Dodgers at Padres, 7:10PM PT, TV: SPNLA, FSSD
Yo, Rook! Pitch tonight, you will!
The Dodgers send young Jose De Leon (2-0, 5.52 ERA) to the hill to face fellow rookie Luis Perdomo (8-10, 5.59 ERA). De Leon’s first two starts were good, but his last was forgettable: he gave up six runs over 3 2/3 innings to the D-Backs on Sept. 18. Perdomo has been a very pleasant surprise for the Padres in the second half of the season: he’s had a 3.79 ERA from August on, although his W-L record is an unhappy 3-6 over those two months.
Puig has feasted on Perdomo to the tune of a .714 BA (5-for-7) with a triple, four runs and three RBIs.
Lineup when available.
Tonight's Dodger lineup:
Utley 2B
Kendrick 3B
Seager SS
González 1B
Grandal C
Reddick RF
Toles LF
Pederson CF

The Gnats have still not made a ninth-inning comeback the entire year, but that was not the real highlight, according to Grant: https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/b953ea73798d61f78f7110b897411163db65a3642128115c4abf1ee4c9d4b2cb.png
Bud Norris has been released, snapping his galluses as he goes.
Pads beat the Giants for us, so I guess this is fair enough.
At least the Nats lost too. Still an outside chance at HFA.
And really it was Dodgers 5, Pads 2 – and Renfroe 4.
I’m still recovering from the intense emotions on Sunday. Maybe they are, too?
Sure hope it’s something like that.
Hope Toles didn’t hurt his hammy. He was grabbing at it after his last at bat.
Oh, man, Ethier. Right down the middle.
He looked like someone who hasn’t played much, and wasn’t ready for it.
I know. Just watched it float by.
Breaking ball at 87, after a 96 mile hour fastball.
Meh.
Hope we pick it up tomorrow.
Hi all. 1, DeLeon not impressing tonight. 2. Why isn’t Puig in the lineup? 3. What’s with this kid Renfroe????? That is all I have for now. Time to exercise.
Rox take 1-0 lead over Gnats in the fourth.
It’s time for Renfroe to provide a urine sample, I think.
I bet those people on top of that building never thought they were going to get a souvenir.
JDL is not sharp tonight. He’s taken himself out of contention for this post-season, I think.
I don’t think he was his last start either.
Fast start for the Dodgers but they still can’t slow down Hunter Renfroe.
Don’t give up the two-run lead immediately, youngster.
You didn’t listen, son.
Ryu had elbow surgery, expected back for 2017.
So, I went back and found some of our preseason predictions. I found 5 of them – and at this exact moment any of the 5 could be correct. In fact, our 5 guesses define the limits of what record is possible for the Dodgers – between 90 to 95 wins.

My win – loss prediction for the year 90-72. Where that gets us is anyone’s guess.
Thoughts?

Being a pessimist, I’ll say 95-67.
Bumsrap • 6 months ago
I like 90.
Bob_Hendley • 6 months ago
91-71 has a nice ring to it and splits the difference.
WinnipegDave • 6 months ago
92-70 feels about right. 42 in the first half and 50 in the second.
Or something like that.
Casi la misma alineación que ayer (Kendrick en vez de Turner, y todavía sin Puig): https://twitter.com/alannarizzo/status/781258346347139072
