Game 117, 2015

Posted on by

Reds at Dodgers, 6:10PM PT, TV: SPNLA

I don’t know why the early start time, but there it is. Tune in an hour ahead of the usual, folks.

The Dodgers will face a lefty for the second day in a row as the Reds send out David Holmberg, who’s 1-1 with a 3.06 ERA this season (3-3, 4.38 in his short career). Brett Anderson will be his opponent. He is coming off one of his worst outings all year: he gave up ten hits, seven runs and three walks to the Nats on Monday. For the season, though, Anderson is 6-7 with a 3.43 ERA. He hasn’t gotten much run support recently: the Dodgers have scored all of 16 runs in his last six starts.

Lineup when available.

  2. Today in Dodger trivia, so to speak:

    Hernández
    “Kiké is the first Dodger who had played multiple infield and outfield positions with the club to break a second inning tie with the first 3-run home run of his major league career in a home victory against the Reds during which multiple teammates also homered to power a starter to his seventh win in his first year with the Dodgers since Tommy Buckshot Brown on 15 July 1949. Rookie Don Newcombe was the winner in that game with Hall-of-Famers Jackie Robinson and Roy Campanella also contributing home runs.” by GWilson Aug 15, 2015 9:07 PM

  3. Just realized that the last 2 weddings I have been to, the Dodgers have won by a combined score of 25-3. 17-0 last Sept vs the Giants plus tonight’s 8-3 victory. Apparently I need to go to more weddings.

  4. Peevy implodes in the sixth, but Gnats still lead Nats 9-5 with two out and a runner on third.

  9. While CC had some great years with the Rays, his OPS+ in his three years with the Dodgers is higher than that of his 9 years with TB (He is well paid).

  16. Apparently, this is one of the nights they show a film after the game – “Back to the Future,” I believe. Hope it doesn’t go 20 innings.

  17. Reply to Link, LAT’d, re GWilson…

    Couple more I had saved:

    From Dre’s recent 2 HR game–
    ” Andre is the first corner outfielder to lead the Dodgers to their fourth straight win following a shutout loss at home by twice breaking ties with home runs from the cleanup spot since the great Jackie Robinson on 17 July 1953.” by GWilson Aug 3, 2015 | 1:40 AM
    ==========================
    Puig and Anderson
    ” The last time that a Dodger starter was staked to a lead with a 3-run home run with two outs in the visiting first and proceeded to earn a victory, after the club had lost his previous two starts, by allowing only a third-inning run over a six-inning effort in a game in which the Dodgers scored their fourth and final run in the fifth after their switch-hitting leadoff man reached to start the frame was 16 July 1956. Gil Hodges supplied the big home run in that game with Roger Craig getting the win.” by GWilson Aug 5, 2015 | 7:30 PM
    ==========================
    When it counts most
    “Dodger left-handers have allowed .436/.489/.564 against their 47 left-handed batters faced in the seventh or later in high-leverage in 2015. The other 29 teams have allowed a combined .229/.307/.323 for this split. ” by GWilson Aug 10, 2015 | 12:06 PM

    Last one might account for some pen struggles in a way no one else has noticed.

    May have more but maybe approaching the eyes-glazed-over level.
