Rockies at Dodgers, 7:10 PM PDT, TV: ATT SportsNet-RM, SPNLA
LHP Ty Blach (1-1, 4.85 ERA) pitches for the Rockies and the Dodgers send out LHP Clayton Kershaw (10-4, 2.55 ERA).
- 1979 Dodger hurler Don Sutton sets a franchise record with his 50th shutout, blanking San Francisco at Candlestick Park, 9-0. The 34 year-old right-hander had previously shared the mark with Don Drysdale. (Ed. note: 50! In his twelfth year [now fifteenth] Clayton Kershaw has a career total of 15! In fact, Kershaw hasn’t thrown a complete game since 2017, which shows how the management of pitchers has changed.)
- 1995 The first forfeit in the majors in sixteen years occurs when the fans for the third time during the night throw promotional souvenir baseballs onto the Dodger Stadium field. At the time of the decision to halt the game, Los Angeles is trailing the Cardinals, 2-1 with one out in the bottom of the ninth.
August 10 is a good day for pitchers: in 1971 at San Francisco’s Candlestick Park, Juan Marichal records his 50th career shutout as the Giants blank the Expos, 1-0. The Dominican hurler’s ninth inning double helps to build the winning run.

Yippee for the Dodgers’ win, and yippee for being out of the hospital.
Two small kidney stones and one larger stone in my gall bladder. Also aspirational pneumonia,, meaning food in the lung. Not heart.
Kidney stone is the most painful thing I’ve ever been through.
My sister gets them. She’d agree with you. I’ve got an appointment with a urologist in a couple of weeks.
Kershaw and Yarbrough were awesome and although for fewer innings so was Graterol.
¡Brewster!
BALLGAME!!!!

Woo-HOO!!!’
Quique was terrible at SS for the Sawx this year, but that was a very fine play.
Here we go…
The odds of Muncy getting a single were low, a home run higher, a walk very high.
K even higher, no?
I’m trying to behave
Bust it open Chris.
Mr. Salami
A can of corn would work.
Crowd got excited.
So was I
My mind said Texas Leaguer but my fingers typed can of corn.
Patience pays off!
Gracias Maximilliano
Mucho shortstop.
Shoulda tagged.
Opportunity
Yarbrough’s done a fine job since his arrival.
That was the June version of Outman
Thanks a million Maximillion.
That was overdue.
QuiQue looking good at third.
And now at short
OK. Enough of this crap. Lets score some freaking runs..
Yarbrough again looking good. The guy can carry a tune.
I am already sick of Blecch.
He’s pitching well.
Yep
A Belcch might help you.
Klayton hasn’t pitched since June 27, but still leads the team in innings pitched. Team went 22-12 when he was out, despite starter ERA of 5.30.
Probably not sustainable, especially in post-season.
One would think. That’s around .647 winning percentage. In the playoffs you have to play something like .571 to take home all the marbles. It isn’t a conventional winning formula that’s for sure.
Klayton is even good at picking vacation days.
He apparently learned to throw a changeup while vakationing.
Are you okay, Link? Please stay safe over there. What a terrible time for those beautiful islands.
No fires on O’ahu, so I’m safe, thanks. 53 confirmed dead on Maui, mostly in and around Lahaina. It’s tragic.
Wow. Have a buddy who lives the the area, as does his son who lost his house.
The famous Banyon tree was charred enough to cause concern for its survival.
Had Thanksgiving dinner there at the hotel in 1958 with my family. (Tree was a lot younger back then, as was I!)
With a name like Ty Blecch, it’s only appropriate that he came up with the Gnats.
