I can see an unassisted triple play coming up today then :)
Linkmeister
He’ll do The Internationale at the 7th inning stretch, so it’s all good.

Had to look it up. It surprises me it survived past Castro’s revolution. Typically the winners like to throw out all appurtenances of the former regime.

I replied to a post of yours in the previous thread, Bob, but am repeating it to increase the chance you see it.
My opinion is not the same as yours on the black/white question you seem
to raise here. It is a question of “From everyone to whom much has
been given, much will be required; and from the one to whom much has been entrusted, even more will be demanded” (Luke 12:48, New Revised Standard Version Bible) expresses my analysis quite well.

And this post made me laugh out loud!

So, if several Dodgers race around the bases at the same time, Puigs will be flying?

Great to have Vin calling the game. (Well, always, of course)
KT
I’m stuck with the Padres feed so I only have him for 3 innings

Beats having Lyons tell us about when he first came up.

The true slide closer to oblivion this year started with that terrible and injurious series in San Diego.
Let’s hope the true recovery begins with this series.
(Tho this is an inauspicious beginning . . . )

Much more auspicious!

Alright now let’s turn two

After weeks of speculation and intrigue
The Dodgers have finally promoted Puig
He arrives from Cuba
By way of Chattanooga
Now we’ll see if Yasiel’s talent is big league.
Anonymous
He is not Cuba’s best, but I think he will be an above replacement player for several years.

He’s got us waxing poetic!
KT
good quick inning

SVS!!!!

Van Slyke making sure we don’t forget about him… now if Ethier can do the same.
Anonymous
Van Slyke has been an unsung hero for the Blue Crew. I wonder is he has any possibility of playing 3rd? Could he convert?
Jeffrey Thomas III
He has played a lot of 1st but Adrian has that locked up. Seems he’ll mostly be a 4th outfielder/bench guy.

What is the best first major league game at the plate that any of you can remember?
This one sticks in my memory. I remember getting updates about it from Vinnie on the radio while listening to a Dodger game as a kid at the Santa Monica Beach.

I see that Sparky played in that game.

It was Anderson’s only season in the majors. He batted .218 in 152 games. Far, far better career as a manager, and a heckuva nice guy.

Didn’t like his Reds, though.

The Dodgers-Reds rivalry in the 70s was tenacious. Many great games. The Reds won the pennant in 70, 72, 75 and 76, the Dodgers in 74, 77 and 78. Was there anything better than attending a twilight doubleheader at Dodger Stadium on a summer evening? I wish the Dodgers would schedule at least one of those a year.
Anonymous
I agree they were great rivals. I just didn’t like many of their players, particularly Rose.
Anonymous
One year he said if we beat the Dodgers this year they will have to move to the Philippines and become the Manila Folders
KT
I did because the 1st little league team I played for was the farm reds and I started following them while rooting for the Dodgers…I would root for the Reds when they weren’t playing each other

Puig’s arrival adds a level of excitement that I haven’t felt since Opening Day, We suffering Dodgers fans need that.

Puig looks like a ballplayer! (but, then again, so does Punto)

Vin didn’t seem too enthusiastic on that 15 dinger thing. Must have felt silly. Wonder who came up with that.
KT
Ramon/Gonzo combo to get a huge pickoff
KT
with both the snakes and rocks having lost…time to gain some ground
KT
Another good inning Stephen
KT
time to start the offense again…if that means dingers so be it

two strong throws by Puig

Guys got a gun, that’s for sure.

I have to admit….
I kinda hurried home from the office so I could see Puig’s debut.
Impressive player.
However, ……………….. IMHO…………… (just by looking at his face)
…..
Puig is 22 , like Fernando was 18.
;-)
Jeffrey Thomas III
Seems like a very premature hook here.
Anonymous
I wouldn”t be in such a hurry to get to the pen either.
Jeffrey Thomas III
Got out of that well enough, but three more innings to go.
KT
we only used Moylan and guerrier on Sunday
Jeffrey Thomas III
Oh I’m not worried that the pen has been used too much, just that they’re terrible.

If Stults could pitch against the Dodgers every time, he would still BE a Dodger! But that’s the magical talent the Blue have this year . . . elevating most every pitcher they face.

C’mon, Andre — tie SVS for HRs.

Another game in which the bullpen is walking on a tightrope.

Okay Puig outshines Fife. Puig is – pretty good and enjoyable to watch.

I really liked his hustle down the line in the 9th, and the final play.

WOW! What a debut!

Very impressive. Two hits and an outfield assist. I might have to upgrade from basic cable just to watch this guy.

KT, you have the magic touch — you call it, it happens!
How appropriate Puig is in on the end play!

I like Puig’s hustle’ he plays with speed and intensity.
Jeffrey Thomas III
What a finish. His arm looked even more impressive than his bat tonight.

He seems to blend well with the vets… He was killing me when he was singing the words to his intro song at the plate.
Jeffrey Thomas III
That made me laugh. Seems really loose. As long is he is still disciplined that’s great.

For his debut, he seemed to have nice pitch selection at the plate – time will tell…

He’s not Manny . . . but we’re getting another Ramirez back any day, right? This could start to get exciting!
