Returning from hiking at the Mendenhall Glacier, I managed to watch the last three innings. Freddie got totally hosed in the eighth.
Might as well have stayed on the plane.
I can't wait to get off those things
Warning Track Power
It’s up to CT3.
Not words I want to read…
Teo’s glove is still working. And he just missed a long one in his last at bat.
One more at bat for the Dodgers to tie it up and then they start extra innings WRISP
At least Chapman heartbeat spiked
RISP again
Chapman still tossing it 100
ok. I’m going for positive vibes the rest of the game here. Dodgers still can win this thing.
Although – to be fair – this could be like the game vs the Mets where the Dodgers won it late. (On the other hand – the Mets are a mess.)
Pirates bullpen isn't any better
When do the Dodgers finally give up in Taylor?
That is the $20M question.
$16MM
He is still owed the balance of his $13M salary this year, plus $13M next year and $4M buyout for 2026. So he is still owed about $8.5M this year, plus $13M next year and $4M buyout.
$25.5M.
That's better than I thought. I thought he had a 4 year $64MM contract that ran through 2025.
4 year $60M following the 2021 season. Gonna be one of the worst signings of AF's tenure.
0 for 10 RISP, 7 LOB.
No eyes, no ears. With runners on second and none out, have we tried any sacrifice bunts, particularly when Rojas was up with no outs and Lux on second?
No. We are waiting on the bomb. As always.
In that case maybe I wouldn't bunt because Taylor followed. I trust Rojas to make contact more than I do Taylor.
Too many games like this one lately.
Can it be the trade deadline soon?! Lol
Lux should have stopped at first and waited for some one to get an extra base hit to drive him in.
Whew!! Good job Tyler. Time for the offense to show up.
Dodgers really missing Muncy. I am not impressed with Teo.
Many RBIs; too many strikeouts.
Only has 2 RBI in the last 2 weeks. 0 in the last week.
Thanks.
They are a mirror of each other IMHO
Very true. Although since Munce went down we have been in an offensive funk.
Who knows when he first injured himself but he was like 1 for his last 40 when he went on the IL
Well, we were playing better when he was in the lineup.
Time to score some runs.
Yup.
100 k’s for Glasnow this season
Let’s go Freddie. You seem to be our best hope tonight.
If it’s not the White Sox’s, I really would be surprised.
Dodgers 7 thru 9 hitters are 29th in OPS.
That is awful. Who is worse than the Dodgers?
Already 0 for 4 RISP, 3 LOB.
I blame Heyward. Had he not stolen second the next 3 hitters would not have had risp.
Well, that is one way to look at it. LOL. I guess Freddie and Will should take some blame.
Just Will.
Ha!
Another opp
Freddie and Will keep teeing up opps
Freddie showing off bat and glove already.

Giants and Padres both lost Monday night. San Diego is now 7 games behind the Dodgers, San Francisco 9 back. Blake Snell (0-3, 9,51) back on the IL. The Dodgers were idle today, open a series in Pittsburgh tomorrow night.
Brief stop in Wrangell with cellular access. After I said adiós on the previous thread, I tuned in for the gninth inning of the Gnats game, and it was glorious. Fryers blew one almost as ugly in KC.
On June 4 in Baseball History…
1943 – Mort Cooper of the St. Louis Cardinals pitches back-to-back one-hitters, beating the Brooklyn Dodgers on May 31 and the Philadelphia Phillies on June 4. Hits by Billy Herman on May 31 and by Jimmy Wasdell of the Phils deprive him of no-hitters.
1953 – Pittsburgh trades outfielder Ralph Kiner, catcher Joe Garagiola, pitcher Howie Pollet, and outfielder Catfish Metkovich to the Cubs for catcher Toby Atwell, pitcher Bob Schultz, first baseman Preston Ward, third baseman George Freese, outfielder Bob Addis, outfielder Gene Hermanski, and $150,000.
1964 – Sandy Koufax becomes the fourth pitcher to hurl three no-hitters by blanking the N.L.-leading Phillies 3-0 at Connie Mack Stadium. Koufax strikes out 12 and walks one.
1967 – Curt Flood's record string of 568 straight chances without an error ends when he drops a fly ball during a 4-3 win over the Cubs at St. Louis. The Cardinals center fielder had played an N.L.-record 227 straight games without an error beginning Sept. 3, 1965.
1970 – In the June draft, the Padres select high school catcher Mike Ivie as the number one pick. Choosing next, the Indians take Stanford pitcher Steve Dunning. The Pirates wait till the 15th round to take Dave Parker.
1972 – A major-league record eight shutouts are pitched in the day's 16 games � five in the A.L., three in the N.L..
1974 – On Ten-Cent Beer Night at Cleveland, unruly fans stumble onto the field and cause the Indians to forfeit the game to the Rangers with the score tied 5-5 in the ninth inning.
1975 – Danny Goodwin, picked first in the June 1971 free-agent draft, is picked first again, this time by the Angels. The next four picks fail to make the major leagues. Montreal picks future hall of famer Andre Dawson during the tenth round.
1988 – Rickey Henderson steals two bases in New York's 7-6, 14-inning loss to the Orioles, giving him a club-record 249 steals.
1989 – Toronto beats Boston 13-11 in 12 innings after trailing 10-0 after six innings. It is the biggest lead the Red Sox have ever blown and is also their 12th consecutive loss to the Blue Jays at Fenway.
1990 – Ramon Martinez, 22, strikes out 18 Braves in a 2-0 Dodgers win. He ties Sandy Koufax's club record and is one short of the N.L. mark. Martinez whiffed none in the ninth inning.
1992 – San Jose voters tell the Giants they don't want them by rejecting a plan to build a new stadium in their town. Then the Astros add insult to injury by swatting the ball every which way in a 12-6 drubbing at Candlestick Park in front of just 8,850.
What a pathetic effort by the offense. 0 for 12 RISP, 9 LOB. Tyler deserved better.
Gianrs also lost. Dodgers still lead the Padres by 7 and the Giants by 9. Diamondbacks are now 8 1/2 games back, Rockies 16 behind.
The Gnats have reclaimed fourth place – but can they hold off the Rox?
Padres lost to the Angels. Giants are losing to the Diamondbacks, 8-5, in the 8th.
Pray for the Angels.
