Dodgers at Brewers, 4:40 PM PDT, TV: BS Wisconsin, SPNLA
RHP Noah Syndergaard (1-3, 6.32 ERA) takes the mound for the Dodgers and LHP Eric Lauer (3-3, 4.40 ERA) does the same for the Brew Crew.
- 1947 Philadelphia manager Ben Chapman, who admits he had been ‘kinda loud’ in leading his team in verbally abusing Jackie Robinson with racial slurs during yesterday’s game, sends word to the Brooklyn clubhouse that he would like to make amends by posing with the Dodger first baseman for the newspaper photographers. The orchestrated gesture, which Robinson agrees to, admitting later that is one of the hardest things he ever had to make himself do, is prompted by the bad press created by the Phillies manager’s intolerance and the wrath of Commissioner Chandler.
Also on this day: In 2015 with runners on second and third, the Pirates turn the first recorded 4-5-4 triple play in baseball history, recording all three outs entirely on the left side of the infield. The oddity occurs when Yadier Molina lines out to second baseman Neil Walker (1), who throws to third baseman Jung Ho Kang to double up Jhonny Peralta (2), who had strayed too far off the third, and then fields the third baseman’s return throw to triple up Jason Heywood at second base (3).

Graterol threw six strikes to walk that guy. Only got two called.
Definitely got pinched. Those were strikes earlier in the game.
Taylor basically owns left field here. Game 7 2018. MVP for the series.
Good thing we have Kersh going tomorrow. Bullpen is going to be thin.

Insomnia attack at 2:30 am Prague time, so I switched on the game to gratifying results so far.

Dontrelle is Assistant Farm Manager or Assistant to the Farm Manager?
He’s a character. Here’s what was said in March 2021 when he was hired:

MLB has an interesting article which tells the story of baseball head coverings, from straw hats (yes, really) to today’s polyester caps.
