Game 92, 2023

Posted on by

Mets-Dodgers game on Sunday moved to 5:10 p.m. ET/2:10 p.m PT

Dodgers at Mets, 2:10 PM PDT, TV: SPNLA, WPIX

RHP Bobby Miller (5-1, 4.50 ERA) goes for the Dodgers if/when the game starts, while RHP Max Scherzer (8-3, 4.31 ERA) goes for the Mets.

Today 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.

Lineups when available.

  4. Robertson instead of Almonte. Use your best available reliever. Way to go Doc.

  7. Rats!! Very disappointing. 1 for 11 RISP. 2 thru 5 hitters 0 for 15, 4 K’s.

  16. It’s a byproduct of starting pitchers who don’t go deep into games: Roberts has now gone to the pen 12 times in this series, and we have allowed only two runs.

    • Given the fragility of the starting pitching, there’s been little alternative.

      • Yes. We need to pick up another starting pitcher (or two) by the trading deadline.

  18. Outman has improved. but he still strikes out nearly 40 percent of his ABs.

  20. Just what the doctor ordered: Vesia needed only four pitches to retire the side.

  22. Sorry, but Max should not be batting 3rd or 4th. Although he does have three walks, he is 1-for-11 in this series with five Ks.

      • I would move Mookie to the No. 3 hole, IF we had someone else who could lead off and get on base. It’s great that Mookie has 10 leadoff homers this season, but think how many more runs we’d score if there were runners on base.

        • Saw an incredible stat as regards Mookie and leading off. It had to do with how many times the bottom of the order got on base and that half of them were then driven in by Mookie or Freddie.

  28. Bullpen in this series: 9 1/3 innings, no runs allowed.
    Starting pitchers; 15 2/3 innings, two runs allowed.

  30. Scherzer ended the 6th inning at 90 pitches. His tops this year is 107. He has gone past the 7th inning only once.

  31. Roberts has now gone to the pen 9 times in this series without using Bickford or Robertson. Are both of them still on the active roster?

  34. Yanquis lose in Denver on a walk-off by Trejo, who’d gone 120 ABs without a homer so far this year.

  38. Surprised McNeil didn’t sit out todays game to preserve his batting average. Freaking chicken ____ way to win a batting title.

      • McNeil sat out game or games at the end of last season to win the battle title.

        • So today’s game is irrelevant. I do recall when Ted Williams played both games of season-ending doubleheader because he didn’t want to hit a rounded-up .400, and he finished at .406.

    • Good question Scoop. He’s got incriminating photos of AF and Feduccia pissed someone off. LOL. Doesn’t make sense to me. Most claim the pitchers love him. Team chemistry??

          • Agreed. As you posted, bring up Feduccia. What Barnes is making is chicken feed on the Dodgers.

      • I don’t think the Bucs “blew” it. They led only once, 1-0, after one inning. The Giants scored three in the second. The Pirates scored single runs in the 6th and 8th to tie the game and send it to the 10th inning.

        • They had the go-ahead run on third with one out in the eighth, but screwed up two squeezes before a K. Their ace reliever then pitched a 1-2-3 ninth.
