Dodgers at Nationals, 1:05 PM PDT, TV: MASN 2, SPNLA
RHP Bobby Miller (9-3, 3.80 ERA) goes for the Dodgers and RHP Jake Irvin (3-5, 4.35 ERA) goes for the Nats.
- 1948 At the Polo Grounds, Dodger Rex Barney no-hits the Giants, 2-0. The Brooklyn 23 year-old right-hander had to endure a one-hour rain delay, as well as showers in the 7th, 8th, and 9th innings to finish his gem.
- 1965 Sandy Koufax’s perfect game against the Cubs bests Bob Hendley’s one hit effort, 1-0. The Dodger Stadium gem is the southpaw’s record fourth no-hitter.
“And there’s 29,000 people in the ballpark and a million butterflies.” – Vin Scully’s description Of Koufax’s masterpiece.
- 2013 Juan Uribe homers in each of his first three trips to the plate in the Dodgers’ 8-1 victory over Arizona. Los Angeles goes yard six times in the Chavez Ravine contest, falling two shy of the franchise record established in 2002.

Noch Scheiße!
And just like that…
Ok. Now hold them to 0 runs here please.
Kike’ dares to hit a ball into the outfield and wins
Nice sacrifice Max

Dang. What a stupid good catch.
NPUT @ 0600 HST, 0900 PDT, 1200 EDT
A walk-off wild pitch?
Oy vey!
A real bummer of a road trip so far.
Well, that’s that.
I feel rained on
Bummer
Four hour delay to end like that…
Rats.
Bad future person.
Stooopid way to end it.
How did they not score there? Well, we’ll see if that costs them.
Man on third and one out the hitter has to make contact
Not feeling so hopeful suddenly.
Best case is another extra inning.
Not an especially meaningful game, but having put this much effort into it…
Dodgers gave away an out so it makes it harder.
Yikes.
Hammered but right at them.
Let’s go Willy, clap clap, clapclapclap.
Up to Will again.
Hate giving up outs tied in extras.
Please end this quickly., Dodgers – dogs need a walk.
Haven’t they been out twice today already?
Yes, but they need to at least go around the block.
To secure the perimeter?
Nature calls!
Dodger dogs!

Extra extras!
I think I just saw tomorrow’s starter warming up in the bullpen.
Nice to get the lead runner. Better still would have been if he could have tagged him and also getting the out at first.
Woulda been difficult.
True.
Long day. Getting longer still?
Not too late to head back to the stadium. Lol
Given the circumstances, still quite a few people there.
Yesterday people already had about 7 innings under their belts and local team was losing, so get that attendance was sparse after the game resumed. As well, tonight people were stuck at the stadium as it is a bit of a walk in the rain to public transport (the Metro).
That was fast
Hold them to 0 runs here please.
3 outs to go.
¡Quique!
Dodgers take back the lead!
Stay out of DP here Dodgers.
No K either
Bad future person.
If we don’t score we have to hope for 11 innings
Max got robbed there.
Not the first Dodger hitter tonight to get robbed.
Smith keeping his foot on home plate not as easy as it is for the other padded bases.
If Dodgers pull this one out, I think it could really turn their season around. Lol
Just kidding of course but it would be fun.
Graterol screams a 4 letter word and then crosses himself. Struck me as funny.
Are you a lip reader in Spanish?
He didn’t use Spanish
You are the lip reader, then?
Some words are pretty distinctive.
You sound tired
Let’s go to the tenth!
Just what every 4 hour rain delayed game needs: Extra-innings!!
One more out please.
Nice play at both ends.
Very nice Smith
Walking Abrams to face their best hitter. And it works out for now.
Only have to worry about the runner at third– what to do.
That one’s on Brewster – had him 0-2.
Turn two Max
Max’s adventures at 3rd base continues.
Max butchered that one.
Muncy again
Freddie rarely chases like that.
Oh man Fredrick.
Here comes Freddie!
Wong steals second!
Now he do the Freddie
Tie game!!!
Let’s go! Outman at third on the stolen base and bad catch at 2nd.
Great at bat there by Outman.
Now steal second
and then take third on an overthrow
You rang?
The difference in this game is absolutely catches made by Washington outfielder vs missed by the Dodgers.
Ridiculous.
Bottom 3 coming up. It’s a long way before Freddie.
And yet, here he is
Ok JHey. Keep it going.
Max!
Good outfield catches in this game.
Given that the division’s all but wrapped up, it’s hard to get too upset, but having had to wait so long for this leaves a bad taste.
At least Freddie hit a double. That’s about the most significant thing for the Dodgers tonight.
That and Max’s 2 run HR.
Shoot. Tough game.
Scheiße!
Oh drat.
Safe.
base hit
Harder to have a 2 out rally with no one on base. But it’s worth a shot.
Let’s keep it at 3-1 here Dodgers.
Settle down, kid.
The defence has really let Miller down tonight.
The offence as well actually.
He’s let himself down, too.
By giving up a fly ball out RBI? I guess so.
Well that’s not a great situation.
The rain seemed to have cooled off the Dodgers hot bats.
Bobby Miller!
Two outs, time to score
Even just a single would likely do it.
JD ain’t the fastest guy.
2 outs though gives him a head start.
A pop up however doesn’t work.
I was quite confident that Miller would get out of that which is a very nice feeling, being confident of your starter.
He’s a major talent.
So Bob – did you stick around? Are you at the game?
I think he went home.
That sucks. Not being able to see the game that is. Not him going home.
Do butts do all the seat drying?
I emailed the group to say the game was going to go after all, but he may have gotten home and said “I’m in for the day/night.”
I saw that email. Thank you for sending it.
Didn’t see your email.
Went home at about six local time and then out to dinner about the time the game started. Should be there again tomorrow.
For the college football fans, I’m missing the Texas – Alabama game because it’s on ESPN and thanks to Disney’s greed and Spectrum’s unwillingness to accommodate that greed, no ESPN channels are visible on my cable TV.
Annoying, this is.
Only marginally less boring than soccer, so I can’t get worked up about it.
Unlike him, Heyward butchers one.
And struggles with the next one as well.
But makes the catch.
And struggles with the next one as well.
But makes the catch.
Freddie expands his franchise record for doubles.
54 is tied for 25th most in a season. Could end up in top 5.
It’s about time!
Can you get these in México, Hendley? https://twitter.com/TJAQUEZH/status/1699931693287649413?s=20
Darned good price!

I’m guessing neither of these games will ever be played, because they’ll have no effect on the final standings.
Guessing that they will try to play both tomorrow and with luck get one in.
Well, for background noise I’m going to switch to handegg, as WBBsAs calls it.
National Weather Service:
I guess it’s time to take the canines out again, though they had a dog park excursion this morning.
They are letting us go to our seats
But just announced that they will update in 15 minutes. No rain, but nothing happening with the tarp.
Crew just now making an appearance
But just to put extra protection around home plate.
Is there still more rain in the forecast throughout the evening?
And tomorrow
Same stupid announcement.
Storm approaching we have to leave our seats.
Heading home.
Expecting an 11am start tomorrow, but we’ll see.
Can’t blame you.

I love PSA that lack the info you actually want.
Just arrived. Tarp still on. Drizzling
Color me irked. Weather app says rain to stop in 19 minutes.
Some sort of announcement being made, but pretty muddled
Forecast has rain ending in 5 minutes. They will provide an update then.
Now the app says rain for the next hour.
Yep
I see that today is mine and Sandy’s.
I was listening in Tacoma via KFI.
Storm clouds gathering
