Two Outs. Bases Loaded. Then Max Muncy Delivered the Moment Nobody Saw Coming

Two Outs. Bases Loaded. Then Max Muncy Delivered the Moment Nobody Saw Coming

I can’t get over that catch from Tommy Edmond. Oral,  fantastic. We saw the range to the left where Andy Pheads ended up catching the ball in the gap near the fence near the top of the wall. Well, he broke well to his right right there and that was wonderful. Took extra bases away from Starling Marte.

 Well, you got to do everything right. You got to break right. You got to run the perfect route. And then you got to time the jump and have soft hands. Fantastic.  Edmond on deck here in the bottom of the six. 3-2 Kansas City. Dodgers trying to take a step out of this recent funk. How many times does a guy make a great catch and then ends up second the next inning? One out of nine.

Well, one maybe one out of eight cuz of the DH.  Here comes the 2-2.  We’ll count for Freddy. One for two with an RBI base hit. Most recent trip to the plate. Nobody throwing for Kansas City in the pen with Cameron now at 85 pitches. Here’s 86. Now, this is a left-hander, as we talked about tonight. He’s been on a roll.

 He’s gone at least seven innings in three straight starts, and he’s allowed three or fewer runs, three or fewer hits, I beg your pardon, in each of them. Slices into left field for a leadoff knock. Put the tying run on base for the Dodgers. 35 of Freddy’s last 41 hits have been singles, but he’ll take this one in a two strike count left on left situation where he fights it off and finds some outfield grass.

 Now Tommy Edmund fast upstairs. is one and0. 0 for two so far tonight and four for his last 40. And the issue recently has been the fast ball. He’s not alone in that. He’s going ice cold against the hard stuff. I wouldn’t be surprised to see him stay inside the ball and block it over there right field of that hole.

 Oh, he’s trying.  Little lift and separate, but it looked like the attempt was to go to the opposite field.  Yeah, just out in front of it cuz it was off speed, but it looked like he was trying to keep his hands in and shove it through that hole. Square count for Edmond. The 2-2. Uh-oh. On the ground to Whit.

 64 in time for the double play. Second of the game. 101st of the season. Two outs and the bases now empty. A double play combination is really good.  They think maybe the foot was on the bag, not over the bag.  Los Angeles is challenging to out call at first base.  Yeah, he’s safe by a toe.  There should be a Quick watch in New York City.

 50,000 here. The  call the field is overturned. The runner is safe. Los Angeles will retain it.  Back to bets. Smooky one for two with the double. Tying run on first with Edmond, one out in the sixth. The curve drops in there for a strike. Mooki first several years as a Dodger, 2020 to 2025 at 282 against left-handed pitching.

 This year it’s been a buck 90 entering this series. One and one and the OPS has tumbled two. That mark in the first stretch of seasons 882 this year 551 against left-handers. Strike two. Green action. down swinging.

Two gone. It’s  the second strike out of the game for Cameron.  It’s one of his better breaking balls tonight because it wasn’t going to be inside for sure. It had the depth on the plate, not the sweeping action where he pulls it. So, it’s up to Miguel Rojos to continue the sixth. Strike one and a fast ball.

Dodgers trying to author another comeback. They’re trying to do it on the backs of their bullpen. That’s been outstanding. As we take a look at the Royals bullpen, John Shrivever just about ready. This will be pitch 100 from Noah Cameron on 2-1. Rojos takes outside. Ball three. Dodger bullpen give him four and two/3 of perfect innings.

 And the Dodgers couldn’t come back in the last game. But if they can repeat that performance, this offense trying to come back. That’s into the left center field gap for Rojos. Edmonds going to hop on his horse. He’ll be held at third. A two out double for Rojas to give Tay Oscar Hernandez a chance with a pair in scoring position.

Might be some time for this crowd to wind up a little bit more because I think there’s going to be a pitching change. Rojos knocking him off. Knocking it out of the box and out of the box. So that’s all for Noah Cameron. Five and two/3. The Dodgers at the tying run 90 ft away. The go-ahead run on second. We’ll be back in a moment.

 The line for Noah Cameron not yet complete cuz he’s on the hook for Tommy Edmond and Miguel Rohas. Runners on third and second respectively. The Dodgers trying to rally here in the bottom of the six. The right-hander John Shriber coming on for his 48th appearance and he’ll face a pinch hitter in Kyle Tucker.

 Started to swing the bat really well and he’s barreling up a lot more balls. Better swing decisions and a lot more pop  brings a sevengame hitting streak into this homestead. got the season average up to 244 and the OPS up to 727.  Two in scoring position, two outs in the six. 3-2 Kansas City.

 Shriber’s first pitch way outside. Kyle’s last 15 games and OPS over 1,000. He’d like to get a hit right here and raise that ops at Dodger Stadium cuz so far this year these home fans haven’t seen that much.  The 10 in there, catches the bottom of the zone and evens the count. OPS here at Dodger Stadium just over 600. The fifth worst home OPS in baseball.

and all those numbers in the past. His focus the here and now. A chance to give the Dodgers the lead. Jumps ahead two and one. Tucker tripled yesterday to continue a strong stretch. Not just these seven games with a hit, but the last 15 batting average about 300. Three balls in a strike. Maxy lurking on deck.

Triers 3-1 is low. Load him up. Max.  A Max Muny’s game seven home run bobblehead night with the bases loaded. Takes ball one inside. Facing their most trusted reliever, but not trusted against left-handers. Has dominated righties but not lefties. One and one. Monty tonight 0 for two with a strike out in a recent cold spell for Max, but he

is delivered with the bases loaded throughout his career. Slices strike two foul over the net. Since the All-Star break, four of his home runs have been big ones. Flip the scoreboard. Tribers one, two. MUNY RIPPED TO RIGHT. IT’S A FAIR BALL DOWN THE LINE. EDMOND IS IN. ROHAS TWO. TUCKER’S GOT A GREEN LIGHT. HE’S SAFE.

MAXY UNLOADS THE BASES AND GIVES THE DODGERS THE LEAD. It wasn’t a go-ahead home run for his fifth, but it was a go ahead triple. And it’s a sweet one on your bobblehead night. family in the suite throwing out the first pitch saying it’s time for Dodger baseball and Max said yes it is time for Dodger baseball chance work their way around Dodger Stadium he’s now on third for Hunter

Paduca Paduca to left hangs up for Collins But Max Muny delivers a bases clearing knock. 53 Dodgers. Let’s go to the seventh.
