Padres at Dodgers, 7:10 PM PDT, TV: Dodgers — SPNLA; Padres — see Game 143 post
LHP Blake Snell (13-9, 2.52 ERA) takes the hill for the Padres and RHP Ryan Pepiot (2-0, 2.86 ERA) does so for the Dodgers.
- 1925 In the first game of a twin bill, Robins’ (Dodgers) starter Dazzy Vance no-hits the Phillies at Ebbets Field, 10-1. The Brooklyn hurler had one-hit the team from the City of Brotherly Love five days earlier.
- 2005 During the six-run second inning uprising by Colorado, each Dodger outfielder commits an error. The fielding of Ricky Ledee (lf), Jose Cruz Jr. (right field), and Jayson Werth (cf) contributes to the 6-4 loss to the Rockies. The Dodgers finished 71-91 that year, in fourth place in the division. The Rockies finished last.
Also, in 1902, Johnny Evers, acquired to replace second baseman Bobby Lowe, who broke his ankle, joins shortstop Joe Tinker and first baseman Frank Chance on the Chicago infield, marking the first time the three Cubs’ infielders have played together. The legendary double play trio will be immortalized in Franklin Pierce Adams’ baseball poem, “Baseball’s Sad Lexicon,” better known as “Tinker to Evers to Chance”. Only one of the three really had any business even being considered for induction into the Hall of Fame, as far as I’m concerned. There were a bunch of romantics or cronies on the Veterans Committee in 1946.
Lineups when available.

NPUT
I am back. Been working on my taxes. Most of California got an extension to October 15. I’m thinking of Winnipeg Dave and RBI and our summer Dodgers games, etc.
We got ours in a couple months ago. What we’d done was give an interest free loan to both the feds and the state.
Good for our fine neighbours to the north. We honour you,
Has anybody here been following Gameday on an iPad? When I try, I get a “Sorry Something went wrong” message; though I can watch game broadcasts, I can’t see play by play.
Time to take the canines around the block.
That’s all she wrote.
There’s one run!
I would like three runs, please.
I’ll settle for seven (or ten).
Regarding the removal of Mookie and Freeman, does an inning or two of rest make a bean’s worth of difference?
No, but I do worry about the random and completely unnecessary injury.
Given our pitching issues, I think that signing Snell, a soon-to-be free agent, would be more important than signing Ohtani.
I agree.
I’d feel less frustrated about this game tonight if the Dodgers had held on to the 7-2 lead in game 1. But losing the series to the Pads – at home – is just dumb.
It’s no joy to watch but, with their big division lead and a likely first-round bye, Dodgers have the luxury of conducting auditions for post-season roles.
Ump is at least consistent tonight. Jobbing the Dodgers all night long.
As if Snell needed any help. Then stealing strikes from Joe and giving them to this guy.
Not even close, Ump. Not even close.
Wow.
Tough night for CT tonight.
May not be our night.
The ump hates us tonight. Lol
It’s pretty blatant.
Once again, strike three is ball four.
UMP!!!
And the ump calls that one a ball. What a joke.
I would not want to bat against Joe.
Nope
Neither would Hanley.
A Freddie extra base hit always makes the night better. Any chance for it here Freddie?
Poor Pepiot. Line looks a bit worse than he pitched.
He’s not embarrassed himself. Nobody expected him to finish the season with a 0.85 ERA.
Good inning.
Dodger offense is going at a snell’s pace.
So you aren’t oozing with confidence tonight then?
There seems to be a trail building up between the batters box and the dugout.
Dodgers need to put the metal to the pedal and make this-car-go.
Bumsrap – you are a very witty/puny guy!
Dodgers being shut out and mostly hitless brings it out of me.
I don’t know. You bring the wit most nights I would say.
Thanks Dave. We all chip in with humor to help make games like this better.
Where’s the salt when we need it.
Feels more like ripple tonight.

Actually – I should have said it’s more like vinegar!
Up and down we go!
Snell is making us look like chumps, instead of champs.
Except for WBB’s post 4 hours before the game, it’s kinda fun that right now it’s only Scoop, RBI and Winnipeg Dave posting.
I’m speechless
Tonight might be a write off. At least until Snell leaves and/or this ump starts calling balls and strikes better.
Our players really keep their cool, which I admire. Me? Not so much.
Mookie winced once as he looked in from second base.
Again with the ball called for strike three.
The hill just became a mountain.
Shooot
Yeah. But the night is young. Ish.
Let’s see if Pep can shut this inning down and hold the Padres to 1 or 0 runs here.
I think I like birthday Freddie better than day after birthday Freddie.
Mookie grabbing those steals tonight.
I swear Snell gets to 3-1 on every batter – and then usually gets the k anyways.
Especially when he gets the calls.
Ok Mookie. Let’s get a 2 out rally going here.
Sweet start so far by Pep. Just the one mistake to Soto.
Never quite realized how close Dazzy Vance was to becoming the first Johnny Vander Meer.
This looks to be a bit of a pitching duel tonight. Future Dodger Snell vs current Dodger Pepiot.
