Twenty-eight at-bats. Two hits. One run. That was the offense last night. There is no defending it and no analyzing it. Some nights you just no-show.

Twenty-eight at-bats. Two hits. One run. That was the offense last night. There is no defending it and no analyzing it. Some nights you just no-show.

Johnny Roseboro caught 1,476 games for the Dodgers. He won four pennants and three World Series. And in a sport that ate Black catchers alive in the 1960s, he was the steadiest, smartest battery mate of his generation.

All five Dodgers affiliates won on Friday. OKC's River Ryan was filthy, Tulsa's Freeland threw seven shutout, and Great Lakes' Harlan went 4-for-4 with a triple.

In the Dodgers first ten seasons in Los Angeles, they had 10 different opening day third basemen. Dick Gray opened at 3rd in 58. In 59, Jim Baxes. In order from 60-67, Gilliam, T. Davis, Darryl Spencer, McMullen, Werhas, Kennedy, Lefebvre. The first player in LA history, to…

I am very adept at discerning the obvious immediately. With last night’s win over the Midgets, the Dodgers slipped back into first place in the NL West with the 3rd best record in the National League and the 5th best in all of baseball. However, anything less than 162-0 is…

Albuquerque Isotopes (Rox) 8 – OKC Comets 2 LHSP Cole Irvin significantly struggled in his 1.1 IP. He had some traffic with a single and BB in the 1 st . But that was simply a preview. In the 2 nd , after the leadoff batter K’d , a double, BB, E6 loaded the bases. A triple…

I remember a couple of years ago and again last year, when many Dodger fans wanted to get rid of Max Muncy and bring in Nolan Arenado. I remember that many thought Mookie Betts could not play SS, and after last season, Andy Pages was toast. Many also thought that Alex Freeland…

Mark was right, as were AVF and dodgerrick. Mark could be right and all that is required is patience for the (older) guys to start to produce. AVF and dodgerrick are right that this team may be getting too old to ignore. I doubt that anyone would disagree that this team is built…

Many years ago, 1973 in fact, when the Mets were fighting the Cubs for the division title, a fan showed up with a sign that said “You gotta believe” The phrase itself was coined by Mets reliever, Tug McGraw. Fans picked up on it, and it was seen throughout their run to the World…

Here is some MiLB news while we contemplate who is going to hit for the Dodgers besides Andy Pages. And when is Alex Call going to get more playing time. And why is Hyeseong Kim and Alex Freeland the only appatent runners who bust their ass down the line. At least Mookie was…

Hitting for the cycle happens at about the same rate as no-hitters. Although with pitch counts the way they are, it is going to take a special effort by a starter to notch a no-hitter. Many of the cycles in baseball, are not accomplished by power hitters. There have been to…

OKC Comets 6 – Salt Lake City Bees (LAA) 5 Before the seats got warm, with RHSP Cole Irvin on the bump, SLC had a 1-0 lead after a leadoff double and RBI single. OKC got the run back in the bottom of the 1 st . 3B Kiké Hernández had a one-out single, and 1B Ryan Ward hit a RBI…
