Quique owning this guy with his walks. 80 pitches. 16 are Quique’s.
Outman is going to have to swing at pitches wide of the strike zone with this ump
Thanks. I tried that once, but I will do so again. After all, they are bound for the Library of Congress.
Teo had to swing at the second outside pitch after the strike called on the first outside pitch.
I am having trouble posting messages. The comment box freezes. Any of you having that problem as well?
See my comment below.
Not I.
Yes! Biggio! Color me gobsmacked!
We really need Pages, Vargas, Kike, Taylor, Outman, Biggio, and Heyward to step up their games.
Soon enough, the depleted roster will be repleted.
Dodgers, 62 – 43
1st NL West
vs
Astros, 54 – 49
1st AL West
Wrobleski
LHP, #70
0 – 1, 4.40 ERA
vs
Blanco
RHP, #56
9 – 5, 2.75 ERA
Lineup:
DH Ohtani L
C Smith R
2B Lux L
LF Hernández, T. R
RF Heyward L
CF Outman L
3B Hernández, K. R
1B Biggio L
SS Ahmed R
Lux moving on up. Over the past two weeks (10 games) his OPS of 1.196 is second on the team only to Ohtani at 1.220.
Patience has its rewards. He missed all of last year after putting up these numbers in 129 games in 2022: .276/.346/.399/.745 and tied for the NL lead in triples with 7.
Dodgers need to get an OF'er yesterday. Another miserable game where the outfield goes 1 for 14 with seven strikeouts.
Sometimes its best to stop playing with the outfield and live with 3 regulars and for me that would be Hernandez, Outman, and Pages.
Have to agree with you there Bum. The constant shuffling is not working.
This one hurts.
Because it’s them.
Yeah, that has a lot to do with it. But, blowing a 5 run lead is just painful no matter who it is.
Also not able to see others’ comments and can’t tell who they are.
Rule One Violation.
What a (expletive deleted) disaster. Unbelievable.
This was truly miserable.
I used the same adjective but it didn’t post for some reason. Still, misery loves company.
I saw your miserable post.
I also saw it.
Over half was awesome.
A good start by Wrobleski followed by bad relief.
You know, AF, you don’t have to wait until July 30 to acquire needed players. Other clubs are doing it already.Just saying.
They scored 5 runs without Betts and Freeman and had a good game from their starter so maybe today's game showed a need for a reliever?
Or two.
We still have Brusdar, Grove and Brasier out there somewhere.
Well, that relieved the tension.
Yep
Just a soul-sucking series of late inning disasters.
Miserable game.
sigh
Well, at least that happened.
Nice job by Treinen.
It wasn't close.
Lots of content unavailable. Is that RBI that I can't see?
Will brought his glove to the game, at least.
Will Will call for a slider again?
I’m officially resigned to this being a rigged game.
Well AF, I guess it is becoming apparent what we need at the deadline.
The Astros seem to have made a deal with the you-know-who.
No relief in sight
Can't stick with Hudson here!
Just a truly horrible game.
It’s had its ups and downs for sure.
Who did you reply to Bob. All I see in Content unavailable
To rbi, who remarked that it’s been a horrible game
Fun to see the Altuve SO though.
Unbelievable.
Holy Crap.
Hudson not in command.
ARRRgh
Our version of the Big O.
Biggio more and more likeable
Nice play by Biggio. He is having a game!
Biggio did one of those yesterday as well.
Biggio’s home run looming large.
Biggio glove!
Weird outfield fence
Ugh.
Dodgers, 16 SO in 31 AB.
Maybe they should play some pickle ball.
And 16 yesterday.
Will not seeing ‘em so well.
He is in an 0-for-18 funk.
Let’s get the kid his first MLB win.
C'mon Will. You are so overdue.
Maybe because his Dad was watching? But good on you, Biggio!
They were saying on the radio that his dad could not really outwardly cheer because he works for the Cheaters.
RBI: Your last post had no comments.
Which one? (Kidding- I know you can’t see it.) I’m not seeing any blanks.
I can't believe what I just saw…
Thank you, Jack Buck.
Biggio with the big fly!
I was completely unfamiliar with Banda before this season. We are his 8th team in 8 years and his career mark is 8-8.
He's been pretty good.
Can Quique go 4-for-4?
BIGGIO! YES!!!
Out of the eight Astro hits I feel
like five or six were softly hit.
Pull the ball in play and good things can happen. We strike out too much.
Maybe go to Banda next time? Woot!
That was only the second inning in these two games in which we didn’t have any strikeouts. A tiny consolation.
Hate that we’re back at the top of their order.
Outman, save us! Stop the… nope.
Outman is the new Trayce Thompson.
Much younger than Trayce, who never had a season as good as Outman's 2023.
I rely on him to save us with his glove.
Theirs land. Ours get caught.
Wrobleski leaves the game with a shut out going with 2 outs in the sixth.
Midwest High A last year, 67 innings AA and 10 innings AAA this year. That's all.
One more hitter at most but mostly saying it was too bad he had to absorb those two runs.
