Let’s bookend that 5 run 1st with a few more runs in the 9th.
Fpr a total of 10
Two out rally?
Our Atléticos swatting Gnats 4-0 after six. Robbie Ray has regressed to the mean, with three gopher balls.
Pleased to report that M's have taken over first place from Trashtros tonight.
Oh, wait – game-ending groundout reversed on appeal. But then Altuve gets rung up to end it.
Easy first for Glasnost.
So painful.
Getting us ready for the playoffs.
Nothing hurts more than losing the last game of your season. Today there is always tomorrow
Ah well. Win with Kersh tomorrow please.
Will be traveling and probably won’t get to see it.
Crap!! Unacceptable!!
Ugh.
Agree but cannot like.
Gnats lose to Oakland. Robbie Ray regresses to the mean.
Who cares about that?
Outman keeps swinging under the ball. He uppercuts. That swing plane is not working for him. Hope somebody can help him. I root for him.
No, he's swinging level at pitches up and out of the zone.
Disagree
We're hosed.
I agree.
I have the Padres’ announcers on MLB. What incredible homers. How remarkably obnoxious.
They really are.
I guess (sadly) they thought they were incredible homers to announce.
Homers calling homers!
Not so bad as Krukow and Kuiper.
Vesia warming up.
I’ve lost count.
Help is on the way.
Trienen wants the win instead of the save tonight I guess. Lol
Vulture
Optimism!
How many games like these have we suffered through? How many five/run leads have we blown? How many times have we scored a lot of runs in one inning early and then gone to sleep the rest of the game?
Way too many.
A handful I would guess. I can remember three.
Joe just said this was the 3rd time this month.
The three that I remember! Recency bias.
Time to score a bazillion runs please. Or at least two?
You really don’t care about Rule 1 do you?
Well, to be fair, he keeps saying “Wednesday.”
Which it is here on the East Coast.
He knows what he is saying. And what he means by it. Rule 1 includes euphemisms.
Does he care?
I’ve been guilty as charged of that as well. As have a few others of us.
I just think it’s more habitual with him. Like all the time.
I don’t love all the rules either to be honest (I would talk politics a lot here if allowed).
But we try to live by them.
Bullpen can't wait for August to get here
¡Miércoies doble!
Unbelievable.
Gopherville.
Treinen is really blowing this big time. What has happened to him?
Ball not moving.
It did on Bogie.
But when did this start?
Pretty much lights out all of July. Only these last two games. It happens.
And it did on Peralta.
Unfortunate
Equal opportunity umpire
Beautiful pitch to Bogie!
So many first pitch blasts against Dodger relievers these days.
Gopher ball.
Jeeze, Treinen.
¡Miércoles!
One pitch
It was a meatball.
Now splattered.
Would love for this to end 5-4.
Yeah. Nope.
Yikes.
Dodgers are Banda's 12th MLB organization.
Earning a living
Tough 3 outs to get here. Manny, Xander and Jackson Merrill
You called it.
I’d take a 2 out rally.
I didn't know Ohtani argued with umpires
Surprising for sure.
Ohtani missing Freddie and Mookie.
He has Lux now though
That would have normally been Vesia’s inning, no?
But whose will it be once all the new guys settle in?
It’s a slot for a southpaw with all the lefty bats due up.
A lot of "fans" wanted the Dodgers deLuxed. Not any more
Well Rats!! Freaking Machado. I really dislike him.
Two good defensive plays
Didn’t like him even when he was a Dodger.
Glasnow
Glasnost is a concept relating to openness and transparency.
Most people like the way they spell their names though. Am I wrong WBAsBs
Perestroika!
It was big in the 90’s
One bad inning for Glasnost – but not so bad as Waldron's first.
Finished strong!
Loaded and unloaded
But not in the fun way for the Dodgers.
We got the piglet version that time
Really bites when we score early and then go dormant.
Babe Barnes to PH!
Loaded!
Score, please.
We need some quality futuring.
C'mon boys, we need insurance runs.
Yes please!
Good stuff Glasnow. Do you bring him back out to start the 7th?
That's a tough call. I guess I would have to talk to him and see how he is feeling. If I brought him back I would have the bullpen warm and he would be on a very short leash.
With bottom of the order coming up, perhaps, but agreed on short leash. Bullpen well-rested.
Save an inning for October, no?
Pull it together here Glasnow
Nice k of Cronenworth!
Dr. DP.
Getting a huge paycheck and throwing a shout-out seem independent of each other
Score more!
Yeah, that’s what I was thinking.
All well-hit balls.
For sure
Bear down!
Goodness. Freddie get to any of those?
Profar's, perhaps.
Lux hitting smartly and goodly.
I step out for a moment, and Glasnost grooves one to Machote.
Well, we have our five run lead. Now to hold it.
35-pitch inning.
Mr Biggio wants to stick around.
Dodgers shopping at Waldron.
Biggio? Again?
Quite a plate appearance.
Wowser!
Teoscar is tied for 6th in the NL in HRs and is 7th in Ks.
Making Waldron throw lotsa pitches.
Back-to-back hits by Heyward and Pages, neither of whom has been doing well lately.
There's a start.
Watching M's and Sawx. JT has two RBI in his first game for Seattle, and Yohán Ramírez hit the first batter he faced for Boston.
On brand, both of them.
I wish that the Dodgers had reacquired JT.
Certainty sorry that he left.
They've done better. Love JT, but he's not a fit at present.
The Dodgers did it.
They're getting Jack Flaherty, who's going to be the best pitcher traded at this year's deadline.
Flaherty has a 2.95 ERA and an incredible 133 strikeouts to just 19 walks this season.
He's just 28 years old and is from Los Angeles.
What a move from LA.
Not to mention Edman, Kopech, Rosario and Kiermaier, wihtout giving up a lot. Hoping Vargas does well at Bill Veeck Field, though.

Today in Dodgers History
July 30th
2004 In a blockbuster trade, the Marlins deal Brad Penny, Hee Seop Choi, and southpaw prospect Bill Murphy to the Dodgers for backstop Paul Lo Duca, relief pitcher Guillermo Mota, and much-traveled outfielder Juan Encarnacion.
2017 Texas third baseman Adrian Beltre collects his 3000th hit when he doubles in the fourth inning in the Rangers' 10-6 loss to the Orioles at Globe Life Park in Arlington. The twenty-year veteran, who has also spent time with the Dodgers, Mariners, and Red Sox, is the first-ever Dominican-born player to reach the coveted milestone.
2020 Indian right-hander Shane Bieber matches a major league mark for strikeouts through two starts in a season, equaling Dodger Karl Spooner's record, who fanned 27 batters in consecutive games at the beginning of his rookie season in 1954. The 25-year-old Cleveland hurler, who whiffed 14 batters on Opening Day, punches out another 13 batters en route to throwing eight shutout innings in the team's 2-0 victory over the Twins at Target Field.
