Old friend on the mound. Brief friendship, though.
I know how he could be my friend tonight…
Shohei can’t walk it off. Well at least not in this inning.
Mookie and Freddie and Teo – we need you guys.
Great play by Max!
Beautiful D by Muncy.
De-lovely!
Guano Joe. Rats!!
Our pitchers keep serving up those breaking balls down the middle.
Boo hiss.
The Joe Kelly Experience.
He does pitching against the Dodgers
does better pitching against the Dodgers
Not just Joe.
Kelly?
These are really competitive games!
Ump takes the bat out of Rojas' hands
That was the Max Attack.
No Will Power that time
End quickly, please! Dog needs walk.
There’s two. One more!
Just win baby.
¡Miércoles en sábado!
Rats!!!!
More runs for us please.
More runs for us please.
Phew!
Coulda been much worse.
Wow! Terrible base-running there but lucky for us!
That was really dumb. Thanks, Jackson.
No meltdown, please.
Kopech having a very uncharacteristically off night. Yikes.
Uggh
They are not going quietly.
Miggy!!! (Late to the party…)
Mutts burn Fryers, 7-1 at The Litterbox.
Miggy!
This guy looks like a reincarnation of Broxton.
Mongo.
Let's get some runs.
Phew
Now there's a TOOTBLAN!
He actually waited, but thought the ball was by Miggie
You gotta be sure – especially with Miggy out there.
Yes, praise goes to Miggie, not condemnation for the runner being a nincompoop.
He actually waited, but thought the ball was by Miggie
I have very little faith in Treinen.
Not a high leverage guy.
At least not currently. He used to be.
Yep.
Presently, an anxiety-inducer.
All five dingers he has given up have been in high leverage situations facing 57 batters. That’s one dinger for every 11 odd PA. Ohtani only hits one every 14 odd PA.
Good question. Pitch every 6th day and hit in 5 of 7 games?
Do the Dodgers really want Ohtani to pitch next year? Or would they be happy to have him still just focus on batting?
He wants the do both so…
He wants to pitch, but I'd be satisfied just to see him hit. Another elbow injury and he mightn't be able to do either.
Heeeeeeeee's back
Speaking of unstoppable!
Might be Shohei's shortest of the year.
41!!!
Rojas is unstoppable.
Miggy!
Good at bat by Edman
Let’s go ahead here and get Kershaw the win.
There you go.
Win one for the gimper
Nice double Max.
He smoked it!
Word should be out by now about stealing with Will back there.
11 base runners in 5 innings is not very Kershaw-esque.
Will cannon
He ain't no toy cannon
Kersh running out of gas here.
He is now a hybrid
That should be enough for Klayton.
85 pitches
No clean innings for Kershaw.
Lindor dingers again, and Mutts lead Fryers 6-1 in seventh.
Lindor could be the main competition for Shohei for NL MVP.
It ain't over until it's over.
Wow! Teo!
Teo gonna get paid.
Can Dodgers afford both him and Soto is my question?
Maybe with an Ohtani styled contract
If 3B had kept the tag on…
Head scratcher from Mookie, unless…
Safe!
C'mon Mookie. Geez. We're down by 3 runs and you are already in scoring position.
TOOTBLAN by Mookie.
Except for that perfect slide.
Still was not a smart move with the ball hit to left field. Right field I can see it.
It was a smart slide.
If the fielder keeps the tag on him he is out. Got lucky.
There was a time when an infielder could catch a throw and put the glove down in front of the bag and let the runner slide into the glove. Then there was a time when that infielder was knocked into the outfield as the runner slid past the bag.
Ah, the good old days.
Let’s score another run or 2 here this inning.
And the comeback begins.
I’m here for it.
I had hopes for LaDuca when he was a Dodger
LoDuca or DeLucca?
Yes
Draft: 2019, Los Angeles Dodgers, Round: 25, Overall Pick: 761.
One has hope for everyone who's a Dodger.
Taylor too?
Feint hope.
Mookie with the nice grab.
Nice double
When Klayton misses, he's missing by a lot.
Kershaw’s season era has gone from 2.63 to 3.90 (now 3.81).
