effective, surrendering 3 runs in 2 and 1/3 innings.

5/28 – Tweeners 4, Goofs 2 (12 inn.).  deGrom vs. Felix lived up to the billing, but neither were around for the decision.  The score was knotted at 2 after nine innings.  NORM ended up winning it in

the 12th inning.  Stephen Vogt got things going when he smacked a single.

Chris Colabello followed and he blasted a two-run home run resulting in a

mighty exciting win for NORM and the 48,868 home town fans in attendance.

Dalier Hinojosa(1-0) allowed no runs in 1 and 1/3 innings, and picked up the

his ERA from 3.08 to 2.76.  Carson Smith earned the save with a perfect

ninth, his 7th save.  Nolan Arenado went deep for the 16^th time.

SUPER GOOFS topped the NORM TWEENERS by a score of 8 to 6 at The Hoover

at their team's expense.  He lost the ball over the fence for three runs in

the 1st inning and cracked a solo homerun in the 3rd inning.  Masahiro

Tanaka(1-3) got help from Koji Uehara who pitched a perfect ninth and was

credited with his 4th save.

his 7 innings.  Duda, Arenado, gomes, and Pillar also took advantage of the closer fences in the renovated and venerated Hooverdome.

9/10 – Tweeners 3, Goofs 0.  Sonny Gray again led the way for the combined shutout.  Homers by  Andre Ethier and Stephen Vogt provided the necessary offense.

NORM took the lead for keeps in the 3rd inning scoring one runner.  That early

scoring was all that Sonny Gray(6-3) needed.  The PHIL -SG offense proved no

trouble in the 9th. 

Andrew Chafin got the save, his 3rd.  Chris Heston(0-4) was the losing

pitcher.  He surrendered 2 runs and 5 hits in 5 innings.

9/11 #1 – Goofs 8, Tweeners 0.  In part one of the twin bill, it was a laugher out at The Hoover Dome.  The PHIL -SG SUPER GOOFS squad

ripped NORM pitching for a total of 8 runs.  Jacob Degrom(3-1), with relief

help from Koji Uehara, whitewashed NORM.

Degrom gave PHIL -SG a solid outing.  He surrendered 6 hits and no walks in 7

innings seeing his ERA drop from 1.76 to 1.43.  PHIL -SG had a total of 9

hits for the game, with big flies from Duda and Pierzynski.

PHIL -SG SUPER GOOFS 8 to 6 at The Hoover Dome.  The home team also used Earl Weaver Specials by Cozart, Vogt, and Arenado in overcoming an early 5 run deficit.

Dalier Hinojosa(2-0) did a nice job in relief and was credited with the win.

He allowed no hits and 1 walk in 1 inning.  NORM had 15 hits for the night

while PHIL -SG had 10. 

Hinojosa was helped out by Carson Smith who recorded his 8th save.  The loss

Killer Bees 2, DVs 1

Bees 2 and 1 vs DVs at home. 

FFTs 6, Killer Bees 4

FFTs take 3 of 5 at the Hive and 3 of 5 at home.

Wahoos 4, Warpigs 0

Wahoos sweep 4 at Warpigs.

Game 1 - Wahoos win 6-0. Jerad Eickhoff allowed a 1st inning single, and that was the only hit the Pigs would get.

Game 2 - Wahoos win 6-1. When you go from being 1-hit to facing Jake Arrieta in a pitcher's park, nothing good can happen. Especially when you surrender a BP (1-2) grand slam. Everything is going the Wahoos' way.

Game 3 - Wahoos win 4-3 in 19 fucking innings. There's gonna be some ugly batting stats from this series. Despite the loss, the Warpig hurlers struck out 22 while walking only 2.

Game 4 - Wahoos win 2-0. Still no action in the Pig dice. But hey, we turned 5 double plays. So there's that.

Transaction

The Warpigs traded their 2017 4th round pick to the Nads for a reserve pick.

Sidewinders 3, Zaps 2

Game 1-Nick Hundley started the scoring in the top of the second when he 
blasted a shot deep into the left field stands. Rendon walked to open 
the third and then Starling Marte allowed a two base single and an error 
on a x-chart chance to tie the game. The Snakeman refused to bring in 
the infield to score Russell Martin from third to put the good guys 
ahead. Ortiz and Belt hit back-to-back two out doubles in the sixth to 
tie it up. Rondon came on to face lefties and a backwards righty and got 
creamed giving up two runs in the eighth. Wade Davis came on for a 
two-inning save.

