Fri 8.9 7p: Flaherty vs. Keller Sat 8.10 6p: Ryan vs. Skenes Sun 8.11 1p: Glasnow vs. Falter
Well, that last series with the Phillies didn't go very well for the Dodgers, whose meltdown on Wednesday (including a Dave Roberts ejection) capped a series loss and brought the Dodgers to a 1-5 record against the likely 2024 National League Champion. Sure, Roberts was correct in disputing the bullshit interference call at third base. But to be fair, it's also Roberts to blame for pencilling in a lineup batting Kiké Hernandez (.209 BA) in cleanup, Austin Barnes handling catching, and Kevin Kiermaier (.188 BA) in centerfield.
And August doesn't get any easier as the month continues, with the Pirates having wild-card dreams of their own. Saturday starts the 2024 National League All-Star starter Paul Skenes, which should be a doozy. And right after the Sunday game, the Dodgers head out for a seven-day, seven-game road trip to Milwaukee and St. Louis.
I haven't even mentioned the Padres, coming on strong since the break, now only 2.5 games behind the Dodgers in the division. Yep, it's pretty miserable here in Chavez Ravine...except I will say this: I'm really looking forward to the return of Harvard-Westlake phenom Jack Flaherty to the mound tonight. Let's go, Dodgers!

BEAUTIFUL CEREMONY FOR MY MATTY!!!
I love that multiple people recognized Kemp’s 2011 season as the real MVP winner.
Teo is amazing!
Teo making it happen
(i,m afraid to say this but) Boys up 4-0 after 2
@Quad.... totally, totally agree about 2011
Yep, shoulda kept my mouth shut
first and second, none out, B4. Let's go, Kiermaier
kiermaier's bunting...and he gets the sac bunt down to advance the two runners. Second and third, one out, for Ohtani.
These Pirates grey jerseys are soaked through on top!
Ohtani quickly down 0-2
Geez, Shohei. You gotta take better swings up there.
Now Teoscar is quickly down 0-2
Bailey Falter at 80 pitches, and still throwing 94mph
Teo fouls out. Dammit.
4-2 LA through 4. Horrible wasted opportunities.
Dodgers 3-for-9 with RISP today.
Glasnow at 52 pitches, gets IKF to ground to second for the first out of the fifth.
MATTY IN THE BOOTH!!!!
Bae with a two-out single, his second of the game. Now he steals second.
@karen: I'm unfortunately watching the Pittsburgh feed, so let me know what Matt Kemp says!
Michael A Taylor grounds to short for the third out.
5-2 LA, mid-5
Nice long AB for Freeman, and he earns a walk. I have a feeling they'll pull Falter soon, he's north of 90 pitches.
Dennis Santana replaces Bailey Falter.
Smith hacking up there, 0-2 count. No out, Freeman on first.
Will Smith grounds out, but Freeman advances to second. That was weird--it was a comebacker to Santana, who threw it to Oneil Cruz accidentally, who was able to relay it to first to get Slappy.
Lux PH for Rosario, one out and RISP
Lux fooled with an inside slider. Two out.
And, Kiké files out weakly to right.
Come on, people. CONVERT
Sorry Saxy, just saw your post...He talked about how great it was to be a Dodger and he didn't appreciate being a Boy till he came back and and traded after 2018. He talked about Newc, Sutton, Maury and others (can't remember them all I was busy squealing. Of course mentioned the fans and talked about his family asking if he was going to cry when they played the memorial and he said no but then did cry. So happy so much was said about 2011.
4-2 LA. Pages leading off the bottom of the sixth
@karen: thanks a ton for the recap!
Pages makes for a quick out.
Beeks pitching now, to Ohtani, with two out. Ohtani laces a triple down the right field line!
Hernandez walks. Freeman's first pitch fouls off of Pirates catcher Joey Bart's hand--ouch
Ugh, Freeman grounds to second for the third out.
Dodgers are now 3-for-12 with RISP. Pathetic.
Tellez smokes a leadoff double to right in the seventh.
IKF grounds to short, so Tellez stuck at second
Ji Hwan Bae almost tied the game right there. But he strikes out on a foul tip.
We're at the stretch, Dodgers up 4-2
Glasnow's line: 7.0 IP, 5 H, 2 ER, 1 BB and 4 Ks.
Kyle Nicolas in for the Pirates.
SHIT!!!
BOOOOOO
Always been a McCutch fan but not today Andrew!!! TODAY IS MATTY'S DAY!!!
Dammit! I like Andrew McCutchen, but man that sucks.
Tied up in the eighth.
Hilarious, karen--you and I are on the same wavelength...
Is it okay to cry??
THANKS SAXY!!! WE GOTTA GIT THIS ONE!!!
NO NICK!!!
Now 3-for-15 with RISP. Not gonna cut it
so much for that pages double. wasted opp
Gonna walk it off in honor of Kemp. Let’s go!

Down 5-4 in the 10th. Time to sack up, Dodgers
woop Kiki double
Ughtani

SWEEP!
Had to turn game off the game, so we missed Teo because mom couldn't breath. Mom says, "He better have a contract at the end of the season."
HAPPY MATTY DAY!!! From Mom.
too much excitement for MKW
Let’s fucking go. We needed that.
