Game 157; 2022
Six games in a row with the same team reminds me of the 8-game series the Hawai’i Islanders played at home. For expense reasons the PCL scheduled visiting teams for more than twice the usual series length (which the Islanders did play on the road).
NPUT
Roseboro concerned about getting taken out at the plate. https://twitter.com/nut_history/status/1575984966457909248?s=20&t=8qfYiWOkNvelYD-a2wDD2A
Kenley in the midst of a shaky ninth for the Barves in Atlanta, but he gets out of it with 24 pitches including a walk, a hit, and an HBP.
At the stadium tonight. Fireworks! Elton John bobble head (what – why?) and my husband here with me for the first time in a while.
I recall listening to the PCL broadcasts (which were re-creations because the local station was too cheap to send the play-by-play guy to Hawai’i). We would listen beneath the blankets to games that started at 11 pm PST and, one night, the Tacoma Giants overcame a 8-0 lead with an 11-run rally in the ninth. It was all anybody talked about the next day.
Those were the days. I remember the recreation.
We had one of the worst broadcasters ever. https://www.tacomasportsmuseum.com/oldtimers2/halloffamesite/hallc28e.html?name=Don%20Hill
Ronald Reagan did baseball recreations.
As if there were not already sufficient reason to detest re-creations…
Yee haw!
Dang! Hanser’s ERA just went over 4. LOL.
What’s the over/under on his post-season pitching appearances?
Woo-HOO!!! 109! Home field advantage!
109!!!
Dodgers win!!!
Hanser!
Ooooh Alberto.
Hanser wants to play post season baseball.
Lol!
Trea needs a couple of days off.
I certainly hope that Kershaw returns for a 16th season with the Dodgers in 2023. Has anyone ever pitched more than 15 years with the Dodgers?
He’ll be back.
Don Sutton snuck in a 16th year in 1988
That’s right. After leaving the Dodgers following the 1980 season, he pitched briefly for the Dodgers in 1988.
How about Pee Wee Reese?
Pee Wee played 16 years. Only Bill Russell and Zack Wheat played more. They were both at 18 years.
I don’t think Pee Wee pitched that many years.
OOPS.
Joy in Seattle for the first time in a long while. https://twitter.com/DKramer_/status/1576067017030844417?s=20&t=k9vIHY6s-5c1an1_XRC90g
Nice for M fans.
I’m so happy for them.
Nice to see some key regulars getting a half day of work today. And good to give some bench guys some extra at bats, etc. The benefits of a 9-0 score.
To finish above .700, Dodgers need to sweep this series.
We’ve scored as many runs in four innings tonight as we did in the three-game series in San Diego.

Coming ever closer to falling below .200, Bellinger uncorks his 18th home run.
He could wind up being a .20 20 guy
He barely missed another in his first AB.
And a Mookie double!
BELLI!!!
This game, with really nothing at stake. seems like the start of a postseason barnstorming tour.
Does now!
Clayton getting burned by soft contact, just like the Pads did last night off Brewster.
We are on the same wavelength.
Just like Van… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CsEdUH3j1KU
Nice.
Clay getting soft hit and broken batted right and left.
