As you readied yourself for another flight to St. Louis, you sent this text at 10:09 central daylight: MileHighHotCut.
This is the fifth time Kershaw has been tabbed for the spotlight start. It is the second HotCut of the year for Tyler Chatwood. The game starts tonight at 19:40 cdt. No day games today. I am nervous with anticipation, though. I've got my cousin arriving any minute; then about forty-five minutes from now I'll leave to pick you and Jocelyn up at the airport.

We're flipping across games. Josh Tomlin, mound dipper. ... Kennys Vargas singles, first and second, top 4, two out. ... Garza goes 1-2-3, top 1, in Milwaukee against the Mets. Harvey is clean-shaven, sweating, and dipping. Thames, 7. Hernán Pérez singles. Shaw, 7, and Harvey is through the first. ... But it's 1-0 MIL, bottom 2, first and second, two out. Harvey had fielded a dribbler and went 1-5 for the second out, crucial. His control is off. Villar walks, bases loaded for Thames. Thames swings, barely, at a fastball up and in, and that's it. Thames is pissed, launches his bat, spikes his helmet, quite a show. Bottom three, the chaw is back in Harvey's lower lip. Hernán goes the other way, Bernie the Brewer slides down, 2-0 Brewers. Then an overthrow at 93, nearly over the catcher. Santana drops one into the 2B, CF, RF Bermuda Triangle. Harvey fans Broxton and is through three.

Kershaw with a curve that doesn't curve. B says he's moving slow. Two out, two on. LAD up 5-0, bottom two. He fans Garneau. ... Flash ahead one inning. Blackmon triples, LeMahieu drives him in. Arenado GIDP. Utley walks. I texted you saying he was 51. B said, "He's so old he looks like an ump in a Dodgers uniform." A phone labeled "replay". Kershaw: The Claw, Kid K, Minotaur. Another curve that spins high. Bryce: Bam-Bam, Mondo, or Harp. Desmond, 1-3. Most active wins versus any team? Felix with 23 wins versus Oakland. Kershaw has 19 wins against the Rockies. CarGo singles in Reynolds, it's 5-2. Shannon, on Cradio from the kitchen, with a home run tease. Cubs lead 2-0. Another home run tease, this time on a foul. Corey Seager singles. La Stella takes Cecil deep.
Blackmon singles. My cousin went to read before sleep. I've had just one beer, with dinner. 5-2 LAD, bottom five, one out. LeMahieu LO 4, DP 4-3. Ouch.
I've now seen Raimel Tapia for the first time. Lithe and idiosyncratic. I've never seen anyone tap their elbows together before. He was pinch-hitting. Blackmon bats in a newfound rain. It's 6-2 Dodgers, bottom 8. Bellinger added a solo shot as I stepped away. Avilan works to Blackmon. Wade Davis is close to closing out the Cardinals. Avilan fans Blackmon, gets lifted in favor of Pedro Báez. Grichuk walks. Wong, at bat, can tie it. He fans ... but Contreras didn't catch the pitch clean, had to throw to first where RiZzo didn't catch the throw. It isn't clear via Cradio if that went as an E-2 or an E-3. DJ is caught looking. Adams fans and Davis secures the save. Cubs win. Arenado is fouling off the Báez offerings. Now, he fans.
