Game 141 Thread: Sept. 5 @ Orioles, 4p

Tyler Glasnow (1-3, 3.41) vs. Krispy Kremer (9-10, 4.52).

The Dodgers' play has been downright disgusting of late, as we just dropped all three games to the last-place Pirates (who are the fourth-worst team in the National League). But wait--that disgust extends to the Padres as well, who just dropped three straight to the last-place Orioles (who are the fourth-worst team in the American League).

So the Dodgers go into Camden Yards where the birds are strangely hot, and the Padres...go to Colorado, which has been ice cold all year long.

At least the Dodgers can count on Michael C0nf0rt0 to stay ice cold!

Glas-not-now scratched due to back stiffness (again). Shohei starting.

The Lead Off guys took a shot of tequila before doing the show to change things up. Hope it helps.

they need to go out after the game and get hammered with some hookers. lay some pipe

Why can’t rushing ever find the goddamn ball

Steve Sax said...

Luckily it doesn’t hurt us thanks to an Ohtani K for the third out.

Steve Sax said...

Mookie can’t make it happen with two on and two out.

0-0, mid-3. We needed Rojas (who has been hot!) to register our first hit of the game.

Steve Sax said...

Kremer chased and breaks up the no-hitter to leadoff the fourth (Rojas’ hit was ruled an error on Jackson Holliday).

Steve Sax said...

Hernandez, like the rest of the Dodgers lineup, is chasing pitches all over the place.

Steve Sax said...

Teo pops weakly to shallow right. One out.

Steve Sax said...

Here’s C0nf0rt0

Steve Sax said...

C0nf0rt0 actually works a walk.

Two on, one out.

Steve Sax said...

Here’s Pages

Steve Sax said...

Pages does nothing, so Doc has KIké PH for Kim (?), and Kiké walks.

Bases loaded for Rushing.

He's gonna strand 'em.

Steve Sax said...

Rushing quickly down 0-2. Here comes the K.

Steve Sax said...

Three-pitch K for Rushing.

Dammit Dalton, if you're not going to be any better than Austin Barnes, then what's the fucking point?

Steve Sax said...

Shohei, who had to pitch when Glasnow got a boo-boo, leaves after 3.2 IP with a runner on third and two out. Banda in to pitch.

Steve Sax said...

Banda walks Beavers, so there's Orioles on the corners and C Samuel Basallo at bat.

Steve Sax said...

Banda is totally missing the strike zone, missing consistently on the far side of the plate.

Steve Sax said...

Banda has thrown six straight balls

Steve Sax said...

Finally gets a strike but it's a 3-1 count to Casallo

Steve Sax said...

3-2 on the foul

Steve Sax said...

Lots of Dodger fans in this crowd!

Basallo grounds weakly to Freeman for the third out.

0-0 through 4

Steve Sax said...

Rojas with a smart AB to leadoff the fifth, earns a walk.

Steve Sax said...

Ohtani GIDPs on the first pitch. My god.

Steve Sax said...

Mookie ropes it but flies to left.

WE SUCK

Steve Sax said...

Rushing AGAIN lets a ball past him, and this time it causes us the lead.

CATCH THE GODDAMN BALL, DALTON!!!

Steve Sax said...

Rojas saves a run with that play, getting Mountcashle at first for the third out.

1-0 BAL through 5.

Steve Sax said...

FREEMAN TIES IT!

Steve Sax said...

My feed came back from the commercials late, so I missed the pitch.

Steve Sax said...

Hopefully that helps this team get off the mat a bit

Steve Sax said...

Hernandez hits one to right field, and Orioles RF Jeremiah Jackson shows Teoscar how a right fielder is SUPPOSED to get it done. One out.

Steve Sax said...

Here's C0nforto (0-for-1 right now, with a walk).

Steve Sax said...

C0nf0rto grounds to second for the second out. (He's now 0-for-2.)

Steve Sax said...

Pages with a bloop single to center. Still two out.

Steve Sax said...

Kiké single, advancing Pages to second. Still two out.

Steve Sax said...

Dalton goes down in his AB, foul ball off his right knee. He's being carried off the field. That is not good.

Steve Sax said...

So now we've got Ben Rohrtvedt to catch, and Alex Call comes in to finish the plate appearance, with a 1-1 count.

Steve Sax said...

Call Ks on a ball up and out of the zone. Fuck.

Steve Sax said...

Dreyer with a nice 6th inning.

1-1 tie through 6

Steve Sax said...

Betts with a great AB and two-out double to the left-center gap. Let's GOOOO

Steve Sax said...

Freeman strands Mookie.

1-1 at the stretch.

Steve Sax said...

Treinen got away with one there, lucky

Steve Sax said...

Phillies up 9-3 in Miami.

Padres down 1-0 in Colorado

Steve Sax said...

Would be nice to see Teoscar get one here.

But he's hacking again.

Steve Sax said...

Hernandez grounds out to second, weakly. He's 0-for-4.

Steve Sax said...

Here's C0nf0rto.

Steve Sax said...

Conforto took one right down the middle for strike 1. Then he hacks through strike 2. And then he grounds weakly to second.

Can we please stop the Conforto disaster. He's 0-for-3, AGAIN

Steve Sax said...

Pages quickly down 0-2.

Steve Sax said...

Pages swings weakly to K at one outside the zone.

No guts from this team.

Steve Sax said...

Kopech in to pitch. He gets Gunnar Henderson to fly out to center. One out.

Steve Sax said...

Mountcastle was frozen there, called strike three. Nice pitch, Kopech!

Steve Sax said...

Nice inning by Kopech.

1-1 through 8

Steve Sax said...

Kiké grounds to first for an unassisted out #1.

Steve Sax said...

Here's Ben Rortvedt. Not expecting much here.

Steve Sax said...

Quickly down 0-2.

Steve Sax said...

I just realized I'm talking to myself here.

Hilarious

Steve Sax said...

Rortvedt works back to a full count. Hmm.

Steve Sax said...

Rortvedt Ks badly, right down the middle. And Cano stares him down from the mound.

Steve Sax said...

Rojas already down 0-2

Steve Sax said...

Rojas grounds out weakly.

Going to the bottom of the ninth. This impending loss is going to sting.

Steve Sax said...

And Tanner Scott fucking blows another game. Unbelievable.

karen said...

Thank you again Tanner Scott.

spank said...
