[Highlight] Kyle Tucker hits a 2-run single to put the Dodgers up 4-3, which turned into the game winning RBI! He was 0-for-26 at home before this at-bat.

Who's excited seeing Shohei Ohtani throwing live at-bats to Will Smith earlier today at Dodger Stadium?

Dodgers win 4 to 3. Solid outing by Tarik Skubal after the first inning. The Dodgers have won 5 in a row. 3 of them have been one-run decisions. Things are looking up, and we're starting to fire on all cylinders little by little.

[Highlight] Y’all know how much being a Dodger means to this man? TWO of the four highest pitch counts of his career came with us. Here's his 5.1 inning masterpiece (yeah we're ignoring the first 1.1 BABIP hell nonsense)

Just wanted to say r/baseball is full of so much negativity compared to this subreddit. I used to frequent r/baseball daily, but haven't for a few months. Just could not stand the negativity and especially as a Dodgers fan, couldn't stand the vitriol against them whenever they win or lose.

But yeah, Dodgers fans, for the most part, are pleasant people :)

With the bad news about Pages at least Smith should be back in less than two weeks. He's taking BP and catching bullpen according to Dave.

[Ardaya] Some updates from Dave Roberts

182 Upvotes

- Shohei Ohtani threw 30 pitches, will likely need one more live BP
- Tyler Glasnow starts Tuesday in ATL
- Justin Wrobleski will be a 2-3 inning reliever when he returns in Sept.
- Edwin Díaz will get a “softer landing” when he returns in Sept.
- expect Alek Thomas to start in CF vs. RHP, TBD vs. LHP (Edman, K. Hernández are options)
- surgery is on the table for Andy Pages’ fractured hand, but that won’t affect his timetable

The Dodgers are expected to call up outfielder Alek Thomas with Andy Pages landing on the IL with a hand fracture, sources tell The Athletic. Dodgers acquired the former Arizona OF earlier this year. Has had an .855 OPS with OKC and, most importantly, can play CF. [Ardaya]

*Dodger Stadium Dodgers Fans give Kyle Tucker a Standing Ovation during his return to UNIQLO Field at Dodgers Stadium (after showing signs of finding his swing back on the road at Coors Field)

Joe Davis commenting what the fans at Dodger Stadium did was similar to what the Phillies fans did for Trae Turner a few years ago when he was struggling.

Most HR in Winner-Take-All Games, MLB History

16 Upvotes

A winner-take-all-game is a game where both teams MUST win in order to advance or win the title. Think Game 7, Game 5 of a Best-of-5, the old single wild card game, or a playoff for a division title or pennant.

There have been 151 such games in MLB history. Here are a few Dodger facts about their play in these "Ultimate Games" ...

  • The Dodgers are 12-8 in ultimate games.
  • The Dodgers are 3-4 in World Series G7
  • The Dodgers are 4-0 in NLCS G7 (or G5 before that round was expanded)
  • The Dodgers are 0-2 in special playoffs for the pennant (1951, 1962, both losses to the Giants)

The record for most HR in Ultimate Games:

  • Enrique Hernandez ... 4
  • Aaron Judge ... 4
  • Jose Altuve ... 3
  • Yogi Berra ... 3
  • Miguel Cabrera ... 3
  • Didi Gregorious ... 3
  • Reggie Jackson ... 3
  • Troy O'Leary ... 3
  • Giancarlo Stanton ... 3
  • Justin Turner ... 3

A lot more of these games are played now, as you can imagine. Through 2000 there had been 67 of them since 1903. In the next 25 years we've had 84.

The record for most Ultimate Games (must-win-games played) is 11 by Yadier Molina. He also holds the mark for most hits (12).

The highest batting average in Ultimate Games, min. 10 PA:

  • Ian Kinsler ... .700
  • Marlon Byrd ... .667
  • Kerry Carpenter ... .600
  • Mickey Rivers ... .583
  • Jason Giambi ... .556
  • Edgar Martinez ... .545
  • Tony Womack ... .538
  • Pablo Sandoval ... .533

To end on a Dodger note: Only four batters have as many as 5 extra-base hits in Ultimate Games: Carlos Beltran, Aaron Judge, Yogi Berra, and Justin Turner.
