D-Backs at Dodgers, 7:10PM, TV: SPNLA.
This is already the third series between the two teams in the young season. Greinke (3-0, 2.76 ERA) has faced the Diamondbacks once this year and won; he’ll try to do it again. Miley (2-2, 5.04 ERA) has faced the Dodgers twice already and has lost both games.
Whether Hanley Ramirez plays or not will be a game-time decision based on how his left hand feels after getting hit by Ryan Vogelsong Wednesday night. Adrian Gonzalez has a twelve-game hitting streak.
Lineup when available.

I don’t like Mattingley’s substations. Should have left Kemp in. Let Turner hit but hit for SVS, etc
He may have matchup data readily at hand which we don’t have in the heat of the moment. Or you might be right.
Kemp merely made the last out in previous inning. putting League in Turner’s spot would have still put 5 hitters in front of League
Bye. Another game tomorrow at 5:10 PM PST.
Good night, all.
Stinker of the season, to this point.
Tough night for Puig.
This may be too big a hill, we’ll see
Let’s go, Blue.
Well, they were due a win against us.
The way the offense has been going . . .
Uh-oh.
On to twelve.
Maybe practice will make perfect for FedEx?
Here, Andre, go in for a couple of innings. You probably won’t have to do much.
‘Dre!!!
Jinx, Link.
Heh.
Ok… so, who buys who a coke? 🙂 “Jinks”
You are right. It’s been a long game…
Phew!
Phew…
Nice to have some company :).
More free baseball.
Oh, darn.
Onward we go
Yo Adrian!
Timely DP
Turner got flipped making the turn at 2nd, too.
Injury delay – who?
League tried to barehand and deflected the ball.
Woohoo!
Uribear!
I love you, Juan Uribe!
Saw your post before hearing it on Gameday Audio . . . but not sure how good it was — VERY!
2nd the emotion!
Thanks, Bob !…. Buckle up! Hopefully, a fun 9th… and, a win.
Addison Reed should be a diplomat, not a pitcher.
Where has all the offense gone?
Bullpen (and other) problems magnify when you’re not scoring runs.
Just there
A very wise man said ask and you’ll receive . . . guess that was close enough!
Says Vinny… “So, Honeycutt goes out there to calm down Withrow…”
….
Question: Who’s coming out to calm down all of us Dodger viewers who just saw Brandon League warming up in the pen???? 🙂
Have a drink?
I’m already on it, Linkmeister……
A nice Zinfandel…. 2nd glass… 🙂
How about you?
Finished dinner just now.
Pleasepleasepleasepleeeeeassseee, no League.
Ug. Ly.
That’s not good. Walk the first guy you see.
Not the first guy. This is his second inning.
Hi everyone! Been watching, without commenting. Close one, though (stating the obvious).
Who sneaked SVS onto the lineup card while Mattingly wasn’t looking?
Dodgers.com has Hanley in the lineup.
Thanks. Lineup posted.
I’m still not convinced it’s a good idea.
I am not optimistic about Hanley’s playing (effectively) any time soon. Even without a break, not the sort of thing you recover from in a day or two.
It’s both good and bad, arguably, to face the Snakes so frequently so soon. On one level, it’s advantageous to face them when they’re down and losing, but the schedule could mean more games with tougher teams later.
