Game 129 Thread: August 22 @ Padres, 6.40p

We can boo Machado, but he's so good, it's a matter of time before he goes off.

Blake Snell (3-1, 1.80) vs. Yu Darvish (2-3, 5.97).

Sounds familiar: home team comes into a three-game series one game behind in the standings, with a visiting rival squad that has something to prove. And though this worked out well for the Dodgers last weekend, the Dodgers' pathetic series split in Denver against the Rockies demonstrates that we are far from firing on all cylinders (not to mention, Teoscar Hernandez' defense in right field sometimes looks like he's up on cinder blocks in the driveway).

And don't get me started on why the hell Michael Conforto keeps playing (he is 0-for-his-last-13 and sports a .186 batting average and .612 OPS this year, with 63 hits on the year and 93 Ks). We keep trotting out lineups like this, and we're expecting to lose.

Game 128 Thread: August 21 @ Rockies, 12n

Kershaw vs. Dollander.

The best we can hope for is a series split with the Rockies. But there's a good chance that we lose our one-game lead in the NL West and enter this weekend's series at Petco Park tied with a very hungry Padres team. I don't like the sound of this, not at all.

Game 127 Thread: Aug 20 @ Rockies, 5.40p

Ohtani vs. Gordon.

Continuing with the Two-Face theme, the Dodgers have split the first two games of this series so far, with one really bad loss folowed by one really good romp. I have no idea which team will show up tonight in Denver. Hopefully at least Teoscar Hernandez will have some wheels.

Sheehan vs. Gomber.

The Dodgers seem to be back to their ways of letting games slip away late, like last night's debacle in Denver. Thankfully, the Padres lost at home as well, but we can't rely on that to keep our divisional lead.

Sack up, Dodgers!

Yoshinobu Yamamoto vs. Kyle Freeland.

Which Dodgers team is going to show up here in Denver? The one that got swept in not one series, but BOTH series, to a Anaheim Angels team with a losing record? Or the one that just swept the San Diego Padres this past weekend, allowing the Dodgers to re-ascend back into first place in the division?

Let's flip a coin.

Blake Snell vs. Dylan Cease.

We're tied up in the NL West, after yesterday's white-knuckle 3-2 win over the Padres. Clayton Kershaw was gutty...something I haven't seen much of with Blake Snell, especially if he lasts into a third time through the lineup. Can Snell (or Snell-glazer David Vassegh) shut me up?

Game 122 Thread: Aug 15 vs. Padres, 7p

Clayton Kershaw vs. some Padre who will undoubtedly have the game of his life.

The Dodgers are now in second place, looking up at the Padres, thanks to a woeful run since the All-Star Break juxtaposed with a peaking San Diego team (8-2 over their last ten). With our loss Wednesday, yet another game in which we snatched defeat from the jaws of victory and got season-swept by the lowly Angels, the Dodgers look completely hopeless in the bullpen and mostly impotent from the plate.

Reinforcements aren't coming in these last ~40 games. Either we step up, or we're done.

Game 121 Thread: Aug 13 @ Angels, 6.30p

Ohtani vs. Hendricks.

This is the sixth and final game against the Angels, and the Dodgers haven't won one yet. As a result of this and other incompetencies, they are now tied for first place in the NL West thanks to the surging Padres (7-3 in their last 10). And we look hopeless against these very inspired and angry Angels. Hendricks for the sweep.

Apparently, the Angels' Strike Force is not their offensive lineup.

Yoshinobu Yamamoto (10-7, 2.51) vs. José Soriano (7-9, 4.01).

The Angels, the fourth-worst team in the American League, get a chance for some crosstown payback to motivate what is otherwise another lost season in Anaheim. This three-game series in Anaheim precedes a stretch where the Dodgers will play six of ten games against the Padres, who are only two games back of the Dodgers and nipping at our heels. Can we stop the Angels from lighting up the halo?

Game 118 Thread: Aug 10 vs. Blue Jays, 1p

Glasnow vs. Lauer.

