Dodgers at Giants, 7:15 PM PDT, TV: Apple TV+
The Dodgers give the ball to RHP Dustin May (1-2, 4.29 ERA) tonight. He’ll face the Giants’ Logan Webb (13-8, 2.88 ERA).
On this day in Dodgers’ history:
- 1924 Cardinal first baseman Sunny Jim Bottomley goes 6-for-6, including two homers, and bats in a record twelve runs when the team beats the Dodgers at Ebbets Field, 17-3. The previous mark of 11 RBIs in one game was established in 1892 by today’s opposing Dodger manager, Wilbert Robinson.
- 1976 In the 11th inning at Veterans Stadium, Rick Joseph hits a walk-off grand slam in the Phillies’ 8-4 victory over the Dodgers. Two batters are walked intentionally by Ron Perranoski to face the weak hitting Philadelphia pinch hitter, who responds with his first career home run, which will be his only round-tripper this season.
- 1988 The Reds’ Tom Browning pitches a perfect game against the Dodgers, striking out eight and allowing only eight balls to be hit out of the infield in his 1-0 victory. Over three starts, including the perfect game, he retires 40 consecutive batters – one shy of a major league record.
On September 16, 1993 Dave Winfield got his 3000th hit. In 1996 Paul Molitor did the same. And in 2005 Youppi!, who got his start at Olympic Stadium, is named as the first official mascot of the Montreal Canadiens, becoming the first to ever switch from Major League Baseball to the NHL. The acquisition, reportedly at the cost of six figures, is made possible when the Expos leave the hairy orange arm-waving giant behind in favor of an eagle called “Screech” when they moved to Washington, D.C. to become the Nationals.

NPUT
Dodgers pitchers faced just two batters over the minimum.
Wow. That’s impressive.
Glad that one landed in Belli’s glove.
The “Heidi” we’re hearing is this person, who’s been around baseball broadcasting for quite a while.
The rest of ’em are
I’ve just muted them to listen to Jaime.
6:05 PDT game tomorrow night. I’ll be sitting in the Blaisdell Concert Hall listening to people sing songs by The Four Seasons at that hour.
Yippee!
Belli is all smiles. Nice to see.
Ballgame.. Wah-Ooh.
Woo-HOO!!!
Dodgers win!
99 wins with 19 games left to play…
Still on pace for 112 wins.
Jumbo Jack them Bick.
My take on this call: I don’t care.
Ha!
Belli scored. 5-0.
Two stolen bases create 2 runs.
A good night for Belli for sure.
Yes! Freddie rbi!
Belli coasts to second for another steal.
Mookie’s swinging a little bit wildly this game.
And looks at a fastball right down the middle for the SO.
Yeah, not his usual good eye.
Joey K Bart goes two for three.
KT3 strikeouts don’t concern you though.
Bickford’s looked much better lately.
When he’s good it really helps our bullpen.
Jon Miller looking a lot different than I recall.
He’s a really good broadcaster, unlike the homer hacks Krukow and Kuiper.
I enjoy Jon’s game calling as well.
The Gnats have one of the top radio guys, and two of the very worst TV guys.
Brewers just one game behind the Puds for the 3rd wildcard spot.
1.5 the announcers are saying.
Yep. 1.5.
BadGums, who lost to SD tonight, is now 6-15 with a 5.01 ERA for Phoenix. The Gnats must be thrilled they didn’t re-sign him.
Jeepers, Apple TV is minutes behind Gameday.
And the color is weird as well.
Until I muted it to listen Jaime, the sound was off and on.
And dumb.
So much for combined. Oh well.
Rooting for the shutout now.
That little hop Vesia gave after striking out Bart was amusing.
There really was a 0% chance May was going 9 innings tonight.
Wasn’t likely. Probably for the best.
Yes. We’re going to need May to throw a lot in the postseason, I hope.
I think this was a smart move by Doc – nip the possible no-hitter in the bud.
Would not really be much of an accomplishment against the Gnats. LOL
But also, don’t let people get too exercised over it.
Ha!
Hey, there’s such a thing as a combined no-hitter!
No longer sadly.
For this game.
Joey K Bart played that one beautifully.
It really is your greatest passion isn’t it?
How about more positives and fewer negatives, WBB? Baseball is enjoyable, no?
That was enjoyable.
I could be wrong – but the issue seems to be that you enjoy Bart’s struggles more than Dustin May’s pitching or JT’s doubles (for example).
Schadenfreude gefällt mir.
I honestly have no idea what that says or means. But good for you for knowing another language (seriously).
German used to be my second language, but now it’s a distant third.
It means he likes and enjoys the troubles of others.
That… is a tough way to live I would think. But to each their own.

Das stimmt.

I think the Dodgers are going to set a record for doubles this year.
Team record that is
Currently Doubles: 306 (2017)
How many do they have this year?
299 including 3 so far tonight. .
But I have the Dodgers at 312 doubles in 2017.
It is 312 in 17.
Wikipedia is wrong? Horrors! 😉
You should update it Link.
Another strong inning by May.
3 innings, 48 pitches for May.
Four innings, 54 pitches.
Five – 69.
Very fine outing, despite the fact it was the Gnats.
It’s satisfying to see Dehydrochlormethyltestosterone Boy struggle on the mound.
There’s a good word for scrabble.

Belli comes home!
Trea! 4-0.
And a nice Belli steal!
As long as he is ok.
Belli good at bat! Gets the RBI!
Belli-Hoo!!
3-0 with the RBI from Belli.
Bottom of the order getting it done.
Very nice to see.
Dodgers lead 2-0, but it’s against the Giants so apparently it’s like they are losing.
LOL.
JT with the gap power. Let’s bring him home.
Actually, it was sufficient power to get one past Joc, which is not the same thing.
So it was worthless?
Joc’s a pretty poor outfielder.
I think u dislike the Giants more than u like the Dodgers.
May is looking good tonight.
It’s only the Gnats, though.
So it’s worthless?
Not definitive, but better than the alternative.
I’ll take it.
I think May looks much sharper, regardless of the opposing team. Far fewer balls, better strikes.
Much better command.
KKK! May has shaken off the dust!

The moment Apple dropped Freddie’s hit probability from 35 percent to 19, he singled.
Pujols might get to 700 this year after all.
Love the DP there.
I’d;ve preferred that Greasylocks had fanned.
So busy talking to a player, Apple TV missed Gallo stealing 2nd.
Pretty pathetic.
I hate this split screen crap.
Yes. 1-0
Muncy with the xbh.
Gallo made a heckuva catch there.
It was a beauty.

Thanks Bum. No eyes tonight.
Joey Gallo!!!
Nice catch!
First two pitches to Trea are balls called strikes. Gonna be a long night.
Now back home, I hardly ever get to watch the Dodgers play the Gnats. Tonight, however, I do have access to Apple TV so there’s no blackout. Tomorrow and Sunday are scheduled blackouts, but it looks as if they’ll be rainouts instead.
