  1. Hinch, of course, was in the opposing dugout during the 2017 WS. Supposedly he opposed the trash can thing. Apparently couldn’t control his own team, but is said that have demolished the monitor on at least two occasions with a bat.

  2. Well, I am glad I missed today's game. But, when is the last time we'd blown a five-run lead in the 9th inning?

    • Seems that it has happened six times. Most recently in 2006 against the Padres.

    • As long as Canada can beat Uruguay tonight I’m good. But to be honest, that is not very likely.

      • Don’t think the Uruguayans have as much invested in the game as the Canadians, so there is a chance.

  3. There have been a few bumps along the road this year. This is one of the biggest.

  4. Going back to last night’s game, the Dodgers have scored a run or more in 8 out of 10 innings.

  5. Frustrating that Dodgers get so many base runners and can only plate a couple.

    • Dodgers are league average at 31% of base runners scoring. Snakes lead at 34%. (If I am reading BR correctly)

  7. On July 13, 1934, Babe Ruth, the Sultan of Swat, hit a milestone that had spectators on their feet: his 700th home run. In a matchup against the Detroit Tigers, this mammoth blast helped the Yankees clinch a 4-2 victory.

    On July 13, 1943, history lit up the night as the All-Star Game turned on its stadium lights for the very first time at Shibe Park. The American League claimed the victory with a 5-3 score.

    During the 1971 All-Star Game, Reggie Jackson, one of baseball’s legendary hitters, stepped up to the plate and delivered a swing for the ages. His colossal home run was not just any shot; it was one of six on the day that propelled the American League to a triumph. The ball soared so high it smacked the light tower above the right-field roof of Tiger Stadium in Detroit.

    No Dodger moments found.