Geeze. I wonder if Doc is second-guessing the decision to pull a pitcher who was absolutely dealing for a reliever who has been struggling…
That's what Doc does.
Again and again and again ad Infinitum. It vanishes somewhat during a 162-game season, but it is fully exposed in the postseason.
Comes with the territory. Was the right decision, even though it didn’t work out this time.
Thanks for this perspective. It’s why I asked. I honestly didn’t know what the right decision was here.
He might have given him another batter, given the 5 run lead.
I know I would have. Let him try to finish the 6th.
You have to remember that he had already given up two sharp singles and made a mistake pitch to Alvarez that thankfully stayed in the park. The next batter was a righty. The only hard hit balls in the inning were given up by Wrobleski.
As well, Diaz had already hit the ball sharply against him including a single.
It was not the right decision. Wrobs should have been allowed to continue.
He's barely pitched above AA until very recently. It was a reasonable move.
Moreover, we need Phillips to regain his magic. That won’t happen if he is buried in the pen. Good fire jumping spot for him.
What was that?
See below. Astros have been doing this for weeks and weeks now. Bloops and dunks and dribbles all getting through.
Make that three cheapies.
It’s not EP, it’s these ridiculous bloop hits etc.
They are line drives in the box score.
My Mariners-fan friend says the Astros have been doing this for the entire run they are on: bloop
hits landing, double plays avoided by the extra bounce, etc. etc.
Three hitters
Four hitters
What are you waiting for, Doc?
Phillips mostly not doing it lately.
Those were two cheapies.
Make that three.
The world still looks like a flat head screw
He has been a liability lately.
Wrobleski having to watch and wait to see how many runs are charged to him
Ack!
Rats!!!
Shoot. Gotta get out three here, EP.
Yep. Got away with one there.
Whoa, lucky break.
Bear down, Justin.
Every hit was a dunk or a dribble. Until Altuve’s, that is.
Time to turn two TTTT
Hit too slowly
I like it better when the Dodgers get the bloop hits
Snell — I did not misspell it — has 15 Ks and has allowed 2 hits in 6 innings, but the Giants lead only 1-0.
The most amazing part of that description is that he made it to the 6th! How many pitches?
103, 66 for strikes, let's see where he ends up on Tuesday.
Gnats reliever immediately ties it up.
That was dumb.
Don't go swimming in a snake infested river
Quique's OBP is soaring.
Quique part Egyptian
Dove
Justin! He’s a keeper!
Like I said, pleasantly surprised!
Outman mimics Pages, who mimics Outman, who mimics Pages, who . . .
Outman had a couple of good swings. He needs to find an approach to the high strike because it is eating him up. What used to be called a tomahawk swing comes to mind.
Good call on pinch hitting for Heyward even if it didn't work out and another good call letting Outman hit
Even though we were leading, 2-0, this game was feeling somewhat dreary. Change one letter, and it is feeling somewhat dreamy.
You are a very demanding fan. I didn’t see anything dreary about Quique taxing their pitcher, Biggio getting a double and rbi, Ohtani smacking one 443 ft, and our rookie pitcher taming their bats.
No, I was referring to the description of yesterday's game, I believe by RBI, in using the word dreary for today: 2 runs on 2 hits until the 5th. And yes, perhaps I am too demanding.
Also, all those Ks.
Way to many SO's.
I said "dreary" yesterday.
Pages sinking like a rock.
What do we do? Outman, in his third visit to the Dodgers this season, has not demonstrated he is the answer. We need a new centerfielder.
I could use a laugher tonight.
I am starting to chuckle a bit.
Ohtani fast.
Lux hot!
He is now on a 12-for-22 tear.
Maybe he won't get DFA'd.
After a trade with the Scrub Jays this morning, the Sawx will now feature a Jansen-Jansen battery in some games.
Lately, where there is a Will there is not a way.
2 for 24 in last 7 games with 7 SO and 1 RBI.
And now, Ahmed gets on! Woot!
Heyward returns to the Interstate. Outman is a long way from exiting it.
Heyward has been a huge disappointment this year.
A poll, who is more loathsome?
A. Altuve
B. Bregman
Altuve. But not by much.
I agree with OD.
I don't do loathsome
Sweet!!
Love having Outman out there!
Meanwhile, Justin keeping his pitch count low.
Dodgers fanned 16 times yesterday. They have fanned 8 times today in four innings. So 24 of our 39 outs have been Ks. Yet, the Dodgers are right in the middle of the pact, in 8th place, in the NL in team strikeouts.
Quique selective.
Blanco at 80 pitches already.
16 of them to Kiké!
Better at bat by Outman.
Heyward sinking. Maybe he should take a page from Outman's book and swing less.
I am tired of hearing about the Percy Jackson books between innings on Extra Innings
A test. If one or more of you can read this, please respond. Thank you.

