The Dodgers claimed Phil Bickford off waivers from the Brewers and designated Mike Kickham for assignment in order to add the right-handed relief pitcher to their 40-man roster.
Bickford, 25, has appeared in two Major League games in his career, allowing a combined six runs on six hits in two innings with the Brewers. He was originally selected by the San Francisco Giants in the first round (18th overall) of the 2015 Draft out of the College of Southern Nevada.
Today’s game between the Dodgers and the Cubs has been rained out. It will be made up Tuesday at 11:20 a.m. (West Coast time) as part of a split twinbill. The second game is set for 4:40 p.m. (West Coast time).
The Pirates deal five-foot, six-inch reserve outfielder Al Gionfriddo
to the Dodgers for five players and a hundred thousand dollars in cash,
delivered by the diminutive flycatcher when he arrives in Brooklyn. The
Bucs received Hank Behrman, Dixie Howell, Gene Mauch, Cal McLish, and
Kirby Higbe, a former 20-game winner from South Carolina, made
expendable due to his comments about playing with his new teammate
Jackie Robinson, the first black to play in the major leagues this
century.
2004
Similar to last season, the aging outfielder Rickey Henderson re-signs
with the Atlantic League’s Bears, hoping for a shot of returning to the
big leagues. The 45 year-old future Hall of Famer batted .339, hit eight
home runs, drove in 33 runs, scored 52 runs, and stole nine bases for
the Newark team last season before joining the Dodgers in July.
2009
Defeating San Diego 2-1 in 10 innings, the Dodgers tie a franchise
record, winning their ninth consecutive decision at home from the start
of the season. The 1946 club also reeled off nine straight victories at
Brooklyn’s Ebbets Field at the beginning of the post-war campaign.
Today’s lineup
Betts — RF
Seager — SS
Turner — 3B
Muncy — 1B
Smith — C
Taylor — CF
Pollock — LF
Lux — 2B
Buehler — P
Pederson, just off the IL, is leading off and playing left field for the Cubs.
Each team has one player hitting above .300 — Turner (.337), Bryant (.323).
Taylor has scored 5 runs today. The club record, in Brooklyn or Los Angeles, is 6, set by Green in his 4-HR game in 2002. I haven’t done Rotisserie baseball in about a dozen years, but I did that year and Green was on my roster.
Bottom
Of the order with single, HR, double… no bueno.
Two innings left to break the team record and tie the Yankees who had a game with 3 GS.
Rios just had that opportunity.
Superb job today by Julio!
Superb(a) job?
Nicely done Julio!
Urias vs Urias. This round goes to Urias, J.
11% of Beaty’s career RBI’s have come in this game. (7 of 62)
1.9% of AJ’s RBI’s have come today (7 of 359).
Both Beaty and Pollock have more RBI’s than Shawn Green had vs Milwaukee when he hit 4 hrs, a double and a single. Green only had 6 RBI’s.
I don’t know who needed this game more – the team, or their fans.
Perhaps us!
This is surreal.
Let’s hope it continues into next week.
Okay now I can REALLY relax.
I have to wonder if Dodgers are on pace to break the HBP record?
Poor AJ. He is falling behind Beaty for Player of the Game.
The Dodger hitters are looking like they are having fun out there today.
It looks as if Counsell will continue to let Bettinger take one for the team.
I swear if this games goes into extra innings today…
I think we may be okay.
I think so as well.
Beaty!!
Holy Cow!!
Okay NOW I can relax.
SALAMI!!!
Bettinger at 50 pitches w two outs.
This has brightened a beautifully bright day where I live. Can anyone recall the last time we scored 5 or more runs in an inning?
Scored six just the other day, no?
Seems like another life.
Yes, thanks, in the extra-inning win. But that doesn’t count because of the man placed on second at the start. LOL.
Now – to hold the lead til the game’s end…
Looking a gift horse in the mouth?
It’s not like the Dodgers haven’t had a problem in holding leads.
But this one should be safe now.
AJ!!!!! Grand salami!!!!!
