    This organization better pivot. Jeren Kendall strikes out almost 35% of the time too probably I can't do this anymore. I can't do the platoon, streaky, low contact hitters anymore. Seager, Turner, Machado and Verdugo are the only guys who give me hope. And really, Turner is the only of that group that I truly trust.

    I don't mind strikeouts it if they are CF's who can field their position well and they can hit for lots of power.
    If you can get power out of CF consistently then you can live with the strikeouts.

    disagree
    take pitches, work at bats, put the ball in play

    Yeah that is nice and all but I don't mind a Bellinger at CF, C or SS.
    You can live with the imperfect offense if he is good home run hitter at those spots.
    Just like you could live with a guy who hit .315 with a high OBP and good defense at those positions even if he had very little power.
    If the guy can defend any of those positions well then he can be an imperfect hitter that has one or two good skills.

    problem is the whole lineup (sans turner) is all or nothing
    thats why there have been so many solo hrs
    better at bats lead to better results
    1 or 2 of those guys sure, but not more than that

    Yeah, that is why you trade the surplus of these guys when their power potential makes them super valuable in the trade market.

    Santana went 1 IP in RC. O H, 2 BB, 1K. 20 pitches and he sat around 92. That's a good sign.

    DODGERS MINOR LEAGUE REPORT
    Quakes one win away from title series
    Omar Estevez home run difference in 1-0 win
    by Craig Minami | True Blue LA — 5 hours ago

    The Quakes won to take a 2-1 series lead in an otherwise tough night for Dodger affiliates. Oklahoma City, Tulsa and Ogden lost to fall one game away from losing their series. And Oklahoma City and Ogden gave up ninth-inning leads in their games.

    PLAYER OF THE GAME
    Rancho Cucamonga middle infielder Omar Estevez hit a home run that produced the only scoring in the Quakes 1-0 win. Estevez had ended the regular season with a 25-game hitting streak and he went hitless for the first time in weeks on Thursday. He ended Friday with a 2-for-4 night with his solo home run.

    TRIPLE-A OKLAHOMA CITY
    The Dodgers were two outs away from taking a series lead. However, the Redbirds (Cardinals) then got four consecutive singles with the last one scoring the walk-off 5-4 win for Memphis. Dodger reliever Brian Schlitter took the mound with a two-run lead in the ninth inning. After two batters, he had a runner on second with one out. The Redbirds then got those four straight singles to score three runs and put the Dodgers behind in their series. Logan Bawcom started for the Dodgers and he gave up a run in 4⅓ innings pitched. Four Dodger relievers put together 3⅔ innings of work where they only gave up another run. The Dodgers scored their runs on home runs. Henry Ramos hit his second postseason home run, this one was a three-run shot that gave the Dodgers a lead. Travis Taijeron hit his first in the eighth inning to give the Dodgers a two-run lead.

    DOUBLE-A TULSA
    The Arkansas Travelers (Mariners) got a solo home run in the top of the ninth inning to beat the Drillers 4-3 and take a 2-1 series lead. It was the second time in this series the Travelers scored in their last at-bat to win a game. Joseph Odom hit his first home run in the postseason off Layne Somsen to leadoff the ninth inning. The Drillers got a leadoff double from Gavin Lux in the ninth inning and had Lux on third with one out. But Keibert Ruiz and DJ Peters were unable to drive in the tying run. Dustin May started for the Drillers and he pitched five innings. May gave up a run and four hits. He had one strikeout and walked one. An error by Zach McKinstry would eventually lead to two unearned runs for the Travelers in the seventh. Cael Brockmeyer hit a solo home run. Gavin Lux, Drew Jackson and Mike Ahmed each had two hits.

    CLASS-A RANCHO CUCAMONGA
    The Quakes returned home and got excellent pitching and one home run to beat the Lancaster JetHawks (Rockies) 1-0 and take a 2-1 series lead. Edwin Uceta saved his first scoreless effort for the playoffs as he pitched 5⅔ innings to get his first win as a Quake. Dennis Santana made a rehab start and pitched the first inning for the Quakes. Uceta then entered the game and pitched to the seventh inning. Austin Hamilton, Yimi Garcia and Dan Jagiello combined to retire all seven hitters they faced to keep the shutout and preserve the win. Omar Estevez led off the bottom of the sixth with his second home run in the postseason. Estevez and Cristian Santana each had two hits.

    ROOKIE PIONEER LEAGUE OGDEN
    The defending Pioneer League champions had an opportunity to take a series lead when they entered the top of the ninth with a three-run lead. However, the Grand Junction Rockies would score six runs with five of those runs coming with two outs and they went on to beat the Raptors 8-5 and take a 1-0 lead in their Best-of-3 series. Ogden took an early lead on Dillon Paulson’s two-run homer in the first. The Raptors kept that lead until the seventh when the Rockies tied the game. But then Ronny Brito stole home to break the tie and that was followed by Tre Todd’s two-run homer to give Ogden a three-run lead that took to the ninth inning. The Rockies would send 11 batters up in the ninth inning with six of them scoring.

    TRANSACTIONS
    • CLASS-AA:
    Tulsa placed IF Errol Robinson on the 7-day DL. IF Eric Peterson assigned to Tulsa from Great Lakes.
    • CLASS-A: Los Angeles sent RHP Dennis Santana on a rehab assignment to Rancho Cucamonga.

    Is this the closest to a World Series championship I will see for the remainder of my life?

    Went to the second game Wed night.

    Dennis Santana started, went two innings and gave up a solo HR. None of the other pitchers really stood out. Strain hit 94 a couple of times.

    Cody Thomas hit a grand slam and a triple. Cristian Santana hit a HR and a double.

    For a former first round pick Kendell looked awful. K'd a few times and hit a weak ass ground ball to third. He'd fit right in the big club. Hits ninth in the lineup. Not exactly a ringing endorsement of his abilities.

    AA Tulsa won the Texas league championship tonight. Gavin Lux is officially a dude and word is that Tony Gonsolin is really close to being one as well. Mitch White improved late in the season which I guess is better than the last two years when he started to wear out badly. Ruiz and Peters didn't do a ton, but both had been on fire going into the playoffs. Dustin May pitched well in the championship clinching game this evening, but still has some things to work on. Some solid talent on this team and should make for an interesting OKC team in 2019.
