AF has got some work to do to make this a legitimate World Series contender. Not sure it is doable with as many holes as the Dodgers have.
Nice – hit and a walk!
Teo on mic. He says Dino E. will be pitching to him for the home run derby. That I would watch. I’m pretty crazy about Dino, I must admit.
He has very good judgment in sending runners
Miserable jury duty this morning, woulda been willing to do it if they'd gotten jury selection together but, after hours of waiting I pled hardship because I can't sit or stand for extended periods.
Sorry. That does sound rough.
After five hours, they hadn't yet handled either peremptory or for cause challenges. Judge called a 15-minutes and, when that was over, decided on lunch. It was then I pled hardship.
What's with a Wednesday blackout? ¡Miércoles!
Just saw that as well.
It’s an Apple game, apparently
TBLA says ESPN
What you said.
I would reconsider Apple, which we once had. I want nothing to do with ESPN (I understand this is their last year of MLB).
Or ESPN?
Our big guns pooped the bed in the critical situations.
Very frustrated by that game, especially the horrible call at second. So blatant. I don’t understand how that can be fair.
Will almost took the clap from the fans
Rats!!
Tie it up Will
MLB Audio has disappeared on iPad, but remains on Phone.
So you’re allowed to just shove someone’s foot off the base with your mitt? Grrrrr.
Could have been called either way I think and we got the wrong way. It looked like the bottom of Rojas' shoe was tagged before it got to the bag anyway. We need to get our share of seeing eye slow rollers.
Dodgers not getting any of the breaks tonight. Stone gets screwed by the home team official scorer also.
Wow. That is unbelievable. He pushed him off the bag. I hate this team.
On the bright side, Mariners soak Fryers 2-0.
That hurt.
Gotta get at least one run here.
Nope.
Time for Ohtani and the big guns to step up.
Barnesy's bat has come alive.
Nice at bats by CT and Barnesie!
I would have let Kike hit.
sigh
Wicked Sanchez slider.
Okay, let’s get ‘em back.
Freddie kept his cool.
Phew. That would have broken our hearts.
Sometimes teams are just hot. Everything falls in or sneaks by or misses gloves.
Interesting these are all called hits so far. Seems like at least two errors.
4 silly runs now changed to Stone
The official scorers are as bad as the umpires.
Advanced stats at least show weak contact
Stone has pitched better than his line will show.
Too hot for that many extra pitches. Little
League sloppiness.
SERIOUSLY?
Poor Stone
Seriously?
The ballboy would have made that play
Luxurious
Lux would not have made that play.
Not from the dugout anyway
Nice play Taylor.
You have got to be kidding.
Miserable. He couldn’t see it.
Tough break.
Yeah. I’m sure he feels bad about it.
I can't believe the scorer gave him a triple. It was an obvious error.
It sounds as if he had an excuse, but that doesn't make me feel much better.
The story of the night.
That would be my nightmare – losing the ball in the lights, or twilight sky.
Oh, Andy. That was terrible.
Ugh. Wasted opportunities. Teo missed one and Freddie should have taken a breath there.
RISP!
Tie game!
Okay Ohtani. You can do this.
Game is going fast.
Need some outs, Mr. Stone.
RISP hit does not score a run.
Teo had to make sure the ball wasn’t caught.
So, you're not blacked out?
No. Couldn’t get to the tv at first. Now I’m parked in front of it.
A little action!
Freeman had to go after that second pitch because the first was called a strike.
CT3 is a good defensive player.
Thanks.
Slow chopping roller and runner was 2/3rds of the way home before he even fielded it. Made a good play just to get the batter.
No. He made the right play.
Could Kiké have gone home?
You're blacked out too?
No I just couldn’t get to the tv right away.
There goes the DP.
DP would be nice.
Catchable ball. Vargas misplayed it.
We blackouts will take your word, but he is new to the position.
It shows.
The Phillies sure look better than we do at the moment.
Fillies lead off batter kills the rally.
Teoscar prefers opposing pitchers to throw it over the plate
Can’t imagine how they can play in this weather. I haven’t wanted to even step outside for the pass couple of days.
76° high in Oakland today. 108° in Sacto, 117° in Vegas, John Fisher's preferred destinations.
The Dodgers are currently down to four starting pitchers: Stone, Knack, Miller and Paxton. Wrobleski is a possibility. Casparius, a starter who had been doing well at OKC (AAA), hasn't pitched in three weeks and is injured. He was 2-1 with a 3.58 in eight starts after being promoted earlier this year from Tulsa (AA).
So looks like Stone, Knack, Paxton, Wrobleski and a pen game to cover the next five before ASG.
Miller just optioned. Apparently wasn’t going to pitch again before ASG and they wanted roster space for another reliever.

Today in Dodgers History
July 10th
1943 The eventual 23-6 rout of the Pirates at Ebbets Field begins ten minutes late when some of the Dodgers, led by infielder Arky Vaughan, threaten not to play to protest manager Leo Durocher's suspension of Bobo Newsome. In a few days, Newsome, who had argued with his skipper over a pitch selection in a previous game, is traded to the Browns for Archie McKain and Fritz Ostermueller.
1951 In the second All-Star Game played in Detroit, the National League beat their AL rivals at Briggs Stadium, 8-3. Although their team's circuit loses, the 52,075 Motor City fans witness home runs hit by hometown favorites George Kell and Vic Wertz.
1953 With Roy Campanella's second-inning home run off Giants hurler Sal Maglie, the Dodgers establish a National League record, homering in their 24th consecutive game, one shy of the major league mark set by the 1941 Yankees. Campy's homer, his 22nd of the season, is the only run Brooklyn scores as the Giants extend their winning streak to seven with the 6-1 victory at Ebbets Field.
1968 The American League and National League agree on next year's expansion and playoff format. Each league will divide its twelve teams into two six-team divisions, playing a best-of-five game league championship series to determine the pennant winner.
1979 With his team trailing the Padres 5-3 in the bottom of the ninth with two outs at Veterans Stadium, Phillies pinch-hitter Del Unser hits a three-run walk-off home run, giving the team a 6-5 comeback victory. The dramatic dinger makes Del Unser only the second player in major league history to hit a homer in three consecutive at-bats as a pinch-hitter, a feat also accomplished by Lee Lacy of the Dodgers last season.
1984 At San Francisco's Candlestick Park, Dodger southpaw Fernando Valenzuela and Mets rookie Dwight Gooden combine to strike out six consecutive American League All-Stars on the 50th anniversary of Carl Hubbell's memorable 1934 Midsummer Classic performance of setting down five future Hall of Famers on strikes. At 19, Dwight Gooden becomes the youngest player to participate in an All-Star Game.
