Dodgers at Brewers, 5:10PM PT, TV: SPNLA
The Brewers ask Matt Garza to win in his first career start against the Dodgers, while Zack Greinke tries to win after a Dodgers’ loss, which he’s done at least 3 times this season. He’s 0-2 with a 4.76 ERA against the Brewers, but by dint of his short career in a Brewers’ uniform he’s won 15 and lost only 2 at Miller Park. Which fact will prevail?
Lineup:
Tonight's #Dodgers lineup vs the Brewers:
Pederson CF
Rollins SS
Kendrick 2B
Gonzalez 1B
Turner 3B
Ethier RF
Grandal C
Guerrero LF
Greinke P

Looking forward to see what we got in Wieland.
Was out tonight to see a play (Clever Little Lies) with my beautiful wife. Wonderful to see the team rebound after last nights game. Sorry to miss the in game banter with you all!
Which play did you see?
I LOVE theatre and am blessed to make a living writing and directing faith-based skits for churches and schools.
My favorite musical is “Les Miserables.” My favorite “play” is “The Crucible.”
We love the theatre as well. Tonight we saw the play Clever Little Lies – a play about infedelity in marriages.
I also love musicals a lot – and Les Mis is one of my favourites as well. Along with most of Sondheim’s stuff. Best play my wife and I have seen live was To Kill A Mockingbird. Simply amazing.
I prefer a reason-based occupation.
I know I’ve been blessed with what I’m able to do, Dave — good for you as well!
I saw a version of “Mockingbird” as well and loved it, but I love the movie and the book even more . . . can’t wait for the “prequel” this summer.”
The skits I’ve had published so far were by Eldridge Plays & Musicals — the most popular are monologs by people at Bethlehem and Calvary.
I’ve since done close to 80 and am hoping to create a website to offer them.
Thumbs up for “The Crucible,” although the witch in “Bell, Book and Candle” is more appealing. 😉
How did you like “Book of Mormon?”
Absolutely LOVED it. Hilarious (I still laugh when listening to the soundtrack), touching, and –ultimately — faith-filled.
It’s not a play, but “Life of Brian” is the best.
nicely pitched and nice to have the bats come alive
Woo-HOO!!!
lets finish this game off with a bang
What a much-needed great performance by Zack!
Once again he proves his value to this team.
As much of a fan of Kersh that I am, I wouldn’t mind seeing him get his 2nd CYA.
It also helps when you have 3 HR’s to assist you
Amen. But Zack’s record following an LA loss is incredibly good.
Just saw the box score — 7 hits = 7 runs. Very efficient.
And no earned runs for Zack.
They’re saying it was a 500 Footer!
Soo glad they have exorcised the pod people!
AGon!!!
— again!
Guess he heard he had lost the HR lead.
Even Steiner got it right.
Glad for Jimmy.
Happy for us.
The two-out RBI hit was crucial . . . the 4-bagger a bonus!
Still watching!
Wonder if we will see Mongo this series,
Mongo?
Brox
Ah, right.
Nice low pitch count for Greinke.
Nice, now lets hold this 3-1 lead today
From your keys . . .
Done for the day. Moving indide now so I can watch instead of listen.
Glad I dropped by!
So are we!
Thatta boy, Justin!
Never so happy to be Steinered (by Mo)!!!!
JT!!!
These earlier games are wreaking havoc on my writing schedule. Checking in – go Blue! Let’s see if they can score now.
I write between innings.
Radio is conducive to writing throughout the game for me.
I lose the plot enough as it is!
I’m buying into the “RBI Mojo,” RBI. 🙂
Tale of two hits — Joc’s is solid and caught, this was apparently weak but dropped.
Oh well . . . this is baseball!
Silver Lining Dept.: Not only did Joc NOT K, he apparently hit it well.
Be healthy YG!
What happened?
Seemed to be limping slightly, apparently walked it off.
Moved over to 3rd on the groundout and came up holding above or below his knee.
Radio speculates that took any form of a squeeze off the table.
A two-out squeeze? (or am I missing something?)
You are — Zack was the 2nd out.
C;mon, Zack — help yourself!!!
Grandal!
Let’s bring him in now!
And more . . . !!!!!
ZacKKKK
we need to make Gaza work for it
Already at almost 50 pitches.
But didn’t have to work much that inning.
For 23 of the last 25 innings, it seems pods have inhabited Dodger batters — nothing like they have been for most of the year . . . outside SF — come to think of it, it makes sense that the pods invaded them then!
Unlikely to keep scoring 5.5 runs per game, so some regression is to be expected.
Sure . . . just worried about what “some” turns out to be.
I’m impressed Joc was patient enough to get the walk after being the goat last half-inning.
I can see a less mature player being over-eager to prove himself.
No eyes (or ears). What sort of error did Joc make?
Just going by audio myself, they said he ran an odd route and got the ball in the glove but it came out. They think he misjudged how hard it was hit.
Bad route, even then dropped ball he shoulda caught.
C’mon, Zack, start this off . . . ‘If it’s meant to be, it’s up to me!’
Sure hope the offense wakes up!
C’mon, Alex!
At least the DP averted.
C’mon, Grandal!
Let’s go Dodgers, let’s go!
Who would have guessed that Pederson would have started the game with a … strikeout?
After yesterday’s leadoff HR, it’s a bit all or nothing
The walk is something.
What would Glenn Burke say? http://www.slate.com/blogs/outward/2015/05/05/dodger_s_gay_kiss_cam_moment_draws_cheers_from_baseball_fans_video.html
What will Billy Bean say? Probably nothing.
Always the sceptic, I consider the possibility it is a gag, planned and executed with trickery aforethought… People today do things like that.
