Game 139, 2023

Posted on by

Dodgers at Marlins, 3:40 PM PDT, TV: Bally Sports Florida, SPNLA

RHP Ryan Pepiot (1-0, 1.29 ERA) starts for the Dodgers and LHP Braxton Garrett (8-5, 3.88 ERA) starts for the Fish.

Today in Dodgers’ history:

  • 1903 A year before the first subway line is completed, the Brooklyn Superbas, later to be known as the Dodgers, play their cross-town rivals in a two-stadium, same-day doubleheader. The first game played in Washington Park begins at 10:30 am with 9,300 fans watching the visiting Giants win the opener, 6-4, and later that afternoon in front of 23,623 patrons at the Polo Grounds in Manhattan, Brooklyn wins the second game, 3-0.
  • 1916 The Giants defeat the Dodgers 4-1 to start their major league record 26-game winning streak. The ‘Jints’ start the span two games under .500 and make up nine games in the standings, but remain in fourth place during the entire streak.
  • 1962 With four steals in a 10-1 loss to the Pirates, Dodger Maury Wills breaks the modern National League record for stolen bases in a season with his 82nd swipe. Bob Bescher established the mark in 1911, playing left field for Cincinnati.
  • 1964 At Connie Mack Stadium, a Labor Day crowd of 26,390 fans watches the first-place Phillies split a doubleheader with the Dodgers. The attendance for the twin bill brings the season’s total to 1,224,172 patrons, breaking the all-time franchise home attendance record established by the Whiz Kids in 1950.
  • 2001 Shawn Green breaks a franchise record for homers in a season with his 44th home run, the first of two dingers the Dodger right fielder will hit off Dustin Hermanson in the team’s 7-1 victory over the Cardinals at Busch Stadium. The previous mark had been shared by Duke Snider (1956) and Gary Sheffield (2000).

  2. The Los Angeles Dodgers activated J.D. Martinez from the 10-day injured list and optioned Michael Busch to Triple-A Oklahoma City to make room on the active roster.

    By optioning Busch, the Dodgers kept Kolten Wong on their active roster. Though, it wasn’t much of a surprise as Wong would need to be designated for assignment and thus potentially be lost on waivers.

    I wonder if Busch will ever get a legitimate shot with the Dodgers.

    • Probably a wise decision. I imagine the doctors had something to say about him returning too soon. For what he could “maybe” contribute this season, I don’t think it is worth the risk. See you in 2024 Walker.

  11. Not only does this Dodger announcer sound somewhat like Joe Davis, his voice also reminds me of Jacob Burch (who does a podcast with Eric Stephen of True Blue LA).

    • Only about 80 pitches but Roberts was probably wondering how much longer he would let him pitch should the no hit game continued.

  22. I took a well-needed break from the Dodgers and was rewarded when I went to this site to find out we are ahead, 7-0. Abstinence is sometimes the best policy,

  25. Nothing like feeling nervous when the Dodgers are in the field when they are in the midst of a 7-0 game.

  28. Started watching tape after game was an hour long and finally am caught up and get to share fun with you guys.

  29. Night on the town (seeing a Brazilian jazz group). Just checking in. Pepiot our other playoff starter!
