I mean, might as well get that one out of the way.
The Dodgers have won 13 straight games started by A.J. Ellis.
Buy ‘The Catch: A novel’
What happens when three old friends in crisis fall into an unexpected love triangle? In The Catch, Maya, Henry and Daniel embark upon an emotional journey that forces them to confront unresolved pain, present-day traumas and powerful desires, leading them to question the very meaning of love and fulfillment. The Catch tells a tale of ordinary people seeking the extraordinary – or, if that’s asking too much, some damn peace of mind.

I’ve been trying (and failing) to avoid the “Sharknado” on twitter and elsewhere, but it’s even at DT! I guess you had to do it Jon ;)
Jack Dawkins
I am totally clueless, and it sounds like I should continue to be so.

TV movie on the SYFY channel last night. One of those “so bad it’s funny” kind.

Gotta get em back boys!

12-pitch double by Blackmon. That smarts.

Time to score!

48 pitches through 2 does not bode well.

Not a very Kershaw-like start so far.
KT
he had more than that on the night I saw him at DS…it was Matt Kemp bobble head night…he ended up pitching 8 and 2/3rds 129 pitches
KT
Crocked number please

Vin, apparently, has no hitting stats on Nicasio for this season as the 5 hits were in 2011 and 2012 combined. He is 4 for 27 this year.
I don’t understand why the Dodgers don’t have a person there to provide information to Vin; not necessarily in the booth but able to come in between innings.
Jeffrey Thomas III
Two nights in a row?

Well, Kershaw’s pitching so the hitters might just decide to take the night off…

Don’t they vote on that at the beginning of the year?
Sure seems like it.

Come on MEllis
Jeffrey Thomas III
First time I’ve ever seen Puig jog to first base.
Jack Dawkins
Both groundouts Puig jogged on tonight.
Jeffrey Thomas III
I didn’t notice on the first one.
KT
He did earlier in the game also…He needs to rest

Who is this Gary Jeter that Scully keeps talking about? Is he the old USC lineman?
KT
Give him a break…I like to see you do as good of a job at his age
peedro
No excuse for not knowing the name of future HOFer
KT
He knows his name he has his moments of dementia…I been watching/listening to him since 1963 and I have seen the gradual decrease in his excellence…still better than any other announcer out there
peedro
Have you ever heard of Jon Miller?
KT
Not even in the same league
Jeffrey Thomas III
Kershaw has really reigned in that pitch count the last couple innings.
KT
Just like he did on Matt Kemp bobble head night…one more less than 10 and we’re good
KT
Hanley!!

Thought Ethier had all of that one.
Jeffrey Thomas III
They should shut Puig down til after the break.
KT
Agree

Lookin’ like the Dodgers of old. Making mediocre pitchers look great.

I think this is day-late tiredness after the 3am arrival home post 14 inning game.
Jeffrey Thomas III
Even AJ is off tonight.
KT
well if you going to have a bad game it might as well include everyone having a bad game
Jeffrey Thomas III
Funny thing is an “off game” for Kershaw is giving up 3 runs in 7 innings while striking out 10. We’re spoiled.

Seems pitchers bring their A game when Kershaw’s on the mound.

Dodgers don’t seem to give Kershaw much run support more often than not.
Anonymous
Over 19 starts he has received run support of 2 or less in 9 of them. In comparison, Ryu over 18 starts has received run support of 2 or less in only 2 games.
Anonymous
Make that 10 out of 20. But he has won 3 of them, so there is that.

Dbacks and Giants both heading towards a win.

It keeps us in the hunt!

John, Im reading of cricket kerfuffles. Should Broad have walked?
Anonymous
He probably should have, but I understand why he didn’t. Trott didn’t deserve to be given out, so these things usually balance themselves out in the end. A gripping and exciting test match in progress though, with many ebbs and flows.
Jack Dawkins
Was funny to read the justifications, that Australia never does. But the comments on the BBc were all saying Broad let down the game. Interesting how the home side fans were the most critical. I think it would be nice if he did, as its one of the few true sporting gestures left that I know of.
Jack Dawkins
Either way , tomorrow should be a good one.

If we can keep the lead to around 300, we have a chance (especially with our new number 11 batter Agar!)

How slow is Hairston? Yeesh.

Sure hoping they bounce back and go to the break strong . . . they’ve been notoriously slow after the ASB.

Fantastic pitcher’s duel, with the right result!

with a Espn gamescore of 91, Grienke puts in the best performance by a Dodger this year, just beating Ryu’s 90 vs Angels earlier in the year

I love the old-school NL 1-0 shutouts. Not very common these days – although making somewhat of a comeback I imagine now that we are in the “post-steroid era.” I’ll take a 1-0 pitcher’s duel over an AL 10-9 fiasco any day, all-day. Awesome game by Greinke.
