Loved the 60's Dodger style of ball. Wills or Davis singles, steels second. Tommy Davis sprays an RBI to the outfield. Three runs was often enough with Koufax, Drysdale, and Osteen starting followed up by Perronski in relief. Fun to watch.
I know what you mean about 'small ball', I like it too.Loved the 60's Dodger style of ball. Wills or Davis singles, steels second. Tommy Davis sprays an RBI to the outfield. Three runs was often enough with Koufax, Drysdale, and Osteen starting followed up by Perronski in relief. Fun to watch.
LOL! Don't even say aluminum!!!! I subscribe to mlb/tv and almost never miss a Cleveland game. I also watch college baseball when I notice it on. An aluminum bat hitting the ball just does not 'sound' like baseball although it will probably, someday, happen in MLB.@jaylach agree with your sentiment on the torpedo bats. If they're gonna do that they might as well allow aluminum and just be done with it.
We had aluminum bats available in High School and also in the industrial league I played in for a few years. Tried them, did not like the feel and hated the sound. Used one for 100 at bats in HS as a trial, 31 hits, 4 HR. My average overall was 307 and I averaged 4 HR per hundred hits anyway, so I saw no real difference.
The sound is atrocious -- PING -- Sounds like a weakly through horseshoe.
Muncy had a very bad game for sure. Third is not his position but first is owned. I think Muncy is a solid ballplayer offensively and although he does not hit for a big average, he collects a lot of walks and contributes to the Dodger knack for wearing pitchers down by raising their pirch count.Dodgers man, what can I say? They deserved to lose last night. Muncy is terrible, 2 throwing errors and a 5 run lead should have been enough for the Braves to get their 1st W. Shohei with a walk off HR on his bobblehead night. That guy is unreal. There's not many people in the game that could have got that ball out of the yard on the outside edge of the plate and a weak swing. He's special for sure.
8-0, best start to a season in history for a team that just won the WS. What's scary is they're not even hitting on all cylinders yet..

He is potential trade bait.
