ACK!!
Buehler and Banda get bombed by Belli and Busch.
Don’t think we can GDP this kid.
Nothing more Max could do. He hit it hard but right at the 1st baseman.
Buehler using up all his pitches in one inning. Someone should tell him it’s better to spread them out over multiple innings.
With Fillies leading 1-0 in top of ninth, their CF had a deep fly ball in the glove but came down on top of fence and it fell out and over. Devil Rays tied it, but their bullpen then blew it.
Blech. We will get them tomorrow, hopefully.
Cubbies' OF defense has burned Dodgers several times.
Get all the bad stuff out tonight Dodgers. And win tomorrow.
Well, shoot. Down the drain we go.
Not sure why Dodgers picked up this Ramirez guy.
Bullpen depletion.
Started listening in the drive home and it was 4-0 Cubs. Lots of action ever since!
Much of it awful.
Since then Dodgers are winning 4-3!
Apparently the Cubs pen has been one of the best ones the last few months. But Dodgers trying to give it a go here.
Need 4 through 9 to contribute. The top 3 have been setting the table (and Mookie driving them in as well).
Two runs Banda gave up are looming large now.
MLB!
Mookie!!!
I hope the big 3 will still all get another round of AB’s tonight.
Wonder if Shohei will try for third here?
The Perfecto was my first mlb game. Been downhill since.
My first was a Koufax shutout of Houston (not yet the Trashtros) in 1966. Second game of the DH was also a shutout (Joe Moeller, IIRC).
Goodness.
Slight delay on that strikeout.
Pfffft
Part 2. (See OD’s comment below.)
Very poor situational hitting by Miggy.
You say that like it was his intention. I’m guessing he knew what the situation warranted but just missed on the execution.
Banda didn’t help tonight. He hasn’t lately.
We can agree on that. Looking forward to Brewster's return.
Buehler and Banda bombed.
PFFFFFT!!!
Gotta hold'em at 5.
Well, holding them at 5 runs ahead maybe.
Cool

Max the juggler!
It figures Belli and Busch are killing us.
He is struggling to stay close to solid.
Not walking guys at this point, but doesn’t seem to have the command yet to put them away as in the past.
So – one step at a time you are saying.
Yep, seems to be going in the right direction.
As I suggested below, it's a process rather than an event.
Time running out, though.
I expect it'll be next season for Ferris.
I wonder what team he will be playing for? Dodgers? Or one of the other 29 teams?
I would bet on one of the other 29 teams.
Is that handegg?
Clearly. But I think Smith is the real deal at WR. And the qb seems solid.
Smith is the real deal. With the talent we have we should be in the national title hunt.
Walker must be so frustrated. I can’t tell if he is quite close to being very solid (but not yet spectacular) or still struggling. A bit of both I suppose – which is why he must be frustrated.
Rats!!
Off topic – but Ohio State look to have a pretty good football team this year.
Yep. Looking good so far but haven't played a top tier team yet.
Ok Max. Drive them in.
At least one of them.
One it is. Wish it was more.
It's a game again.
Indeed
Mookie stole a sb from Shohei.
We'll take it.
3rd time through the lineup for Hendricks. Let’s go Mookie.
You are pasting (as opposed to futuring).
Huh?
Let’s go Shohei.
He's already on third.
Let’s go Shohei.
Hendricks for the Cubs is following in Bob Hendley’s footsteps so far tonight.
Unfortunately, Buehler is not Koufax-esque this evening.
Wake up bats. Come out and play please.
This feels like it is going to be a tough night.
But you never know.
What rep does their pen have?
It’s either Bic or Fountain. I’m not too sure.
CT3 really can’t do any worse than anyone else so far tonight.
Where does this come from?
Sorry. I’m actually not down on him but was bracing for the criticism I thought he might get. It was actually a preemptive defence.
Ah yes, he does get a lot of criticism around here. Had a terrible first half so tough for him to overcome that. People don’t like his batting approach that’s for sure. Oh and the contract.
Much of it unwarranted. Not a perfect player, but still a valuable one.
Done a lot for this club over the years that’s for sure and has been reliable again since June.
Interesting to hear from AF on the tv broadcast. He figures both Yamamoto and Glasnow will have a good chance to be back and ready to go for the playoffs.
Much better inning Walker.
Ditto
Nice DP Gavin
If anybody can turn this around, It's Hendricks.
This is sad.
It's a process, not an event.
Belli says hi.
I wish he hadn't spoke at all
Speaks softly but carries a big stick.
Teddy Roosevelt, who had the Panama Canal dug. Speaking of which, Walker is digging a big hole.
The legendary Ed Kranepool has died at 79. When he first appeared for the Mutts, in their inaugural season of 1962, he was 17 years old.

September 9th
1948 At the Polo Grounds, 23-year-old right-hander Dodger Rex Barney no-hits the Giants, 2-0. Before completing the gem, the Brooklyn starter endures a one-hour rain delay and showers in the 7th, 8th, and 9th innings.
1965 "And there's 29,000 people in the ballpark and a million butterflies." – VIN SCULLY, setting the stage in the ninth inning of Sandy Koufax's gem.
At Dodger Stadium, Sandy Koufax throws a perfect game against the Cubs, the southpaw's record fourth no-hitter, beating Bob Hendley's one-hit effort, 1-0. In the fifth inning, the Chicago left-hander gives up an unearned run, yielding the game's only hit in the seventh-inning double to Lou Johnson on a ball that barely rolls to outfield grass. https://youtu.be/WINiz0Bfb-0
2013 Juan Uribe homers in 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.
Bob Hendley, the one-hit wonder.
Rex Barney showered three times before the game ended? It must've been really humid.

Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?
Wow. That’s a rather dramatic comparison.
