At least he already had his turn and we don't have to worry about him for the rest of the game.
Barves blew one big today – had 8-2 lead in eighth, lost 9-8 to Rox.
Freddie with double #502. Next double ties him with Andre Dawson for 62nd place.
5 more this year and he will pass Babe Ruth for 59th place all time.
Fish trying to tank again v. Fryers. Going with same pitcher who surrendered two-run dinger in eighth and, of course, he gives game-tying dinger with two out in ninth.
Among all the other pitching troubles, he'd been a true bright spot.

Dodgers tied with Phillies for best record in NL.
The Keggers are only 1.5 behind.
My flight home just improved significantly. Thank you, Teo…. Who would have thought that having a 3 1/2-game lead makes me feel good?
Dodgers flight to Milwaukee just got a lot nicer.
Mr. Clutch.
Heyward has regressed a great deal at the plate this year. Any postseason roster spot is on jeopardy, but he remains excellent on defense.
Yeah!
Woo-HOO!!! Just got on the radio in time to hear the walkoff!
Bednar is getting wood on the ball
It's hot at the game.
Here in Oakland, it's a mild 64°.
Kike' has been outstanding on 3rd base defense and has been hitting over .330 for a month.
Max has shoes to fill.
Quique's earned playing time.
At least a platoon with Max
In the short term, quite possibly. Muncy's return should be gradual.
Keeks!!
¡Quique!
The crowd has sizzled out of Dodger Stadium.
You were saying?
Bednar's been bad lately.
Can we hold serve?
A walk woulda been better.
The Ryan injury forced, by necessity, heavy use of the bullpen yesterday. Roberts pushed Glasnow as far as he could today, but it’s another big bullpen usage game. And we don’t have a day off till August 22.
It's a heavy blow.
Ohtani has slipped below .300 by .001.
Statistically insignificant, but he is slumping.
So much for a leadoff double.
Another wasted opportunity. 3 for 15 RISP, 10 LOB.
Ohtani up 3 times with runners in scoring position with less than 2 outs and didn’t score any of them. The first 2 times with a runner on 3rd.
Make that four times now
During the day, bats sleep in crevices, caves, trees and buildings.
Joey K Bart is making the Gnats sorry they kept the flailing Patsy Bailey.
Once again, we score early, our bats go in hibernation and it costs us the lead and, I hope, not the game. Sitting in the Portland Airport after visiting relatives in the Northwest.
Frustrating indeed. Banda crapped himself.
Banda's been great lately, until today,
Rule One violation.
I must resist the temptation to quote Joe Schultz.
Had to go to a family gender-reveal party for our nephew and his fiancée. (It’s a boy!)
Countryside picnic today. Last night took in MiLB Bowie Baysox vs Harrisburg Senators
Teóscar is unstoppable.
Will! Amazing!
Bailey is Falter-ing…
It's a miracle! Fish burn Fryers in the end!
Today in Dodgers History
August 11th
1940 Bees hurler Nick Strincevich completes an unusual 1-1 unassisted twin killing when he doubles up Joe Vosmik, the runner trying to score on attempted squeeze play signaled by Dodger skipper Leo Durocher. The Boston southpaw catches Vito Tamulis' bunt in the air and continues running until he steps on third base, completing the double play to end the top of the seventh inning in the team's 3-0 loss to Brooklyn at Braves Field.
1946 The Phillies snap their 18-home-game losing streak against the Dodgers, sweeping a doubleheader at the Shibe Park, 7-6 and 6-4. Brooklyn, who had not lost in Philadelphia since May 5, 1945, set a major league mark with their dominance in the City of Brotherly Love.
1950 Vern Bickford, throwing just 97 pitches, no-hits the Dodgers at Braves Field, 7-0. The 29-year-old right-hander hurls the first hitless game for Boston since Jim Tobin accomplished the feat, also against Brooklyn, on April 27, 1944.
1951 WCBS-TV televises the first baseball game broadcast in color, a Dodgers’ 8-1 victory over the visiting Braves in the first game of a twin bill. Brooklyn's announcers Red Barber and Connie Desmond provide the play-by-play commentary for the Ebbets Field contest, detailing Ralph Branca’s victory over eventual 20-game winner Warren Spahn.
2015 The Blue Jays, Rays, Marlins, Mets, Indians, Cubs, Royals, White Sox, Twins, Cardinals, Diamondbacks, Mariners, Padres, Dodgers, and Giants all win, marking the first time every home team is victorious in a full slate of games. The unique occurrence became a reality when the last two completed games ended in extra innings in Cleveland and Seattle, with the host clubs enjoying a walk-off victory.
2020 For the first time in over a century, games will take place at three different New York major league ballparks when the Toronto Blue Jays face the Marlins at Buffalo's Sahlen Field, joining contests at Shea Stadium and Yankee Stadium. The last occurrence of a trio of games in the Empire State happened on September 8, 1915, with the Polo Grounds (Yankees), Ebbets Field (Dodgers), and Federal League Park (Buffalo Blues) hosting big-league teams.
Teo for the win!!!!!
Tigres maul Gnats,. 5-4 at Software Stadium.
It's the Joe Kelly Experience.
At least he already had his turn and we don't have to worry about him for the rest of the game.
Barves blew one big today – had 8-2 lead in eighth, lost 9-8 to Rox.

Oh, wait! It's a ground-rule double.
Latest on River Ryan sounds like TJ, so he'll miss all of 2025. https://x.com/juanctoribio/status/1822699468183281877
Ugh. That’s crummy news.
