Andre Ethier hit a walk-off, three-run HR to erase a two-run Atlanta lead and pull a Dodger victory from the ashes of defeat. This was the first time since 1992^ that the Dodgers had a player hit a walk-off HR to erase a deficit of two runs or more. On May 23, 1992, rookie pinch-hitter Eric Karros stepped to the plate against the Pirates’ Stan Belinda, who had just entered the game with a two-run lead after Pittsburgh had allowed a run in the ninth already and Jose Offerman had just sacrificed two runners into scoring position. In an eight-pitch AB, Karros launched a full-count pitch into the LCF bleachers for the win. Probably was exciting in the moment, but the Dodgers were already 6 1/2 games back and on their way to a 99-loss season. Karros, of course, became the NL Rookie of the Year.

Perhaps Bob Timmermann already posted that fact in the DT comments, but Jon didn’t transfer it to his posts and I didn’t try and catch up on the DT comments.

^ assuming I am reading the team HR logs correctly – I am trusting the “ENDED GAME” notation from baseball-reference as being accurate.

Don’t know if Loney is hurt. Yesterday I saw Torre talking to Loney just outside the clubhouse, and used the words “do whatever you have to do…” (if my lip reading skills are accurate). I assumed yesterday he was just telling Loney he was getting a day off but maybe he told him he would get two days off. Loney was 3-24 last week (and I think is 1 for 19 too).

Billingsley not starting Weds. No starter announced yet. Shows what I know #dodgers13 minutes ago from Twittelator

I have the Dodgers Win Probability for tonight’s game at 54.89%, with an Over/Under of 8.39.

Wednesday’s win probablity could get pretty ugly if Chad is indeed scratched. Defintely will be the Dodgers lowest WP of the season.

From 8/1-8/31, is this the only period when a team can “pull back” a player from waivers?

No, they can be pulled back anytime they are put on waivers. August is the only time people are trying to trade using waivers, thus the need to pull back players.

You’re not hyping up this series enough. This isn’t just a baseball series, it’s a battle between good and evil :)

According to Sports Club Stats, there is a 2.3% swing for the Dodgers chances of making the playoffs dependent upon the outcome of tonight’s game. On the otherhand for the Giants, they have an 8.9% swing. Rockies also have a 3.9% swing dependent upon the winner of the Dodgers game.
