Dodgers at Cardinals, 4:45 PM PDT, TV: Bally Sports Midwest, SPNLA
RHP Tony Gonsolin (11-0, 1.62 ERA) brings his unblemished record to the hill to face the Cardinals’ long-time ace Adam Wainwright (6-7, 3.15 ERA). In his last start Gonsolin went seven innings, gave up two runs on four hits and saw his ERA go up for his trouble. Wainwright is 40 years old; he and Kershaw each have 191 career wins (Kershaw has 26 fewer losses). In Wainwright’s last start he gave up two runs on five hits, pitched a complete game and lost 2-0.
Today in Dodgers’ history:
- 2019 The Dodgers got four home runs from Muncy, Turner, Bellinger and Pollock and Ross Stripling got the win as the Dodgers defeated Chris Sale and the Boston Red Sox 11-2.

Hey, you all who’ve been to a game recently, is this guy’s experience at the stadium representative?
Also, I feel like I’ve heard the fan’s name before: Drew Pomerance. Does it ring any bells with you all?
He’s no Drew Pomeranz, and Plaschke is no Roger Angell.
Pomeranz! That’s why the name’s familiar.
I don’t think Plaschke would claim to be Angell. Probably not Jim Murray either.
NPUT
Except for the players, of course – https://twitter.com/Royals/status/1547666333503930368?s=20&t=RKDpk8-QGc3OPGCTbm6oLQ

Woo-HOO!!! Better late than not at all!
Paddies have retaken the lead in Denver, but it’s only the sixth and the Rox are threatening again.
¡Miércoles! (Literally and lunfardo – https://www.todotango.com/comunidad/lunfardo/termino.aspx?p=mi%C3%A9rcoles)
Do we have to fall behind in virtually every game? This is the third straight game in which we have trailed by at least four runs.
Rockies win!! Dodgers up 8.5 games. 10 in the loss column.
For RBI: Woo-hoo!
Rockies up 9-6 going the the 8th inning.
Oh dang. Had company tonight and looks like I missed a classic comeback!
We had it all the way.
Down by 6 runs going into the 7th inning.
Amazing comeback. I missed it! Had a meeting that went late.
Wainwright was going thru us like corn thru a goose thru 5 innings with some help from the home plate umpire. But we ran the pitch count up and got to their bullpen.
Wow, wow and wow!
Awesome win
THAT was effective relief pitching. 7 pitches, 6 strikes, 3 outs.
Game of the year, I daresay!
Don’t say that!
To this point.
Un-Freaking-Believable!!!!
One more Evan.
Great comeback if we can pull this off
Hmm. Phillips replacing Kimbrel.
It makes sense.
New pecking order in the pen.
Kimbrel had already gone an inning, of course.
Usually Evan’s slot.
And Kimbrel gets the win.
I hope so.
Probably not. It seems that Kimbrel was given the 8th because he hadn’t pitched in 4 days.
Would be better to use Phillips like Treinen.
3Ks for Mookie tonight. Wow.
And one big hit.
He did exactly what he needed to do, no more, no less
Hanser with the answer.
Hanser!
Way to go Hanser. I am eating crow. And loving it.
I guess he’s more than a cheerleader.
Got me cheering.
Nice Hanser
In five plate appearances, Muncy is 0-for-0.
An amazing stat.
Bang one Trayce.
Good AB Munce.
Great AB.
Rox have tied it up again in Denver.
Max working on an 0 for…
0 for 0.
0 for 0
Bellinger singles but gets to second? On a throw? How?
Barnes slipped around third and had to hustle to get back. Bellinger took second.
Barnes drew a throw?
Barely got back to third.
And Belli took 2nd.
Holy …….!
Be a hero Cody.
The run Vesia gave up looming large now.
Like Price’s last night.
Meanwhile, in Denver, the Rox have tied the Pads after five, erasing a three-run deficit.
Freeman is due.
Lux has better stats against lefties than Alberto.
Really need Taylor back soon so Alberto can go away.
We need that cheerleader.
¡Uribe!
You’ve got to be kidding Dave.
We are not leaving yet.
Atta boy Willy.
Mookie Muy Frio.
Another Dutchman in the game? (VerHagen could also be Belgian).
Good grief..
Prince Albert smokes one
Running out of time.
A base hit now gets us back in the game.
Packy Naughton sounds like a name out of Dickens.
Longer than Pip
Or Heep.
I can’t begrudge Gonsolin one off-day in half a season, but I still want a comeback tonight.
Hear, hear!
On the other hand, in the last 2 1/2 games Freddie has raised his batting average from .296 to .315.
These batting averages are like yoyos.
True, but as the season progresses, the string on the yoyo becomes less flexible.
Gonsolin’s ERA slips above 2.00, Mookie’s batting average dips below .270.
RALLY TIME!! Clap…Clap
I liked it more when The Catman didn’t give up runs.
Gonzo leaving pitches in the middle of the plate. Getting creamed.
Something tells me that we’re not playing the Cubs anymore.
Was it a little birdy?
Yep.
Or Kansas
And now JT gets hosed.
It wasn’t close.
Wainwright getting the Maddux-Glavin strike zone.
The strike zone is expanding when the Dodgers are at bat.
Crap.
Dangnamit
Rats.
I’m really tired of these bottom-of-the-order guys.
I’m telling you, it’s the smudge stick!
Bear down, Cat-man.
Lars Nootbar. I could say that all day long.
As I said yesterday, that could get you in Dutch.
Excellent.
Mookie gets hosed again.
Wonder why that happens to him so often?
Good question.
I do like seeing Tio Albert again.
I’d like to see him get to 700 – but no more against the Dodgers.
Me, too!
It’s a real long shot, though.
So to speak…
Not likely. He has 685 now.
Running the pitch count up on Wainwright.
But not the run count
Freeman is on fire: 10 hits in his last 12 at bats.
Looks like a thin bench… https://twitter.com/JeffPassan/status/1547328316608241667?s=20&t=6BiL10yPPq48sI2dzkslTQ
Shades of the old Padres with their John Birch Society members.

They were utterly nuts, but they didn’t decline to play.
