OKC Comets 5 – Sugar Land Space Cowboys (Houston) 1 OKC got some excellent pitching both from LHSP Cole Irvin and the 3 relievers. OKC got the first run on DH James Tibbs III’s solo HR (17) in the 4th inning. Irvin got the first two outs in the bottom of the 4th, but he issued his only BB to the 3rd hitter and that was followed by 2 singles…
OKC Comets 12 – Sugar Land Space Cowboys (Houston) 1 OKC and Sugar Land took a scoreless tie into the 4th 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 singled to load the bases. RF Zach Ehrhard singled home a pair, and leadoff hitter DH…
The Dodgers are about face a very tough NL adversary, Milwaukee Brewers. The Brewers have reached the playoffs 7 out of the last 8 years. They have reached NLCS in two of them, both times they lost to Dodgers (2018 and 2025). The Dodgers also beat Milwaukee in the 2020 Wild Card. They are widely considered one of the best organizations in development of pitchers. They are almost always near…
OKC Comets 6 – Reno Aces (Dbacks) 4 RHSP Christian Romero pitched a decent 5.0 innings. He allowed 1 run on 5 hits, 2 BB, with 7 K. OKC jumped out to a lead in the 1st. After the first two were out, 1B Ryan Ward and DH James Tibbs III drew walks. CF Jack Suwinski singled home Ward. LF Ryan Fitzgerald singled to score Tibbs III and Suwinski came…
Forbes estimates the Dodgers value going into 2026 at $7.8 billion, a $1 billion increase from 2025, a 14.7% increase. This was after a 25% jump in 2025 from 2024. The Dodgers are a cash cow and now have NYY in their sights as the top valued MLB franchise. How has this value bonanza manifested into salaries? The LAD 2015 payroll was $298MM. Todd Boehly said this prior to the…
OKC Comets 10 – Albuquerque Comets (Colorado) 2 Another big night for 3B Alex Freeland. RHSP Ryder Ryan was making his first starting since coming off the IL, and he pitched 2.0 innings, allowing a single and registering 3 K. RHRP Griff McGarry relieved Ryan in the 3rd and pitched a scoreless inning with 2 BB and 2 K. Comets broke through in the 4th. DH James Tibbs III drew…
I am very adept at discerning the obvious immediately. With last night’s win over the Midgets, the Dodgers slipped back into first place in the NL West with the 3rd best record in the National League and the 5th best in all of baseball. However, anything less than 162-0 is considered a failure by some. Oh, well. Tonight, they drive to Anaheim and play the pathetic Angels, who are the…
Albuquerque Isotopes (Rox) 8 – OKC Comets 2 LHSP Cole Irvin significantly struggled in his 1.1 IP. He had some traffic with a single and BB in the 1st. But that was simply a preview. In the 2nd, after the leadoff batter K’d , a double, BB, E6 loaded the bases. A triple scored 3, and that runner scored on a FC. A BB and infield single loaded the bases. …
Mark was right, as were AVF and dodgerrick. Mark could be right and all that is required is patience for the (older) guys to start to produce. AVF and dodgerrick are right that this team may be getting too old to ignore. I doubt that anyone would disagree that this team is built on SLG, pitching, and defense. That is how they got to and won the last two WS….
Here is some MiLB news while we contemplate who is going to hit for the Dodgers besides Andy Pages. And when is Alex Call going to get more playing time. And why is Hyeseong Kim and Alex Freeland the only appatent runners who bust their ass down the line. At least Mookie was doing so in OKC. Kim is looking more impressive every game (ignoring the error). His game deserves…
