Tue 8.27: Flaherty vs. Irvin
Wed 8.28: Buehler vs. Burnes
Thu 8.29: TBD Miller vs. Povich
All games 7p first pitch
This should be another playoff-caliber series!
The Baltimore Orioles, a worthy opponent, were leading the AL East until recently, when injuries to their starting rotation put them on a mediocre skid (sound familiar?). They're now 1.5 games back of the division-leading Yankees, but in ownership of the first Wild Card spot by three games. And with the O's hurling staff ace Corbin Burnes (12-6, 3.28) on Saturday, against our Walker Buehler who is valiantly (but, to date, unsuccessfully) trying to figure out if he can return to form (1-4, 6.09 ERA; not good)--we will be hard-pressed to get a series victory here.
But it all starts with Jack Flaherty, Tuesday's starter, who is 3-0 with a 3.22 ERA in four starts since joining his hometown Dodgers at the trade deadline.
Thursday's starter is TBD (and I'm planning on going to this game, with SoSG Orel!), right before we head into the lions' den in Arizona for four games over Labor Day Weekend.

Freddie sits for the opener!
According to Doc Freddie is sitting this one out because of the hairline fracture in his finger and it's possible he may sit out the whole series.
Jay Hey has signed on with the Cheaters. I don't like it.
that was unfortunate
Crap. O'Hearn hits a solo for the Birds.
Dodgers tie it up
Teo!!! Love that guy!
This game is going kind of fast.
Crap.
i thought Flaherty was supposed to be good?
Flaherty got hit on his hand byna comebacker. thats a wrap. take him out please
Seeing Flaherty trying to keep his hand loose in the dugout doesn't bode well.
Flaherty does a good job getting out of the sixth.
nice catch.Teo
@karen...im surprised Roberts didn't take Flaherty out. he got hot hard and he was shaking his hand like if something was wrong in the first inning. they were showing it on the Orioles broadcast
Vesia escapes the jam. 3-2 Baltimore at the stretch.
@Spanky....I'm glad I didn't know about the whole hand thing in the first. I would have been more uptight then I usually am.
ugh Taylor
Chris Taylor sucks. I still can’t believe we let JayHey go and kept CT3.
@Saxy...I know CT3 has had a rotten year but I've always liked him cause he can be so scrappy. I really thought though when decision time came he'd be gone and JayHey would be kept. I really was shocked when he was DFA'd.
Ump robbed us in the bottom of the eighth. We are hosed with this shitty bottom of the order in the ninth.
Bottom of the ninth, down 3-2
@karen: yep. And now that the Cheaters have picked up Heyward…Taylor had better produce.
I am LOVING how Stephen Nelson is mocking the crappy strike zone being called tonight. He is absolutely unabashed
Muncy flies out, so Lux is the last hope
This is where we kinda needed Heyward to PH
Excellent AB by Liz to work an 0-2 count back to a walk.
Unfortunately, Taylor is up next.
^Lux, not Liz
of course Taylor bats in a crucial moment. fuck
Taylor, of course, does nothing.
We lose.
smh
I'm going to echo my bud Spanky here.....BOOOOOO!!!
@karen...i couldnt even muster that im all disappointed.
look out for Flaherty news tomorrow. im sure his hand is not well
What in the world can be done about these BAD, BAD ball and strike calls? They should not be an accepted part of the game.

I loved Decoy Ohtani throwing out the first pitch!
Nice first inning for Walker Buehler!
Ohtani on his bobblehead night!!!
Homerun #42 for Shohei!!
fuck. can't find a stream
Muncy, throw the goddamn ball right
@spank: be glad you didn’t see Muncy’s error
Dammit Slappy that's on you
found a stream just in time to see Buehler give up that double
well shit..could've been worse i guess.
@Spanky....Walker was looking good until his defense let him down.
Muncy and slappy are killing us. 3-1 Os on two brain farts.
Beautiful play by Luxy
mookie comes through
ohtani stolen base
@karen..cool. i was feeling bad for him.
TEO!!!!!!!!
Teo!!
Doc out with a hook. Walker looked like maybe he turned a corner tonight. Banda coming in.
Shohei looks like he is having fun tonight.
that's a wrap
Love this Kopech kid. Blue wins 6-4.
Holy cow, we beat Burnes! Amazing!
I’m going to the game tonight, with SoSG Orel. I am so fired up!
Bobby Miller gets the start tonight for the Dodgers.

@Saxy...Hope I didn't step on any toes here. I thought you might be short on time trying to get to Dodger Stadium. Say hi to SoSG Orel for me.
Both Padres and Snakes lose today. JayHey in lineup today for the Cheaters.
wack ass lineup. it's like they have attention deficit syndrome. always changing it up like a crackhead. no stability
@Spanky....I agree about our lineup. Most of them are at the Mendoza Line or beneath it.
good play by kiki and miller. Miller's hobbled though
@karen..i guess all we can do is hope for the best
Taylor with an rbi single. dayum
Chris Taylor got an RBI and I was here to see it! It’s like being at Shohei’s 40-40 game
haha. good one saxy
SAXY MY FRIEND......CT3 2 for 2 on his 34th birthday.
Austin Barnes just got two rbi. What is happening here
Barnesy?!
🐄🔑🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇
5-0 LA
shit
I didn't think that was going to be a homer by Cowser.
stress time
*faints*
THE BLAKE TRAIN scares the crap out of me but ends up K-ing Gunnar Henderson. Phew!
i would've had a heart attack if taylor had homered on that foul ball
yep. that young catcher being called up when Barnes fractured his toe lit a fire in his ass. his job was threatened.
Barnsey hits a double and steals a base tonight all with a broken piggy.
WE WIN THE SERIES!!!
that's a wrap
