Game 90, 2022

Posted on by

Dodgers at Angels, 7:07 PM PDT, TV: Bally Sports West, MLBN (out-of-market only), SPNLA

LHP Julio Urías (7-6, 3.01 ERA) takes the mound at the Big A (is it still called that?); he’ll face LHP José Suarez (1-3, 4.79 ERA). This will be Urías’s third start in July. His first was a six-inning five-hitter which he won. His second was a two-inning outing in which he hit two guys in the first inning and then gave up a grand slam home run. After all that, he was taken off the hook as the Dodgers wound up winning the game after a six-run third inning. Suarez has also had two starts this month but rather than winning one he lost one. In neither game did he go more than 4 2/3 innings.

Anderson replaces the Giants’ Carlos Rodón. The Giants may want to let him rest as their bullpen is overworked and if he can pitch deeper into games that will help.

This day in Dodgers’ history:

  • 1913 In a game against the Cubs, Superbas’ second baseman George Cutshaw handles 14 chances without an error. The infielder’s defensive prowess helps Brooklyn beat Chicago at Ebbets Field, 4-2.
  • 1948 Brooklyn’s Branch Rickey agrees on a deal with Giants owner Horace Stoneham that releases his manager Leo Durocher to become the Giants’ skipper, replacing the popular Mel Ott. Burt Shotton will take the ‘Lip’s’ place in the Dodger dugout.

On this date in 1990 Steve Lyons embarrassed himself dreadfully by dropping his uniform pants while standing at first base after sliding into the bag to beat out a bunt.

  2. NL West Standings at the All-Star break:
    Dodgers 60-30 —
    Padres 52-42 — 10 games behind
    Giants 48-43 — 12.5
    Rockies 43-50 — 18.5
    Dbacks 40-52 — 21
    Dodgers are 3 1/2 games ahead of the Mets for the best record in the NL, 3 games behind the Yankees for the best record in MLB.
    At the A-S break last year, the Dodgers were 56-35, in second place in the NL West, 2 games behind the Giants.

  3. Freddie Freeman added to the AS roster. Replacing Starling Marte. Still hoping Will Smith gets a spot.

  4. Snakes bite Pads 3-1, so Dodgers finish first half with a 10-game lead (12 in the loss column).

        • You agreed with me on something – are you OK? Seriously, the top of Milwaukee’s rotation could make them very tough in a short series.

          • I try to agree with you on something at least once a year. Phew, I’m glad that’s out of the way. LOL. (And I agree with you regarding the Brewers’ starting pitching).

  7. Arizona used a single and four walks — two with the bases loaded — to score two runs in the top of the 7th and lead the Padres 3-0 after 6 1/2.

  8. Read where they recovered Freemans 1,000 RBI ball and had it waiting in his locker after the game.

  11. Apparently Kershaw is the first guy since the wild card (or maybe since the expansion?) era to have 2 starts in the same season of 7 perfect innings. Or something like that. I was only half listening to Charlie and Rick.

  14. Freddie got to do that 1000th his in front of his family and friends so that makes up for a lot. He sounds very happy about it.

      • And the two losses — one when Kimbrel failed in the 9th vs. the Padres and the other when the Dodgers rallied in St. Louis and lost by one run.

  17. A couple of weeks ago I thought to myself that 60-30 had a nice ring to it, though it didn’t seem feasible at the time.

  27. Watching with one eye tonight. I’m not sure why, since no real baseball for the next several days.

  29. In another universe, someone typed: Marsh!! after his HR. A moment of respect for that brave soul.

    Brave, but ultimately misguided, soul.

  53. The Snakes have blown their lead at The Litterbox, and now trail SD 4-3 in the sixth.

  55. Trout scratched with back spasms. I have had back spasms and it is no fun. Feels like a whole body migraine.

  56. Padres have lost 27 of their last 50 games to drop from 1/2 game back to 9 1/2 games back.

    • “Gold Glover” Grisham turned a bloop single into a run-scoring triple. It’s not the first time.

  60. At Software Stadium, the Gnats just took a 2-1 lead in the eighth on a bogus balk call.

  64. About halfway through Pedro Moura’s “How to Beat a Broken Game: The Rise of the Dodgers in a League on the Brink”. So far some great insights on the development of a number of players and the organization itself under Friedman, and changes in the game.
