Spivey11 Posted June 14, 2005 Author Share Posted June 14, 2005 Nail-Biter (Above: Choi drives in the winning run in the ninth, Right: Bob Melvin asks the ump, "Where's the beef?") What a game! Tied 0-0 going into the bottom of the ninth inning. The Dodgers did not want to go into extra innings, so they decided that they would come alive in the ninth - with Jason Phillips leading off the inning with his first hit of the game, then Jose Valentin continuing his perfect game at the plate, and finally Hee-Seop Choi driving Phillips in on a single up the middle. Tonight's game was a typical pitcher's duel, with Brad Penny facing off against Brad Halsey. Penny through a complete game only allowing three hits and striking out one en route to his first win of the year. Halsey, who has yet to win a game, went 6.1 innings and only giving up two hits on eight strike outs - but he did walk four. Dodgers: 11-8 Diamondbacks: 9-11 Hitting Notables: J.

pez_dispenser21 Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 Did the D-Backs ever get even close to scoring like a runner on 3rd 1 out or a play at the plate. Just wonder . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spivey11 Posted June 15, 2005 Author Share Posted June 15, 2005 Tracy Unimpressed (Above: For the second straight game Melvin was tossed, Right: Glaus hits a solo jack in the eighth.) I guess he was over-hyped by the entire Dodger staff; or was it that he just had a bad night. No one can be certain. But what is certain, Edwin Jackson was very unimpressive in his first major league start this year. He was only able to go five innings while giving up four runs on seven hits - one which was a three run homer by Chad Tracy. The Dodgers were able to avoid being shutout with Carl Crawford scoring on a sac-fly by J. D. Drew. Crawford might be coming around after his injury, going 1-3 with a double, a walk, a run scored, and a stolen base (his seventh on the year). Werth also did very well, going 2-3, raising his team leading batting average to .339. "I'm not going to give up on him just yet. I'm going to put him in the bullpen as a long reliever, and if he does well, he might get another start." said manager Jim Tracy after the game when asked about what was going to become of young hurler Jackson. Dodgers: 11-9 Diamondbacks: 10-11 Hitting Notables: C. Crawford: 1-3, 1 2B, 1 Run, 1 BB, 1 SB T. Glaus: 3-4, 2 RBI, 1 Run, 1 HR C. Tracy: 1-4, 3 RBI, 1 Run, 1 HR Pitching Notables: E.

In the five games that I've played the D-Backs this year, he has been tossed three times. It's quite funny. :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spivey11 Posted June 15, 2005 Author Share Posted June 15, 2005 Game Over......Not Quite (Above: Crawford lays down the perfect base-hit bunt, Right: Gonzalez hits 3-run homer off of Gagne.) Gagne was near perfect all year, but he's not anymore. With two runners on in the eighth inning and nobody out, manager Jim Tracy decided to put Gagne in to record a two inning save. He did everything but, the first batter he faced was Luis Gonzalez, and he hit a opposite field three run homer to tie the game at 4-4. Things were looking very good for the Dodgers as they had a 4-1 lead in going into the eighth inning. With one run scored by Carl Crawford, two by Cesar Izturis, and one by Jason Phillips. So, the game went into extra innings as the Dogers weren't able to score in the eighth or ninth innings. But in the tenth, the D-Backs get the bases loaded on a very costly error by Jeff Kent, and Scott Hairston hit a grand slam to give the D-Backs a 8-4 lead and eventual win. Dodgers: 11-10 Diamondbacks: 11-11 Hitting Notables: C. Crawford: 2-5, 1 Run, 2 SB C. Izturis: 2-4, 1 RBI, 2 Runs, 1 3B L. Gonzalez: 2-5, 3 RBI, 1 Run, 1 HR S. Hairston: 3-5, 4 RBI, 1 Run, 1 GS Pitching Notables: D. Lowe: 8 IP, 3 ER, 7 H, 4 Ks, 1.66 ERA R.

Viceman2004 Posted June 18, 2005 Share Posted June 18, 2005 Crawford is the leadoff batter in my Dynasty as well (Cubs). I've already hit for the cycle with him once and came close. Im in July, and he leads the league in 3Bs. (20) Hold on to crawford, I've found out lately that he can hit for power. On a side note, Gagne may be gone for the season. what a shame. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spivey11 Posted June 19, 2005 Author Share Posted June 19, 2005 Well, I've played the series with Colorado Rockies and I posted it on the updated site - and I guess everything that was posted on the updated site isn't on the non-updated one. So here are the Box Scores for the three game series versus the Rockies: Game 1: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 R H E COL 0 0 0 0 0 0 3 0 0 3 6 0 LAD 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 2 8 1 Game 2: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 R H E COL 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 6 0 LAD 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2 2 7 0 Game 3: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 R H E COL 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 2 6 0 LAD 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 6 0 The Rockies took 2 out of the 3 games from the Los Angeles Dodgers and they are now 12-12 on the year. The Dodgers will now have a three game series against the Washington Nationals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spivey11 Posted June 20, 2005 Author Share Posted June 20, 2005 National Domination (Above: Crawford steals second in the first inning, Right: Crawford collides with the Nationals catcher trying to score.) The Nationals, or better yet, Brad Wilkerson, dominated the Dodgers tonight. Wilkerson who went 2-4 with two home runs, three RBIs, and two runs scored. He drove in all of the National's runs tonight. Scott Erickson, who started tonight's game for the Dodgers, was only able to go five innings, giving up three runs on seven hits - two of which were homers by Wilkerson. The Dodger's bullpen, on the other hand, pitched very well. Going four innings and only giving up four hits and striking out three. Livan Hernadez started the game for the Nationals, and he ended it. Going the full nine innings, while only giving up four hits and striking out nine. Dodgers: 12-13 Nationals: 14-12 Hitting Notables: C. Crawford: 2-4, 2 SB B. Wilkerson: 2-4, 3 RBI, 2 Runs, 2 HR J. Guillen: 2-4, 1 Run Pitching Notables: S. Erickson: 5 IP, 3 ER, 7 H, 3.24 ERA, Loss L.

Stix Posted June 20, 2005 Share Posted June 20, 2005 Ok you need to mess with the sliders more. You started you like 7-1 and since you're like 5-12. Make it just a little easier on yourself and I think you got the right combo of sliders working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deathnotronic Posted June 20, 2005 Share Posted June 20, 2005 Hey Spivey, I think you need me on your team being the ComeBackKid and all :wink: haha. Anyways, sucks your under .500, but I have a feeling you'll bounce back soon. Unfortunately I had to quit my Houston Dynasty like you did your Braves one because of those damn legend players and I hope you don't quit this one, they are extremely fun to follow. On a side-note, have you thought about capturing video while you are playing and posting it like a highlight video? -CBK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
