Pitcher of the Day: Going to change it up a little and give this to Emmet Sheehan who pitched his best game of the year. Unfortunately for Sheehan that game was a AAA game and not a major league game. Still, it was good to see him shove back with a great game. Emmet got 17 …

Pitcher of the Day: Hyun-Seok Jang wasn’t particularly effective while pitching the for the Dodgers Low A affiliate the Ontario Tower Buzzers but he was promoted to the Dodger High A affiliate the Great Lake Loons anyway, and once again the Dodgers development staff looks like they know what they are doing. Jang has made …
