Today is the 51st anniversary of Sandy Koufax's third career no-hitter against the Phillies. He became only the second pitcher in the modern era to throw three no-no's - Bob Feller was the first. Photo above via @sportsphotos on twitter.
Below are some links to check out:
- Check out a new Dodger blog called "From Duke to Joc, All Things Dodgers" here.
- Via Eric Stephen at True Blue LA, "Yasiel Puig will start rehab assignment Thursday with Rancho Cucamonga." BTW, Eric also tells us that Hector Olivera will make his debut in Tula today, as well (here)
- Via Eric Stephen at True Blue LA, "Paco Rodriguez MRI shows no new elbow damage."
- Via Mark Saxon at ESPN, "Joc Pederson's power continues to blossom."
“I still think the best is yet to come for Joc,” Mattingly said. “That doesn’t mean he’s going to hit 60 homers or anything, but I think just the consistency of at-bats will get better and better.”
- Via Cary Osborne at Dodger Insider, "A new voice for a critical 2015 Dodger draft."
“The power of the group together and more minds is better than one mind,” (Billy Gasparino) said. “It worked every draft I’ve been a part of. The best drafts, the best outcomes have been a group reflection of the board and the players we take, not just one person.
“We emphasized that in San Diego. We’ve had some success. We’re going to emphasize it here. Josh, Andrew and Farhan have all had their own success in places they’ve come from and we’re just trying to combine it all together.”
- Via Mark Saxon at ESPN, "Mystery surrounds Kenley Jansen's absence."
"I don't know who wants to talk about it. I'm not the one who wants to talk about it, though," said Mattingly, clearly perturbed. "He was unavailable."
Former Major League pitcher Rick Sutcliffe tweeted this out; which only adds to the mystery. BTW, you may recall that a couple of years ago he was diagnosed with an irregular heartbeat - atrial fibrillation:
