The Dodgers have just provided an early peak at the 1981 World Series Tri-MVP bobblehead that they'll be giving out on Saturday, July 2nd. It features Pedro Guerrero, Steve Yeager and Ron Cey.
Go here to see the Dodgers entire promotional schedule.
As for last nights game, the Dodgers got stymied. Scott Kazmir was solid in his seven innings of work. He had gotten bitten early in the first inning, allowing four hits that resulted in two early runs. Then, Kazmir settled down and scattered three hits over the next six. Per
Jack Baer and Joe Frisaro at MLB.com:
"The cutter was good, the fastball command was good," Dodgers manager
Dave Roberts said about Kazmir. "He started throwing his change later
and that was good as well. It was down. He gave us 110 pitches,
something like that. He gave us some length tonight, which we needed.
The Dodgers offense, on the other hand, was not good. They continued to be befuddled by the Marlins. Per
Doug Padilla at ESPN:
“You could see guys pressing a little bit,” manager Dave Roberts said.
“You could see some hard contact out there, but when (hits) aren’t
falling, you start looking at your last three, four games. Some guys are
looking at their average and not getting hits. When I feel like you
need to get a hit, it gets tougher. I think guys are coming out of the
strike zone a little bit more than they used to.”
All they could muster were two hits, and the only potential rally came on three walks in the eighth inning that could not be cashed in. With the bases loaded, Yasiel Puig struck out and Adrian Gonzalez flied to right to end their only threat. The Dodgers went out with a whimper; losing 2-0. Below are more links to check out:
- Corey Seager is now on twitter. Follow him here: @coreyseager_5. His very first tweet was a photo of socks.
- Via Cut4, "Let's watch Corey and Kyle Seager express their sibling rivalry through R.B.I. Baseball 16." This is awesome.
