Game 42, 2023

Posted on by

Twins at Dodgers, 7:10 PM PDT, TV: Bally Sports North, SPNLA

RHP Pablo López (2-2, 3.47 ERA) takes the mound for the visiting Twins and RHP Noah Syndergaard (1-3, 6.12 ERA) does so for the Dodgers. We’ll have to see whether Syndergaard’s cut finger has healed.

Today in Dodgers’ history:

  • 1919 After 12 scoreless innings at Ebbets Field, the Reds score ten runs in the 13th inning to beat Al Mamaux and the Dodgers, 10-0. Cincinnati starter Hod Eller, who tossed a no-hitter in his previous start, is the beneficiary of the blowout.

  • 1956 Sal Maglie, obtained on waivers by Cleveland last season from the Giants, is shipped to the Dodgers for a hundred dollars after impressing Brooklyn in an exhibition game. The ‘Barber’ will post a 13-5 record along with a 2.89 ERA for the eventual NL Champs, finishing second to teammate Don Newcombe in the balloting for both the Cy Young and MVP awards.
  • 1998 On the day the Marlins trade Gary Sheffield, Bobby Bonilla, Charles Johnson, Jim Eisenreich, and Manuel Barrios to the Dodgers for Mike Piazza and Todd Zeile, the team hangs on to beat the Cardinals at Busch Stadium, 8-7. In the first inning, the Fish connect for nine consecutive hits, a franchise record, and score seven runs, all without the help of their recently departed teammates.

  2. This morning – 6am Berlin time – I tuned in just in time to see Yency blow a three-run lead. Still I stuck with it and was rewarded in the end.

  3. Lucky to win this one. 2 for 12 RISP, 9 LOB. 11 SO.
    But, they were worse. 4 for 17 RISP, 15 LOB. 15 SO.

  6. Heyward, Thompson, Peralta. Oh My. The Lollipop Guild. No need to worry Dorothy. We would be better off with flying monkees.

  7. Kenta on the IL, so I guess we won’t see our old friend. Gallo on the other hand is leading off!

    • The kind of performance we used to call “gritty.” He’s got a rubber arm.

  26. Mookie so humble – he will let Freddie – scratch that – Will win it.

  36. Good news is that we have made it around to the top of the order again.

  64. Hope the next Twin’s pitcher doesn’t get some of these same calls that Bickford got.

    • Probably due for a bit of an implosion. And it might happen in a game the Dodgers still end up winning – despite getting only 4 from their starter.

  112. Kenta is in his last year of that contract he signed with the Dodgers, 8 years $25 million.

    • That was the base. With incentives he had cleared $22 million by the 4th year.

  115. I felt like the 70’s Dodgers would let down after winning a series against their top NL challengers, the Reds so good to see the Dodgers get off to a good start tonight after taking 3 from SD.

  120. You know how when a player’s in a slump it feels like it’s 0-2 before he’s even swung the bat? With our team these days it’s 2-0 before people have reached their seats.

    • I keep hearing Betts and Freeman when Dodgers are being talked about. Need to add Smith. Either that or just say Dodgers and Smith will be playing team X tonight.
