I care less about the Dodgers potentially (likely?) losing this game and more about Kershaw being the one to take the L.
I care more about an outing that suggests Kershaw's back.
Rats!!
Durn.
Tigers have a rookie catcher named Dillon Dingler.
Honeywell got jobbed on pitch to Realmuto.
Dodgers are going to need some hits
Upper leg at least
Very impressed by Kershaw’s line: 5 hits 5 Ks, 0 walks. 1 earned run. However, no eyes, no ears. How hard was he throwing?
He threw very few fast balls as I recall
He was touching 91.
Doc goes to the Well, again.
At least it doesn't appear to be should or elbow related
Yeah, leg. Grabbed his hammie
Or quad
This looks really bad.
Kersh with 5 SO. Gives him 2955 now. Just 25 more to pass Greinke at 2979.
Adios Brusdar.
I'm afraid so, Short time between Hola and Adios.
Welcome back Brusdar!
Roberts talking to Kershaw. I wonder how different the conversation is from one he has had with Ryan?
And stay strong through 85+ pitches
Good outing from Kersh. Very encouraging. Would be great if he could find another mph or two on his fastballl.
Who is impersonating Will Smith in the batter’s box?
Chris Taylor.
Chris had a pretty good June at least, Will hasn’t done anything with the bat since May.
Ha!
Normally waits until September to swoon.
Or, who is Will impersonating?
Joe has been relegated to 2nd fiddle among fireball righties in the pen.
Hopefully in tune tonight
Well, bounced back from last outing and looked killer at times
I'm guessing he tired to the point of losing control.
Come on Kiermaier
Got that one.
Yep, pitch count not above 15 per inning
Given his return from surgery, a pretty good outing.
meant now above 15
Nostradamus
Klayton's not putting 'em away now.
Next pitch
Pitch count rising, likely his last inning.
Say it ain't so Joe
Still four innings to go here in Oaktown.
Chisox in danger of ending their losing streak.
Will is lost.
This is very nice.
Who needs to throw a fastball
Two ground balls for hits so now one more ground ball for a double play.
Kiermaier reaches base!
Arm ain’t slumping.
Ouch
Yep. Pitcher was cruising but walked the batter in front of Seager.
Unfortunately, Trashtros didn't lose.
Corey Seager breaks up the no-hitter with a 2 run jack with 2 out in the bottom of the ninth.
I'm sure speed guns have become more accurate but even so different makes don't show the exact same speeds. I say this to lead up to what I remember the fastball speeds of Koufax and Valenzuela. I remember Koufax at 93 and Valenzuela hitting 92.
I wonder what speed Kershaw has to have to be very good. I think I saw a 90 just now.
He has hit 91 tonight.
So far, 91 is working
He thinks he is best if he is in 93 range.
Five hundred for Freddie!
Where’s the Pegger?
Dang I missed it! I was at a meeting this evening and am just catching up now.
Easy first for Klayton, with one K and only soft contact.

Today in Dodgers History
August 6th
1981 The players approved a split-season format necessitated by the seven-week strike. The Yankees, A's, Phillies, and Dodgers are declared the first-half champions, automatically qualifying for the divisional series.
2016 Giancarlo Stanton drives a pitch thrown by Rockies starter Chad Bettis deep into the Rockpile seats, a 504-foot blast that becomes the longest round-tripper in the 21-year-old history of Coors Field. The Miami Marlins slugger's fifth-inning solo shot in the team's 12-6 loss surpasses the 496-footer hit in 1997 by Dodger catcher Mike Piazza off current Colorado bullpen coach Darren Holmes
Miguel Vargas walked twice and scored a run as Chisox ended their potential record-breaking skein.
I was at a meeting tonight. Just catching up to all the comments. I read here that Freddie got his 500th double!
Old news.
Snakes rained out in Cleveland, Fryers in Pittsburgh rain delay. Nats swat Gnats 11-5 in the District.
Huge test for Kershaw tonight. Perhaps his most important non-postseason start in years.
I hope we see some improvement/progress.
‘Possum on the field! Lucky opossum? Nerp.
Yep. Dodgers offense playing dead.
Kike runs the pitch count up on Estevez.
Honeywell taking one for the team. Doc throwing in the towel.
Ah well. Not our night.
0 for 6 RISP. Just couldn't get that clutch hit.
Well phooey, re: Ohtani fly ball. And so sorry about Brusdar. And glad Kersh looked so much better. And amazing Pages throw. Did I miss anything?
Freddie got his 500th double.
Right!!!
Wow!! What a throw by Pages.
That was Móndesi quality.
https://x.com/Ned2point0/status/1821027022614810956
Will is clutch again
Is he? Thats some good futuring if it is true.
He is back. Hopefully keeps getting better.
It was certainly encouraging.
Catchers get dinged up
Apparently either im in the future or in the past. Just trying to be in the present though.
Shall we talk about the space time continuum?
That is… amazing!
