Eighteen years ago I thought I’d be getting on a flight to NY
and head to Cooperstown right about now for the first time in my life. I could have gone when Don Sutton was inducted, but to be honest, Don never stirred my spirit. Don did pitch a 1 – 0 shutout against the Pirates in the first game I ever saw, and pitched many a brilliant …
Prospect of the day – Chase De Jong
Another day, another day of fine performances by the prospects, but ultimately Chase De Jong takes the daily title by virtue of his complete game victory. De Jong only had to go seven innings to get his complete game because Tulsa was playing a double header. In those seven innings, De Jong twirled a no-hitter …
POTW battle explodes between Justin Turner and Jedd Gyroko
As noted earlier today Justin Turner and Jeff Gyroko are two players who should garner some Player of the Week votes this week based on what they had done earlier this week. Tonight Justin Turner thought he’d KO’s Gyroko when he slammed an Oh pitch over the CF wall giving the Dodgers a 3 – …

Battle for POTW taking place in Saint Louis this weekend
However, the participants are not who you would expect. In one corner wearing Dodger blue is Justin Turner who is at a disadvantage because he has only played three games and was facing Stephen Strasburg on Thursday. Turner has five hits in twelve at-bats, with three XBH, including two home runs and five RBI. Shockingly the …
Cardinal preview 07/22/16 If i were a Carpenter
The best part of this preview is that I don’t have to write about Matt Carpenter who is on the DL and was in the midst of a top five MVP season. The worse part is that I don’t get to write about what an incredible season Matt Carpenter is having. Last year the Cardinals …
Justin Turner is Beyonce hot
You’d be hard pressed to call Justin Turner an attractive man but right now he’s as beautiful as Beyonce to Dodger fans. You wouldn’t think that the smallish Justin Turner would be big enough to carry the Dodger offense but we’d be wrong. Hot streaks are fun to watch and even more fun when …
Imani Abdullah continues to make strides
As Imani Abdullah continues to make progress, Baseball America is taking notice: An 11th-round pick a year ago, the San Diego product has caught the Dodgers’ attention for his advanced feel. He pitched five shutout innings Thursday for low Class A Great Lakes in a 2-0 win over Kane County (Diamondbacks). Abdullah has struck out …
Dodger prospect of the day – you pick it because I can’t
It is a good thing for a farm system when you have multiple top prospects all having such good days that it is hard to make a choice between them. Yadier Alveraz struck out ten in his full-season debut Jose DeLeon matched Yadier with ten punchouts, but also threw eight scoreless innings Willie Calhoun clubbed …
Willie Calhoun and the historical 21st century AA LAD affiliate Home Run Leaderboard
Willie Calhoun slugged his 2oth home run last night so I thought it would be a good time to take a look at all the LAD AA affiliate home run leaders in the 21st century. It is only July 20th, and Willie looks like a good bet to at least end up the 2nd highest …
