Game 37 Thread: May 6 @ Cheaters, 11a

Lance and Cheaters go together.

Tyler Glasnow (3-0, 2.56) vs. Lance McCullers Jr. (2-2, 6.32).

Today could be a merciful end to a horrifically unproductive road trip: 2-3 record in the first five games, but only scoring more than four runs one time. But with the National League-leading Atlanta Braves waiting for us this weekend, it might be nice to have a little of momentum going into that series.

@karen: thank you! beat me to it

Steve Sax said...

Brock Stewart reactivated.

Steve Sax said...

My god, we're batting Teo third?! What the fuck

Steve Sax said...

Hey, Teoscar Hernandez is up, and flailing away! He strikes out on a pitch about a foot above the strike zone!

Dodgers don't score in the first.

Steve Sax said...

And, Glasnow gives up a leadoff home run on the third pitch.

Steve Sax said...

Tucker with a leadoff double in the second, Dodgers down 1-0

Steve Sax said...

Muncy doesn't deliver, but at least took pitches. Pages flies out on the first pitch, and now here's Rushing, with two out.

karen said...

Oh no...Glasnow leaving the game after 1 inning.

spank said...

what happened to glasnow?

karen said...

@Spanky...Don't know. I'm guessing his back.

karen said...

Lower back pain for Glasnow.

Steve Sax said...

Glasnow is so fucking fragile

Steve Sax said...

We scored in the top of the second: Rushing single advanced Tucker to third, and a wild pitch brought him home.

1-1, B2, 2 out.

karen said...

Dreyer sits the Cheaters down in order. Game tied 1-1.

Freeland scores on another wild pitch. 2-1 Boys.

3 run homer for Andy!! 6-1 Boys T3.

spank said...

Pages!!

Steve Sax said...

We're up 7-1 thanks to the Freeman RBI (Ohtani walk, then steals second and scores).

And then there's the black hole that is Teoscar, striking out with Freeman on second. Teo is 0-for-3.

Steve Sax said...

Even Muncy can get a hit, Teo

Steve Sax said...

Pages with ANOTHER HR!

Steve Sax said...

9-1 LA!

karen said...

Another homer for Pages! 9-1 Blue.

Steve Sax said...

Even Rushing can get on with an infield single, Teo

Steve Sax said...

Even Kim can get a base hit, Teo

Steve Sax said...

Even Freeland can get on base, Teo (albeit a FC)

Steve Sax said...

RBI single for Ohtani, scoring Dalton from third.

10-1 LA!

Steve Sax said...

Teoscar strikes out AGAIN to end the inning (with the bases loaded).

Thanks a ton, Teo!
