Come on Jack. End this inning. I have to go to bed. 3:30am wake up for a 6am flight to Ottawa.
Never been to Ontario, but have a close friend in Kingston.
Snakes win walkoff over Fillies.
Quite the AB by Quique!
Home run by Kiké!!
Bart, one of your favorite players hit it.
That was a hanger.
Pages cuts it off nicely there.
Fillies tie it in Fenix, in the eighth.
Charlie should retire.
Broke his back I guess. Sounded awful.
He’s never sounded good.
I was driving granddaughters back to their parents and got to hear the Ohtani HR on my way home. Charlie Steiner sounded very very weak on the radio but seems to gain strength as he continued the broadcast.
Great game so far.!
Imagine if Yamamoto, Buehler and Miller all came back as viable starting pitching options?
Miller didn't do well today in OK though
He did well for four, I understand. Ferris had a really good outing.
I loved Dusty as a Dodger. Too bad he soiled his legacy with Gnats and Trashtros.
He single-handedly kept the toothpick business in the black.
In the bite marks of Sam Jones.
Instead he could have been a Dodger Manager but they had too many outstanding Managers for him to get a chance
Also he strikes out 3 in the inning.
O'Flaherty working much harder now. Bucs making better contact.
O'Malley would like that name
Joc with his 6th home run in the last 13 games today
After all this recent misery, we deserve a laugher tonight.
Fillies folding in Fenix tonight.
Rojo feeling his oats.
Blasts and then a bloop. Still works for a 5-0 lead.
Freddie finding his stroke.
Not to mention Smith.
Gosh, we needed that.
SHO-BOOM!!!
The only other Dodger to ever wear “0” was Al Oliver in 1985. At least for the L.A. Dodgers.
I recall that now.
Kind of makes (a little bit of) sense for someone whose name begins with “O” to have a uniform with the number “0.” But I wonder what Flaherty’s story is with “0.”
Maybe secretly he wishes his name was O’Flaherty.
Sounds reasonable. He could always do a deed poll.
With their come-from-behind victory tonight in Miami — with single runs in the 8th, 9th and 10th innings to win 3-2 — the Padres have now won 15 of their last 17.
Four runs in tenth to win 6-2. Fishpen tanked totally.
Thanks for the correction The post I saw was 3-2. Clearly, the game was still on.
Fryers burning Fish in extras, with old friend Brett de Geus on the menu.

Dodgers superstar Mookie Betts moved from right field to a middle infield role before landing on the injured list due to a left hand fracture in June. He is set to return from the IL on Monday but will be moved back to right field, per manager Dave Roberts. Juan Toribio of http://MLB.com was among those to relay the news on X.
Glad to hear that.
Along with batting practice, Mookie is said to be taking balls in RF. Guess that Miguel and Gavin might have pushed him back to the outfield with their lively bats.
Doc had said that he would be coming back at SS. Maybe they felt that they had to throw him a bone, since Ohtani has replaced him leading off.
Doc now saying return to RF.
Whose on CF?
If it is Kiermaier then pages and Heyward sit.
Graterol has a Grade-1 hamstring strain, Dave Roberts said, not the Grade-3 strain they initially feared
Roberts said they are “hopeful” Graterol can still return this year, but timeline is TBD
Today in Dodgers History
August 9th
1975 At Shea Stadium, Davey Lopes steals his 32nd consecutive base without being caught, breaking Max Carey's 1922 record in the Dodgers' 2-0 victory over New York. In 1989, Vince Coleman will break the Dodger second baseman's mark.
1976 John Candelaria becomes the first Pirate since 1907 to throw a no-hitter in Pittsburgh. Nick Maddox threw the first and only Buc home no-hitter until the 'Candyman' beat the Dodgers at Three Rivers Stadium.
(Ed. Note: There was never a no-hitter in the 61-year history of spacious Forbes Field. -LP)
2001 Mike Hampton ties the National League record for pitchers with his seventh homer, going deep off Felix Heredia in the Rockies' 14-5 victory over the Cubs at Wrigley Field. The Colorado southpaw equals the mark established by Dodger hurlers Don Drysdale (1958, 1965) and Don Newcombe (1955) and is two shy of the major league standard set by Wes Ferrell, who played for the Indians in 1931.
2013 The Dodgers rally for four runs in the bottom of the ninth inning, overcoming a six-run seventh-inning deficit, for their fifth walk-off victory this season. The team's 7-6 victory over Tampa Bay is their 11th consecutive win in one-run games, defeating ten different clubs.
Double digit k’s for O’Flaherty
Flaherty is No. 0 (he's no Eddie Gaedel). Nice job to recover from leadoff double.
Barves, whose roster is arguably even more depleted than Dodgers', have slipped behind Mutts in mild card competition.
Fish had 2-0 lead over Fryers, but blew it in eighth and ninth. Going to extras.
We truly needed that win tonight.
We did indeed.
Roughed up one of PGH's two aces.
Woo-HOO!
Yay!! Dodgers win!!
One year too many for Heyward, sadly.
He's played some fine defense tonight, but that's not enough to earn him a new contract.
Agree on both points.

Now let’s build on that lead.
