Game 94, 2023

Posted on by

Dodgers at Orioles, 4:05 PM PDT, TV: MASN, SPNLA, TBS (out-or-market only)

RHP Michael Grove (1-2, 6.89 ERA) goes for the Dodgers and RHP Tyler Wells (7-4, 3.18 ERA) goes for the Orioles.

Today in Dodgers’ history:

  • 1939 The Red Sox send 21 year-old farmhand Pee Wee Reese to the Dodgers for $35,000 and a player to be named later (Red Evans), along with three minor leaguers due to a less-than-enthusiastic scouting report filed by Joe Cronin, the team’s current player-manager, who deliberately downplayed the prospect’s talent to keep his own job in the Boston infield. The Louisville Colonels regular shortstop, a future Hall of Famer, will become a crowd favorite, helping Brooklyn to win seven pennants during his 16 seasons with the team.
  • 1949 Jackie Robinson testifies in front of the House Committee on Un-American Activities, reading a carefully worded statement put together with the help of Dodger GM Branch Rickey. The Brooklyn second baseman’s statement makes it clear he disagrees with singer and actor Paul Robeson’s belief that American Negroes would refuse to fight in any war against Russia due to the country’s racial discrimination toward blacks.

  1. Austin Riley just hit third homer of game, and Crackers lead Snakes 13-12 in the sixth. He has seven RBI.

  2. Read somewhere that the Dodgers rookie starters have a combined ERA of over 6.00, but that the team has won like 16 of the 25 starts. Asked about that, one of the hitters said, sarcastically?, that they keep them in the games.

  7. From Inside the Dodgers:

    Clayton Kershaw threw a 37-pitch bullpen session using his entire pitch selection. He reported no pain. If he continues to progress, he is on schedule for his August return.

  15. Nice to have a four-run lead, but all those wasted opportunities — 11 LOB — could well haunt us.

    • It’s very weird seeing it. Changing the configuration to that makes no sense.

        • Forbes only weird later. Build during the dead ball era, when they would rope off part of the outfield so that fans could sit there. Camden was intentionally made weird.

  27. First time experiencing a local blackout as I normally attend the games when the Dodgers visit Baltimore and DC.

  28. No last minute trip up north tonight. Tomorrow night actually attending a farm game. Bowie Baysox (O’s) versus Harrisburg Senators (Nats).

      • Harrisburg probably 2 hours away driving up through Gettysburg. My buddy says that the stadium is on an island in the Susquehanna right by downtown.
