Game 59 Thread: May 31 vs Phillies, 1p

Yoshinobu Yamamoto vs. Andrew Painter.

That starting matchup sounds like our Japanese ace does not support the arts. I don't think that's the case, but I hope Yoshi can paint corners himself today.

Dammit Shohei, that ball was center center. Gotta swing. 2-2 count.

Steve Sax said...

Full count to Shohei.

Steve Sax said...

Lots of pitches this AB for Sho

Shohei fooled badly on that K. Swings out of his helmet.

1-0 LA through 2

Yoshi gets Schwarber to K on a curve. 1-0 LA, mid-3

$60mil single and rbi. another miracle

Steve Sax said...

RYAN WARD HR!

karen said...

Ryan Ward hits his first big league homer.

Steve Sax said...

First career MLB HR for Ryan Ward. Wow.

Steve Sax said...

What the heck happened to Dalton Rushing's bat? Is he hanging out with Kyle Tucker?

Steve Sax said...

Freeland HR!

Steve Sax said...

I have to admit, I was a bit surprised with Kim was sent down. But Freeland is making the most of this time up in the big leagues.

Painter chased!

Steve Sax said...

4-0 LA, one out, B4

spank said...

oh shit. Freeland coming out party. gonna have to put some respect on his starting lineup name

Steve Sax said...

Yoshi has a key K on Schwarber with two RISP and one out. Now there's two out with Trea Turner up in the top of the fifth. Yoshi at 93 pitches.

karen said...

Great pitch by Yoshi to finish off Turner.

Steve Sax said...

Huge K on Turner there to end the fifth. One-out walk for Mookie in the bottom of the fifth.

Steve Sax said...

Tucker with a double! Mookie to third. Nice shot by Kyle, hits the wall on the fly.
