Probably should not have sent Klein out for a 2nd inning. Very frustrating.
Why was Ohtani going back to 1st? He must have thought the ball was caught in the air is all I can think of.
Wow that was just a pathetic way to end this series. This is on us. We had no offense to speak of and some sloppy plays. Oh well. Day off much needed.
Rats!! Unacceptable!!
Runs please.
For second straight day, PCA does Dodgers a favor. His two-run shot puts Cachorros ahead of Fryers 3-0 in the fourth.
Dodgers don’t seem to get the idea of productive outs.
Clutch hitting from Call…

Ugh!! No magic tonight. Extremely disappointing effort by the offense.
Wasted opportunities early.
😢 😢
Ah well. Maybe tomorrow.
Lopez begins and ends this game sloppy
Need the bottom half of the lineup to set the table and/or win it for the Dodgers here.
Rally Time!! Clap..Clap!!
Another vanishing act by our offense. Up to the bottom of the order to pull out another comeback win.
That big bouncer left the Dodgers high and Dreyer.
Left some work to be done Dodgers.
Last two hitters trying too hard. Patience, Grasshoppers!
Signs of life!
Let’s go Dodgers. Clap clap. Clap clap clap.
From Junk to Bender. They are cornering the market on great pitching names.
Nice grab, Kyle!
Fish can hit.
I like the way they put the balls in play. Not just looking for the home runs.
Down in Bordertown PCA—of all people—has done the Dodgers the favor of a three-run dinger to put the Cachorros up 8-3 in the seventh.
I see where Donnie Baseball is now piloting the Fillies. He son, a Dodger draftee, is the GM.
Feels like the Dodgers are trying to be down by 2 going into the 9th again tonight. Relive the magic.
Finish strong here Ohtani.
More on ABS: I wonder how much the percentages would go up if there was only 1 challenge per team. And how much they would go down if there were 3 challenges per team.
Because that is surely what would happen. With only 1, teams would want to be very sure not to waste it. And with 3, more risks would be taken.
On the bright side, in Bordertown, Cachorros have taken a 4-2 lead over Fryers in the sixth.
Shohei keeps it close at least.
Marlins are jumping on Shohei this inning.
Shohei’s not been bad, but he’s not been sharp.
Ohtani’s era doubled with that run scoring.
I guess Ohtani is human after all.
Dodgers not doing much against all these Junk pitches.
True but the funny part is that his fastball is the pitch that is working best
Random ABS question. Say it is a 3-2 pitch that is called strike 3. Runner on first, who has taken off makes it safely into 2nd. Meanwhile, the call is challenged and overturned to ball 4 and a walk. Does the stolen base still count or did the runner officially advance by the walk?
I also wonder about the reverse. 3-2 count. Runner takes off for second but jogs into the bag on a ball 4 call. Meanwhile, the catcher has both thrown down to second base and challenged the call. (I realize this is all hypothetical.) He throws the runner out as Ball 4 becomes Strike 3.
Case 1, I think the walk negates the SB. Case 2, I think the runner is out. In that case with the challenge system there are no assumptions.
Would have been my guesses as well but wasn’t sure. Sometimes it is fun when there are interesting new wrinkles to the game. Ghost runners not so much though.
Kim shines.
Is anyone else watching on Spectrum? We are wondering what the two yellow dots are to the right of the team names…
You can see new comments indicator in the green circle on the left margin.
Sloppy game. Ramirez is a ball magnet.
A lot going on.
9 pitches with bases loaded and 2 out is crazy.
Kyle again please.
Well since we already know Shohei won’t have a no hitter, maybe he can get 20k tonight. Have another crazy special game bs the Marlins.
Should Smith move to 3rd?
Should Rushing move to 3rd?
Looks like we have been asking the wrong question.
Should Freddie be move to 3rd? Turns out that was the better question.

Wah-Hoo!!! Tucker comes thru.
Sweet!

Did they pull the pitcher because he was hurt?
On the bright side, Fryers blew a golden opportunity—thanks, Manny!—and remain in second. Also, as Rox defeat Cincy, G-nats are all alone in the NL West basement.
