Need to win in the 10. Braves have 7,8,9 coming up while Dodgers will have 1,2,3.
Bad at bat by Muncy.
Oh Max. Your batting eye failed you there.
He was flailing.
Shoot. Rojas with the GIDP.
Really don’t want to upset the apple cart in any way and jinx him, but Stone is a rock tonight.
I recently exchanged emails with Jon Weisman about the Dodgers’ rookie outfielder, and he tells me Andy does not use an accent, so henceforth I will refer to him as ‘Pages.” That said, the Redbirds have a rookie catcher Pedro Pagés from Venezuela.
NPUT

Next up I would like a hard g as well.
You’ll have to settle for https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Gimenez
In hospital. Reduced info for game thread because I am typing on my phone. I apparently aspirated a partial crown of a wisdom tooth.
Oh no, Link! That sounds terrible. Please take care of yourself. ❤️❤️❤️
Now maybe not crown but just emphysema worsening. We’ll see.
I saw you were needing oxygen earlier but hoped it’s a temporary setback. Sending you healing thoughts. Also, go Dodgers!
Steve, I am also sending healing thoughts your way. There are better places to eat jello including the jello-on-a-stick at Dodger Stadium.
Hope you get to feeling better very soon.
May you get the best possible care.
Steve: Get well, please, and stay well, and please don’t feel any need to continue to serve us with this blog unless you are truly up to do….Lewis
All the best, Bud.
I want to also add my best thoughts for your care and recovery.
Hope you are able to get some good rest tonight Link and that you return to some better health soon!
Thanks. White cell count way high but dropping.
This was a very satisfying win.
Dodgers on pace to win 100.058824 games.
Good point.
Never in doubt! Lol
Yippee!
Pages player of the game. He and Stone.
A lot of credit to Grove also.
Woo-HOO!!!!
Pages to the rescue!
Pages!!!!!!
Dodgers win!!!!!
How did Pages reach it and why did he swing?
They all have been outside to Pages.
Ok Pages. Let’s close the book on this game.
Didn’t have control.
Out, I think.
Bad call, he never had control of it.
Ok. We can work with this.
Dodgers starting with 2 intentional runners on base.
6 straight out by Braves hitters.
YES! Our turn now…
Yes!!
May the 4th be with you Dodgers. (At least here in Manitoba.)
Dodger defence not necessarily at their strongest now with Enrique at 2nd instead of Rojas.
Really?
Their defense is fine, though.

I took a screenshot of this earlier tonight. I figured I would use it at some point, but this is quicker than I thought.
Still don’t feel great about this game. But – as they say – you never know.
And we send Grove out
He is better in relief than starting I think?
Advantage Braves. They have their big bats coming up. While the Dodgers will have 5,6,7.
Ruh roh. Top of their line up now.
That’s why I wanted Ohtani to end it. Lol
Lesson: don’t hit fly balls in extra innings.
It worked for the Barves.
Dang.
RISP? Really?
My MLBTV crashed, but came back on just in time for that.
Yay!
Tie game!
Alright!!!
End it (in a good way) Shohei.
I’d settle for a tie
You got it!
Mookie not the player of this month, so far.
Mookie needs a night off.
CT3 must love being at second without having to bat.
Dodgers are going to have to get some hits with RISP if they want to win tonight.
3 up and 3 down and we are losing.
I don’t have a great feeling about the outcome of this game. Help my unbelief!
Pfui.
2 straight outs and they score a run.
Gah.
That was good, bad, and almost very ugly.
Rats.
Pages keeps on hitting.
Pages bookend by Hernandez’s in the bottom of the 9th.
Glad that stayed in the park.
Ok Will. The other 3 in the Big 4 need you to save their night here.
Ok Freddie. Need a hit here.
Brand new ballgame. They get three outs, and we get six.
Five.
Need some runs boys!
Rats!! Hudson blows it for Stone.
Kershaw pitched today off the mound?! That seems earlier in the year than I expected.
Hudson’s control is off tonight.
Very inconsistent lately.
¡Miércoles!
Bad future person!
You are living in the future in the present or in the past?
Past perfect.
Ha! Just not in terms of the homerun however.
Future perfect is a bit more cheerful.
Oh dear
How does Pages rate as a CF’er?
That’s wild. The NL West is not all that good so far this year. Except for the good guys of course.
Especially when the A’s have been making a concerted effort to lose.
Ha! Good point.
By winning tonight in Oakland, the A’s (16-17) have a better record than the Gnats (15-18).
A Bummer call for sure on that pitch to Enrique.
He has a lovely swing.
Let’s go Pages. Nice start to the inning.
Another Dodger run or two would be grand.
Hi W.Dave!
Hi RBI. I joined in late tonight.
That hit the knob of the bat.
Not that Kelly couldn’t hit a batter…
Indeed it did!
And d’Arnaud stands there rubbing his finger like it actually hit him.
Even though it didn’t hit him, it probably stung.
Where’s your “Good Vibrations” link?
No comment.
Padres apparently trading for Luis Arraez. Which is too bad because it makes it harder to cheer for him.
Good contact hitter with almost no power. Sub-standard defense at 2B.

Mike P. scratching his head. Run scoring has not been a problem for the Friars, but prevention including defense has been lagging.
Stone’d!

A fine effort by the young man.
That would’ve been an easier play for Lux.
Oh dear Fred
Lux should have taken that.
Freddie gets hosed by the ump.
Max the Matador.
TEO!!!!!
Teouttahere.
Atta boy Will.
Good pickoff play. Acuna didn’t deserve to be on base anyway.
Fillies trample Gnats 4-3.
Just saw Trea score from second base on a passed ball against the Gnats. A thing of beauty!
I miss Willie Davis sometimes.
Gibson did that on a WP in 1988.
