On Sunday the Dodgers honored the memories of Gianna and Kobe Bryant on what would have been his 42nd birthday. In addition to the pregame ceremony, Gianna and Kobe’s uniform numbers were painted on the pitchers mound for today’s game against the Rockies. See it above. Pic via @Dodgers on twitter:
“That credit goes to those guys and obviously the player,” Bard said. “The whole driving down to the city park and throwing it against the net, it seems like that’d be an easy thing but after the third week of it when you’re an elite professional baseball player, sometimes that can get a little monotonous. Kudos to these guys that they kept competing, trying to stay ready. It speaks to the culture Dave built here.”
Congrats to @ClaytonKersh22 for passing Don Drysdale on Dodgers all time strikeout list!! Passing baseball legends and cementing his legendary status!!
Per Ed Odeven at Japan Forward -- "BASEBALL | Nomomania: Former Dodgers Executive Fred Claire Reminisces About 1995 Joyride."
“So when it came time to meet with Don in my office at Dodger Stadium about a contract for Hideo, and this became very impressive to me about Hideo: I told Don that I wanted to sign Hideo, but it would not be a major league contract. It would be a minor league contract. And he said, ‘Oh, no Fred, it’s gotta be a major league contract.’
“I said, ‘No, Don, I want you to explain to Hideo that major league contracts in the Dodger organization have been earned, and not given. We haven’t given a major league contract to any player. They are earned through our system, and then they have the opportunity.’
“And Hideo, it seemed to resonate with him, in my view, sitting across the room, that he understood that this was something that he was going to have to prove that he was worthy of the major league contract. And then Hideo said through Don to [tell] me, ‘OK, Hideo understands that, and he doesn’t dispute that, but he’s asking one thing: If he does sign, will he be given a chance to make the major league club.’ ”
Diamond Kinetics develops small motion-tracking sensors that are embedded into bats, baseballs, and softballs. The sensors track metrics such as a hitter’s launch angle, swing speed, and exit velocity, as well as pitching metrics such as velocity, spin rate, and arm extension on each throw. Players and coaches can view tracked metrics through Diamond Kinetics’ mobile apps.
WTF! Per Eric Stephen at Halos Heaven -- "Mike Trout rookie baseball card sells for a record $3.936 million." Wow! I guess we should not doubt Vegas Dave. He was criticized for buying the card for $400,000 a couple of years back, but I guess he gets the last laugh.
