Game 34 Thread: May 4 @ Braves, 4p

Dustin May vs. Bryce Elder.

Amazingly, the Dodgers are on the verge of sweeping the Atlanta Braves in this series, beating back both a hungry Braves team forecasted to win the NL East in 2025, not to mention Mother Nature, who threw in a brutal rain delay on Friday (stopping the game after eight full frames before allowing the Dodgers to play the ninth and earn the 2-1 victory), followed by a 3+ hour rain delay on Saturday.

The Dodgers' 10-3 romp yesterday, punctuated by a three-run Freddie Freeman HR to center, was awesome. And that sets up today's game, where Dustin "Code Red" May has a chance to have the Dodgers start their 10-day, 10-game road trip with a 3-0 record. Let's go, Dustin!

Weather in Hotlanta is expected to be partly cloudy and the game should be safe. I'm delighted that Roki got his first win last night. Now let's get Dustin another win and sweep this series! Let's Goooooo!!!!

May sucks

Austin Riley hits two 2 run homers in his first 2 at bats. Code Red not looking real sharp so far.

Steve Sax said...

Pages reaches after a foul-heavy AB!

Steve Sax said...

PR Kim steals second!

Steve Sax said...

I suppose Slappy’s K was as good as a sacrifice?! That pitched looked not close on Gameday

Steve Sax said...

If Barnes doesn’t get HBP, we have no hope

Steve Sax said...

Barnes Ks. We lose with the tying run on third. Brutal.

karen said...

The Bad Guys win. Booooo!!

Steve Sax said...
