Game 113 Thread: August 4 vs. Cardinals, 7p

Forecast is for Gray skies tonight in Los Angeles.

Tyler Glasnow (1-1, 3.38) vs. Sonny Gray (10-5. 4.38).

Finally, a game at a reasonable evening timeslot! And this time we face Sonny Gray and a Cardinals team whose .500 record (56-57) following a better-than-expected first half of the season ultimately made them a seller at the trade deadline (dealing Ryan Helsley, Phil Maton, and Steven Matz for prospects). It would be nice if we could take advantage of this and expand our divisional lead over the Padres by more than three games.

Freddie! Yes!

Steve Sax said...

That’s our first hit of the game

spank said...

middle of 6th. Dodgers have 1 hit and Chards has 3. anemic as fuck

Steve Sax said...

Glasnow gets through seven innings with 101 pitches, 3 H and 1 ER. Not bad, and really surprising given how inefficient he was early

spank said...

dammit

Steve Sax said...

Dammit, Banda!

Steve Sax said...

Banda served that one up in a platter.

Teo with a leadoff double. He is lucky that throw from center was so shoddy or he would have been nailed.

Steve Sax said...

And since Conforto is up next, Teo avoids the inevitable double play (Conforto with an infield ground out).

Steve Sax said...

Pages with an infield RBI ground out

Game tied through eight.

spank said...

Steve Sax said...

Now it’s Brock Stewart’s turn to shit the bed. Cards at the corners, none out.

spank said...

Steve Sax said...

Leadoff Ohtani single, then Mookie robbed out of a bloop single by an outstanding Nootbar catch down the right field line. One out.

Steve Sax said...

We're down 3-2 btw, B9

spank said...

gotta.move mookie down the lineup. he's killing me

Steve Sax said...

And Mookie was 0-for-4, ugh

Steve Sax said...

I think Mookie is 0-for-his-last-20.

And Freeman just struck out for the second out.

Steve Sax said...

Max flies out to right. We lose.
