I just had to make these. Featured here are a handful of Joe Kelly "pouty face" fantasy custom Baseball cards. Enjoy.#FreeJoeKelly -- Via Alden Gonzalez at ESPN:
"I don't think anyone's too happy about it," Pollock said. "It's not our call; it's obviously the commissioner's call. But I don't think anyone's too happy about that. I just don't think it's very good feel on his end."Below are more links to check out:

"There's a lot of guys that were upset about the severity of it," Roberts said, noting that Kelly never admitted to throwing at Bregman on purpose.
- This Day in Dodgers History: In 1983 Dodger skipper Walter Alston is inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame. In 1984 Baseball as an Olympic demonstration sport begins its Olympic tournament at Dodger Stadium. In 2004 the Dodgers receive outfielder Steve Finley and backstop Brent Mayne from the Diamondbacks for Koyie Hill, Reggie Abercrombie and southpaw Bill Murphy. They also traded outfield speedster Dave Roberts to Boston for Henri Stanley. In 2006 the Dodgers traded shortstop César Izturis to the Cubs for future Hall of Famer Greg Maddux. In 2008 the Dodgers traded for Manny Ramirez from the Red Sox (including a three team trade with Pittsburgh) for Andy LaRoche and Bryan Morris (who goes to the Pirates). Pirates outfielder Jason Bay goes to Boston.
- Happy Birthday, Pembroke Finlayson!
- FYI, The Los Angeles Dodgers Foundation (LADF) launched a special online auction at Dodgers.com/auctions featuring game-used jerseys with MLB’s Black Lives Matter patch from Opening Day with net proceeds to benefit the California Funders for Boys & Men of Color Southern California: Our Kids, Our Future Fund (CFBMoC). Pics of the Cody Bellinger and Dave Roberts jersey's are below.
- So, remember when Will Smith hit that home run that hit a cardboard fan in the face? Well, Smith gave the kid an autographed bat. It says, "Sorry I hit you in the face! Go Dodgers! Will Smith." Check it out below, via u/doyersbeast on Reddit:
- WTF! Via Mike Oz at Yahoo Sports -- "Report: MLB, union agree to make doubleheader games 7 innings long during 2020 season." They are bastardizing the game!
- FYI -- The Dodgers called up left-handed pitcher Victor González and have designated outfielder Terrance Gore for assignment.
- I saw this graphic on Reddit and thought I should share it here, via u/santaanas on Reddit. See it on the right.
- Per David Adler at MLB.com -- "Corey Seager's hot start is one to watch."
Seager is white-hot to start the season. He hit .320/.393/.520 with a .913 OPS in Opening Week 2020, capping it off with his first home run against the Astros. Then he got Week 2 started by belting another homer in Thursday's series opener against the D-backs, lefty-lefty off Robbie Ray, no less. That brought his stat line to .321/.406/.607 with a 1.013 OPS.When you see Seager hitting like this, you remember why he was a blue-chip prospect, a phenom who was supposed to headline the next Dodgers playoff dynasty and a part of the ascendant generation of superstar shortstops alongside Francisco Lindor, Carlos Correa, Javier Báez and Trevor Story.
- Just more bad news. Per Jay Jaffe at FanGraphs -- "More Coronavirus Infections on Marlins, Phillies, and Now Cardinals Mean More Scrambling — and More Questions — for MLB."
