MLB Game of the Night | 6/24 Giants @ Dodgers

[BigDDude]

Here is the Dodgers lineup:

1. RF: Yasiel Puig
2. 2B: Mark Ellis
3. 1B: Adrian Gonzalez
4. LF: Scott Van Slyke
5. 3B: Jerry Hairston
6. CF: Andre Ethier
7. C: Ramon Hernandez
8. SS: Luis Cruz
9. SP: Hyun-Jin Ryu

Not exactly an awe inspiring bunch if you ask me.

 

[Upstater]

It is like the Mets lineup. One or two guys worth wanting to see and thats about it

 

[HammerDown]

5-9 in that lineup is dead. This isn't a running lineup so if they're relying on advancing runners, the Dodgers aren't going to score many runs tonight. They need three HRs from the first four hitters.

 

[HammerDown]

My other two games turned out to be absolute disasters so I'm hoping this one will be better!

 

[Upstater]

I am looking forward to it. I am hoping Vin is calling the game though.

He calls all home games. And he's looking quite dapper tonight, as always. Appears that the LA crowd is going to be fashionably late on this Friday night.

Good way to start the game. Was close though.

 

[Upstater]

Nice bunt. It is such a lost art

 

[bamabear82]

J Up's due for another HR anytime now....

 

[Upstater]

Well I am hoping it is not now

 

[HammerDown]

I'm letting a few minutes build up so I can blast thru the commercials so I'm a little bit behind you guys.

Man, that GS to right field went right where Gibson's HR went in '88.

 

[bamabear82]

Gattis is my hero.

 

[Upstater]

That's a good plan. I wish I had extra innings on tv. I don't enjoy watching on the internet as much as I used to.

 

[bamabear82]

Heyward and BJ damn near run into each other every time a ball goes remotely toward either of them.

 

[Upstater]

I have a hard time with near collisions when the ball is just hanging in the air. There is plenty of time to call someone off. Never should it be that close.

 

[Upstater]

I forgot Chris Johnson was on the Braves. I interviewed him several times during his first professional season in 2006.

I agree. It seems like neither of them ever want to give up on it though. BJ's gonna end up getting flattened.

Getting him in the Upton trade is what made losing Prado a little easier to take to me personally. I've always liked the guy.

 

[bamabear82]

Uggla struck out.

 

[bamabear82]

BJ didn't strike out.
