Mon 28: Bobby Miller vs. Gallen Tue 29: Clayton Kershaw vs. Kelly Wed 30: Ryan Pepiot vs. Pfaadt All games at 7p
4-2 on the last roadtrip, which brings us to an amazing 21-4 record in August. Concerns that we are peaking too soon notwithstanding, the Dodgers have now opened up a 12-game lead on the second-place Diamondbacks and a 13.5-game lead on the Giants.
And like the Braves, the only other division leader with at least a ten-game gap, the Dodgers should be thinking more about resting our arms for the playoffs--so the TBD sitting on Wednesday's docket makes a lot of sense. With Tony Gonsolin out for the season, and the Dodgers picking up Tyson Miller off of waivers, let's not push anything over the edge!

HAPPY KERSHAW DAY!!!!
Heeeeeeeeeeeey karen!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY CT3!!!
Hellllooooo there Saxy!!
Hellllooooo there Saxy!!
judging from Saxy's statistical numbers the Dodgers should win this easily which means they'll probably lose
Ha!
0-0, B1. Dodgers have two on (Betts on second; Slappy on first) and Muncy is up with one out.
Muncy almost GIDPs, but Dodgers challenge the call and it turns into only a force at second.
Dodgers at the corners, two out, Peralta up.
Peralta doubles, Mookie scores. Muncy to third.
1-0 LA
DP doubles in Mook. 1-0 Now 2-0
Holy cow, Heyward doubles! Muncy and Peralta both score, it's 3-0 LA
good hitting with 2 outs
Kershaw needs to get it together. tons of pitches already
Clay looking a little shaky.
Ugh, Corbin Carroll single, and then Nick Ahmed walk. One out.
Kershaw gets Moreno to GIDP! Inning over.
3-0 LA, mid-2
Kershaw at 41 pitches through 2 frames. Yikes.
feels good when the bottom of lineup manufactures a run.
CT3! Walks, steals second, and then comes home on a Rojas RBI single. 4-0 LA
MiggyRo brings in CT3. 4-0 Boys
Rojas tries to push his luck, and is caught stealing. Oh well.
3 balls, 1 strike, 1 out --> and dieter is playing Beautiful Disaster by 311.
That dude is brilliant.
Mookie on second with the Freeman groudn out, and Smith up to bat with two out.
Slappy flies to center, deep but catchable.
4-0 LA through 2 full. Kelly at 45 pitches through 2, so this won't be a pitchers' duel!
yep. I just made a quick 311 spotify playlist because I heard the organist play that song. I had forgotten about them.
I have heard Nomar refer to Outman as Tarzan a few times now. Are we doing that yet? If not, can we?
Frisco pitcher throwing no-hitter

JINX JINX JINX JINX JINX JINX JINX
Dodgers are aggressive. I like it.
NO HITTER
@karen 8.13p: Yep, apparently Outman has picked up the Tarzan nickname because of his locks. Of note, on any fly outs he records in center, Dieter plays Baltimora's "Tarzan Boy", which is a totally deep cut from a one-hit wonder!
One out in the top of the ninth in San Francisco.
Dodgers up 7-1, mid-6
Mookie!
Nick Senzel walks with one out.
BETTS HR!
8-1 LA
Betts HR goes 428 feet, and is his 36th of the season.
TJ Friedl flies out for the second out in SF.
Elly de la Cruz is in the hole
Sorry de la Cruz is on deck
The Giants' Cobb is at 124 pitches!
Reds' Spencer Steer with an RBI double. No-hitter is broken up.
Slappy HR!
9-1 LA
SLAPPY!!!! 9-1 Blue
Impressive outing for Cobb, though. Brutal to lose it after 26 outs.
Freeman so far is the only Dodger without a hit (he is 0-for-4). His OPS has dipped to .991, whereas Betts is now at 1.020.
Cobb still pitching, I suppose going for the complete game?
He got it. Called strike three on de la Cruz.
SF 6, CIN 1 FINAL
Frisco no-no gone-gone
YAY
Just wanted the highlight of Cobb losing the no-hitter on the last out. Luis Matos was running from RF and took an awful route on that ball. He at least should have tried to leap a bit more.
Busch comes in to start the seventh at first base, replacing Freeman. Hope that there's nothing wrong with Freddie (though it is 9-1).
Amed Rosario enters the game as well, playing second and sitting Betts.
Outman makes the last out of the top of the seventh, and Dieter plays "Tarzan Boy," right on cue, going into the stretch.
9-1 LA, mid-7
@Saxy....I think Doc is just trying to save them
CT3 needs to learn the Freddie better
Heyward with a leadoff single, but Tarzan GIDPs. Taylor, on his bobblehead night, gets his third hit of the game (3-for-3).
Steiner mistakenly says that Betts is on deck (with Rojas up). Betts is not on deck, it's Rosario.
9-1 LA, T9. Victor Gonzalez in to pitch.
ANOTHER WIN BABY!!!!!
WIN
that's a wrap. see you tomorrow y'all
Going to the Stadium tomorrow. Let me know if you'll be there too!
@Sax Was trying to find the Tarzan Boy song to play it for Mrs. Quad but couldn't think of the band name. Thanks for mentioning it in the thread!
@Quad: no prob. Obscure trivia that is a non-monetizable skill? I’m your dude.
Dontrelle!
glad.Nomar isn't in the booth today. he's fucking horrible.

Diamondback fans get a free jumbo jack when the Dbags hit a homerun in a game. better deal than the Dodgers 10 strikeouts
that's a sweep
Oh, that was fun.