OK, that’ll do!
Red hot AJ!
Missed the bag. We will take it!
Got real lucky there.
Red hot Beaty!
One Cavalier to another.
Reflecting on the Dodgers’ performances over the last two weeks brings to mind this portion of Rudyard Kipling’s 1910 poem “If”, which was written as a father’s advice to his son:
“If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster And treat those two impostors just the same . . .”
“And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son.”
Pleased to see you acknowledge the proper measure of overland distance.
May injury really colored things, but I am still going with losing a (non-Coors) game with a six run lead
I can’t recall a more aggravating game.
They are piling up right now.
Losing a 7-1 lead didn’t do it for you?
LMAO
For sheer aggravation, no.
Why not go for the suicide squeeze here? Kersh is a good bunter.
Not with two strikes, though.
Agreed. I meant at the beginning of the at bat.
Good idea. Suicide or Safety Squeeze.
Miér…¡coles!
Zelmo ropes one!
What is going on is simply unbelievable.
Very disappointing.
Okay WBB. I agree.
Terrible day.
I had a grandson for the night so we watched Wall E while the game was happening. It helped! Great movie.
Bad throw Mookie.
Pffffffffffffffffffft
Seager over ran it.
Of course.
Ain’t nothin’ easy these days.
Crap!!
One more out. Please!!!
DP time please.
Even better.
Yeah – but that K was fun to see!
Really could use a strikeout here.
I’ll settle for a popup.
That’ll work.
Too little too late I fear.
If Mitch was available to pitch maybe they should have brought him in a bit earlier than bases loaded and no outs.
Exactly. I mean, seriously? Has Doc lost it as well?
Not his best night that’s for sure.
Sometimes he just baffles me.
This is not looking good.
Nowhere close.
So, walk the weak hitter to turn the order over?
I think throwing any strikes at all is a challenge.
Mookie has not yet fully found his mojo since the back injury.
No, not even close.
That decision to steal was not good baseball instincts. And he has the best usually.
Agreed.
Not a good finish to a good start of the inning.
Up to Vespa. Uhh I mean Vesia.
Rats!!
Oh yikes Seager. That was not a good pitch.
Ok Mookie – use those wheels and steal second.
Or not…
Oh dear.
Kid has a couple of runs to work with.
Now get him in from 3rd.
Exactly.
Willie smokes it!
YES!!!
Truly great AB by Smith!
Woo-Hoo Will!!
Triple and 2 rbis!!!
Let’s go!!!
CT3 swung at a bad pitch early in his at bat and had a ball hit the knob of his bat. Otherwise they would have had bases loaded at this point with no out.
Let’s see what Smith can do.
When do the Brewers send up one of their pitchers to hit?
Pollock air mailed it. Crummy throw.
Brutal throw AJ.
Need a DP here.
Now set up for the rare quadruple play…
Out at any base?
Sets up the triple play for that matter…
At least starting with the runner at 2nd, a lead off walk isn’t terrible.
Well, sets up the DP.
This might not end well…
I really don’t get not bunting when you have a pitcher pinch hitting and have a runner on third with less than 2 outs.
Me either. And Kersh is considered an above average bunter. That’s Roberts for you.
C’mon AJ, be a hero.
Up to AJ…
Dodger depth has Kershaw pinch hitting – again.
C’mon Kersh, put this game on ice.
Perfect situational hitting!
Sweet
OK, that’s better.
Smith scores!
Need JT or Max to do damage.
How does Barnes not get to third on that?
Good point.
Darn, just missed. Rats!!
Extra innings.
Safe!
The umpiring often ranges from inconsistent to lousy, but that’s not why we’re 3-9.
Agree, though of course a team that builds its offense through plate discipline is at a disadvantage when umps are inconsistent.
That’s part of it.
Hope that walk doesn’t come back to bite the Dodgers.
Strike three is ball four. Again.
Squeezed again!
None of the seven pitchers we have used tonight has an ERA above 2.00. That’s remarkable. (I’m looking for positive takeaways.)
