FFA – Week ending 4/8/18 – Angelo Mora and Brock Stewart
I had no idea who Angelo Mora was, but he was playing shortstop and batting fourth for the Tulsa Drillers, and by the end of the week he had sewn up the first Farm Factory Award of 2018 by going eight for twelve with five extra-base hits. Looking towards google we found a write up on him …
Dodgers have plenty to worry about
It is only five games but here are some concerns. Kenley Jansen – not only has Kenley been ineffective, his skills don’t look good, and possibly worst of all, no one wants to see a pitcher rubbing their pitching shoulder for as long as Kenley was doing the other night. The velocity is down, that …
As Dodgers regroup Walker Buehler makes his 2018 minor league debut
While the Dodgers get a travel day to figure out their offense and why they can’t win when the two best pitchers pitch, the minor league schedule opens with Walker Buehler highlighting the schedule. Buehler is the odds-on favorite to get the first call when the Dodgers need a starter. Heck if Kenley Jansen has …
Fontastic
Wilmer Font couldn’t keep the Dodgers from losing last night but he gave it his best effort. The 27-year-old is mostly looked upon by Dodger fans as simply keeping the spot warm until Kimi Garcia or Tom Koehler are ready and they may be right, but for one night the big hard-throwing righty showed why …
As losses go this one was fabulous
Much like game five of the World Series, the Dodgers blew two huge leads but this time the leads were only six runs combined instead of seven, and they didn’t have the best pitcher in baseball on the mound, only the best closer. The Dodgers staked Ryu to a three-run lead but even with the …
The GB&U Game Four
Dodgers win 9 – 0. Record now 2 – 2. The Dodger offense came alive on Sunday Night while the pitching continued to throw up zeroes. With two games in the book, the talk was all about the Dodgers inability to score any runs but two games later the story is all about the incredible …
The GB&U Game Three
Dodgers score some runs, the pitching continues to keep all Panikless Giants off the board and the Dodgers get their first win 5 – 0 moving their record to 1 – 2. The Good: Kenta Maeda was dominant for five innings. That might be all they get from him this year but if he can continue …
The GB&U Game two
Dodgers lose again 1 – 0 making them 0 – 2 for the season. The Giants win the first two games of the year 1 – 0 on solo home runs by Joe Panik. Until someone proves me wrong, I’m going with the idea that this has rarely happened in baseball. Rare enough to lose …
The GB&U Game one edition
Dodger record is 0 – 1. Last year the Dodgers scored fourteen runs on opening day and were shutout in game two. A reversal of that would be cool. The Good: Clayton Kershaw gave up only one run. He wasn’t as sharp as he had been this spring but he did his job with runners …