Altuve caught stealing? Seven years late, but I'll take it.
Glove work.

Lux is not the best at turning the DP.
Very slow grounder with a fast runner.
So I have been hearing but I didn't see where he was slow other than maybe working with a new dp partner.
Most of the stuff I have read and heard refers to his footwork not being optimal.

That was not a bad take by Outman.
What about the first two?
Outman gets jobbed.
He could have tried to protect the plate a little harder.
Looking over our lineup it really is the B-team for the most part. I will be very pleasantly surprised if we win this game.

Ha, Orel gingerly implying that there is bad blood between the teams.
The latest on Freddie Freeman's hospitalized son is below. Nothing really new:
July 27: 1B Freddie Freeman placed on Family Emergency List; C Hunter Feduccia recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City Freeman, who flew back to Los Angeles on July 26, was placed on the Family Emergency List as he tends to a family matter. There’s no timetable for Freeman’s return, but he will not play in Houston and his status for the two-game series against the Padres in San Diego is also up in the air.
Adding Feduccia to the active roster was the easier decision for the Dodgers, as they don’t have to clear a 40-man roster spot. Feduccia gives the Dodgers another left-handed bat off the bench in Freeman’s absence.
How Randy Arozarena said good-bye to Tampa Ban fans after being traded to Seattle:
(You may need to scroll down to see this, which is worthwhile)
Tampa is 28th in attendance, so he was probably able to say goodbye to each and every one.
Today in Dodgers History
July 27th
1918 After Harry Heitman gives up hits to four consecutive batters in his major league debut in the Robins' 22-7 loss to the Cardinals, skipper Wilbert Robinson pulls him from the Ebbets Field contest. The 21-year-old Brooklyn rookie right-hander will never hurl again in the big leagues, ending his career with an ERA of infinity.
1959 William Shea formally announces the formation of the Continental League, with franchises in Denver, Houston, Minneapolis-St. Paul, New York City, and Toronto. The new major league is the brainchild of the New York attorney who proposed the idea a year after the Giants and Dodgers left the Big Apple to move to the West Coast.
1966 Sandy Koufax strikes out 16 Phillies, and Jim Bunning whiffs 12 Dodgers in the first 11 innings of a pitching duel between future Hall of Famers at Chavez Ravine. With both starters out of the game, Los Angeles beats Philadelphia, 2-1, thanks to an unearned run scored in the bottom of the twelfth inning.
1998 Pirates' second baseman Tony Womack establishes a new major league mark by not grounding into a double play in 888 consecutive at-bats. Dodger outfielder Pete Reiser previously set the record in 1946.
2005 Ryan Freel becomes the first player in the Reds' 136-year history to steal five bases in a game, including two in the ninth that moves him to third base, where he scores the eventual winning run on Felipe Lopez's sacrifice fly. The Cincinnati second baseman's thievery contributes to the team's 7-6 victory over the Dodgers at Chavez Ravine.

Tampa is 28th in attendance, so he was probably able to say goodbye to each and every one.
Today in Dodgers History
July 27th
1918 After Harry Heitman gives up hits to four consecutive batters in his major league debut in the Robins' 22-7 loss to the Cardinals, skipper Wilbert Robinson pulls him from the Ebbets Field contest. The 21-year-old Brooklyn rookie right-hander will never hurl again in the big leagues, ending his career with an ERA of infinity.
1959 William Shea formally announces the formation of the Continental League, with franchises in Denver, Houston, Minneapolis-St. Paul, New York City, and Toronto. The new major league is the brainchild of the New York attorney who proposed the idea a year after the Giants and Dodgers left the Big Apple to move to the West Coast.
1966 Sandy Koufax strikes out 16 Phillies, and Jim Bunning whiffs 12 Dodgers in the first 11 innings of a pitching duel between future Hall of Famers at Chavez Ravine. With both starters out of the game, Los Angeles beats Philadelphia, 2-1, thanks to an unearned run scored in the bottom of the twelfth inning.
1998 Pirates' second baseman Tony Womack establishes a new major league mark by not grounding into a double play in 888 consecutive at-bats. Dodger outfielder Pete Reiser previously set the record in 1946.
2005 Ryan Freel becomes the first player in the Reds' 136-year history to steal five bases in a game, including two in the ninth that moves him to third base, where he scores the eventual winning run on Felipe Lopez's sacrifice fly. The Cincinnati second baseman's thievery contributes to the team's 7-6 victory over the Dodgers at Chavez Ravine.
