Game 126, 2015

Posted on by

Dodgers at Reds, 9:35AM PT, TV: SPNLA

Zack Greinke (13-3, 1.37 ERA) looks for win number fourteen in a rematch of the August 16 game he started against Reds’ right-hander Anthony DeSclafani (7-9, 3.97 ERA). The Dodgers won that one 2-1 thanks in part to a Greinke home run. DeSclafani did himself proud, though, going six innings, walking two and striking out six. If Greinke goes six innings or more in today’s game he’ll keep a streak alive: he’s gone at least that distance in all 25 starts he’s made this year.

Lineup when available.

  3. I see Kimbrel of the Padres has been claimed on waivers by an unknown club. Considering the money he is owed, there are few clubs that could afford him… Dare we hope?

    • Kimbrel would be an asset, but the price would be very high. However, I expect the Gnats would take him to prevent the Dodgers from doing so, since much of their pen will be gone next year.

  5. Rodriguez from Milwaukee should be available today. I hope the FO spends some money here. He’d cost a little over $10MM for this year and next but he’d probably be worth it. He should clear waivers because that’s enough money to discourage other clubs from bidding.

  7. From historical fact hound GWilson at TBLA:

    “Never before
    The Dodgers are the first team in major league history to win a baseball game while grounding into at least five double plays with one of the GIDPs scoring the game’s only run.”

  8. just read the play by plays, wow double plays galore, based loaded, its amazing we won!

  9. Via MLBTR: “Whatever the Red Sox do with Hanley Ramirez the rest of the way in 2015, opines John Tomase of WEEI.com, finding him a new home this winter should be at the top of the to-do list of president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski. Ramirez has had a deleterious effect throughout the organization, Tomase argues, suggesting that relying on the veteran at first carries too much risk. Yesterday, we polled MLBTR readers on the matter. The current results: a virtual dead heat between “move him to first” and “deal him away.”

  14. Link – nice of you to take a few runs off of Zach’s ERA (you reversed scorer decisions on a couple of hits?)

  15. Just heard an announcer say that SF can’t wait for Sept 1 and the increased rosters. Our call ups must be better than theirs right? Isn’t that what the new FO really has focused on – a improved depth on the 40 man roster?

    • Shirley you are not comparing farm systems!? We have 4 of the top 30 MLB prospects in our system. Seager and Peraza likely to be called up (Urias and de Leon not on 40-man). As well, Ballslinger and Barnes should be nice additions. And guys like Wilkens and Schebler can help out. Yimi will be back as well.

  16. Also – been trying to get this site to load for the last few hours and it wouldn’t until just now. The problem was not just on my phone but on my desktop as well. Don’t know what was going on there but curious if anyone else was having difficulty today. Although by the number of posts below, I’m guessing not.
    Anyhow, missed being part of the chatting today (because of work meetings and because of my logging on problems).

        • Likely never happen, but it’d be great to see the ripped-off kid slug the so-called adult when this happens, which seems like it has a few other times. Seldom would that be more justified.

  23. Was it last year or the year before that they seemingly couldn’t hit with the bases loaded? This is a bad time of year to start that again, fellas.

  31. Is this the first time we have faced Chapman in this series? (Saw him mow down a bunch of Aussies at WBC in 2009 in el DF).

  37. You wouldn’t know it from listening to every baseball announcer ever, but lead off walks end up scoring at the same rate as lead off singles.

  38. Supposedly is free MLB game of the day. Not. Blacked out here, over 300 miles and better than 5 hours from Cincinnati on a good travel day.

    Makes perfect sense, of course. But they can manage without me, I expect.
