Treinen in for the ninth inning.
Leadoff walk to Flores.
We're gonna lose again.
PR Fitzgerald at first--picked off!
Matos works a long AB and Ramos steals second, but Treinen escapes.
We go to the tenth.
Mookie starts on second.
I know Ohtani is 2-for-4 but he looks like he's hacking up there.
And he Ks. One out.
Freeman walks.
I think this plays into the Giants' hands, setting up the GIDP.
Or, Slappy could double in two runs!
Slappy!!!
The Slap Man!!!! Good 6 Evil 4
Fielding circus there by the Giants. Matos couldn't run down the ball in center, and then they barely hit the cutoff man, who drops the ball anyway.
We're gonna need more than two runs with Feyereisen on for the tenth.
Muncy Ks. Two out.
Max is falling back down to a .235 BA, though a .842 OPS.
Here's Teoscar, 0-for-4 with 3 Ks (ugh)
Teoscar flies to center.
6-4 LA, going to the bottom of the tenth.
Brett Wisely Ks for the first out.
Mike Yastrzemski, who had an impressive diving grab in right earlier this game to rob Mookie of a triple, works a walk.
Dodgers were just in the same situation in the top of the tenth: one out, men on first and second.
Estrada GIDPs!
WIN
double play!!
FUCK YOU FRISCO
And it was Muncy who started the 6-4-3 DP, with a great grab!
And Lux with an excellent quick turn at the pivot. Wow.
See you tomorrow!
GAME 2
Betts SS
Ohtani DH
Freeman 1B
Smith C
T Hernandez LF
Muncy 3B
Pages RF
Lux 2B
Outman CF
Stone RHP
Error on Matos. That's always nice to see
Matos nearly got himself killed misplaying that ball
Shohei!!!
he fucking killed that ball
Teo hits a run scoring double
2-0 LA
Big inning, capped by a Lux RBI triple!
4-0 LA
Mookie with a leadoff triple off the wall!!!
I’m listening to the radio feed, and the giants PR guy announced the attendance like four times in a row. So Tim waits for it, and then asks Rick Monday, “so did you get the attendance here tonight?” And Rick is all “yes, I did.” And they had a laugh.
Hilarious
Outman with a xbh in the ninth whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
We are opening up a can of whupass in this ninth inning. Holy shit.
WIN
Final
10-2
GAME 3
Betts SS
Ohtrani DH
Freeman 1B
Smith C
Muncy 3B
T Hernandez
Lux 2B
Pages RF
Outman CF
Hernandez RHP
basically same lineup last 3 games with just a subtle change. I'm down with stability
Bases juiced for Muncy
Wasted opp
wasted opportunity
saxy and I on the same wavelength
I hate those yellow tinged unis on the Hated Ones, They look like someone peed on them
Two of those 'strikes' weren't strikes
shit
We need to get into the Evil bullpen
Boy we are putting up a turd tonight.
How many strikeouts can Muncy possibly have in one night
@spank: I saw that matched wavelength, earlier!
And then I went for a run so I’m only seeing the comment now
we're in business
Freeman at third, Slappy at first, none out, T8.
Hmm.
Muncy sac fly. Well, at least he didn't K.
3-1, Smith on first, one out.
Not feeling it, I gotta admit
Teoscar Ks. Two out.
Teoscar: 0-for-4 with 2 Ks.
Muncy: 0-for-3 with 2 Ks.
One of those two guys is gonna have to hit, otherwise it starts the bottom-of-the-order abyss waaaaaaay too early.
And, Lux grounds to first.
3-1 SF, mid-8.
Jeez, Teoscar's strike three wasn't anywhere close to the strike zone. My god.
4-1 on a two-out RBI single by Luis Matos.
Considering how we had the bases loaded with one out in the first inning against Logan Webb, stumbling to this sort of loss to the Giants is super-disappointing.
Diamondbacks won 2-1. Rockies beat the Padres 8-0. So even with the impending loss tonight, we'll be 7.5 games ahead of both Arizona and San Diego. That's the largest divisional lead by far...but we know how meaningless divisional leads are once the playoffs begin.
Last licks for the Dodgers:
8 Pages
9 (Automatic) Outman
1 Betts
^hat tip to Dusty for the nickname
Pages Ks.
Pages is now 0-for-4 with 2 Ks, joining Teo and Max.
Ohtani has 2 Ks as well, but he's 1-for-3.
Outman swings at a strike 2 that is a mile outside the strike zone
And then he takes one right down the fucking middle.
GET RID OF OUTMAN
Let's do the math on why we're going to lose tonight:
NO HITS FROM THE BOTTOM FIVE: Muncy, Teo, Lux, Pages, Outman. A combined 0-for-19 with 7 Ks.
need Freddie to be clutch here
that sucked
Betts and Ohtani both reach, but Freddie grounds to second to end the game.
So disappointed at the bottom five.
BOOOOOO
too much to ask apparently
Hey dudes, let's party.