Game 2-A single, double, and sac fly put the Zaps ahead 1-0 after two 
innings. In the third Bautista walked and scored on a 1-12 chance on 
Dickerson’s double. In the seventh, Cutch singled and D’Arnaud’s pinch 
hit single sent Andrew to third and weaken Chapman. Allen promptly gave 
up a double to Machado scoring Cuthc, and a two-run single to Moreland 
that put the good guys ahead 5-0. All the while Hamels spun a one-hitter 
through seven. Giles came in after a Gregorius single in the eighth and 
nailed down the last five outs for the home team combined shut out.

Game 3-Bautista tripled and Piscotty drove him in with a ground out in 
the first. Gregorius hit a solo shot in the sixth to tie the game. The 
Snakes used two singles, a walk, and a ground out to score two runs in 
the eighth. Martin and Moreland hit back-to-back taters off Miller and 
Davis in the bottom of the frame to tie it up. Machado’s two-out dinger 
off Wade in the bottom of the ninth gave the good guys a stunning 4-3 
triumph.

Game 4-Bautista turned an Ortiz flyball into a double, and Brantley’s 
single made the Zaps pay in the top of the fourth as the out of towners 
took a 1-0 lead. Bautista blasted an Earl Weaver special followed an out 
later by Piscotty’s solo tater to put the good guys back on top 4-1 
after five. Some really shaking fielding by Blanco at short set the 
table for Hundley’s three-run shot to put the Snakes in front 5-4 in the 
top of the sixth. Goldie’s bases empty swat knotted the score after 
eight. Miller and Davis walked the bases full in the home half of the 
night, but a ground set the stage for Rendon to miss a ballpark chance 
at a granny  to end the threat. Belt scored from first on a 1-12 chance 
after a double by Brantley. After Chapman gave up a triple and a walk 
Kimbrel got the save in the 13 inning thriller.

Game 5- Two walks and two singles plated a pair for the Snakes in the 
first. Aaron Altherr’s two run tater in the bottom of the frame knotted 
the score. The Snakes used three singles and a walk to go ahead 4-2 in 
the fourth. In the bottom half of the frame Goldie doubled and 
Piscotty’s single drove him in and got the good guys within one. With 
two-out in the seventh, Cutch hit a double and Altherr scored him on a 
single rare play where he slipped round first and Brantley threw him out 
trying to get back to the bag from leftfield. The game was tied through 
the 14th inning when Franklin Gutierrez doubled and with two outs 
Longorie doubled him in.

Killer Bees 3, DVs 2

Bees get hot at the right times and DVs learn that resting the starters to avoid overusage concerns  (Stanton records 0 ABs in the series) isn’t a way to stay in contention. Here is the summary:

Game 1 – Bees win 7-5 as Freeman hits 2 home runs and drives in all 7. One would think we could find the “IBB” button somewhere around here…

Game 2 – TheBaldOne Jimenez twirls a 4 hit shutout as the Bees win 4-0

Game 3 – DVs are down 6-1 in the 5^th, only to rally against the soft underbelly of the Bees bullpen and go on to win 8-7

Game 4 – Pujols has 3 hits and McCann and Seager hit home runs as the DVs win 5-3

Game 5  - Bees score 6 in the 8^th against a hapless John “Let me introduce you to my homely” Niese and win going away- 11-5.

Mavs 4, Goofs 1

5/13  The SuperGoofs come to the Rastadome with Tanaka taking the hill against Odorizzi.  It is Disney day at the ballpark in honor of the Goofs visit and posters of Miley Cyrus and Britney Spears are being handed out to the first ten thousand boys under 18.  The Mavs jump on top as Bernice Brewer comes down the slide in her Daisy Duke outfit for Chris Davis’s 21^st tater in the bottom of the second.  ARod follows with a double and Jackie Fucking Bradley sends Bernice back down the slide with a tater.  Wong gets a two-bagger and the Goofs go to the pen in the bottom of the second bringing in Benoit.  Harper greets Benoit with a triple bringing home Bradley and the Goofs manager Goofy looks behind the bubble gum to find his bottle of Suaza Conmemorotivo (a standard Mav perq for the visiting manager).  Mavs 4-0 going to the top of the third.  Meanwhile the Goofs come back with four of their own in the top of the fourth and Mav manager Jeb Bush looks for his hydrocodone.  Third Goofs pitcher Houston Street gives up a two run homer to Danny Valencia in the bottom of the fifth.  JFB sends Bernice back down the slide and knocks Street out of the game in the bottom of the sixth with another tater.  Brad Miller sends Bernice back down the slide in the bottom of the seventh with a homer off of the Goofs fourth pitcher Drew Storen.  Mavs bullpen throws 3 2/3 innings of 1 hit ball.  The Grumpy’s Bail Bonds Player of the Game is JFB who hits two homers and drives in three runs.  Mavs 8 Goofs 4.

