Post game note: Another painful game to watch, but made worthwhile by the intense drama in the bottom of the ninth. I really enjoyed watching Joc Pederson’s final at bat and wasn’t overly disappointed at the result. Good lessons learned, but I like the way he stood in there. In my house there is one […]
POST GAME NOTE: Question answered. This is the question I keep asking myself. Is this team really good enough to win it all? Their record seems to suggest that they are. But, when I watch them play, I certainly have some doubts. Tonight is one of those nights that I’d like to see an answer […]
Can you really call it a sweep if it’s only two games? Well, I will anyway. Tonight the Dodgers take the field with a strange-ish lineup. Rojas at third. Turner at first. Van Slyke out in LF. Here’s hoping they can give Clayton the run support he deserves. Here’s what you have to say about […]
I hope Zack Greinke rises for tonight’s start. He hasn’t sounded optimistic about the recovery of his elbow or his ability to pitch up to his standards for the rest of the year. So, hopefully we’ll learn tonight whether he’s headed in the right direction or not. Looks like Donny is giving Justin Turner a […]
My daughter was absolutely giddy tonight. She knows that tomorrow if Friday, her favorite day of the week. Well, as Dodger fans know, they day we look forward to lately is Kershaw Day. We’re getting it a day earlier than expected due to the Greinke elbow and some extra days. We’ll take it, especially after […]
Post game note: that was awful. I actually fell asleep during the five run inning, thankfully. And we’re back. Now that the games have moved back to the West Coast, it’s easier for me to do the “Best of…” posts. My sleeping habits may disagree, but my family would! After getting some bad news today […]
After taking a day off for family fun here at Dodger Social, we are back with another “Best of” for today’s game. Have to admit, I feel pretty good about choosing to skip yesterday’s game as it seems it would have been too much frustration for this old man. But now to your commentary about […]
Welcome back to the Best of Social! I’m working hard to pick the tweets, pictures and other social media commentary that tells the story of tonight’s game. So check out the sights, sounds and fan reactions to the game right here! [View the story “Dodgers @ Brewers 8.8.14” on Storify] (top image source: http://instagram.com/p/rdOV5ErhwL/)
What a week! Greinke gets shelled. Kershaw shows he’s human, but the team picks him up. Dan Haren doesn’t need any picking up at all while throwing seven scoreless innings! Baseball, huh? I may not know what tonight has in store for us, but I do know that I look forward to what you have […]
After a bizarre ending and Dodger victory last night, it’s time to start a new streak. Mattingly will put the ball in Dan Haren’s hand to keep up the winning ways. Can the team help lift him up if he stumbles? I sure hope so. Oh, and it’s Carl Crawford’s birthday! Watching all the social […]
