As always, no PBP in the thread. If you need that try one of the game cast sites. Keep discussion to this series. If it is not about this series it goes somewhere else. 4-20 Ted Lilly, LHP vs. J.A. Happ, LHP 7:05 on FS-H, MLBN, Dish446, DirecTV-678, DishHD-9516 4-21 Clayton Kershaw, LHP vs. Kyle Weiland, RHP 6:05 on FS-H, Dish448, DirecTV-678, DishHD-9518 4-22 Chad Billingsley, RHP vs. Wandy Rodriguez, LHP 1:05 on FS-H, DirecTV-678, Dish442, DishHD-9580
Lilly and Billingsley are manageable. Kershaw, not so much. Either this will be 2 out of 3 wins or 2 out of 3 losses.
Dodgers have a great rotation, the best player in baseball right now, and a good RF. They have a terrible offense though outside of Kemp and Ethier, and a bullpen that is a mix of mediocre and unproven.
Lineups per McTaggart: 1. Justin Maxwell, CF 2. Jose Altuve, 2B 3. J.D. Martinez, LF 4. Carlos Lee, 1B 5. Chris Johnson, 3B 6. Jed Lowrie, SS 7. Brian Bogusevic, RF 8. Chris Snyder, C 9. J.A. Happ, P
run should have already been in. that was one of the crazier no-sends/decisions by altuve (which was it? had tv muted at the time) that i've ever seen.
You're right, run probably should have scored. Crazy base running from 2nd to 3rd(IIRC) and 3rd to home(in which he went back to 3rd). Hesitation, should I or shouldn't I?! I'm just tuning in though.
We may have lot but it was a ton of fun! Got there a little early and Got a few autographs, i Got JD Martínez's Brad Mills, Lucas Harrell and doug brocail. Martínez is one of the nicest guys ive met, i dont know if its because he is a rookie or not, but the man Got every single ones stuff autographed and posed for pictures too, every cool guy and he said that these are the bed fans hes ever seen. Its nice to know he is a good guy seeing as How he will be the face of the franchise.
that's cool to hear about martinez. some people get it, some don't. hopefully he stays that way. pretty excited about him and altuve as 2 great pieces to have on this team for years to come. 2 guys who could hit at every level, and it's continuing in the majors. and i'm still shocked that altuve is the youngest player in the majors.
I don't want to be too hard on Brad Mills, but I have absolutely no idea why you'd pitch to Matt Kemp with a runner on third, two outs and first/second base BOTH open. Baffled me.
Still in shock over that grand slam. I thought he hot robbed at the fence til I saw the crowd reaction.
