Seriously, I have missed games like this. These are the games that are core to my being a baseball fan.

Many people complained, especially in the press box or on the East Coast, but long before it was over, I realized that the Dodgers’ 16-inning, 5-3 victory over the Padres in San Diego was bringing me as much joy as I’d experienced watching baseball all year. Allow my tweets to be my testimony …

Ask not for whom the Snell tolls. It tolls for we.

The run against Walker Buehler was so cheap, you could only find it in the discount bin at the 99 Cents Store. pic.twitter.com/4Cf8lahd1a

Heading into the bottom of the 11th, Padres are 0 for their last 17. Dodgers are 1 for 12 since Smith's homer.

To be fair, Pollock and Beaty could easily have extra-inning RBI this game.

I don’t want the Dodgers to lose, but I have enjoyed this game. Frustrating moments, but crazy is good.

It is 11:45 p.m., marking three hours since the Padres’ last hit against the Dodgers.

This game began four years and 48 hours after Rich Hill lost a no-hitter for the Dodgers in the 10th inning.
Tonight, the Dodgers pitched 9 2/3 no-hit innings and still don’t have a win.

Is that three drives to the wall by the Dodgers this game?

That’s right. Four drives to the wall. https://t.co/UuxTruOiK2

I just watched the Dodgers hold a team to one hit for four hours and 15 minutes, which is incredible for so many reasons.

The Dodgers used 10 pitchers.
Nine gave up zero earned runs.
