This game is now over a soon as it started. Rubber game tomorrow.
I didn't think that ball had a chance to go out. At night it wouldn't have even made it to the warning track.
Time to go back to watching the USA Pro Tour.

He has a rib problem or something that interferes with his left handed swinging. As far as I know, he's going back to switch hitting when it subsides.
That is like the third line drive DB the Dodgers have hit into.
Looks like, just as in yesterday's game, all of the scoring will be in one inning on one mistake pitch by the pitcher.
Just like I said, this series will be close and one team will win 2 of 3. All games should be very close where one hit or one play can make the difference in the game. So far both games have turned out as such.

Another reason why I know the Dodgers will lose today, my cousin is at the game. He has been to 12 games and they lost all but one. The only game they won is the one against the Rays where they scored 2 in the 8th and 5 in the 9th to win 7 to 6. Oh, and he left in the 8th before they did any scoring.
I am trying to convince him to leave the game now. Hopefully he listens and it is not too little too late.

Nice game for Lester. 7.1 innings 3 hits, no runs in (for now) one runner left on base for reliever. Lester has now given up 2 or fewer earned runs and pitched six or more innings in six of his last seven starts, and his ERA is finally back down under 4.00.

LA, Eighth Inning:
Gonzalez doubled to deep center, C Crawford and Y Puig scored
Why can't we get guys like that?

You do. You have Napoli and Gomes. The reason they scored the 4 runs in the 1st. You wouldn't have them if you still had Crawford and Gonzalez.
Like I've been saying, this trade has helped both teams. In the words of Cosmo-Kramer, "Thank you Magic!"
He and Lackey pitched very well.
Lackey pitched a complete game, giving up only 3 hits, and lost because of one bad pitch.
Looks like Ryu will also lose because of one bad pitch. This is what happens when two good teams play head to head.
ETA: BTW, if it was a night game, it would be 2-1 Dodgers. That Gomes HR would have been a routine fly ball out in front of the warning track. There is a huge difference in ball carry between day and night in this stadium. Dodgers stadium has one of the greatest HR differential between games at home and games on the road than any other stadium. It is the most difficult park to hit a HR at night, even though other parks may have bigger dimensions.

This is where having Matt Kemp is important. They currently do not have that protection behind Hanley. AJ Ellis is more of a 7 or 8 hitter in the NL, not a #5 hitter.
With Kemp today's lineup would have been:
Puig
M Ellis
Gonzalez
Ramirez
Kemp
Ethier
Uribe
AJ Ellis
Ryu
Or you could flip Uribe and Ellis

An annoying drunk sportscaster from Boston who did the "Why can't we get players like that" sticht every time a player the local team got rid of did anything remotely decent against them.
It probably started around the time that the Red Sox parted ways with Carlton Fisk, Fred Lynn and Rick Burelson. Lobel was a local media star back when a local newscast could be carried by its sports anchor. His station, WBZ, was an NBC affiliate, and when NBC started losing its pro sports contracts, everyone in Boston thought that Lobel was going to be toast, because it was implausible that a local newscast could continue to be built around its sports anchor when there was no pro sports lead-in and no cross promotion possibilities. I remember the newscast when the anchor announced that they had lost NFL football, and there were a bunch of awkward jokes that Lobel was now going to have to become an expert in figure skating.
WBZ had Dick Stockton as its sports anchor in the early 1970s and Jimmy Meyers as its weekend anchor. Then, when Stockton left for a network job, Meyers got bypassed and they gave the job to Len Berman. Then, when Berman left for a network job, they bypassed Meyers again and gave the job to Lobel. That weekend, Meyers announced at the end of his Sunday 11:00 PM telecast, that he was leaving the station and strongly hinted that he and others had been bypassed for the weekday anchor job because of race. Half an hour later, I was glued to the set in anticipation of Meyer's final salvo to come on the one minute segment that he always did at midnight, but they fired him before he got to give the parting shot that he had foreshadowed in his 11:00 PM sportscast.
The other black weekend newscaster who left on unhappy terms was Maurice Lewis. One Sunday night, when he was solo-casting, he had a coughing fit, and each time he seemed to have it under control, it would start again. And then, he glared at someone who we couldn't see and said, "No. I DON'T want you to read it" and almost instantly, a "Technical Difficiulties" sign went up on the screen and stayed there for five minutes. I was expecting to see a smashed newsdesk studio and a host all bandaged up like a mummy when the newscast continued. I'm pretty sure Lewis quit or was fired shortly after that, too.

Roger Twibell was the sports anchor at WBZ-TV in between Len Berman and Bob Lobel. When Twibell left for ESPN, Lobel got promoted to sports anchor over Jimmy Myers
I didn't know the Dodgers were the ESPN Sunday night game. Then I remembered they were playing the RedSox.

What kind of Nielsen ratings are the Dodgers getting this year? I remember seeing their numbers from 2010 or 2011 and they were virtually tied for last place with the Angels.
I don't see how the cable companies can give a gigantic TV contract to a big market team that, prior to this year, had not shown much upward elasticity of demand. I have to suspect that there may be some kind of give-back or mitigation if the viewing numbers do not rise in response to the Dodgers putting a better product on the field.

That is OK with me. It is a gorgeous day and it will be nice to kick back and enjoy the beautiful Chavez Ravine views on ESPN. Possible WS preview...
