Game 75 Thread: June 18 vs. Padres, 7p

Emmet Sheehan vs. Stephen Kolek (3-2, 3.50).

I didn't expect to win yesterday's bullpen game against the Padres, but we did (8-6), thanks to our bats. At the center of this was Will Smith, who slapped his way through a long 12-pitch AB against Jeremiah Estrada, culminating in a two-run HR that put the Dodgers up 5-3 and opening up the floodgates in that five-run frame.

But it's not like we didn't know how to win a bullpen game against the Padres, right?

So tonight, we run back what is basically another bullpen game, starting fresh call-up Emmet Sheehan (4-1, 4.92 ERA over his career). Let's see how this goes!

I hope Mark Walter is able to do for The Lake Show what he's done for The Dodgers.

karen said...

Pages is on fire!!!

spank said...

fucking Pages still hot

karen said...

Sheehan looking really good.

spank said...

gotta start scoring some runs soon

karen said...

After last nights game this one is kind of boring.

Steve Sax said...

Nice outing for Emmet, welcome back!

But yeah, bats gotta bat here.

Steve Sax said...

Good nine-pitch inning for Wrobleski in the top of the fifth. Let's go!

karen said...

Max wore himself out there.

karen said...

TIED UP!!!

Steve Sax said...

After that triple, I thought Muncy was going to have a heart attack running home on Pages' sacrifice fly. But he made it!

1-1

karen said...

SAXY...Glad you're here! We've missed you.

Steve Sax said...

Edman single, HSK double, and Rushing with a two-RBI single!

Good to see Dalton coming through

spank said...

thats what im talking about

Steve Sax said...

Actually, I'm really excited for Dalton. Hope he can get comfortable here.

Steve Sax said...

By the way, the game was tied and I cracked open my first beer. And Muncy tripled, and then we went up 3-1.

Causal relationship, I tell you.

Steve Sax said...

@karen: Sorry for the absence! I'm back tonight. I'll be on all game. I'm going to be drinking heavily, apparently.

How are you guys?

Steve Sax said...

Joe Davis and Eric Karros riffing on Stephen Nelson's Hawaiian shirt collection is pretty funny. As was Nelson's dance moves on camera. Nice!

Steve Sax said...

Wrobleski with a great sixth inning as well.

3-1 LA, mid-6

Steve Sax said...

Opening my second beer. Which I don't really like--I bought a six-pack of Summer IPA from Rueben's Brews--but I gotta finish the set.

Steve Sax said...

Mookie flies out on the first pitch. One out.

karen said...

Watching Muncy reminded me of Karros chugging around the bases. I loved him but his running always made me laugh.

Steve Sax said...

Betts, Freeman, and Teo go down 1-2-3 in the sixth.

Steve Sax said...

@karen: totally! EK going around the bases was like watching slow-motion video

Steve Sax said...

Gotta hand it to Kolek, he's holding up pretty well through six frames. And, he's saved the Padres' pen.

Steve Sax said...

Wrobleski is possessed tonight!

karen said...

Rushing is a stud!

karen said...

Wrobo is dealing!!

spank said...

haha. worbelewski couldnt believe the play mookie made

karen said...

Sax...Honest to gosh I used to think he looked like a train trying to chug up a steep hill.

Steve Sax said...

Pages hit, again.

Now I'm fucking pissed off.

karen said...

Time for Machado to wear one.

karen said...

It's time Shohei!!!

Steve Sax said...

Bases loaded for Shohei, and he Ks to end the inning. Dammit

Steve Sax said...

Look I'm not in favor of throwing at batters, but this SD bullshit is ridiculous.

karen said...

I'm okay if Machado gets hit.

Hard.

spank said...

damnit

Steve Sax said...

Oh man. Boegarts ties it on Wrobleski, who was dealing through four innings. This ninth inning was just too much, maybe. Tie game.

Freeman gets Lockridge at home for the second out. Not sure why that guy was running on contact.

Steve Sax said...

Muncy with another low throw but Edman gets the third out at second base.

3-3 going to B9.

I'm opening a third beer.

karen said...

One of you guys have a drink for me. All I have is a banana shake.

Steve Sax said...

SLAPPY!!!

karen said...

SLAPPY!!!!

WE WIN!!

Steve Sax said...

BANANA SHAKE!!!

spank said...

Slappy!!!

karen said...

And there's one more game...

See you guys tomorrow night!!

spank said...

karen said...
