Game 76 Thread: June 19 vs. Padres, 7p

Will Smith saves us, for the second straight night.

Yoshinobu Yamamoto (6-5, 2.64) vs. Ryan Bergert (1-0, 2.33).

Normally I'd feel pretty good about Yoshi starting in the final game of a four-game series, with the Dodgers poised for a sweep. But given the breaks have fallen our way with two straight bullpen-game victories, not to mention Yamamoto's last seven starts (2-3 with a 4.46 ERA) have been mortal, I'm not so sure.

And some people say I'm too negative.

When Doc got kicked out of the game Tuesday he said he opened a bottle of wine and watched the rest of the game.

How in the world cou;d Hudson have called that last strike a ball??? It was almost center plate and it cost Yoshi an Immaculate Inning.

Suaraz thrown out for intentionally hitting Shohei.

After being hit, Shohei walks over to the Padre dugout during the pitching change and smiles and chats with them. That's Shohei!!