When was the last time Kenley entered a tie game at the start of the 8th inning? I can’t recall that.
Right-handed reliever with an ERA above 4.50 comes in and strikes out Seager. I know things like that happen, but everything going bad for us has become enlarged. I cannot ever recall the Dodgers going through what is now a two-week hitting funk/slump such as this one. Six hits is frequently our limit these days.
Muncy agrees with you.
Among others, Muncy is killing us. He is now 2-for-39.
He now needs a day off, but he’s one of few totally healthy players
He hit below .200 last year in the abbreviated season and I was worried about him at the start of this year. He got off to a blazing start, but since then . . ..
Even our red hot Beaty fails!
I returned from a long walk. What happened to May?
Not sure yet. He grimaced after releasing a pitch.
Dodgers only saying “arm injury” at this point, but his reaction was not good.
Oh, brother. With all the injuries to our pitching staff that’s kind of like hitting a second iceberg.
Thanks, but ouch.
It looked really bad. I’m guessing UCL and TJ.
Got him.
Not so sure here.
Never in doubt.
It was doubtful.
The ump and the replay challenge came up with the same conclusion.
Pitching provides hope.
If the Dodgers had won 9 of their last 12, I would be enjoying this one quite a bit. Minus the injury to May of course.
Offense snatches it away.
VG outing by Alexander, who’s going to get more innings now, I suspect.
Already led the team in appearances coming into the game.
Not usually high leverage.
Never before the 7th. 5-2-7 in terms of high, medium and low leverage appearances.
It was a pleasant change of pace to watch a game with a dominant pitching performance that turned into a laugher.
Does nobody realize this is an afternoon game?
Treinen really worked out of one in the eighth.
Unfortunately, Link and I ran into another glitch, so my posts will be limited to here (hopefully Link, about to undergo surgery, will be back by the weekend).
Yikes. Bad start.
Also – Reds not Brewers. 😉
No one here–burn out?
Briefly here to check the score while travelling on a bus for a school excursion
Ah just realised, a few game posting in advance from link
One of my favorite Dodgers. https://twitter.com/DodgersArchive/status/1389428355213242370?s=20
Great stuff. Thank you.
The Dodgers claimed Phil Bickford off waivers from the Brewers and designated Mike Kickham for assignment in order to add the right-handed relief pitcher to their 40-man roster.
Bickford, 25, has appeared in two Major League games in his career, allowing a combined six runs on six hits in two innings with the Brewers. He was originally selected by the San Francisco Giants in the first round (18th overall) of the 2015 Draft out of the College of Southern Nevada.

Who do you think will take May’s place in the starting rotation?

So, Joc’s non-Dodger debut must wait another day. https://twitter.com/MLBastian/status/1389317554372493312?s=20
Today in Dodgers History
May 3rd
1947
The Pirates deal five-foot, six-inch reserve outfielder Al Gionfriddo
to the Dodgers for five players and a hundred thousand dollars in cash,
delivered by the diminutive flycatcher when he arrives in Brooklyn. The
Bucs received Hank Behrman, Dixie Howell, Gene Mauch, Cal McLish, and
Kirby Higbe, a former 20-game winner from South Carolina, made
expendable due to his comments about playing with his new teammate
Jackie Robinson, the first black to play in the major leagues this
century.
2004
Similar to last season, the aging outfielder Rickey Henderson re-signs
with the Atlantic League’s Bears, hoping for a shot of returning to the
big leagues. The 45 year-old future Hall of Famer batted .339, hit eight
home runs, drove in 33 runs, scored 52 runs, and stole nine bases for

Tommy John surgery for Dustin May: https://www.mlb.com/dodgers/news/dustin-may-injured-ucl-in-right-elbow
Taylor has scored 5 runs today. The club record, in Brooklyn or Los Angeles, is 6, set by Green in his 4-HR game in 2002. I haven’t done Rotisserie baseball in about a dozen years, but I did that year and Green was on my roster.
Bottom
Of the order with single, HR, double… no bueno.
All in 9 pitches.
