Here's a nice little pic made by the @Dodgers on twitter.
- Hilarious! Well, maybe not so hilarious. The day before the now infamous brawl at Petco yesterday, David Temple at FanGraphs penned a piece beseeching Carlos Quentin to learn to get out of inside pitches.
- Dave Cameron at FanGraphs also takes an analytical look at the pitch that cause all the fuss yesterday.
For the record, last night’s pitch from Greinke was plotted at -1.504, so it is just barely outside of that sample area. It was certainly inside and off the plate, but most batters would not have been hit by that pitch.
- As you know, Matt Kemp confronted Quentin after last nights game, Dylan Hernandez at the LA Times has the details.
- Nick Diunte writes "An opponent remembers Jackie Robinson’s first day in the minors."
“Like an idiot, I’m playing him back at third base again the fifth time up. He dropped another bunt down and beat it out,” said Miggins. It was a lesson learned for the young infielder. “I gave him two hits that day and he never bunted again on me because I played him even with the bag from then on.”
- Left Field Pavilion makes a great graphic after Uribe's game winning home run last night.
- Panini shared some preview pics for their Prizm Baseball set slated to come out next month. See more pics on their blog here. The Matt Kemp is pitcured below.
