    @Gambletani
    Andy Pages went from tubby corner outfielder with limited mobility to a star athletic center fielder because that was what was gonna let him stick in LA truly such an impressive transformation from his prospect profile to the player he’s become today.

    Yeah. God rest him.

    He was Dodger captain then ... has there been an official Dodger team captain since?

    ah man not Davey Lopes fuck
    what a spark plug of a player and a perfect fit on that 70s team
    can't say enough about how Miggy carries himself and what he means to the team
    has fun but is as serious of a competitor as they come
    no question the man we see every day is a direct result of a great mom and pop

    Looked it up. No formal team captain since Lopes, & he resigned that honor after the 79 season.

    How was RedTurn NOT team captain in his Dodger days? How is Betts NOT now?

    if you’ve never seen/heard this i highly recommend
    vintage tommy
    people can say what they want, but there is no one who ever bled dodger blue more than #2

    @nut_history
    Tommy Lasorda and Doug Rau's mound visit from the 1977 World Series (NSFW). If you’ve never seen this, I suggest you watch. Lasorda tells it like it is.

    I met Doug Rau in Denver about 25 years ago. Shook his hand, told him it was ALWAYS good to meet a Dodger... and that I knew Tommy from St Mary's in Fullerton, and that "Lasorda was a soft spoken & gentle at all times" right, Doug?

    Guy laughed hard enough to shake my hand again after that.

    I've never met anyone who played with or for Tommy that didn't like him. Yeah, some hated him but I never met those assholes (cough Bevaqua cough) ...

    Baseball needs managers like Tommy, Sparky, Leyland, Pinella...

    Some impressive notes on Davey the thief......

    Hall of Fame catcher Johnny Bench once called Lopes the best base stealer in the game.

    Beginning in 1975, Lopes racked up some impressive stolen base numbers:

    1975*: 77 steals, 12 caught stealing, 86.5% success rate.
    1976*: 63 steals, 10 caught stealing, 86.3%
    1977: 47 steals, 12 caught stealing, 79.7%
    1978: 45 steals, four caught stealing, 91.8%
    1979: 44 steals, four caught stealing, 91.7%

    *-Led league in steals.

    In those five seasons, he stole 276 bases and was caught only 42 times, an amazing 86.8% success rate. He is the best base stealer in Dodger history. Maury Wills stole more often, but Lopes was more successful.

    In 1975, Lopes stole 38 bases in a row from June 10 to August 24 to break Max Carey’s mark of 36 in a row set during the 1922-23 seasons. He was finally thrown out by Montreal’s Gary Carter in the 12th inning of a game.

    Mookie Betts is “symptom free” now, Dave Roberts said. He likely won’t return from the 10-day IL when his stint is up, though.

    Mookie has the constitution of a preschooler. What's this - his 3rd illness since Japan last year? Guy is at the peak of health otherwise but he's missing PT from another bug?

    #Dodgers updates per Dave Roberts:
    • Mookie Betts is symptom free from his oblique injury.
    • Miguel Rojas will not go on the bereavement list following the loss of his father.
    • Tommy Edman is still far from running full speed.
    • Blake Snell will throw to live hitters for the first time this season before tomorrow’s game.
    • When Snell makes his return to the team, Roki Sasaki will NOT be moved to the bullpen and remain in the starting rotation.
    • Brock Stewart is likely to be the first Dodgers pitcher to return.
    • Brusdar Graterol has been throwing bullpens
    • Gavin Stone has been progressing slowly