Kickhim is an ex-Gnat.
Some players are more fragile than others. https://twitter.com/SteveKronerSF/status/1388939683770507266?s=20
Ok AJ here’s your chance to get to 7 RBI’s yourself.
Yep!
Mission accomplished.
Another two for Zelmo! Beaty may be the new James Loney.
I remember that game in Colorado.
Buehler vs. Hendricks in Chicago tomorrow, 4:40 p.m. West Coast time. (That’s 6:40 for you, WD, as if you didn’t know.)
For those, like me, who don’t subscribe to any of the packages, it is on MLBTV.
Thanks Scoop!
The Dodgers will pick up a game on either the Giants or the Padres. San Francisco leads San Diego 4-1 in the 4th now.
Well, that was a pleasant sojourn. May it continue tomorrow in Chicago. May you all be well, particularly Link.
I wish I knew where he was, (which hospital), so I could send a card.
I can send you his cell phone for a DM.
Thank you.
Agreed. All the best to you out there as you continue to recover Link!
KK-ickham!
When the going gets tough, Kickham gets going.
Dodgers win.
No exclamation points today?
I’m still miffed with them for the past 2 weeks. Lol.
I almost went with: Dodgers don’t lose!
Winnipeg Dave – how uncharacteristic of thee.
A few more wins and I’ll be back to my more charitable self I’m sure. And more liberal with the exclamation marks!
I hung onto your “this losing streak is good for the team” for several more losses, before I… lost it!
Me too!
Woo-HOO!!!!’
Suddenly finding the strike zone.
K- ickham!
For me, using a pitcher for this half inning who can actually shut the game down is worth it. But I am not a manager. What do I know?
I’d go with a position player over this guy…
It looks like the Dodgers have found a good batting practice pitcher.
Where have you gone Zac Rosscup? (I believe the last Dodger to wear number 59.)
I think he ended up in Seattle at first, but he’s now in the Rox org.
Others, besides Rosscup, who have worn #59 for the Dodgers include Ismael Valdez and Guillermo Mota.
He’s all over the place.
So is the ball once they hit it.
I wish this were cleaner. Or even clean-ish.
Don’t hit ‘em, Kickham!
Can Kickhim hold ’em?
Ha! Good one!
One two three, Kickham.
While their down!
At least that strike three was legit.
Beaty and Pollock – what have you done for me lately? Striking out. Lol
Watch it happen again… no faith in the umps any more.
Beaty robbed of the walk but I get why. I guess.
Matt jobbed!
Indeed!
Let’s go AJ. Swing away.
Up come the big guns.
Here comes Beaty…
We haven’t scored more runs in a game since March 30, 2019, the third game of that season, when we tallied 18 runs.
When Texas beat Baltimore 30-3, their 8 and 9 hitters both had 7 RBI’s.
Kickham’s ERA as a Dodger: 27.00.
Sounds about right.
There’s three!
I wonder what time he arrived from the training camp in Arizona?
Really early this morning I think I heard.
Gotta cut him some slack for that.
Yes, we should. Flew in on a red-eye then.
There’s one.
If he is going to get 6, hopefully it doesn’t take 22 pitches per out.
Or 25.
Brewers fans are loud.
Sometimes it is easier to be loud when it is a blowout (either winning or losing).
As in, not tense? Ironic cheers?
The loudmouths stand out.
Yes to both.
At 32, Kickhim isn’t a kid.
And… a walk. One triple and it’s a cycle plus!
When I saw that the Dodgers had called Kickham up, I looked at his stats. They were, to put in mildly, not impressive, as previously noted.
21 pitches and no outs.
Beaty butchered that one, but we can cut him some slack.
I doubt Kickhim will be around long.
Yeah, he’s not impressing so far.
He entered the game with a MLB career ERA of 9.95 in 44.1 innings.
16-3 was the score in the Shawn Green game I believe.
That is correct.
Doesn’t matter now…
Okay, Kickham. Kick ‘em!
Singing Dirty Laundry by Don Henley…
Bases loaded! Just need Rios to unload to get to 3 Grand Slams!
