8 runs on 9 Hits. That’s better… not good! But I’ll take it! Freddie Freeman is smoking hot! Will Smith is white-hot, and Bellinger, Taylor, Turner, and Muncy were 2-14! YIKES! Gavin Lux is hitting .290. I am happy for him, and Trayce Thompson hit a 2-run double that was legit! I am very happy for Trayce. Andreson struggled but kept the Dodgers in the game. His ERA sits at…
There is an old saying “All hat, no cattle” which is an American expression referring to someone who is all talk but no action. It is also used to describe someone who presents the appearance of something they aren’t. It is similar to the British expression “all mouth and no trousers”. Watford Dodger can confirm the authenticity of that statement. In the Dodger’s case, it is “All Hit, No Runs.“…
Tomorrow at about 3 PM EDT, my brother (a Reds fan) and I, along with another US Water Systems employee who is also a Reds fan will pile into the Rocket Ship and head to Cincinnati. It’s an employee entertainment perk, so I can write it off. 😉 I call my Ford F-150 “The Rocket Ship” because it has a 450 HP Raptor Engine and a 10-Speed Transmission. It does…
Let’s get right to it. THE GOOD Andrew Heaney – In his return from the IL, he took up where he left off with 5 IP, 5 H, 1 ER, 1 BB, 7 K’s. That was a very encouraging performance. The Bazooka – He did allow a hit, but closed out his inning with 2 Ks. Yency Almonte – He just does whatever is asked. Will Smith – He is…
No two people are the same. We all have opinions, proclivities, and prejudices. We are biased, trained, taught, and simple… while complicated. We are human. We are Dodger Fans. I have been through the bad times and the good times. I have had my heart broken many times. I have seen defeat snatched from the jaws of victory! I have seen the Dodgers lose when they should have won, but…
The Oklahoma City Dodgers’ 4A Affiliate, the Los Angeles Dodgers, continued to be unable to get a clutch hit, even on a night when Cody Bellinger got two hits, including a 2-Run HR, again leading us to wonder for the 37th time this year “Is Cody Getting his MojoBack?” I would rather not say! The Dodgers combined to strand 26 runners on base on a night when the hitting was…
I watch selected Minor League Games, sometimes switching from OKC to Tulsa to Great Lakes and even to Ranch Cucamonga. Last night I watch Bobby Miller take the mound for the Tulsa Drillers as they played the Wichita Wind Surge at ONEOK Field in Tulsa. Bobby Miller earned his third win of the season as he led the Drillers with a strong night on the mound as Tulsa scored just…
In my opinion, Ryan Pepiot has graduated from AAA as has Mitch White. There is nothing for them to do or accomplish there – It is time for the Show. That also might apply to Mike Busch. By the All-Star Break, he could be in the Show, as he hit his 4th AAA HR last night. He needs to bring his BA up… and he will. Jake Lamb allegedly has…
The Dodger’s former Ace, Walker Buehler, had arthroscopic surgery yesterday to remove a bone spur. They say that does not accept his return timetable. A bone spur could not have caused any of his arm issues either… right? Of course not. It’s just his arm! There is really no other way to spin this… but Tony Gonsolin is now the Dodger’s Ace. I mean, if he isn’t, who is? He…
What comes to mind when the name Yogi is mentioned? For some it is a cartoon character bear. But before that show, there was a guy named Lawrence who as a youth was tagged with that nickname. He was small in stature, but one of the best there ever would be at his given craft. Lawrence Peter Berra was born in St. Louis Missouri on May 12, 1925 to Pietro…
