  1. Just might get lucky and the Rocks will beat the Puds tonight. Leading 5-2, bottom 8th.

  2. Stone comes out with a runner on base and understands the drill. His runner will score via home run.

  3. Bobby Miller scratched from his start tonight because of a strained abductor muscle.
    At the rate he’s going this might just end his year.
    Not looking good for him or Buehler.

  4. Mookie Betts, Max Muncy, Tommy Edman and Miguel Rojas will face live pitching in a simulated game at Dodger Stadium on Thursday per Dave Roberts. Things appear to be progressing well, and Muncy has been swinging for a few days now.

  6. Except for those of us who live in Oakland or nearby, today is MLBTV's free game of the day. I'll be watching with a friend who's an A's fan and has an expensive blackout-free streaming package.

  7. Today in Dodgers History
    August 2nd

    1938 Bright yellow baseballs designed by Frederick Rah, who believes the visibility of the dandelion-hue sphere will help players avoid getting hit by a pitch, are used in the first game of a doubleheader. The one-game experiment draws mixed reactions, and the Dodgers complete their sweep of the twin bill from the Cardinals, 6-2 and 9-3, using the traditional white ball in the nightcap.

    1982 During a ceremony held in Cooperstown, NY, the United States Postal Service unveils a 20-cent stamp commemorating baseball great Jackie Robinson as part of its annual Black Heritage series. The Dodger infielder becomes the first individual baseball player depicted on a U.S postage stamp.

    2002 Commissioner Bud Selig fines Jim Bowden for the comments the Reds general manager made to reporters before yesterday's contest against the Dodgers when he compared a baseball strike to the terrorist attacks of September 11th. Quickly realizing such an analogy was inappropriate and insensitive, the Cincinnati GM apologizes after the game.

    2008 In the first game after the Manny Ramirez trade to the Dodgers, the Fenway Faithful enthusiastically welcome Jason Bay, the player replacing the Boston icon. The former Pirates outfielder doesn't disappoint, tripling and scoring the winning run in the 12th inning of the Red Sox's 2-1 victory over the A's.
