Dodgers Notes: 4/18/25
By Those Deferred BenchWarmers When we were kids, I remember going to a Dodger game with my dad and his friends where the Dodgers faced a pitcher who was in the midst of some struggles on the mound. I don’t remember the pitcher, the team, or even the year, but I remember the Dodgers loss […]
Athletics Notes: 4/15/2025
By Tim Byrnes Back in early March, longtime Athletics insider Brodie Brazil said, “If the A’s don’t break ground in the second quarter in 2025, then there will be serious issues reaching stadium completion by Opening Day 2028. Last week, the seven Clark County Commissioners finally agreed to and approved vital land-use permits for the […]
Dodger Notes: 4/14/25
By Those Deferred BenchWarmers The 8-0 start seems like a completely different season as the Dodgers have dropped six of nine over the past week and a half. They still sit at a respectable 11-6 (the fourth best record in baseball), but are in 3rd place in the NL West and have a run differential […]
Dodgers Notes: 4/11/2025
By Those Deferred BenchWarmers It was a bit of a rough road trip for the Dodgers – on and off the field – as they finished it 2-4 and again are experiencing some injury issues with the pitching staff.
Athletics Notes: 4/11/2025
By Tim Byrnes The A’s lost a tight 2-1 game Wednesday to go 1-2 in the series against the Padres. The lone win, a 10-4 blowout Tuesday, broke an eight-game losing streak to San Diego.
Dodgers Notes: 4/7/25
By Those Deferred BenchWarmers Well, 162-0 is out of the question, but the Dodgers still saw some positives in the form of Tommy Edman continuing to hit, Roki Sasaki settling in during his third start, and the bullpen generally looking strong. A couple things are worth monitoring, however, including Blake Snell’s injury and Andy Pages’ […]
Athletics Notes: 4/7/2025
By Tim Byrnes The Athletics wrapped up their weekend series in Colorado with an uninspiring 12-5 loss to the Rockies, but they picked up their first series win of the year. The series began Friday with a 6-3 win in a beautiful light snowfall.
Dodgers Notes: 4/4/2025
By Those Deferred BenchWarmers What a series! Mookie Betts and Tommy Edman did Mookie Betts and Tommy Edman things, we got to see the official returns of Tyler Glasnow and Dustin May, and the Dodgers swept the Braves to set the record for best start by a defending champion… and, of course, Shohei Ohtani added […]
Halo Happenings: 4/3/2025
By Danny Delgado The Angels were blasted in St. Louis yesterday, 12-5, done in by Cardinals catcher Ivan Herrera’s three home runs and six runs batted in. Mike Trout’s first home run of the season was lost in the contest, as was Logan O’Hoppe’s grand slam. Still, the club’s off to a surprising 4-2 start, […]
Athletics Notes: 4/3/2025
By Tim Byrnes Broomhandled! All love to the ‘Gingers’ of the world, but the Athletics were smacked around like the proverbial ‘red-headed step-child.’ Fans attending the Sacramento debut on Monday evening saw fighter jets, fireworks, and 28 Rickey Hendersons on the field. All that couldn’t save A’s from the Cubs’ 18-3 drubbing.
