Shartlesville Browns vs. The Plague

Leave a comment

Today the Browns took on The Plague

Game 1: Rodon v Estrada. Runs were at a premium in this one. New Brown Josh Reddick led off the 3rd with a single, moved to 3rd on ground outs from Perez and Fowler and came in to score on a wild pitch. It was still 1-0 in the top of the 9th when Maybin and C. Seager singled followed by a Jose Abreu triple to plate two insurance runs. Another new Brown, Cody Allen, worked the 9th for the save. Rodon improved to 4-1 on the season. Browns 3/6/0 Plague 0/7/0

Game 2: Cueto v Roark. Fowler tripled to lead off the game and C. Seager made it 2-0 with a dinger. The Plauge didn’t wait long to strike back as 4 of the first 5 batters reached against Cueto to put them up 3-2. They piled on 3 more runs in the 2nd as Wieters led off with a walk followed by a Hamilton single and a Santana touched ’em all. The Sharts got single runs in the 3rd, 6th and 9th but squandered many chances in a 6-5 loss. Plague 6/9/0 Browns 5/11/1

Game 3: Tillman v Sanchez. The Browns loaded the bases in the bottom of the 1st but couldn’t score. With 2 outs in the top of the 2nd the Plague got 3 straight singles followed by a Salvy Perez error. By the time the inning was over the Plague scored 4 runs (3 unearned). The Browns threatened against Sanchez but hit into 3 double plays to kill each chance. Cameron Maybin finally delivered two runs with a bases loaded single in the 8th, but that was all the scoring the Browns could muster. Tillman was a hard luck loser and the Browns lost back-to-back games for only the second time all season. Plague 4/7/1 Browns 2/6/1

Game 4: Lester v Fernandez. The Browns took an early 2-0 lead on a Dozier RBI single followed by a K. Seager triple. New Brown Jon Lester was cruising and looked like a sure winner when the Browns got an error-aided big inning of their own in the 5th. Tulo reached on an E3, Fowler doubled and Maybin drove them both in with a single. After a Dozier 2-out single K. Seager made it 6-0 with a single. Lester was still chugging along until the 7th when The Plague got 2 singles and 2 doubles to cut the lead to 6-3. For some unknown reason the Browns let Lester answer the bell in the 8th and with 2 outs he surrendered a solo shot to Goldy to make it 6-4. Dozier homered leading off the bottom of the 8th to push the lead back to 3 and Pedro Strop worked the 9th to earn the save. Browns 7/8/0 Plague 4/7/2

Notes:

The Browns slashed .244/.314/.417 while pitching to a 2.83 ERA. The pen was scoreless in 6 2/3 innings.

Dexter Fowler reached leading off all 4 games via 3 walks and a triple. He was 3-11 with 8 walks in the series.

K. Seager started the series 0 for his first 9 before getting a triple, double and single in game 4. With a shot at the Cycle he struck out in the 8th.

The Browns had 4 triples in the series and now have 12 on the season which is 2 more than they had all of 2016.

After making trades to improve defense the Browns had a season low 2 errors in the series.

Shartlesville Browns vs. Speakers

Leave a comment

Here’s a recap of the Browns v Speakers from yesterday:

Game 1: Cueto v Martinez. The Browns got to work off Martinez in the 2nd recording 7 hits in the inning. With one out the lower part of the order spit out 5 straight hits, including a bases clearing 2B from Harper. The damage was limited to just 5 runs, however, when Dozier, the inning’s 9th batter, singled to center and Kyle Seager was cut down at the plate. Those runs were all Cueto needed to secure the victory as he scattered 7 hits and a walk over 9 shutout innings. Browns 8/12/0 Speakers 0/7/0

Game 2: Arrieta v Taillion. Jameson Taillion received a rude welcome to the OOTL in the form of a 3 run dinger off the bat of Rougned Odor in the 2nd. Gonzalez pushed the Speakers lead to 4-0 with a solo shot in the 3rd. But Jake Arrieta’s only shaky inning let the Browns back into the game. Cabrera and Harper, perhaps spurned on by recent trade rumors surrounding each of them, led off the 5th with walks. Salvy Perez then got his once-a-series 66 for a 3 run bomb. Fowler then doubled and came in to score on an error by shortstop Machado to tie it up. Manny made amends for the error by roping a homer in the top of the 6th off Taillion who the Sharts inexplicably sent back to the mound rather than going the pen. The Speakers loaded the bases in the 9th but couldn’t get an insurance run. In the bottom of the 9th T. Turner led off with a single, stole 2nd and was moved to 3rd on a ground out from Miggy. Harper lifted a ball to left. When Turner tried to tag from 3rd he was axed at home by Gonzalez to end the game. Speakers 5/9/1 Browns 4/4/0

Game 3: Hammel v Hellickson. The Browns fashioned a 3-0 lead using a 2-out HR from Turner in the 2nd, a 2-out RBI single from Fowler in the 5th and, you guessed it, a 2-out RBI single from Cabrera in the 6th. Until that point the Speakers had base runners on in just about every inning but couldn’t cash in against Hammel. They got to him in the 6th as Rizzo led off with a walk, Bryant singled and Gonzalez doubled in their first run. Machado flew out to shallow left to bring up Kinsler. He singled and Bryant waltzed home but Gonzalez was cut down at home by Fowler’s throw. The Browns got an unearned run (also with 2 out) in the 7th to make it 4-2. The lead blew out to 9-3 behind a Fowler 2-run 3B and a Dozier RBI single, both with two outs in the 8th, followed in the 9th by a Harper 2-run homer… say it with me: with 2 outs. Browns 9/12/2 Speakers 3/8/1

Game 4: Tillman v Price. The Speakers struck first with an unearned run via a Bryant 2-out RBI single in the 1st. Sean Rodriguez leveled it up at 1 with a solo HR in the 2nd and the Browns pushed ahead with a C. Seager RBI double in the 4th. The Browns looked to put the game away in the top of the 5th when they loaded the bases with none out through walks to Tomlinson and Abreu with Guyer reaching on another Machado error in-between. Dozier hit a ball to medium center and Tomlinson was thrown out at home. Then, with 2 outs, Cabrera delivered a hit (on the rare play board), but this time it was Guyer who was thrown out by Bryant from RF. In the bottom of the 5th Rizzo got a 2-out double and Machado once again followed an error with a dinger. His 2-run shot put the Speakers in front, 3-2. The Browns did tie it in the top of the 8th when C. Seager singled in Dozier, who had doubled to lead off the inning. But the shaky Browns pen couldn’t hold the tie. Tony Watson issued a 1-out walk to Bryant before striking out Odor. The Browns summoned Nate Jones to try and get the 3rd out, but he gave up a 2-out, 2-run shot to Kinsler. Speakers 5/9/1 Browns 3/8/2

The Browns are now 16-8 and head to Hustontown to face a murderers row of starting pitching on Monday. This is almost certainly the Sharts’ last day in 1st place.

Notes:

The Browns slashed .265/.346/.471 in the series.

Dexter Fowler had hits in 5 straight AB’s from Game 3 to game 4 of the series and has now reached base safely in his last 17 games as well as 18 out of 19 overall.

Hairpin went 4-11 in 3 games including a homer, 3 doubles and 2 walks. He is still hitting below .200 for the season, however.

Cueto’s complete game shutout was the 3rd for the Sharts in ’17. They had 2 in all of ’16.

The Browns are now 11-5 in games started by RHP and 5-3 vs left handed starters.
