Game 128 Thread: August 21 @ Rockies, 12n

Kershaw vs. Dollander.

The best we can hope for is a series split with the Rockies. But there's a good chance that we lose our one-game lead in the NL West and enter this weekend's series at Petco Park tied with a very hungry Padres team. I don't like the sound of this, not at all.

if the Dodgers lose today i won't be watching games for a while. i can't be wasting my time with their bullshit.

Scheduled days off for Sho and Teo. This team is so backwards right now they'll probably score 40 runs.

Steve Sax said...

Well Shohei did get plunked. But yeah, Slappy as DH

karen said...

A Freddie ambush!!! 2-0 6 pitches in.

Steve Sax said...

Conforto still sucks at the plate

Steve Sax said...

Dodgers take a 4-1 lead on the bases loaded Slappy HBP

Steve Sax said...

Conforto Ks to end the inning.

STOP CONFORTO

karen said...

Such a graceful play from Rojas.

Steve Sax said...

7-1 LA, top 4. Chase Dollander chased, but Nick Anderson gets Rushing for the final out.

Steve Sax said...

8-3 LA through 7. Could have been more, but Andy Pages pulled a Puig and got caught stealing 3B for the last out of the top of the seventh. Sigh.

Steve Sax said...

Miguel Rojas with a one-out walk in the eighth. And Doc subs in Buddy Kennedy for Rojas, with Mookie at the plate. Hmm.

Steve Sax said...

Mookie walks as well, so it's one out and Dodgers on first and second. Rockies go to the pen to face Freeman.

Steve Sax said...

Slappy singles in Kennedy. 9-3 LA, Mookie still on base.

Steve Sax said...

What a surprise, Conforto Ks for the second time in the game. Inning over.

9-3 LA, mid-8

STOP CONFORTO

Steve Sax said...

Sauer gives up a home run, so now it's 9-5 LA, B8

karen said...

A blast by Brenton Doyle. 9-5 B8 Boys.

karen said...

Great plays by Mookie and Freddie at both ends.

Steve Sax said...

Top of the ninth, and Freeland with a leadoff single. Dodgers up 9-5.

Steve Sax said...

Dalton Rushing is 0-for-5 today and batting below Mendoza. Conforto seems to be rubbing off on him.

Steve Sax said...

Padres up 8-4 on the Giants in the sixth. Ugh

Steve Sax said...

Two outs in the bottom of the ninth, with a Colorado player on first and Vesia on the mound.

karen said...

WIN

Steve Sax said...

WIN

Steve Sax said...

beat me to it, karen!

See you tomorrow...
