Just To Be Fair

Wouldn’t want anyone to think that Dominic wasn’t photogenic just because I haven’t posted any pictures of him yet, so…

Look at that technique - shielding his eyes from the sun with his glove.  I’m thinking I should give the Blue Crew a call; he’d probably be a significant offensive upgrade over Gonzo right now, and he’s got a “high ceiling.”

Brox Is Broken

 

Don’t want this to get overlooked in the accounts of yesterday’s GAME:

Tadahito Iguchi hit a solo homer in the eighth off Jonathan Broxton. It was the first homer allowed by Broxton in 96 2/3 innings. That was the longest streak in team history and fifth-longest in the majors since the Dodgers moved to Los Angeles in 1958.

OK, so maybe “broken” is too strong a word.  In fact, way too strong.  He’s been pretty close to the best non-Martin thing about this team.  The Broxton-Saito combo is deadly when we get to the late innings with a lead.

Course, the whole Tomko/Hendrickson/Wells situation makes that last part more than a little bit tricky.
