What happens when three old friends in crisis fall into an unexpected love triangle? In The Catch, Maya, Henry and Daniel embark upon an emotional journey that forces them to confront unresolved pain, present-day traumas and powerful desires, leading them to question the very meaning of love and fulfillment. The Catch tells a tale of ordinary people seeking the extraordinary – or, if that’s asking too much, some damn peace of mind.

The order is different, but I like it. Not a Loney or a Uribe in sight!

I don’t know what to make of it. More at bats for Ethier Kemp & Hanley, I guess.

And the Dodger with the 10-game hitting streak right now is…

That’s correct!
When he was batting in St. Louis with Tony Cruz as the Cardinal catcher, I dubbed it the “double cross”. :)

It’s his son, isn’t it?

you’re right

He is a fine announcer who is not the brother but the son of Marv Alpert. He is best known for hockey, basketball, and football work. The Albert men do look lke robots though.

They also sound very similar.

The announcer mentions that recently the Dodger defense hasn’t been that good. I hope he isn’t that surprised–did he notice who’s out there–the only infielder thought to be average is Mark Ellis.
Anonymous
Luis Cruz has actually been quite good. He just hasn’t been around long enough for anyone to notice.

Cruz is slightly above average at baseball-reference.com in fielding for his short time

Nice first inning, at both ends.

I wish Fox showed pitch counts more frequently. And I wish their camerawork was better. But at least it’s nice to watch without hearing Krukow and Kuiper today.

Letting that runner get to third was bush. (not that the Dodgers wouldn’t do it during their bad streak.

Absolutely. Even Melky could have thrown him out on that one.

They said it’s stopped raining in New York, but a quick check of the radar map shows more rain coming in from western Jersey. Good!

There aren’t any video highlights on Gameday. What’s up with that?
Jeffrey Thomas III
It’s a Fox thing, I believe. They’ll show up online later.

Example of defense. Loney would have had that, but it was hit so hard there should have been a play at second.
KT
Good play Hanley

Ahh, this is a Giant broadcast team I think. Oh, its Fox, so I’m not sure.

It’s Kenney Albert and Eric Karros

Thanx, but I’m less sure now!

I should be happy with a single, but when gameday makes you wait with a ‘in play, no out’ I’m hoping for so much more :)

Did Hanley run through a stop sign?

You couldn’t see wallach in any of the shots but he didn’t even look at him….He was watching belt the whole way as he was rounding third

The broadcasters implied that he scored on his own, was not waved home by Wallach.

they are bringing out the big guns at first base I see

Too bad they didn’t put him in right.

difficult catch for the last out?

Deep but too high and he was under it in plenty of time

I wasn’t referring to a specific play, just that Huff is a lot of fun to watch in right field.

Hooray! They’re not sending viewers to the Yankee-Red Sox game when it resumes, except in NY and Boston!

The things we don’t see. Gameday makes it seem so routine!

As noted above, video highlights apparently don’t become available on Gameday on games broadcast by Fox until after the game is over. I’m sure you’ll be able to see it after the game, either there (on Gameday/MLB) or on the official Dodgers.com part of MLB.

thanks for the visual

BTW, what happened in that catch was that Ethier went all the way back on the warning track and jumped high to snag the ball, while using his other hand to feel for where the fence was (it’s chain link there). I held my breath hoping that he wouldn’t hurt himself, but apparently he’s fine, no worries there.
KT
yea but they pulled him the next inning so maybe he’s sore

More proof that Ethier is an excellent outfielder.

Bills is awesome today. And he was pretty darn good in STL too. Nice to see him doing well again.
underdog
He is dealing. Gonna give him a standing O in my living room. :) What’s cheering is that this is two good starts in a row. Pitching well in St Louis is even more impressive, but this is great to see.

My Fox Channel just dumped the Dodger Game at the start of the Yankee/Red Sox game. But I wawsn’t surprised or caught, because Fox is already said by everyone to be the sleezeeist, mosts biased, oportunist outfit, although pretty run of the mill for broadcasters.
Anonymous
I’m guessing you’re in NY or Boston?
It could start raining again, and they could switch back…
But this game is now moving very fast.

I’m kinda happy AJ struck out (so Bills can keep pitching) (Donnie may have batted him regardless)

AJ has hit safely in 8 of his last 9 games.

in the one that he did not he PH for treanor in the 9th inning
still he is only 10 for 35 in those 9 games which raised his BA from 275 to 279. better than 0 for 35 of course.
