Game 104, 2023

Reds at Dodgers, 1:10 PM PDT, TV: BS Ohio, SPNLA

RHP Graham Ashcraft (5-7, 5.64) pitches for the Queen City representatives today. RHP Michael Grove (3-2, 6.19 ERA) does the same for the City of Angels.

Here are Joe Davis and Orel Hershiser’s respective speeches from last night’s ceremony inducting Hershiser into the Dodgers’ Legends.

Today in Dodgers’ history:

  • 2004 In a blockbuster trade, the Marlins deal Brad Penny, the winner of two World Series games last season, first baseman Hee Seop Choi, and southpaw prospect Bill Murphy (who will be traded to the Diamondbacks tomorrow) to the Dodgers for backstop Paul Lo Duca, relief pitcher Guillermo Mota, and much-traveled outfielder Juan Encarnacion.
  • 2017 Texas third baseman Adrian Beltre collects his 3000th hit when he doubles in the fourth inning in the Rangers’ 10-6 loss to the Orioles at Globe Life Park in Arlington. The twenty-year veteran, who has also spent time with the Dodgers, Mariners, and the Red Sox, is the first-ever Dominican-born player to reach the coveted milestone.

  1. It’s interesting that Gnats and Snakes play four games against each other next – hopefully it’s a draw, or even 3-1 Snakes, while we sweep Oakland. But I’m not sure of anything right now…

  2. Curses. Old friend JT almost wins it for the Sawx. Old friend Joc wins it for the Gnats.

  3. This is the fourth straight series against playoff-bound teams or teams very close to them, and the record is two series wins, one series loss already and one that looks very much like another barring a huge outburst. That’s not a great sign for October baseball.

  4. Kershaw talking to Roberts in the dugout trying to keep his eyes off the wreck.

  5. I think Grove is making a case to be the the first youngster to go back to OKC.
