Angels go big
Last night I looked in on the Angel game and noticed Chris Hatcher pitching for the A’s. The Angels trailed in the game, but not for long, as the Angels would knock around Hatcher and go onto win the game 10 – 8. They had trailed 8 – 3 at one after giving up eight …
Alex Verdugo is on his way
Alex Verdugo will be joining the team this Friday Alex Verdugo will join #Dodgers in SD when rosters expand. Joc Pederson will not. Likely later when AAA season ends — Bill Plunkett (@billplunkettocr) August 31, 2017 , and if Corey Seager still has problems with the elbow I could see him getting some playing time. …
Remember when the Dodgers never lost if they scored four runs?
The Dodgers lost two games in April when they scored four runs or more. The Dodgers lost four games in May when they scored four runs or more. The Dodger lost one game in June when they scored four runs or more. They lost zero games in July when they scored four runs or more. …

I was wrong on Adrian, I had hoped that Adrian would show that with his back somewhat healed he could once again provide some butter and eggs but instead he has looked very much like the same player who displayed an …
Fontastic
Wilmer Font completed his amazing regular season in AAA with a flourish, pitching six shutout innings. Font finished the game with six innings, three hits, zero runs, one walk, and eight strikeouts. Font will surely be the Pacific Coast League Pitcher of the Year finishing the year 2nd in ERA with those above 100 innings …
Can Stanton lead Marlins into the postseason?
Giancarlo Stanton for me epitomises what an MVP player is. He is taking a team that has no business having any postseason aspirations and placed them on his shoulders as he tries to carry a load that no mere mortal could handle. Split PA HR RBI OBP SLG OPS April/March 100 7 16 .350 .529 …
