MLB Now showed footage from the 1965 World Series where Koufax elicited swords from hitters and they were considered to not have gone around on the pitches which, if you see the clip, will practically boggle your mind.

I'm sure he's probably not the only guy to have ever done it, but my all time favorite checked swing was  when Willie Horton broke his bat.

It was probably a lot harder to check a swing on a 40-ounce bat than on today’s 32-ouncers.

Watched the end of the AZ vs LAD game. AZ went up 2 in the top of the 10th. In comes none other than Shelby Miller to pitch the bottom. LAD scores 3 to walk it off. 

Crazy ending but just as much on our old friend, Torey Lovullo.  Zona chose to intentionally walk what was the winning run, granted that guy was Shohei Ohtani, but that’s a pretty questionable strategy.  Betts sacrificed the runner to 3rd and inexplicably they don’t hold Ohtani on first base even with a double play and he promptly steals second essentially forcing them to intentionally walk Freeman to load the bases up but still up 1 with one out.    Miller hits the next guy with a pitch to tie the game and an easy sac fly wins it for the Dodgers.

They'll learn not to use him to close soon enough...🙄

In April, he had a bunch of holds, a zero ERA and a 287 OPS against. In May, being used to close, he has 5.83 ERA and 929 OPS against.

The American League is doing pretty well against the National League right now.

The Minnesota Twins swept three from the Giants then took two of three from the Brewers.

The Kansas City Royals just took two of three from the Giants on the road.

The Angels swept 3 from the Dodgers at Dodger Stadium last weekend and the Mariners swept 3 from San Diego on the road at the same time.

Vierling did not play at all in the Double Header yesterday for Toledo.   Did he get hurt again?

 

Meadows is starting his rehab in Toledo this weekend.  

 

 

Vierling is in Lakeland as are Meadows and Perez - likely due to the weather up north.  Vierling played 3rd the past 2 games.  Meadows has played this week as well.  So far 1 for 5 with 2 walks in 2 games.
