The Dodgers scored 42 runs in the opening 4-game series against Arizona. That's as many runs as the other two division leaders in the NL (PHI and MIL) scored in their combined seven games.

The bad news is that the Dodgers gave up 22 runs in the four games, although many of those came in garbage time.

Now it's time to lay some wood to the stinking Giants.

Most runs scored in the first four games of a season since 1954.

Harper returns to DC. This is interesting.

Dodgers starters have allowed 11 earned runs over 33 innings in 6 games (3.00 ERA).

Dodgers relievers have allowed 22 earned runs over 21 innings (9.43 ERA).

Kenley Jansen, who was good in his first two outings of the season, was very shaky last night. Although he got the save and gave up no earned runs, he allowed two inherited runners to score and gave up an unearned run that was only unearned because he was charged with an error (although I thought the error should have gone to Max Muncy).

Gonna be a long year if this doesn't get fixed ASAP.

A Bosox starter didn’t allow a run! Who had that in bingo?

They ran a graphic during Sunday night baseball yesterday that the Dodgers have scored more runs through 10 games than any team in history other than the 1999 Yankees and some team from back in the 1930s.

And Cody Bellinger is out of his mind right now!

I'd like to congratulate the Red Sox on a 3-9 start to the 2019 season. Well deserved.

Deserved because? Because they were better than the Yankees last year?

Destiny Of Chaos · « **Reply #78 on:** April 11, 2019, 06:18:53 AM »

I'd be alright with my team starting 3-39 if they had a year like the Red Sox had last year.

Got a long way to catch up to 27. And the Sox's farm system is drier than the Sahara. Good luck.

Didn't answer the "deserved" part unless that crack about the farm system was supposed to be it?

Because as a Yankees fan, the Red Sox can go F themselves. That's why.

All in good fun. A lot of my closest friends are Red Sox diehards.

Cody Bellinger is a mother-f-ing STUD!

In yesterday's game, he gunned a runner at the plate on a slow roller to right field.

He then hit a dinger.

And then, when the bullpen had put what seemed to be a blowout lead into jeopardy, Bellinger threw out a runner at 3rd from deep right field (on the fly). This happened with one out, so the play ended the inning. More remarkably, the out at third occurred before the runner who had tagged at third and was trying to score crossed the plate, so the run didn't count. If you haven't seen this play, check it out.

Bellinger is now hitting .383, with a 1.229 OPS, 19 HRs, 49 RBI and 48 runs scored.

Dude is flat out ridiculous!

Well...yeah, but even at that, the Dodgers 36-19, so....

Also, Craig Kimbrel anyone?!

I turned it off after the first HR Urias gave up and went to watch something else with my wife. When she went to sleep, I flipped to MLB Network and say that it was 8-6 with no outs in the 9th. I then flipped over to the Dodgers channel and learned that the MLBN "live look-in" was a few minutes delayed, and it was actually 8-7. I got to see the tying and winning runs score.

That was EPIC!

Awful. Hope he recovers quickly.

Although he should have had security with him. There are a ton of stories of MLB players being targeted in the Dominican, Latin America, etc., because of their fame and wealth. I don't know who he was with, but based on the article, it didn't seem like he had any bodyguards around him, and that was a huge mistake on his part.

Again, best wishes to him on a speedy recovery.

Muncy barely even watched the ball. I can't remember the last guy who was as big a douchenozzle as Bumgarner.

According to Muncy, the exchange after the homer was something like the following:

MB: Don't watch it. Just run.
MM: If you don't want me to watch it, go fish it out of the ocean.

Pure gold!!! If the Dodgers marketing department has any sense, they'll make 50,000 t-shirts and distribute them next time Bumgarner pitches against the Dodgers in LA.

Stay classy Yankee fans!

Jokes aside, did anyone see the footage of the beating one of the suspects took in the street? Bad idea to shoot a national hero in public.
