[Ding Dong Johnson]

get it done here. Heyward has already gotten all of his hits for the month

[NotSoSober]

strike 2 to russell was horse horsefeathers

[Sammys Boombox]

That's a pretty bad K call

[philosophizer75]

It was really quite awful.

[Schwarber Fan]

Damn.

[Bigloubaby]

If I was a hardcore gambler and took the under at every game e Ever played at dodger stadium, how much money would I have won?

 

It just seems like every game is ridiculously low scoring

[Careless]

oh damn it

[Brian]

ugh

[NotSoSober]

horsefeathers

[Cubswin11]

horsefeathers

[soccer10k]

Damn. Couple inches from the lead.

[Schwarber Fan]

I give up. I'm gonna be 0-3 in game threads.

[Sammys Boombox]

Heyward is locked in

[TruffleShuffle]

big thumbs down to the ump for his work in those last two at bats.

[philosophizer75]

Well heyward seems fixed, but horsefeathering BABIP just had to shaft is there, eh?

[NotSoSober]

I give up. I'm gonna be 0-3 in game threads.

95% of the people that don't like Scully are younger people that have no attention span. I too find his stories to be compelling because he does his own research and still has a knack for the delivery. Sometimes he has trouble recognizing pitches or will do something like say Rizzo popped up when he meant to say Zobrist, but that is minor in my eyes. His memory is [expletive] incredible and every time he recalls something from back when a player like Jackie played it blows my mind.

 

This is his primary job.

 

Stories are fine, but long and rambling tales to nowhere are just bad. Scully has a classic voice but in this millennium he's been way past his prime, he would've been better off confined to radio or given a partner.

 

That may be his primary job but I dont see him screwing up a ton like Harry in his later years. Im sure he's past his prime but he still seems pretty damn sharp to me.

 

Len & JD are great but there is plenty of younger guys in the booth that not only mess up play calls, rules, player analysis but also do not have anything near as interesting to say as Scully.

 

I'm 27 by the way.. so I'm not old guy yelling at cloud... yet...

[Ski]

I mean, this wouldn't be an issue if we could score off of Brock horsefeathering Stewart.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Why are umpires?

[soccer10k]

Strike 2 for Kendrick was terrible also so it evens out, I guess.

Vin Scully literally said Alfonso Soriano had been traded from the Cubs in a game he ended up pinch hitting. A year before Soriano was traded.

 

He hasn't been good in a decade and it's not a crime to admit it.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

This is your reminder that the Dodgers started Hernandez, Culberson and Segedin in a game during a pennant chase, plus Reddick against a LHP. Their payroll is over 270 million.

[NotSoSober]

Do you let Lester come out for the 7th?

[UMFan83]

Lester cruising but at 98 pitches and due up 3rd. If Javy and Ross go down I imagine he might bat but with anyone on he might be PH because of the gillion game lead.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Do you let Lester come out for the 7th?

 

He's due up 3rd, so if there's anyone on base it's an easy no. Maybe even if it's 2 out and none on too.
