Dodgers at Mets, 4:10 PM PDT, TV: MLBN (out-of-market only), SPNLA, WPIX
RHP Walker Buehler (12-2, 2.13 ERA) pitches for the Dodgers and RHP Taijuan Walker (7-7, 3.89 ERA) takes the mound for Mets.
Today in Dodgers’ history:
- 1919 In a total of two hours and seventeen minutes, the Dodgers and Cubs split a doubleheader. In the opener, the Cubs blank Brooklyn 2-0, in one hour and ten minutes, and in the nightcap, it takes the Dodgers one hour and seven minutes to shut out Chicago, 1-0.
- 1932 Brooklyn’s 10-inning, 2-1 victory over the Giants at the Polo Grounds makes reliever John Quinn, at the age of 49, the oldest player to win a major league game. Johnny Frederick, who will have a total of only six home runs during the entire season, hits a ninth inning game-tying homer off Carl Hubbell, his fourth round-tripper as a pinch hitter, establishing a new major-league record.
Also, in 2015 the Padres’ Matt Kemp hits a ninth-inning triple to complete the cycle, making him the first player in the 35-year history of the franchise to accomplish the feat. The San Diego outfielder’s home run in the first, single in the third, and double in the seventh contribute to the team’s 9-5 victory over Colorado at Coors Field.

Gnats lost to Rox, and have to face Denver’s best pitcher today.
NPUT
Key K! Fooled the batter and the catcher.
In Arizona tonight, the Pads are getting interesting gamed 7-0 through six.
Couldn’t happen to a better team.
Except for San Fran.
And Houston.
Oh and New York Yanks. And maybe a few others.
But definitely the Pads also.
Haven’t been around for the last few games. Interesting hearing the “Joe Davis has a cold” version of his announcing.
Huh?
It sounds very much like Davis has a cold.
Off to Braves @ Nats (while secretly watching Dodgers @ Mets).
Go Nats (gnot Gnats).
Woo-HOO!!!

.
Any time Bobo Holloman and the St. Louis Browns get mentioned it is a fun night in baseball.
Tyler Gilbert did it!
A no hitter in his first start in MLB! Give him the Rookie of the Year award. Lol
Good for him and the DBack fans. They needed something to cheer about.
Agree completely.
One more out to go in AZ.
Pads still getting interesting gamed through eight, with Snakes starter at 91 pitches.
The Bickford Files: Episode #37. Back in the NY groove.
Undefeated in extra innings! (This weekend)
Yippee!
Dodgers win!!
BALLGAME!!!!!!
Hope Cory is K-able.
You misspelled K-pable.
Ohhh. Good one!
2 out!
Rats. Strikes out on ball four up and out of the zone.
Wild pitch would do!
McKinney is not a very good hitter.
Big Red in the Big Apple. Let’s go JT
Revenge for the DFA?
I mean the best revenge is good living – which is exactly what JT has been doing in LA.
But yes.
JT sighting
Belli. Redemption.
Nice! Belli with the crazy double.
The ump show is back!
Taylor got jobbed.
Robbed, jobbed, sobbed.
Yikes that was not even close to the plate.
Mextra innings again vs the Mets.
Mextra? Yeah definitely trying too hard to be clever there Dave…
Extended play since we don’t do well in extra innings.
Don’t trust it all turned around after last night’s game?
Or is that just Canadian spelling?
Haha! Too funny.
I honestly laughed out loud!
This game is going to come down to Uceta isn’t it?
Just out of Nats game, where the Braves lapped them six times. Seems that Walker did his part.
Both Walkers pitched very well.
Nuts
Let’s go AJ.
Still 270 feet away.
270 feet away from the lead.
Max gets it started.
Good inning!
Vesia missed his spot but got the k!
Whew!! Way to go Walker. Lets’ get some runs.
Got him!
Now time for the ol’ single out.
Now time for the ol’ double play.
Time for the ol’ triple play
Good Grief Cody.
GameDay showed that last pitch about a foot off the plate.
Maybe Rojas didn’t know that you can’t argue balls and strikes.
That pitch wasn’t especially close.
Nope it wasn’t.
Strike three was even worse, and he swung at it.
Oh dang. That was just foul
Wild pitch please
Taylor walk and a Belli bomb please.
Half way there.
Living on a prayer.
Ha!
Joe was saying Buehler hasn’t lost when the Dodgers have scored in his games. He has only lost when they got 0 runs (including when they got no-hit by the Cubs).
Seager double!
That’s more like it!
Dill Pickle!!
Will Smith!!!
Meanwhile, in Arizona, the Padres are shriveling in the heat 5-0 Snakes in the first.
Guys, at least get a hit off this guy!
Time to open a can on this guy.
Well, at least Ferris gets a walk!
Tremendous effort by McKinney.
Rats.
¡Miércoles en sábado!
Listening while exercising and now getting ready for yet another Leo son’s birthday party. Go Dodgers!!’n
So Walker vs… Walker.

One of us might get called up soon.
Are you a lefty? My dad, who is in his 80’s, figures since he is a southpaw he could still get a few guys out.
I’m righthanded, but I could probably get Eugenio Vélez with my knuckle curve.
True!
Despite my still recovering from ankle replacement surgery.
How you doing with that? How is it healing?
Slower than I would like. It’s been ten months, and still painful though I can walk relatively normally wearing a compression sock. I get most of my exercise through walking the dog and cycling (which is not painful).
I am off shortly before game time today to umpire an adult hard ball doubleheader, so I am hoping the fine group on this site will coax the Dodgers to another victory. I am taping the game and will be watching it quite late. Best to all.
Try not to get overruled on replay.
Good article from Mike P from a couple of weeks ago on how the giants have overachieved this year. I generally prefer when our arch rival is playing well (but not this well!), as it makes beating them more satisfying. The one thing I don’t like is that Grant Brisbee is actually at his best as a writer when they are losing. https://www.mlb.com/giants/news/how-giants-became-2021-most-shocking-contender
Yes, we miss that Grant (for the moment, at least). Mike, though, appears to have overlooked the BALCO™ Flaxseed factor. When declining players in their mid-thirties have a sudden and simultaneous resurgence…
