And I am Bob Ryan of the Boston Globe and ESPN. And we welcome you to the Thursday morning

edition of the Sports Reporters podcast. We're with you each Monday and Thursday. And we are in

late August. And to me, all that training camp stuff aside of football. That's a little nice and

dandy. It's baseball season,

damn it. And we're getting into the heated action here. And last night we had a game,

I won't say for the ages, but we had a game for the season. We had a game that has tumbled

out with more numbers that are astonishing, that I am going to insist that we get to

before this conversation is over. But it was the Dodgers beating. Hey, no teases. Give us the numbers

now. The Dodgers won in 16 innings, longest game of the year. Go ahead. Number one, it's five

hours and 49 minutes. It is the first game to go past 13 innings since we put the runner on second base. Number two, there were

489 pitches thrown by, are you ready? Are you sitting down everyone out there in America

and in ships at sea? Nineteen pitchers, 10 by the Dodgers, nine by the Padres. There were

35 men left on base in the game. Oh, I'm just getting rolling. I'm just getting started.

The San Diego Padres in all these at-bats, are you ready?

I hope you have to lay down.

Don't sit down because it might be too much excitement.

They were four for 52.

The Padres had four hits and 52 at-bats.
