-Following last night’s 15 run outburst against Colorado the Dodgers are now 35-20 and have played 34% of regular season games.
-The Blue are 8-2 in their last 10 while the Padres have gone 5-5. That has provided a little cushion, but 3 1/2 game lead in late May is nothing.
-The Dodgers do tend to score runs in bunches, our run differential is the highest in baseball. And the bullpen has been lights out. It’s been good to see Mookie swing the bat well.
-On the other (Shohei’s) hand… let’s hope the baseball gods see fit to prevent an injury after Sho got plunked yesterday. Watching guys get hit in the hand, wearing pads/armor or not… it makes me squirm.
-MLB’s Ken Rosenhall is a terrible on-field reporter IMHO but a very good baseball analyst. In his latest pod he listed teams whose stock is on the rise and whose is falling. One the rise: Phillies, Cardinals, Nationals, Brewers. Falling: Cubs, Tigers, Angels, Rangers, Mets. In between: Orioles, Twins, Blue Jays.
-I was in Kentucky last weekend and got to go to the Louisville Slugger museum and factory, where 80% of major league baseball bats are made (we visited *a few* bourbon distilleries in the area as well). It’s an active factory, they were making bats while we were walking through the place. And I got to hold Babe Ruth game used bat. Pretty cool!
