I caught a foul ball at a Pacific Coast League playoff game in Albuquerque, New Mexico, on Wednesday night. It was the first foul ball of my life! It came off the bat of Memphis Redbirds second baseman Jarrett Hoffpauir in the top of the fifth. Then, in the top of the sixth, as it began raining, we saw the home team Isotopes turn a triple play ! Eric Stults began the sixth by walking Brian Barden and...

ESPN (via Jon ) reports the Dodgers have indeed signed Vicente Padilla , recently released by the Rangers. He's not great, but unlike a lot of Ned Colletti's gambles, this has a low cost; no young players are involved, the Dodgers ostensibly have a replacement in the wings (or on the DL, in Kuroda). For what it's worth, 50% of his starts are quality starts , and that was in the AL for the most part;...

You may not care about Haeger or the Dodgers, but you should care that the Law of Conservation of Knuckleballers has once again been vindicated : Jeff Weaver will start for the Dodgers on Wednesday in place of Chad Billingsley, and Charlie Haeger will replace Eric Stults on the active roster to help back Weaver up, according to word passed along by Dylan Hernandez of The Times. A 25-year-old knuckleballer,...

There's nothing greater than being on the road, playing your rivals, and hearing absolutely nothing (except cheers from Dodger fans) after Matt Kemp destroys one over the center field wall. Eric Stults was sent down to make room for Charlie Haeger. He'll serve as the backup to Jeff Weaver in tomorrows game. My question? Why not just start Haeger to begin with? Even if Weaver is actually good, he's...

AP Photo/Keith Birmingham Dodgers manager Joe Torre called a meeting after today’s 8-2 loss to the Atlanta Braves (58-54). “I just wanted to give them my perspective on where we are,” said Torre, “how we haven’t really been playing well for a period of time and how we’re still controlling our own destiny.” The Dodgers...