The Blue Jays must be a little sad, having dropped the first two games of the series vs. Los Angeles. And we surprisingly look...pretty good, especially with Max Muncy's return to action lengthening the lineup and providing more potency than we had in July. The Padres won in extras yesterday, so the lead is still a scant three games; we need a sweep today, Tyler!

Blake Snell (1-1, 3.21) vs. Chris Bassitt (11-5, 4.12).

The road doesn't get any easier for the Dodgers, up against the best team in the AL East. Chris Bassitt is in the top 30 strikeouts for MLB in 2025. Now who's a good boy?

Game 116 Thread: Aug 8 vs. Blue Jays, 7p

Avert your eyes, or you'll be banished to L.A. Law!

Clayton Kershaw (217 wins, lifetime) vs. Max Scherzer (218 wins, lifetime).

It's a clash of MLB win titans today, with Clayton Kershaw and former Dodger Max Scherzer dueling it out on the mound. On the all-time leaderboard, Scherzer has the edge on IP (2919 to 2808) and strikeouts (3,451 / 11th place to 3,010 / 20th place), but Scherzer is also three years older than Kershaw.

The bigger issue here, though, is that the AL East-leading Blue Jays (68-48) are hot, while the NL West-leading Dodgers (66-49) are most decidedly not. As we dropped two of three to the mediocre Cardinals earlier this week, the Blue Jays were scoring 45 runs in their series against Colorado. I'm not hopeful.

Emmet Sheehan (2-2, 3.60) vs. Miles "Morales" Mikolas (6-8, 4.83).

My Spidey-Sense is tingling for tonight's matchup, and not just because of last night's heartbreaking 3-2 loss, showcasing a surprisingly decent start from Tyler Glasnow and disappointing innings from Anthony Banda and Brock Stewart. We got another relief pitcher at the deadline, and he did not deliver last night. Sigh.

Game 113 Thread: August 4 vs. Cardinals, 7p

Forecast is for Gray skies tonight in Los Angeles.

Tyler Glasnow (1-1, 3.38) vs. Sonny Gray (10-5. 4.38).

Finally, a game at a reasonable evening timeslot! And this time we face Sonny Gray and a Cardinals team whose .500 record (56-57) following a better-than-expected first half of the season ultimately made them a seller at the trade deadline (dealing Ryan Helsley, Phil Maton, and Steven Matz for prospects). It would be nice if we could take advantage of this and expand our divisional lead over the Padres by more than three games.

I was driving on a long road trip and one thing I was doing to keep my mind awake was to go through the MLB divisions and name all the teams. The only one that I couldn't complete instantly was the NL Central, and I could easily name the Cubs, Pirates, Cardinals, and Brewers. And it took a while before I remembered the Reds.

And I just saw a game at Great American Ballpark last season, too.

The Dodgers limped into the All-Star Break with a 2-7 record over their last nine games, albeit the last two being victories (over the Giants). They're nursing a 5.5-game lead over San Diego and a six-game lead over the Giants as we start the second half.

We face a Brewers team that cleaned our clocks earlier this month, sweeping three games as part of that seven-consecutive-loss streak.

LFG.

2025 Home Run Derby Thread

With 2024 Home Run Derby winner Teoscar Hernandez not in this year's field, I probably won't be watching this one.

I will say, given his adductor injury earlier this year and his slowed offensive production since, I'm kind of glad he's not participating this year. That said, I was certain that last year's incredible HRD performance was going to impair his ability to mash for the rest of the year--and Teoscar ended up being fine in the second half of 2024 (and it all ended well, right?). But this year, Teoscar could probably use the extra rest.

Jeff Passan says the Dodgers are going to be fine, and yes, it is still a five-game lead in the NL West. But it's not like we get to face 0-7 Justin Verlander in this series--no, we will face both of the Giants' aces and 2025 All-Stars, starting with today's matchup vs. #1 Logan Webb.

