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.

What is it this year about turning the opposing pitchers into power hitters? Maybe he’ll run out of steam on the basepath.

Get someone up….Lilly is tiring

Looks like Ted’s reached his limit.

Looks like Lilly was cruising, then I come home and turn on the TV and it starts to fall apart…

Soo glad to be wrong! — Great start for Ted!
foul tip
When Lilly told the Dodgers he was ready to pitch, he seems to have been right…at least tonight.
Jeffrey Thomas III
That looked out!
Edit: Yup. Kemp’s first home run! Off Matt Harvey no less!

Matt! #1!

Gameday makes Kemp’s HR look like it’s 500 feet long…

Matty Kemp! So happy for him!

Let’s hear it for replay!

And now that that first one is out of the way, let’s hope that Matt replays the HR trot MANY times the rest of the season!
KT
Come on Double Play

Okay, Howell. Settle down.

Biggest thing is to get Harvey out of there and get to the bullpen.

What he said!

Kemp HR means Fernando Valenzuela remains only pitcher since 1960 win first 5 starts with at least 7 IP, 1 R or none
Anonymous
Never easy with this crew…
Linkmeister
Gameday called Kemp’s HR immediately, but then in the video it shows the umps had to go look at the tape. Huh.
KT
I knew it was a Hr right away

Liked this stat by ESPN on Twitter: Matt Kemp is the first player with at least 3 RBI in a game against Matt Harvey
KT
That’s 1 Kenley…2 more

Thought Carl had a shot at that one

Someone has to tell the hitters they’re facing the weakest bullpen.

Carl is slumping the last few games.
Linkmeister
I have a lousy feeling about this. Our bullpen gets weaker as the game gets longer.
Jeffrey Thomas III
Hey this guy is hitting .164… let’s walk him on four pitches.
Jeffrey Thomas III
That sucks.

and that is that

Well, that was pretty definitive.

A League with the blown . . . then they hit the Wall.
Meanwhile, the offense goes back into hibernation.
BUT . . . Lilly, Belli, and Matt!
Jeffrey Thomas III
To get to Harvey and be one out away from a win only to lose like that, is disappointing to say the least.
Anonymous
When it’s lost by the bullpen, it’s such a reminder it’s a team game.
Anonymous
true, we also only had 4 hits as well

Like the Padres, the Mets look better against The Evil Empire West than they do on paper.
Anonymous
Unfortunately, that IS a talent the Dodgers have.
But hopefully they can get rid of that trait.

I need me a Jon Weisman thoughtful, engaging postmortem NPUT perspective to put into words how i feel about this one.

The minute Lyons started going on and on in the 8th about how Dodger fans could relax with a one run lead because of our bullpen, I figured it was just a matter of time. Superstitious? I think not!
Jeffrey Thomas III
The Lyons curse.

Fantastic game. Lilly was great, so it makes me feel good about his prospects: a 1-2-3 first inning and his tough situations in innings 2-4 were all 2 out scenarios, so likely to remain harmless (as they did). And when he got into a jam in the fifth, against the heart of the order, he competed and got out pretty unscathed.
Kemp broke the seal on the HR, and had 3 RBI, and all off a pitcher who is really cruising this year. It’s starting to feel like the old Matt Kemp is back (or at least will be soon), and with Hanley almost ready, the whole offense should start clicking. We did not leave many runners on base, so that’s a nice change. Good showing by Belli, and the bullpen was great in the first 8 2/3 innings. I turned it off with two outs in the ninth, and THAT is how I choose to remember this game.
It ended after 8 2/3 innings. Do not try to tell me otherwise.
