Mon 8.5: Glasnow vs. Nola Tue 8.6: Kershaw vs. Sanchez Wed 8.7: Stone vs. Phillips All games 7p
Like two prizefighters clinching at the end of a heavyweight bout, the Dodgers and Phillies are exhausted rounding into the last third of the season. The Dodgers wrapped up 3-5 road trip--replete with multiple off-days, separating largely west-coast travel--with two wins over the feeble Oakland A's. The Dodgers are 4-6 over their last ten games, watching their division lead on the Padres shrink to 4.5 games.
The Phillies own the best record in the National League and have been coasting all season, but even they have hit the skids: 2-8 over their last ten games, including getting swept by the Yankees at home. That said, the Phillies did sweep the Dodgers at home right before the All-Star Break, outscoring Los Angeles 19-5. Yeesh.
Philly has two of their aces going against...two guys who recently activated from IL stints. And we're excited to hear that Maximus Freeman is out of the hospital and back home, after a scary incident--but no word as to when Freddie Freeman will re-join the Dodgers' lineup. (Take the time you need for family, Freddie!)

FREDDIE IN LINEUP!!!
Dodgers DFA Craig's Kid to make room for Freddie. I kind of feel bad, I thought the kid had been doing better lately.
Entire Dodger family including clubhouse guys and broadcast team wearing Max Strong t's on front and Freeman and #5 on the back. Freddie cried when he saw them.

So happy to have Freddie back. Dodger fans gave him a pretty long standing ovation his first AB back.
Top of 3 Boys go ahead 4-2 on Teo homer
Phils score one in the top of the sixth. 4-3 LA.
@karen: thanks as always for the lineup! You're the best :)
When will Slappy start hitting again?
Kopech with a scoreless seventh!
4-3 LA at the stretch
Dodgers go down 1-2-3 in the seventh. That was quick
Banda loses Schwarber on a leadoff walk, after being ahead 0-2.
Banda strikes out Brandon Marsh to escape the jam!
4-3 LA, mid-8
OHTANI!!!
Ohtani solo shot makes it 5-3 LA
Throughout the game Joe and Jessica have been talking about how the Dodgers and Braves of course reached out to the Freemans but how the wider baseball community reached out. He heard from Bryce Harper, Tory Lovell and his coaching staff sent a video, Mary Hart invited Freddie's dad and stepmom to share their season seats tonight, the commissioner contacted him and (my personal favorite) Mike Trout brought donuts to the hospital.
We get Freddie back AND we win! Everything's coming up roses in LA!.
Did the comment format just change? This is creepy.
Hoo boy. I don't like this new format.
@Saxy....the format has been going back and forth for the last few days, about half the time this and the other half our regular one.
karen is correct. the format is going back and forth
good win yesterday. it pains me to see ohtani and his baserunning blunders ( missing first base on his homeeun). dude's gonna lose a game with that crap in the playoffs.
Geez, this format sucks. That said:

the format is buggy. the thread had new posts at top old posts on bottom.
Kershaw walking off the mound gave me the feels.
Yeah, I'm not crazy with this format either. Every time I refresh to see if you guys posted it makes me start from the beginning again.
OH NO!! Bazooka in for first time and gets hurt. Maybe his right hamstring. DAMN!

The Matt Kemp Whores of America would like to thank The Los Angeles Dodgers for signing Matty Ryan Kemp to a one day contract on Sunday, August 11 so that he may retire a Dodger. As should be.
smh
freddie ties it up
Snakes swept a DH today to pull within 3 1/2 of us.
The Matt Kemp Whores of America would like to thank The Los Angeles Dodgers for signing Matty Ryan Kemp to a one day contract on Sunday, August 11th so that the still drop dead gorgeous 39 year old may retire a Dodger. As it should be.
4-1 LA
Hey Spanky....This format is deleting posts. Is that still happening to you?

That obstruction call on Miggy was bullshit.