Lux breaks into the RBI club today.
AJ – 8
Beaty – 7
Lux – 1
Beaty/Pollock show continues.
AJ!
Torn between wanting another GS and wanting AJ to get to 10 RBI’s.
This ties the Dodgers’ record of 2 grand slams in one game, established three times previously:
Jimmy Sheckard and Joe Kelley in 1901: https://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/CIN/CIN190109230.shtml [the team was then known as the Brooklyn Superbas}
Mariano Duncan and Pedro Guerrero in 1985: https://www.baseball-almanac.com/box-scores/boxscore.php?boxid=198508230MON

Two innings left to break the team record and tie the Yankees who had a game with 3 GS.
Rios just had that opportunity.
Superb job today by Julio!
Superb(a) job?
Nicely done Julio!
Urias vs Urias. This round goes to Urias, J.
11% of Beaty’s career RBI’s have come in this game. (7 of 62)
1.9% of AJ’s RBI’s have come today (7 of 359).
Both Beaty and Pollock have more RBI’s than Shawn Green had vs Milwaukee when he hit 4 hrs, a double and a single. Green only had 6 RBI’s.
I don’t know who needed this game more – the team, or their fans.
Perhaps us!
This is surreal.
Let’s hope it continues into next week.
Okay now I can REALLY relax.

Alineación del domingo. https://twitter.com/DodgerYard/status/1388893628605534217?s=20
Worst game of the season, by far.
Is this a prediction or a repetition?
Yesterday’s game.
YMMV.
Pleased to see you acknowledge the proper measure of overland distance.
May injury really colored things, but I am still going with losing a (non-Coors) game with a six run lead
I can’t recall a more aggravating game.

Okay WBB. I agree.
Terrible day.
I had a grandson for the night so we watched Wall E while the game was happening. It helped! Great movie.
Bad throw Mookie.
Pffffffffffffffffffft
Seager over ran it.
Of course.
Ain’t nothin’ easy these days.
Crap!!
One more out. Please!!!
DP time please.
Even better.
Yeah – but that K was fun to see!
Really could use a strikeout here.
I’ll settle for a popup.

Let’s go!!!
CT3 swung at a bad pitch early in his at bat and had a ball hit the knob of his bat. Otherwise they would have had bases loaded at this point with no out.

Let’s score 2 or more this inning. Just for fun.
https://twitter.com/billplunkettocr/status/1388694446267506689?s=20
Live to see another inning.
Vesia does seem to have a live arm.
Kid showed some Moxie there.
When do the Brewers send up one of their pitchers to hit?
Pollock air mailed it. Crummy throw.
Brutal throw AJ.
Need a DP here.
Now set up for the rare quadruple play…
Out at any base?
Sets up the triple play for that matter…
At least starting with the runner at 2nd, a lead off walk isn’t terrible.
Well, sets up the DP.
This might not end well…
I really don’t get not bunting when you have a pitcher pinch hitting and have a runner on third with less than 2 outs.
Me either. And Kersh is considered an above average bunter. That’s Roberts for you.
C’mon AJ, be a hero.
Up to AJ…
Dodger depth has Kershaw pinch hitting – again.
C’mon Kersh, put this game on ice.
Perfect situational hitting!
Sweet
OK, that’s better.
Smith scores!
Need JT or Max to do damage.
How does Barnes not get to third on that?
Good point.
Darn, just missed. Rats!!
Extra innings.
Safe!
The umpiring often ranges from inconsistent to lousy, but that’s not why we’re 3-9.
Agree, though of course a team that builds its offense through plate discipline is at a disadvantage when umps are inconsistent.
That’s part of it.
Hope that walk doesn’t come back to bite the Dodgers.
Strike three is ball four. Again.
Squeezed again!
None of the seven pitchers we have used tonight has an ERA above 2.00. That’s remarkable. (I’m looking for positive takeaways.)
When was the last time Kenley entered a tie game at the start of the 8th inning? I can’t recall that.
