Wahoos at Lymebees

Leave a comment

Game 1; Kluber vs Clevinger; Wahoos score unearned run in 2nd without a hit, 2 run double by Benintendi in 3rd and 2 run 2 out HR by Encarnacion in 4th, Bees get a 2 run HR by Puig in 5th but that would be it as Kluber pitches a complete game 5-2 win.

Game 2; Sale vs Ray; Pham leads off 1st for Bees and is HBP and Upton is up next and hits a 2 run HR, a few pitching changes in game as Ray, Giles and Devenski pitch the shutout for a 2-0 Bees win.

Game 3; Strasburg vs Fulmer; Wahoos get 2 run 2 out single by Encarnacion in 1st, Bees get solo HR by Beltre in 3rd, Bees tie game in 6th on a Pham HR, Maldonado doubles to lead off the Wahoos 9th Altuve singles and with runners on 1st and 3rd the Bees elect to stay back and Santana hits into a double play that scores the go ahead run, Bees go down 1-2-3 in ninth as Wahoos win 3-2.

Lymebees record at 14-10.

Ironic Juggs at Speakers

Leave a comment

Irony abounds in Juggs first 8 series. The Juggs go 1-2 in six series. Our only 2 winning series are 3-0 sweeps against Steve and Brian, this past seasons World Series teams.

Juggs traveled to Speakers with a lot of confidence tonight, needing a sweep to get to .500 (12-12 ). Juggs got a lot of help from the Speakers almost non-existing hitting. Juggs homers made the big difference. Stats to follow soon. Judge is on an MVP pace.

Bees at Juggs

Leave a comment

Lymebees travel to Juggs and guess what? Juggs lose 2 of 3 again.

Had a tied game 4-4 in top of ninth and Pham hits a two out two run shot for Lymebees win in game one of series.

Game 2 Wood throws a one hit gem in 8.1 innings; only gives up a solo shot to Travis in top of ninth.

Game 3 Juggs lose 3-1. Galvis makes his second error of series and it costs Juggs a run. Also in this game Votto rolls a fielding 3 which results in a single leading to another run.

Messy Bees and ABs

Leave a comment

I don’t really do write ups much but this one got messy. John and I hooked up yesterday for a morning series, a break for lunch and finished up w/ a series in the afternoon.

Game 1 – 12-2 AB’s Stanton, Healy, Castro and Sanchez (2) hit HR’s and Sanchez drives in 5 as Lynn tosses a complete game. A -13 gift HR loses the shutout for Lynn in 9th.

Game 2 – 6-3 AB’s series gets weird in the 8th as Sanchez and Mauer run each other over trying for a foul ball. Mauer has to leave the game and Sanchez is out for 3 games.

Game 3 – Bees 3-2 Stanton HR in 1st is countered by an Olson 2 run bomb in bottom half. Mauer drives in a run in 2nd. But in the 5th Mauer runs over Grandal on another foul pop. Mauer leaves game and Grandal is out for 1 game. The AB’s now have no catchers for game 3 or the first game of next series. Kevin Pillar raises his hand to volunteer to throw the gear on. Cano knocks in go ahead run in 7th for Bees as the AB’s kick up a fuss in 9th with 2 outs and a man on 1st they hit and run w/ Gardner who gets in the 2nd column but rolls a single and Andrus grounds out to end it.

Game 4 – Bees win 3-2 Manager Steve implores an old softball strategy as Joe Mauer knows how to catch but rather than downgrade two positions he leaves Mauer at 1st and Ryon Healy is the next man up to catch. Zunino HR in 3rd is countered by 2 solo’s from Turner and Ozuna in 7th. Jansen comes on in 9th but yields a 44-0 single to Upton who steals 2nd then Cano doubles Upton in and scores on a wild throw by Jansen.

Game 5 – AB’s 3-1 Ozuna (2) and Gardner drive in the runs as Lance Lynn goes 6 innings for his 2nd win of the day. Grandal survives the entire game at catcher.

Game 6 – AB’s 2-0 as Mad Max hurls a CG gem (helped by John’s rolling ice cubes). Trout scores both runs after reaching on 2 errors. Scores a run on another error and the other on a Stanton double. Sanchez survives the entire game behind the dish.

The Bees only get 26 hits on the day. But the cheesesteaks at Mother’s Subs were good and so was the company.

The AB’s are now 9-6 on the young season with no games scheduled this weekend.
