The Plague vs. Speakers

Leave a comment

Last year’s championship contenders continued their rivalry in mid-May.

Game 1 – Each team uses 3 pitchers in the final inning to decide this close contest. Kris Bryant gets the Speakers on the board early with a 1st inning RBI ground out and a 3rd inning 2-run HR (his first of the season!). During both innings, Mookie Betts (3-4, 3-D, 3-R) scores.

The Plague score candlesticks in the 4th and 6th on ground ball RBIs by Francisco Lindor and Paul Goldschmidt. The Speakers answer in the 6th as Carlos Gonzalez legs out a lead off double. Bryant grounds to 2nd and Anthony Rizzo lifts a sac fly to center for a 4-2 lead.

In the bottom of the 8th, Betts doubles with 1 out to chase starter Tanner Roark. Lefty Kyle Ryan faces pinch hitter Yoenis Cespedes. Cespy singles home Betts. After Bryant lines out to 3rd, Rizzo doubles home Cespedes (turned back HR) to chase Ryan.

With a 6-2 lead, Carlos Martinez starts the 9th, but quickly finds himself pitching from the stretch. Lindor singles. Goldy grounds out. Max Kepler gets those 2 runs back with a 2-run home run.

Pinch hitter Alcides Escobar reaches 2nd on a Rizzo error. Jeremy Jeffress comes in and walks Alex Bregman, which puts the tying run on base. Billy Hamilton hits a fly ball to center (a turned back hit). Escobar tags and takes 3rd.

Enter Joe Blanton to face Carlos Santana representing the go-ahead run. Blanton gets Santana to chase strike 3 to end the game, 6-4.

W – C. Martinez (3-1); L – Roark; S – Blanton (2)

Game 2 – Aaron Sanchez is the star of the game, hurling a CG, 5-0 victory, and allowing just 4 singles.

The Plague score in the 2nd on Matt Wieters’ 2-out 2-run double. Jason Kipnis connects with a 2-run blast in the 3rd. Bregman triples home Wieters with the exclamation point in the 4th.

This marks Jake Arrieta’s first clunker of the year (11 H, 5 ER, HR). The shutout marks the 5th of the season (in 22 games) suffered by the Speakers, who never touch 3rd base.

W – A. Sanchez; L – Arrieta (4-1)

Game 3 – Another Speakers’ scoreless streak climbs to 18 innings as Marco Estrada pitches another 4-hit CG shutout. If you’re counting, that’s 6 times the Speakers have been blanked in 23 games.

Early RBI singles by Goldschmidt and Lindor are all that’s needed for The Plague to pocket a 2-0 win. Jeremy Hellickson scatters 8 hits and allows just 1 ER in the tough luck loss.

W – Estrada; L – Hellickson (3-3)

Game 4 – In a carbon copy of Game 3’s 1st inning, a Speaker error and Goldy RBI single give The Plague the early lead. Joe Ross battles to keep the margin to 1 run, (which would have been enough the past two days).

Manny Machado finally snaps the Speakers’ 21-innings without scoring, blasting a 4th inning 2-run HR, his first of the season. After Wieters ties it up with a sac fly in the bottom half, the Speakers rope 3 doubles to score another pair in the 5th.

Santana homers to start the bottom half. The 4-3 nail biter goes quickly in the late innings. Only the Speakers offer a 9th inning threat: 2nd and 3rd with 1 out. Two pop ups leave the 1-run margin.

Blanton pitches a 1-2-3 9th to secure the 4-3 win and the series split.

W – Ross (1-1); L – Jose Fernandez; S – Blanton (3)

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.
