Speakers at Browns

Leave a comment

The Speakers came downtown to face the Browns yesterday.

Game 1: Tanaka v Martinez. The Browns got out to an early lead when Peraza was hit by a pitch leading off the game and came around to score on an Abreu 2-out RBI single. The advantage was pushed to 3-0 in the second when Belt and Calhoun walked and were plated on RBI singles (once again with 2 outs) by Reddick and Dozier. Dozier added a solo homer in the bottom of the 8th and Cargo got one back in the top of the 9th with a dinger of his own off Donnie Hart. Tanaka got the win, Martinez took a CG loss. Browns 4/7/0 Speakers 1/4/0

Game 2: Cueto v Price. The Speakers got right to work in the 1st as Cespedis doubled followed by a Rizzo double and a Machado single to make it 2-0. It could have been worse for the Browns since Cargo was picked off first prior to Cespedis’ double and Machado’s rolled a homer which was turned back. The Brown got the 2 runs right back in the bottom of the 1st as Maybin led off with a double and Guyer got hit. Abreu drove in Maybin with a single and Guyer came all the way around to score on a Cespedis error. Then the bats went quiet as both teams combined for 3 hits over the next 4 1/2 innings. The Sharts got the next run with some small ball in the 6th. Ramirez worked a 1-out walk and moved to 3rd on Seager’s hit-and-run single. Belt brought Ramirez in with ground out to make it 3-2. Cueto improves to 4-5 while Price went the distance in the loss. Nate Jones got 5 outs for his 3rd save. Browns 3/5/1 Speakers 2/5/1

Game 3: Montgomery v Hellickson. The Speakers opened the scoring once again with a C. Young RBI single plating R. Davis in the 1st. Jose Ramirez got a gifted HR (vs a -12) in the 2nd and Reddick socked a solo shot in the 3rd to put the Sharts up 2-1. Cespedis doubled in the 4th and came around to score on a Seager error one batter later to tie things up at 2. The Browns pulled away with a Seager two-run double in the 5th and two more runs thanks to doubles from Dozier and Belt with a Ramirez triple sandwiched in between in the 7th. Montgomery (3-1) was the winner while Hellickson took the loss. Browns 6/12/1 Speakers 2/3/1

Notes:
Shartlesville slashed .261/.353/.435 in the series and batted .276 with 2 outs and .292 with RISP.

The Browns are now 17-13 in games started by right handers and 9-12 against southpaw starters.

A. Recker grounded out with the bases loaded in the 5th inning of game 3. The Browns are now 7-24 (.292/.333/.542) with the bases loaded including a HR, 2B and a 3B along with a walk, a HBP and 2 Sac Flies.

Juggs at wahoos, game one carasco vs strasburg, wahoos win easily 11-3 , with a lot of help from juggs trumbo who commits 2 errors of the juggs four errors all costly , in addition trumbo rolls fielding 3 on RP board and gives up a RBI triple to Crawford who also scores. Top of first Strasburg turns back a votto homerun with only a +14 , omen of that game . Game 2 juggs come back and win 5-1 , springer, Orlando and schoop all have solo shots. The latter two back to back with 3 straight rolls of 66s. Duke gets win in relief. Game 3 is one for the record books. Wahoos score 1 in the bottom of 4th Estonia double scores matte after he stole second , in the 5th juggs take lead with Kyle seager 2 run homer his 3rd for juggs already, bottom of 9th Harris comes in for a 123 inning and win for juggs , BUT wait juggs are waved off the field after celebrating manager forgot to mark the score sheet with the wahooos RBI sac fly by arenado the game is actually tied 2-2 wth lol,EXTRA innings , 28 to be exact yes 28 innings !!!! Rodriguez gets the win and wood gets the loss after he pitches 12.1 innings.eaton finally hits a two run homer for wahoos win . It was a crazy game with all kinds of missed scoring opportunities, votto who is a G34 was caught stealing second twice along with two others as the wahoos threw out 4 of 5 base stealers and picked off hermmann on 3rd on an attempted squeeze play in the 19th .I am going to do a complete breakdown of the game later or if I figure it out just send pics of the score sheets lol.
