Bill Singer On July 20, 1970, righty Bill Singer threw what was the 18th no-hitter in Dodger history and the first since Koufax’s perfect game in 1965. In doing so he accomplished something that Dodger legends like Don Drysdale and Don Sutton never did. He threw a no-hitter in a…
… right about now would be a panic move that nothing good would likely come from. Anytime you think you HAVE to make a trade, you will always overpay! Every time. Sometimes you have to, but there is no reason to do so right about now. Yes, the Dodgers have lost Blake Treinen…
That’s what happens when you build such a deep pitching staff. What the Devil was Andrew Friedman thinking? He just assembled a cast of too many pitchers and was too easy on some and too hard on others… or at least that’s the rumor. Well, Caleb Ferguson isn’t happy with how long…
Bob Welch #35 My most memorable memory of Bob Welch was his confrontation with Reggie Jackson as a 21-year-old in the 1978 World Series game two. He struck Mr. October out to win the game. Epic battle. The slugger against the fireballing rookie. The Dodgers would end up losing…
8 runs on 9 Hits. That’s better… not good! But I’ll take it! Freddie Freeman is smoking hot! Will Smith is white-hot, and Bellinger, Taylor, Turner, and Muncy were 2-14! YIKES! Gavin Lux is hitting .290. I am happy for him, and Trayce Thompson hit a 2-run double that was legit…
There is an old saying “All hat, no cattle” which is an American expression referring to someone who is all talk but no action. It is also used to describe someone who presents the appearance of something they aren’t. It is similar to the British expression “all mouth and no…
Tomorrow at about 3 PM EDT, my brother (a Reds fan) and I, along with another US Water Systems employee who is also a Reds fan will pile into the Rocket Ship and head to Cincinnati. It’s an employee entertainment perk, so I can write it off. 😉 I call my Ford F-150 “ The Rocket…
Let’s get right to it. THE GOOD Andrew Heaney – In his return from the IL, he took up where he left off with 5 IP, 5 H, 1 ER, 1 BB, 7 K’s. That was a very encouraging performance. The Bazooka – He did allow a hit, but closed out his inning with 2 Ks. Yency Almonte – He just does…
No two people are the same. We all have opinions, proclivities, and prejudices. We are biased, trained, taught, and simple… while complicated. We are human. We are Dodger Fans. I have been through the bad times and the good times. I have had my heart broken many times. I have…
The Oklahoma City Dodgers’ 4A Affiliate, the Los Angeles Dodgers, continued to be unable to get a clutch hit, even on a night when Cody Bellinger got two hits, including a 2-Run HR, again leading us to wonder for the 37th time this year “Is Cody Getting his MojoBack?” I would…
I watch selected Minor League Games, sometimes switching from OKC to Tulsa to Great Lakes and even to Ranch Cucamonga. Last night I watch Bobby Miller take the mound for the Tulsa Drillers as they played the Wichita Wind Surge at ONEOK Field in Tulsa. Bobby Miller earned his…
In my opinion, Ryan Pepiot has graduated from AAA as has Mitch White . There is nothing for them to do or accomplish there – It is time for the Show. That also might apply to Mike Busch . By the All-Star Break, he could be in the Show, as he hit his 4th AAA HR last night. He…
