July 19 @ LA Dodgers

[cardiacs]

Starting this a bit early (with dope approval) as I am about to travel a bit with young'uns, and worried this will slip my mind.
And, with that understood:
12 games over .500 would be nice.

 

[InsideTheParker]

This game will be beginning when I would like to be drifting off to dreamland. 10:10 EDT.
I will probably be watching in bed, but won't be participating in the game thread, except to say:
GEAUX, SOX! Keep it geauxing.

I’ll watch on your behalf, as well as mine, from San Diego with my oldest son. On vacation to the nation’s most beautiful city, San Diego. Be nice to drub the Dodgers.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Dominate the Dodgers

 

[The Gray Eagle]

MLB shows Pivetta starting Friday, followed by Crawford on Saturday and Bello on Sunday.

Looks like the Dodgers are throwing that TBD guy all 3 games, he must have stamina.

 

[mauidano]

It's a 4:00 pm start in the late afternoon for me. I'll cover you late-nighters on the East Coast.

 

[BornToRun]

I’m a realistic sort of guy, generally kind of, so I’ll keep it simple. The Dodgers are really, really good and we’re in their house so don’t get swept and I’ll be happy. Having said that, it’d be cool if you went out and swept the fuckers.

 

[LogansDad]

The All Star Break is stupid. God I miss watching this team play.

 

[E5 Yaz]

The game is free to watch on MLB.com

 

[TrotNixonRing]

Extremely interesting and fateful stretch coming up. Let us come together and cheer on our Sox. This season has been fun, let’s turn it up a notch.

If the Dodgers were in the AL East they'd be in 3rd place, a hair ahead of the Sox.

(But I, too, would be OK with a 1-2 series.)

 

[moretsyndrome]

Lucky enough to have the day off and house-sit at the beach for my SIL. In preparation for the late game, I just woke up and will try to summon up the willpower to avoid the beer fridge until 8 or so. Let's do this. Make them bleed Dodger Blue until it turns Red.

Series 32: SOX vs DODGERS
So long between Red Sox games. For goodness sake!
I hate the non-baseball days after the break.
Though Duran’s MVP is something I’ll take.
Long gone are the days when he seemed like a flake.
(We retract any ill words we ever spake.)
The second half starts and a lot is at stake.
Can the Red Sox offense continue to rake?
Can the pitching staff prove they’re real and not fake?
Can our infielders keep avoiding the snake?
Will the Yanks and the O’s continue to shake
and watch the Red Sox leave them both in our wake,
while we dance to some remixed anthem by Drake?
There are looming deadline decisions to make.
Assuring we’re buyers is no piece of cake.
We’ve got to stay hot, so go out there and bake.
Let’s demolish L.A. like we’re an earthquake.

 

[Ale Xander]

Easier to root against the Dodgers with no Mookie

 

[mauidano]

Thank God I have the Dodgers on my cable package; otherwise, blacked out.

Stone, Wrobleski and Paxton now listed as the three starters for the series.

You're blacked out of free games on mlb.com? Huh, I know very little about how this tuff works ... but it seems odd

Sounds like a law firm that advertises all over The Five

A win would be ideal.

I'm on phone. Anyone know offhand if these are lhp or rhps?

Stone is a righty; the other two are lefty

How soon they forget

Oh, yeah. Paxton. Not thinking too clearly this aft.

Jeez, and we see relievers that can't go three days in a row.

 

[TrotNixonRing]

Disembowel the Dodgers

 

[Dewey's 'stache]

Defecate the Dodgers

 

[Dewey's 'stache]

I am giddy with anticipation for the 2nd half of the season. This team has been a joy to watch.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

Seeing Mata hurt again reminded me the current bullpen could single-handedly ruin this road trip. Probably going to be some nervous moments.

They should all be well-rested, so hopefully we see the best versions of them.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Gavin not Newsom is pitching for the Dodgers. He’s had a good overall season albeit rocky in his last two starts. Continue the rockiness.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

There isn't a former Red Sox in that lineup. Are we sure it's the Dodgers?

 

[TrotNixonRing]

Mayer has a HR and Anthony has a 3B first game back after break

 

[pinkhatfan]

Three more hours seems like a long time to wait. I'm conditioned to watch baseball now.

Check out Apple TV, Pads-Guardians. Heidi Watney did a pregame interview with Xander, and doing sideline during the game. All time fave of mine sideline reporter.

Rafaela has been great, but damn do I miss watching Trevor Story play shortstop. Really hope he can be healthy next year. I love him as a leader of this team, too, he has really settled into that role well, from all that I have read.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

Bit worried about Pivetta longball-itis tonight

 

[Al Zarilla]

Nomar on the call (color man) for LA.

Doesn’t matter. If you’re in a blackout, you’re out. The AppleTV games seem to be free from that though as I saw the Padres game. It’s irritating, al of it.
