Not long ago during an interview, Dodger first baseman Freddie Freeman said he wanted to play four more years which would give him 20 in the majors and take him to his age 40 season. His reasons for this are his goal of reaching 3,000 hits and finishing with a .300 batting…
I am not just asking for MiLB to MLB, but for every ladder of the organization. It is widely suggested that once a player reaches and succeeds at AA, he is deemed near MLB ready. That does not mean they are deemed future MLB stars or even regulars. There have been a handful of…
OKC Comets 5 – Sugar Land Space Cowboys (Houston) 1 OKC got some excellent pitching both from LHSP Cole Irvin and the 3 relievers. https://twitter.com/OKC_comets/status/2061191287273848899?s=20 OKC got the first run on DH James Tibbs III’s solo HR (17) in the 4 th inning. Irvin…
Last season when Scott came into a game, Dodger fans held their breath. Their supposed closer had a disastrous season. Signed to a four-year contract, he was not performing like a star reliever. He did manage to log 23 saves on the year. But it was the 10 blown saves that the…
Dayton is an easy two-hour drive from Indy, but due to road construction, it took an extra half hour. I grew up near Dayton, and Dayton was never a nice city in my mind. Every big city has its bad areas, but Dayton seemed to have more than its share. I am happy to report that…

In all the years playing all kinds of sports (at an amateur level), I did not have a hamstring strain until I was 52 years old, and it was a doozy! Grade 3, which is the worst. My wife was making fun of me, saying, “Rub some dirt on it.” However, the next morning the whole back…
OKC Comets 12 – Sugar Land Space Cowboys (Houston) 1 OKC and Sugar Land took a scoreless tie into the 4 th inning when OKC erupted for a crooked number. 3B Tyler Fitzgerald hit a one out double (5) that was followed by a BB to LF Ryan Fitzgerald . With 2 outs C Eliézer Alfonzo…
Carl Reginald Smith was born on April 2nd, 1945, in Shreveport Louisiana. His father played in the Negro Leagues; his mother was a gifted musician.
With this team, hitting is a group sport. When two are seeing it, four are. When two go cold, the whole lineup goes cold. It's the strangest offense I've watched in 40 years.
It is always beyond good to go into Milwaukee and take two out of three. The bullpen looked like the bullpen we were promised in February.
Since the Guggenheim Group took over in 2012, the fortunes of the Los Angeles Dodgers have been on a 13-year ride that any fan who lived through the McCourt years should never take for granted.
