The only one we have, Troy?

[ettin]

Have to imagine that, barring a trade, Nick Franklin or Shane Robinson will be dropped from the 40-man to make room for Troy.

I thought maybe it was another one since I could find nothing about Troy being sent up.

Don't hide it in this thread get a link and post a new thread!

Sanchez hit a homer to tie up the Yankee game.  

They have a very exciting young core.  Frazier, Judge (yes bring up his numbers since the ASG), Sanchez, and if any of their prospects like Sheffield, Adams, or Torres can deliver on the hype, they're going to be very good for a while.

 

Granted the guys in the majors aren't exactly proven and established, but the promise is definitely there.

Since the ASG, Judge is batting .180 with an OPS of .683

MVP

[Angel Oracle]

Altuve, the 2010's answer to 1970's Moe Jorgan

Same small stature and huge production at 2B

Only difference is Altuve hitting right handed.

Makes up for the Astros stupidly trading Jorgan after 1971 to the Reds for a decent slugger in Lee May and basically dreck otherwise.

Dodgers win again...yawn

38-6 in their last 44 games. The last team to do that was the 1942 St. Louis Cardinals.

They are 42 games over .500

[fan_since79]

Beltre gets his 3,000th hit, the first Dominican player to do so.

We could have had him...what, a thousand hits ago?

The Dodgers' story has moved into the realm of the absurd.

A rookie catcher in his first ML at-bat delivered a walk-off two-run double in the 11th inning. He was the last position player left and was hitting for the pitcher.

Magical for sure, but the magic is bound to run out.

 

That and wtf are the Giants doing with Dyson? Yikes. There's a reason why the Rangers dumped him.

[fan_since79]

Kyle Farmer has a memory for a lifetime. It's all downhill from here for the kid. LOL.

 

 

[Tyler]

Yikes to give up Lewis Brinson for Lucroy and then end up trading Lucroy for a PTBNL. Ouch.

[fan_since79]

Driving home and listening to the Dodger game, I just heard a ridiculous stat:

Dodgers are 60-0 this year when leading after five innings.

They're up 3-0 over the Braves after five.

 

[Troll Daddy]

Remember this guy lol

Dodgers 40-6 in their last 46 games. Two of those losses were to the Angels.

20-2 in their last 22.

Best record in their franchise history after 106 games.

If they don't get to the Series this year, there will be recriminations.

Getting to the series is still a tall order in the NL

They'll lose in the first round.

[zenmaster]

44 games above .500 for the Dodgers. Not so bad.

2001 Seattle Mariners. 116 wins. Best offense AND pitching in the AL. Lost ALCS to Yankees, 4 games to 1.

Baseball is full of postseason upsets, some more shocking than others. 1954 Indians, 1969 Orioles, 1990 A's, etc.
