Dustin May (1-1, 3.68) vs. Edward Cabrera (0-1, 6.14).
Welcome back, former Dodger first base coach Clayton McCullough (now the manager of the Miami Marlins). The Marlins are not doing well this year, suffering from sloppy defense... just like the Dodgers! So maybe it's a McCullough thing.
Gotta give some love to Andy Pages, who went 10-for-12 in the series against the Pirates, including a hone run, three doubles, and four RBI. This output alone lifted his batting average from .183 to .277, and his OPS from .650 to .861 (Pages is now sitting at a 146 OPS+, which is higher than Teoscar Hernandez (145), and is absolutely amazing).
And then, we have Max Muncy, who is at a 55 OPS+. Maybe we can trade him to the Marlins for Sandy Alcantara (whom we'll see tomorrow!).

Glasnow leaves his second start in a row early with an injury. Snell got an injection in his arm. Catman can't get back fast enough!
Glasnow to the IL now. I say let him stay there for a month and really heal up. We'll be fine.
@Q7-----Here's the thing. Tyler Glasnow has made a career of shortened seasons due to injuries. I'm not sure what the answer is... when he is on he really lives up to the hype. But this is what...his third time around with us? Don't know cause I haven't looked it up. It just seems to me that in the time he has been with us his seasons have been dramatically short.
Yeah, completely agree. He can't stay healthy for a full year. Might as well rest him up so he can pitch in October.
Q7----Sounds totally Kershaw-esque but I love Clayton and what works works. We are in agreement. Save Tyler for October. Let the baby Dodgers toil through marathon innings in the blazing heat. I know we'll need some of our stars taking the bump throughout the season but these kids have pretty much proven themselves. Good grief, is this what Major League Baseball has come to?? If my mom could somehow miraculously be here for a game I'm pretty sure that she would not recognize it.
Hey guys! Ohtani leadoff single in the first.
Ohtani SB!
Mookie sac, and then Freddie RBI single. 1-0 LA
SAX!!! Hope you'll be hanging out for the whole game, we need the famous SoSG mojo to steam roll over those bastards up north.
May sneaks out of the second inning after two two-out singles and then a hard-hit ball to left that Conforto snares.
1-0 LA
@karen: gotta head out of the office but will try to get back online later tonight!
Bass juiced for Mookie....No outs 3rd inning.
^^^Bases!!!! Sorry!
C'mon Dustin!! You can do this!!!
Padres have LOST 7 of 9 of their last games. The two evilest of satan's most evil hook up to hopefully totally fucking destroy each other in the next couple of days. I am hoping and praying that this can only be good for our Boys in blue.
5-0 Boys after five.
5-1 Good Guys going to T6.
Criminy, Banda.
Oh my fucking fucking god. My boy Banda gives up a freaking, fucking slam to tie the game in the 6th.
Banda coughs up the lead with a PH grand slam.
5-5 mid-6
What the heck.
Miggy Ro with a PERFECT bunt single to third. Wow.
Man on first, none out for Shohei.
@Saxy....You are so much more kind and gentle then I in these absolutely, unimaginable, fucking moments that being simple, unassuming Dodger fans we must be abused with.
@karen: I'm back on! I've eaten dinner! I'm watching the game! I'm drinking beer! Lots of beer!
Slappy steals second, one out...Conforto, oft useless, at least advances Smith to third. Now it's up to Co-Player of the Week Andy Pages.
Pages flies to left.
5-5 through 7. Shit.
More beer!
Max opens up the 8th with a single.
SAX...Drink some beer for me. I can't have it but I truly, truly need it!!
@karen: you can ALWAYS have beer!
...but I will Esp because Edman PH flied out, and Ohtani Kd. Now here's Mookie, who is ice cold, with CT3 PR on first.
Now CT3 has to run...
Poor Mookie. I hope he snaps out of this soon.
Betts down 0-2 quickly
And Mookie Ks. What the fuck.
5-5 through 8.
I'm with you Saxy. I want Mook to find his way out of this slump, but I pretty much love the guy come hell or high water.
Scott turns out the double play here in the ninth.
I haven't checked tonight's standings yet but Joe Davis just said that a win would put us in a first place tie with the bastards of the north.
Conforto SUCKS
Xtra innings. I do not like this. I DO NOT LIKE IT AT ALL.
CRAP...SHIT...FUCK!!!
I have a feeling Conforto is gonna get thrown out at home as the ghost runner
Pages walks
WE WON!!!!!! WE FUCKING WON!!!
Very lucky bunt by Kike but he gets it down. Not sure why he wasn’t running on contact but oh well
Tommy tanks!!!
TOMMY TANKS!!!
MORE BEER!!!
WE ARE NOW TIED WITH THE MUTANTS OF THE NORTH
Much like my then husband ran around closing our windows when Gibby went yard in Game 1 of the 1988 WS my daughter did the same thing in tonight's win worried that the neighbors would call the police because her mama went absolutely crazy
That’s hilarious karen! Sleep well. I’m still drinking
