It’s a battle of lefties tonight. The Dodgers send Rich Hill (10-3, 2.09 ERA) out for his second start since being acquired at the trade deadline, and the Rockies counter with Tyler Anderson (4-5, 3.69 ERA). In his first outing for the Dodgers Hill went six scoreless innings against the Giants; in his last start Anderson gave up two runs in five innings against the Brewers.

When I fell asleep, Greinke had just surrendered an RBI double to Flash-in-the-Panik. It shoulda been a triple, but a Gnatfan reached over the fence to keep him at second – possibly the difference in the game.
NPUT @1100 PT Wednesday, 8/31.
Snakes now lead 4-1, after Beef Wellington delivers a two-run single off Cueto, who’s knocked out of box.
Snakes have taken the lead over the Gnats. 2-1 in the fifth. Greinke throwing lotsa pitches, though.
Rainout. Day-night DH tomorrow.
I hope you are not too disappointed. It is a bummer that you made this special trip and the game gets rained out. Can you go tomorrow?
A friend from Chicago and I bought tickets for all three games. Hoping the skies are clear tomorrow afternoon. Won’t see tomorrow night’s game because I have an evening flight back to San Jose. Had a long conversation with a couple of big Dodgers fans from Colorado Springs and chatted with a guy who pitched minor league baseball 60 years ago. Evening turned out pretty well. Thanks for your post.
It has stopped raining!
Are they still thinking they will play tonight? Regardless, glad to see Seager out. He needs a breather after getting plunked twice last night. Let the swelling go down.
He was expected to sit even before the HBP.
Rainout looks likely. We are in the center of a storm cell. Hail predicted.
Well, I hope you get your ticket refunded.
Seems like tailor-made for a day-night doubleheader on Weds.
Raining real hard now.
Are you under cover?
Yes, thankfully. We are on the club level, indoors. Parts of the field are in deep water. I can’t see the game being played.
Reporting from Coors Field (Day 2): First of all, my apologies for last night. At least we didn’t get shut out. Thank you, Toles. I am underwhelmed by our lineup tonight. It is raining, but it should clear up soon. By the way, in response to a comment last night, the beer here is quite good.
There’s an Argentine pizzeria and ice cream shop nearby: http://www.bapizza.com.
I also recommend the empanadas.
I hope he can throw a no hitter today. He will need to with that line up behind him.
on the bright side, we have an awesome bench tonight
Strong bench, though.
I can’t resist this–strong bench though!