2025 Dodgers WAR (Through June 23, 2025)

I just peeked at this and found it pretty surprising:

• Mookie Betts 2.7
• Max Muncy 2.3
• Freddie Freeman 1.9
• Teoscar Hernandez 1.6
• Tommy Edman 1.5
• Michael Conforto -1.1

For substitutes, Hyeseong Kim leads with a 1.1 WAR. Kiké Hernandez has a 0.6 (better than I expected!), and Miguel Rojas and Dalton Rushing each have 0.3.

Austin Barnes was -0.3 and Chris Taylor was -0.6.

From a pitching perspective, Yoshinobu Yamamoto has a 1.9 WAR, and Clayton Kershwaw has a 0.4 WAR. Roki Sasaki is 0.1, as is Tyler Glasnow. Blake Snell has a -0.2 WAR, worse than even Dustin May (-0.1) and Tony Gonsolin (-0.1). Landon Knack has a -0.3 WAR.

Within the relief corps: Ben Casparius has a 0.7 WAR, Alex Vesia is at 0.5, Jack Dreyer is at 0.4, and Anthony Banda is at 0.3. New pickups Tanner Scott is at 0.1 and Kirby Yates is at 0.0.

I was pretty surprised by Ohtani's cool demeanor after getting hit in the ninth inning yesterday.

Clayton Kershaw (2-0, 3.25) vs. Mackenzie Gore (3-6, 2.89).

Both staring pitchers today have win-loss records that belie their talent: Kershaw, whose season started late due to injury; and Gore, whose ERA is a better reflection of his skill given the Nationals' woeful 31-44 record. I'm just hoping for a game where every batter isn't living in fear of getting plunked.

Normally I'd feel pretty good about Yoshi starting in the final game of a four-game series, with the Dodgers poised for a sweep. But given the breaks have fallen our way with two straight bullpen-game victories, not to mention Yamamoto's last seven starts (2-3 with a 4.46 ERA) have been mortal, I'm not so sure.

And some people say I'm too negative.

Emmet Sheehan vs. Stephen Kolek (3-2, 3.50).

I didn't expect to win yesterday's bullpen game against the Padres, but we did (8-6), thanks to our bats. At the center of this was Will Smith, who slapped his way through a long 12-pitch AB against Jeremiah Estrada, culminating in a two-run HR that put the Dodgers up 5-3 and opening up the floodgates in that five-run frame.

But it's not like we didn't know how to win a bullpen game against the Padres, right?

So tonight, we run back what is basically another bullpen game, starting fresh call-up Emmet Sheehan (4-1, 4.92 ERA over his career). Let's see how this goes!

Game 74 Thread: June 17 vs. Padres, 7p

TBD vs. Randy Vasquez (3-4, 3.57).

Dylan Cease was mowing us down in the first two innings: five straight swinging Ks, followed by a Max Muncy weak tapper to the mound. But then the fourth inning came around, and seven of eight consecutive Dodgers reached base, and suddenly the Dodgers were up 6-2 on the Padres. Cease ended up lasting only five innings, and although the Dodgers used seven pitchers to secure the victory (the day before another spot-start and/or bullpen game), it seemed like a pretty big win in the opener of this four-game series.

Oh yeah, and that Ohtani guy pitched as well. He gave up a run and lasted only one inning, so his ERA is 9.00.

I hope that guy makes it in the bigs.

Anyway, today is game #2 and who knows what we'll see on the mound, so I hope the Dodgers are ready to (yet again) bat their way out of trouble.

Both clubs' aces go to battle tonight in the Ravine, with the Giants a full game back of the first-place Dodgers, having dropped a heartbreaker to the woeful Colorado Rockies on Thursday, giving up three runs in the bottom of the ninth inning to lose the game.

And we still have a chance to win the series with a victory this afternoon, even though we're starting Ben Casparius, for only the second time this season?

Casparius has been great this season (0.7 WAR; 133 ERA+), but...do we really have a shot here?

The Dodgers (as of 9am) don't have a starter!

This year, Cease boasts a 0.1 WAR, not to mention a 86 ERA+.