Right-handed reliever with an ERA above 4.50 comes in and strikes out Seager. I know things like that happen, but everything going bad for us has become enlarged. I cannot ever recall the Dodgers going through what is now a two-week hitting funk/slump such as this one. Six hits is frequently our limit these days.
Muncy agrees with you.
Among others, Muncy is killing us. He is now 2-for-39.
He now needs a day off, but he’s one of few totally healthy players
He hit below .200 last year in the abbreviated season and I was worried about him at the start of this year. He got off to a blazing start, but since then . . ..
Even our red hot Beaty fails!
I returned from a long walk. What happened to May?
Not sure yet. He grimaced after releasing a pitch.
Dodgers only saying “arm injury” at this point, but his reaction was not good.
Oh, brother. With all the injuries to our pitching staff that’s kind of like hitting a second iceberg.
Thanks, but ouch.
It looked really bad. I’m guessing UCL and TJ.
Got him.
Not so sure here.
Never in doubt.
It was doubtful.
The ump and the replay challenge came up with the same conclusion.
Pitching provides hope.
If the Dodgers had won 9 of their last 12, I would be enjoying this one quite a bit. Minus the injury to May of course.
Offense snatches it away.
VG outing by Alexander, who’s going to get more innings now, I suspect.
Already led the team in appearances coming into the game.
Not usually high leverage.
Never before the 7th. 5-2-7 in terms of high, medium and low leverage appearances.
Suddenly the strike zone is postage-stamp size.
Microdot size.
STRIKE THREE! Ump!
¡Obvio!
Not even close.
Pitiful.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y5dgIlbR-wQ
Well, Mookie’s heating up.
Nelson may be auditioning for a starting spot.
The arbitrary strike zone is back!
Bradley not used to this park yet.
A little surprised that Bradley, a really good CF, botched that one.
RBI triple! Go Corey!
https://twitter.com/ericstephen/status/1388642544901255168?s=20
Phew.
Not great walking the pitcher.
A bit of a drop off from May to Cleavinger. Will need the bats to show up tonight for sure.
I hate seeing young pitchers get hurt.
Treatment has advanced such, however, that they have fairly good chances of returning.
I’m guessing it’ll be quite a while.
Very likely
Gonsolin, Grateral, Price, Knebel, Kelly, May…
Caleb and who else?
Kahnle?
MLB.com had just pegged him to be the NL Pitcher of the Month.
Next year, maybe, but probably not by May.
That’s a bit of a quick hot take on what the injury might be, don’t you think?
That looked really serious, wincing in pain. I’m guessing UCL.
No offence but I think I will wait for the official medical report.
I take no offense.
Six counting May plus two more we knew were out for the year.
We’ll probably see him next year.
How many hurt pitchers does that make?
Just when you think things can’t get worse…
He knew immediately.
So awful for him, and for us. Snake bit pitching staff right now.
Argh!
Oh no. May hurt on that pitch.going out.
This looks bad.
Arg.
Nice first inning, Dustin.
Mookie!!!
Mookie blast!
I’d sure like us to jump out to an early lead of 3 runs or more, but wouldn’t we all?
There’s a start!

No update from Link at this end (I’ve DM’d him), but here’s the lineup. https://twitter.com/SportsNetLA/status/1387856247597142018?s=20
WBBsAs: You’re posting on Game 28. Your posts should be under Game 26…
Link has authorized me to post above, but there has been a glitch and I’m waiting for him to reply on that, presumably before his scheduled surgery this afternoon. Meanwhile, https://twitter.com/Dodgers/status/1387476794064793600?s=20
Woo-Hoo, win streak!!
It was a pleasant change of pace to watch a game with a dominant pitching performance that turned into a laugher.
Does nobody realize this is an afternoon game?
Treinen really worked out of one in the eighth.
Unfortunately, Link and I ran into another glitch, so my posts will be limited to here (hopefully Link, about to undergo surgery, will be back by the weekend).
Yikes. Bad start.
Also – Reds not Brewers. 😉
No one here–burn out?
