If Will Klein had done what he did in Game 3 in the regular season, the Dodgers would have optioned him to AAA right after the game.

it's cool to see that this game's starting pitcher is still hanging in there

Remember that Game 3 is in California, and it can take weeks for all the mail-in scoring to come in.

The families of Max Carey, Johnny Burnett, and Stan Hack are worried about Ohtani reaching base a 9th time.

Pat Darcy is only 75. He could pitch in this game.

I haven’t seen one hit so far this in well nigh a week ago.

Bryce Miller made a cross on the mound, but I guess he’s more palatable than Blake Treinen.

The Bosch commercial with Antonio Banderas and Randy Savage will never make sense to me, but I assume the men were highly remunerated.

Group C in African qualifying will come down to the last day on Tuesday. Benin leads SA by 2 points and Nigeria by 3. Benin is at Nigeria on Tuesday while SA hosts Rwanda. Nigeria needs a win by 2+ and a tie or loss by SA to qualify.

How bad does it have to get for Tanner Scott to get into a game?

In the long run, we’re all Brent Honeywell.

African World Cup qualifying resumes tomorrow. Africa is guaranteed nine spots in 2026 World Cup. Tunisia and Morocco are in.

Is the plan to just shuttle around the National Guards of each of the lower 48 states to the next one over to fully occupy the country? Where would the Michigan guard go? Does Oregon go to Washington?

All these helmet ads are making me interested in waltzing. Or perhaps learning more about Robert Downey’s character in “Oppenheimer.”

Are Art Nehf and Sheriff Blake available in relief tonight for the Dodgers?

Scott Barlow pitching at Dodger Stadium and really missing out on some high quality synergy marketing he could be doing.

The Cincinnati Reds have won every playoff series when their opponent was the defending World Series champ. BOTH OF THEM. 1972 NLCS against Pirates. 1990 WS against Athletics.

The Champions League matches have on average been higher scoring than the baseball playoffs so far. 3.555 goals to 3 runs.

Between Boston and San Francisco, Rafael Devers played in 163 games. He is just the 34th MLB player to play more than 162 games in a regular season. The last was Justin Morneau in 2008, thanks to a Twins tiebreaker game. stathead.com/tiny/DZVHZ

May God have mercy on my soul. I willingly watching UCLA vs Northwestern.

The NL strikeout race for pitchers is currently a 3-way tie among Skenes, Luzardo, and Webb at 216. Cease has 215.

The ESPN win probability chart says the Dodgers are at 54.2% to win. That algorithm is optimistic.

I'm just gonna keep this one handy in the drawer for the day he dies.

The Dodgers/Giants head-to-head all-time in the regular season is now 1,287 wins each (with 19 ties, h/t @EliasSports) This is the first time the Dodgers/Giants head-to-head record has been tied since after a game on August 10, 1896 BASE BALL

LinkedIn suggested today that I apply for a job as an illustrator of true crime investigations for a YouTube channel. The AI picked it especially for me. I have almost, but not quite, no artistic ability. My resume shows no such talent. I opted not to apply.

It is sad. It makes you want to cry. It is sad. It makes you want to laugh.

This game is in the bag for the Dodgers. Rortvedt leading off the 10th!

Is Ben Rortvedt the Jack Fimple of the 21st Century?

It's probably for the best that the fans don't know the names of anyone on the UCLA football team.

The Dodgers, like me, are reverting to their state in 1966. I’m just going to crawl everywhere now and soil myself.

The former general manager of the Dodgers/Expos Kevin Malone is now apparently Trump’s HHS Senior Advisor on Human Trafficking in the Administration for Children and Families (???) and will be throwing out the first pitch at the Nationals game Sept. 16th.
