Mookie gets hosed by the ump. Called out on ball 4.
Similar to Freddie last night.
Dunno if I'll see much of today's game – we're scheduled for a walking tour of Juneau in the rain – but Snakes have taken an early 1-0 lead over the Gnats. I rarely watch SF because games are blacked out in the Bay Area.
Skenes sounds like a truly serious prospect, but rooks have their ups and downs.
Who here knows who the MLB leader in men LOB is? It’s none other than Teoscar Hernandez, who has left 136 men on base. Second is Manny Machado with 119. Freeman is 9th with 110, Ohtani is 21st with 104.

Padres lost again to Angels. Giants beat DBacks. Dodgers lead Padres by 7, Giants by 8, DBacks by 8 1/2 and Rockies by 16.
Oh well, whip'em tomorrow.
Dodgers going to end the night out hitting the Pirates and scoring in more innings.
I don’t think tonight’s our night.
Well, we didn't roll over. At least made a game of it.
Some nights.
Darn!!
Really need a hit here. C'mon Shohei.
Gonna have to move Heyward up in the lineup and drop Teo.
Good way to start the inning J-Hey.
I recall reading in one of Bill James’ books that about 50% of the time in baseball, the winning team scores more in one inning than the losing team scores for the whole game. Looks like tonight could be one of those games.
Oh Yarbs. Walks will kill you.
Thar she blows.
Well Rats!!
Hmm. Tricky.
I would say so yeah.
Saw Chapman throw against the Australians in 2009 WBC. Throws harder now than when he was 21.
I suspect that Teóscar's numbers – which ain't bad – would be significantly better with Muncy in the lineup,
Not Mr. Clutch by any means, but was OPS+ 136 in May and 144 over past two weeks.
What? He hasn't done squat the last 2 weeks.
If squat=rbi, you are quite right, but he has been hitting.
No surprise there for No/Oscar.
Padding his lead for runners left on base. 4 more so far tonight. Has 1 RBI in the last 15 games.
Oh Teo. You did battle that at bat.
A hit with RISP actually scores a run?
Was on the verge of driving up to Pittsburg for this series, but had to stick around town. Will see Nats/Braves tomorrow night.
Dave Dudley in reverse…
Let’s go Will!!
Mookie is heading toward .300 from the wrong direction.
Chapman can still throw 103?!
Can the Dodgers hit a 3 run home run off of Chapman tonight please?
Chris Taylor just exited the Interstate.
There's the Grandal we all remember.
Yasmani averaged WAR 3.0 in his last three seasons with us. Not bad at all for a catcher. Willie has been averaging 4.0 the past three years.
Arguably had his best years of his career as a Dodger.
Recall him carrying the team on his back July 2008 with OPS+ 224.
This reliever has an 8-plus ERA, so…
Dodgers finally got a hit with RISP, and it didn't score a run.
Hit it too hard.
In the right spot, it would've scored two.
Oh Lux. An unearned run.
This ump is cloning Angel Hernandez.
And Teoscar leaves three more on, adding to his MLB- leading total.
I hope he is not back next year. I am not impressed.
Totally agree. J.D. was better, but with Shohei as the permanent DH, there was no spot for him.
J.D. was a dream!
And on the Cubs' nickel.
Slim pickin’s this year for NL outfielders, such that he is a likely all star.
Have you checked out the All-Star ballot. AL is loaded. NL is weak.
Ha! Yanks loaded with Judge and Soto.
Anticlimactic.
Ump cost us at least one run.
It could be close by now, but for…
The walk that wasn’t?
Up to Teo.
Bring on the robo umps.
Wow. Ump.
Well, he's been consistent…
Biggest AB of the game thus far right now.
What a terrible called third strike on Betts. A walk could have set up a big inning.
Mookie was robbed.
It's not like this kid needs any extra help.
And now CT snuck on!
I wonder if he remembers how to run the bases.
Ha!
Andy!!!
Pah-Hey!! Yay!!
SHOHEI!!! 7-2. It’s a start!
Pecking away. Would be nice to at least ruffle this kids feathers.
Sho-Boom!!
sigh. CT3 strikes and you’re out
Atta boy Andy. Just get on base.
We have our work cut out for us.
That sac bunt didn’t really hurt the Pirates in the middle of that inning.
Somebody is going to have to eat some innings.
Yarbs I’m guessing will toss a few.
I would have left Paxton in for a couple of more innings. Once they scored 5, it was practically over.
Speaking of serving things up (RBI) and eating – this is a perfect time to go eat dinner with the fam.
I go to prep dinner it is 0-0. Now like 45 seconds later it is 5-0.
whoops 6-0
Paxton doesn’t have anything this inning. Serving them up to Pittsburgh hitters.
We are playing terribly against these guys.
Except for Paxton, the pitching has been impeccable.
He is, however, very peckable.
Ha!
100 games to go.
So far this one is forgettable.
Hey folks, Linky's sister here, I'm posting up multiple games so you all can continue on enjoying the games and each other's company. I'll work on a more permanent solution but for now enjoy the summer, baseball and everything else life has to offer.
Thanks, Lynn! We so appreciate you.
Thanks very much.
Lynn: Thank you. Is there someplace that Link would have liked us to send contributions in his memory?
Not as of yet, this last month was just a blur. But I'm sure it will be something related to literacy programs. His love for books, was out of this world. His personal library would astound any average reader. Steve was one of the smartest people I have ever known.
Come on Yarbs. Let’s shut them down here please.
Can't give up any more runs.
And there's another one to Freddie.