Be lucky to get 5 innings from Kersh tonight.
Better stuff from Kershaw in the 2nd.
On the brighter side, Lindor just slammed Fryers in fourth, and Mutts lead SD 5-0.
What’s with the ANA beside the LA on the pitchers mound?
All Nippon Airways
The Dodgers official Japanesse airline partner.
Thanks. I thought it was for Anaheim but couldn’t figure out why it would be.
Well that hurt.
Well, we’ve got a lot of opportunities in front of us.
Big comeback. We're still in it.
When Mookie stopped short, that briefly scared me.
I do not like what I'm seeing so far. It'll have to be a bigger comeback than last night.
That was not fun to watch.
Is there anyone up in the pen?
Uggh. Kershaw is really struggling
Rough start.
Klayton not foolin' 'em.
Contact pitcher at this point so no fooling has been going on in any event.
Not weak contact tonight.
Got that right.
We never got the base stealing part of the 30-30 package when Joc reached the Bigs. He hasn’t even reached 30 in his entire 11-year career (to go with 206 dingers).
Joc's also put on plenty of weight.
He never really ran at all even as a relatively svelte youngster.
He was a base stealer in the minors, IIRC.
Yes, this is noted in the Today in Dodgers History post, which is what I am commenting on.
He took a running lead, or something like that, in the minors that he couldn't get by with in the Major's, as I remember.

Today in Dodgers History
August 24th
1941 During a doubleheader against the Cardinals, a ragtag group of five musicians, dubbed the Dodger SymPhony by announcer Red Barber, makes their Ebbets Field debut. None of the members can read music, but the band performs their zany antics at evening and weekend games.
1955 A telegram sent to Brooklyn president Walter O'Malley by the Patchogue Chamber of Commerce offers the team "thirty acres or more of dry flat land in open country in the heart of Long Island's densest Dodger fan concentration." The village's attempt to attract the fleeing franchise to the south shore of Suffolk County will not materialize, with the club, after exploring many different venues as an alternative to Ebbets Field, leaving the East Coast in 1958 to play in Los Angeles.
1957 In a 13-3 loss to Milwaukee at Ebbets Field, the Dodgers use eight pitchers in one game, tying a major league record. Johnny Podres gives up three home runs in the fourth frame when Nippy Jones, Hank Aaron, and Andy Pafko go deep off the Brooklyn starter.
1960 During a dull game, Vin Scully, the play-by-play voice of the Dodgers, knowing that many fans in the stands follow the game on transistor radios, asks his listeners to help him surprise third base umpire Frank Secory. His ballpark audience responds when the veteran broadcaster tells them, "Let's have some fun. As soon as the inning is over, I'll count to three, and on three, everybody yell, 'Happy birthday, Frank!'".
1974 Davey Lopes steals five bases, tying a National League record established in 1904 by Giants first baseman Dan McGann. The Dodger second baseman's quintet of stolen bags adds to the team's franchise mark of eight stolen bases in their 3-0 victory over the Redbirds at Chavez Ravine.
1975 Dave Lopes steals his major league record 38th consecutive base, but the streak will be stopped by Montreal backstop Gary Carter when he attempts to swipe another bag in the Dodger Stadium contest. The second baseman streak ends in the 12th inning of the team's 5-3 loss in fourteen frames.
2014 Joc Pederson becomes the fourth player in the Pacific Coast League's history to have a 30-30 season and the first to accomplish the feat in 80 years when he steals his 30th base for the Isotopes. The 22-year-old Albuquerque slugger, who has 32 home runs and a .432 slugging percentage in 116 games this season, will join the Dodgers when rosters expand next week.
I stand by my earlier comment.
Just win baby.
Need a double play right here.
In case you hadn't noticed, today's a free game of the week on MLBTV.
Meanwhile, Snakebit Sawx continue to roll over and play dead, so Dodgers must win again tonight.
Tough losses, tough wins.
ACK!!!
Welp, that happened. Good game, though.
Bah.
Ah well
Can you get a HBP on a ball that bounces up to the plate? Lol
https://x.com/Ned2point0/status/1827554680471187738
