At a very early age, I loved to read. When I began to love the game of baseball, I read every book in the school library I possibly could on the subject. Some were novels about the game like John R. Tunis’s series about the Brooklyn Dodgers. Others were biography’s written…
OKC Comets 10 – Round Rock Express (Texas) 3 LHSP Blake Snell on his 1 st rehab start at OKC and 3 rd overall. He was scheduled to go 4.0 innings and approximately 60 pitches. Mission accomplished with 4.0 IP and 55 pitches (37 strikes). Snell allowed 2 hits, a 1 st inning…
The Dodgers almost came back last night when their backs were against the wall… but it was not to be. Instead, they lost their 4th in a row and are 4-6 in their last 10 games. I predicted that the Dodgers would go through some times this year where they looked like they were…
OKC is in the Pacific Coast League, a notorious hitter friendly league. Big hitter parks include, Salt Lake City, Reno, Las Vegas, Albuquerque, El Paso, Sacramento…It is a 10 team League, with two 5-team divisions. The team is 14-16 good for 4 th place in the PCL East, and 8 th…
He isn’t a product of the Dodgers system; he was actually drafted by the Astros in the 6th round in 2009. He started his pro career in the Gulf League, a rookie level team. He was 17 years old. He showed versatility from the beginning playing SS and 2B primarily. He played in 53…
Last week when the Dodgers faced the Giants, their all-time record against each other was tied at 1,288-1,288. What you did not see were the 17 ties that they have had. So, I thought it would be interesting to see how they have fared against the teams in the National League…
OKC Comets 7- Round Rock Express (Texas) 3 OKC jumped out to a 5-0 lead in the top of the 1 st . 2B Ryan Fitzpatrick led off with a single, and with one out, 1B Ryan Ward slugged 2-run HR (5). RF James Tibbs III followed with a double (8). CF Zach Ehrhard reached on a E-4. LF…
Just three short years ago, Diego Cartaya was the top prospect for the Los Angeles Dodgers and had a bright future as a Catcher. I did an interview with Cartaya, and he seemed like a great guy (I can’t find the video right now). Here was Baseball America’s Scouting Report on…
On the Dodgers last road trip, they first went to Colorado, a team with the worst record in the majors. They got a stellar starting performance from Tyler Glasnow who went 7 innings and allowed just one run on two hits and two walked. Dreyer then came in and pitched two innings…
Tacoma Rainiers (Seattle) 3 – OKC Comets 2 LHSP Cole Irvin started for OKC. He allowed a HR in the 1 st , and a another in the 4 th . Overall, Irvin pitched well enough to win in the PCL. Just the two runs on 5 hits and 3 BB. He did strike out one. But he left trailing 2-0 after…
I always pick a player from a draft and he immediately becomes a favorite. In 2019, I was more of an advocate for Michael Busch than Kody Hoese. But he was too high in the draft. Rarely do I choose a top pick in the draft. Some of my friends were surprised it was not the 6’6”…
There has been a lot of conversation recently about who should hit leadoff for the Dodgers. Shohei Ohtani has been the leadoff hitter in nearly every game he has played for the Dodgers in 2024 and 2025, and it remains the same this year. Oh, and I should mention that with Ohtani…