 

5/14 Jacob DeGrom brings his nasty looking card in to face Jason Hammel (whose card looks looks much more mortal than DeGrom).  It is Hispanic Heritage night for Los Mavs.  Unfortunately the city fathers built a wall around the stadium and the fans are having a hard time getting in.  The Mavs strike first as Harper sends Bernice Brewer down the slide in her Daisy Dukes in the bottom of the first.  Maybin and Choo homer in the top of the third.  Goofs 2 Mavs 1 and DeGrom on the hill.  Jeb is in the hydrocodone early today.  In the bottom of the seventh ARod sends Bernice down the slide in her Daisy Dukes – Goofs 2 Mavs 2 into extra innings we go.  10^th inning – no one scores.  11^th inning – no one scores.  12^th inning – Valencia sends Bernice down the slide with a ballpark homer off of Benoit who had thrown 3 2/3 of one hit ball until then.  The Betty’s Brothel Blow of the Game goes to Valencia for his 9^th tater.  Mavs 3 Goofs 2 in 12.

 

5/15 Charlton Heston vs Clay Buchholz in Right to Bear Arms night – toy Glocks handed out to all kids under 14.  A two base error by Harper leads to two runs in the top of the first.  You can hear the Glocks being cocked as Harper comes to the plate in the bottom of the first.  Brad Miller sends Bernice down the slide and eases the tense atmosphere in the bottom of the third.  The Goofs explode for four runs in the top of the fourth and add another in the top of the fifth as they spit roast Buchholz.  ARod hits his 19^th homer in the bottom of the fifth and the Mavs add two more in the bottom of the sixth.  Goofs 7 Mavs 4 heading to the top of the seventh.  In the bottom of the seventh Heyward sends Bernice down the slide with a homer off of the ever present Benoit.  Bottom of the eighth ARod sends Bernice down the slide with a homer off of Morales.  Goofs 7 Mavs 6.  The Goofs tack on an insurance run with a Choo single in the top of the ninth.  In comes Koji Uehara.  After Heyward goes on a grounder, Upton singles, Harper walks and Valencia sends Bernice down the slide with a 2-5 homer 1-12 (rolling 11) to win both the game and the Betty’s Brothel Blow of the Game.  Mavs 9 Goofs 8.

 

8/6 Tanaka vs. Jake Odorizzi.  Cam Maybin hits a homer 1-3 fly to start the scoring off in the top of the first and misses the exact same roll with a runner on in the second.  The Goofs score a run in each of the first three frames to make a tidy looking linescore.  Not to be outdone, the Mavs put up three zeroes.  The Mavs finally shut out the Goofs for an inning in the fourth and Davis doubles in a run 3-1 Goofs going to the fifth.  The Mavs bring in Justin Wilson because you have to pitch him eventually and he gives up a three run homer to Duda in the seventh.  The Goofs triumph 6-1.  Lucas Duda is the Grumpy’s Bail Bonds Player of the Game.  By the way, get your Grumpy’s calendar right here featuring a picture of the Mavs ball girl: http://grumpysbailbonds.com/calendar.php.

 

8/7 DeGrom  vs. Jessica Hahn.  Can the Mavs beat that card twice?  Well in the sixth we finally got our first hit on a Ramirez X chance.  Heyward followed sending Bernice down the slide in her Daisy Dukes and tied the game up despite the Goofs badly outplaying the Mavs.  The Mavs go to the pen in the seventh while DeGrom has fanned eleven Mavs in the first seven innings.  Nonetheless Goofy brings in the ubiquitous Joaquin Benoit to pitch the eighth.  He mows down the Mavs.  Britton mows down the Goofs.  The Mavs strand a runner at third in the ninth and tenth but Heyward sends Bernice down the slide in her Daisy Dukes and walk off in the eleventh.  Mavs 3-2 in eleven.  Heyward’s to homers earn him the Grumpy’s Bail Bonds Player of the Game.

4/21 - Pigs win 8-5. Jarrett Parker brought in the go-ahead run in the top of the 9th with a sacrifice fly. The Pigs led 5-3 going into the bottom of the 8th, but Josh Reddick pinch hit a 2-run homer off of Antonio Bastardo to tie the game. In the top of the 9th, singles by Yadier Molina and Ian Kinsler put runners at the corners with nobody out. Parker brought Molina home with the sac fly, but the Pigs weren't done. A.J. Pollock doubled, and Jake Peavy came in to squeeze another run home. He managed to beat the bunt out for a single. Andrelton Simmons then scored Pollock with another sac fly. Pedro Strop (2-1) got the win in relief. Drew Pomeranz did what Bastardo could not and got Reddick out to earn his 1st save of the year. Danny Duffy (0-7) took the loss.
