That would make a lot of Dodger fans happy. I would not miss him.
Most successful manager of the new millennium.
Depends on what criteria you are judging him by.
Lifetime W-L of 809-423 (.626), with seven first-place finishes in eight years. Three NL championships and one World Series championship (plus another he was cheated out of). A record to be envied.
Par for the course.
Yarbrough at 50 pitches, 27 strikes.
Dodgers now have two guys in their history with Honey in their last name.
Just realized that both wore number 40.
Wow. Tough loss yesterday.
Today in Dodgers History
July 14th
1948 The Indians host the Brooklyn Dodgers in the second half of a home-and-home exhibition series to raise funds for the Cleveland Baseball Federation. The 64,877 fans attending the Tribe's 4-3 victory in 11 innings over Brooklyn are delighted when 43-year-old Satchel Paige tosses the three-hitless frames, including striking out the side on 12 pitches in the seventh.
1968 In the nightcap of a twin bill, Don Wilson strikes out eighteen batters in a nine-inning game to tie a major league record, shared by Bob Feller (Indians, 1938) and Sandy Koufax (Dodgers, 1959 and 1962). The Astros right-hander fans future Hall of Famer Johnny Bench for the last out of his 6-1 victory over the Reds on a wind-swept night at Crosley Field.

1995 Ramon Martinez throws the 22nd no-hitter in franchise history when he beats the Marlins at Dodger Stadium, 7-0. The Dodger right-hander, booed by the home crowd in his last outing, walks Tommy Gregg on a 3-2 pitch with one out in the seventh inning, spoiling his bid for a perfect game.
2005 Defeating their historical arch-rivals, the Giants become the first team to win 10,000 games as a franchise by edging the Dodgers in LA, 4-3. The Giants, who started as the New York Gothams in 1899, have posted a 10,000-8,511 record during the club's 123 seasons in the National League.
Unacceptable!!
Tough.
Time for a reset.
You said it! Reinforcements coming, I hope. Sure do miss Mookie.
And Muncy. Never thought I would say that.
I think Ramírez has purchased his ticket to DFA.
Let’s play 10!
Vesia was ready but no….
Why Ramirez Doc???
Dead arms in pen?
Dead brain in the manager.
Uggh
Following today's game, I'll be taking a four-day break over the annual Midsummer Farce. I'll concentrate on cycling and walking the dog(s). See you again on Friday, and look forward to a better second half.
Cycling and dog walking is such a healthy lifestyle. Good on you.
KT3.
Ooof.
Bad future person.
Repetitive comment dude. I think you can put that one to bed.
It never goes out of style.
Could sure use an insurance run or two.
Up to CT3.
On to the 9th. Gulp.
Yay double play!
Good exit velo again for Ohtani.
Lux needs a trip to OKC.
He hasn’t done much for potential trade value that’s for sure.
Nice work by Kenta.
Got him with the high cheese.
This is agonizing.
This guy, again.
My stomach could not handle another inning of Yarbrough.
That should be the end of Yarbrough.
Whew.
Escape artist.
Yarbrough can't anything right lately.
Yarbourgh is living very dangerously here.
Ohtani’s averaged 109mph ball off the bat today. And just one single to show for it.
Fun matchup here.
Not trying to break Rule 5, but just to say I’m thinking of all of you with all that’s happening with your presidential candidates.
Obviously jealous of our "Second Amendment rights…"
Not so much, no.
You mean you don't approve of school shootings?
Distraught.
Phew.
Limit the damage. Get the next guy please.
Double play please.
Yarbs doesn’t seem to have it today.
He's not looked good lately.
True. I used to love him coming out of the pen. Now it’s not as comforting.
He has not pitched well his last 3 times out.
Honeywell pitched just a few days ago, an extended outing with Pitt.
Ok thanks
49 pitches on Wednesday, injury–prone guy.
I don’t understand pulling Honeywell.
Sigh. Why, Doc?
Old friend Kenta Maeda coming in next for the Tigers.
Solid 3 by Honeywell.
Zach Mac has a nice glove there for the Tiggies
He butchered a couple yesterday.
What have you done for me lately. Like in the 10th inning yesterday and here today.
Swing the bat Freddie.
Like this Honeywell kid!
So far so good, but "kid" is a relative term – he's 29 and frequently injured.
When you’re 71…
In baseball terms…
I could use a laugher today.
8 innings of a laugher yesterday didn’t quite do it for anyone.
That never reached laugher status.
I’d take a 5 run lead in the ninth every day of the week.
Too bad we didn't get the last laugh.
Nice start by Honeywell there.
Good job by Rojo to stay in the run down long enough for Pagas to score.
3-0. Good inning!
Ok Luxy. Just a little single here.
Pagas pays it off.
Andy!
Let’s go Teo!
Hey Dave, welcome back.
Thanks OD. I got back late Fri night and was around yesterday for the disaster game.
What a fiasco.

I hope Doc hugs Ramirez when they DFA him.
Can they DFA Roberts with Ramirez?
That would make a lot of Dodger fans happy. I would not miss him.
