Last October, True Blue LA member Delias Man started a project of counting down his 25 favorite Dodgers baseball cards. The cards covered a wide range of styles and years, covering 60 or so years of Dodgers history.
This was a perfect example of how to utilize the Fan Posts feature. For those new to the site, you can make your voice heard by creating your own post, provided it is at least 75 words long, and it will show up on the right sidebar of the site.
Here is a link to the top 25 baseball card posts by Delias Man. Enjoy:
- Fernando
- Drysdale
- Koufax
- Hodges
- 1955 Bowman
- Garvey
- Lasorda
- Kershaw
- Duke
- The Big Three
- Bulldog
- Cey
- Piazza
- Tommy Davis
- Beltre
- Sutton
- Kemp
- Lopes
- Murray
- The Core
- Babe Ruth
- Wills & 1959 World Series
- Frank Robinson
- Our Favorite Closers
- Ethier
Also, there were three cards that didn't make the cut. I enjoyed this trip down memory lane, and a look at some wonderful baseball cards.

Fernando Rules! :-)
There's no need to fear, Underdog is here! / Broncos/Dodgers/Lakers fan in Niners/Raiders/Giants/Warriors country, and damned proud of it.
the Braun/Kemp card was really cool.
I pitched to Matt Kemp, and all I got was this stupid earned run.
I like for multi-player cards to have players on the same team
though I do like that Ron Cey was on two separate tri-rookie cards in 1972 and 1973:

From that MiLB article, I didn't realize Tim Fed had a pornstache.
Or a Jack PerconteStache. Either way, he goes up a notch in my book.

Pretty classy quote from AJ Ellis, considering he's competing with the guy for roster spot next year
(and probably been bypassed by him)

Ellis is in a pretty good spot
He’ll stick with the Dodgers or another MLB club thanks to his options being at zero.

Right-click on it for the answer. It (or at least my spellchecker, which I suspect is NOT an “SB Nation spellchecker”, but the system spellchecker on my Mac, and IO expect Windows has something similar) prefers “mustache”. “Moustache” is the original French spelling, probably whence the word is derived but missing the “us” in standard American English.
yeah
“mustache” is American English.
Guess what word doesn’t look real anymore?

eck gave up our favortie homerun
that is what I was going for. I have another pretty cool gagne card but was not really worth the top 25.
Thanks for posting this series Deliasman
Really cool to see all these cards and brought back some good memories.

A word to the wise: if you have an awesome idea of what to name your kid, keep it to yourself until the time comes.
I told bride early on in our relationship that if we had a boy, I wanted to name him George, so that he would have the same name as the decoy secret agent in the movie North by Northwest. She was like, “Fuck that noise.”
Then we had girls, so it was moot. I’m not gonna name a girl George.
Still, I would have lost the fight even if we’d had a boy.
Learn from my mistakes, people!

"I don’t want to give my kids a name that would be better suited for a septuagenarian"
This is tricky business and something each generation faces. It turns out that most people that look for names like the names of the generation belonging to the great-grandparents. The names of their own generation feel tired, and the names of their parents and grandparents feel stuffy. But great-grandparents — those names have enough distance that they feel fresh and new again.

as a pitcher, did it matter to you how good your catcher was defensively besides the obvious runner on 3rd base situation? I mean have you had a catcher who caught you with such ease he helped put you at ease that you could throw your best stuff and it would make a difference on how he received it?
Absolutely. Both college teams I played for had two main catchers who split time evenly as opposed to a main and a backup, and I could always tell which more relayed feelings of confidence and putting situations into perspective, whereas some catchers let the game speed up on them or get emotionally involved in an at bat.

by meercatjohn on Aug 22, 2011 11:44 AM PDT up reply actions
at the pro level teams have armies of advance scouts and such to tell the catchers how to pitch to certain players, and those players have years of experience both from themselves and their coaches to fall back on, but in college you have 60 games and all new opponents the next season due to attrition, draft and graduation. High school is worse at about 25-30 games. Every catcher has their own game calling tendencies and preferences, and when the pitcher and catcher have the same preferences, it makes pitching a lot easier because your pace stays quick and you’re able to stay in a rhythm as opposed to standing and shaking off and then not being all that confident in that particular pitch.
"Statistics are used much like a drunk uses a lamp post: for support, not illumination." - Vin Scully
So I guess to really answer your question
no, the catcher’s don’t throw the pitch for the pitcher, so everything that happens is a result of the pitcher’s actions and decisions, but certain catchers make it worlds easier to pitch and do have an effect on what is thrown, how well it’s thrown, and the results thereof.
"Statistics are used much like a drunk uses a lamp post: for support, not illumination." - Vin Scully
I am pretty sure
of the plays I saw (I missed the first inning), it was the first pitch base hit that drove in the ultimate winning run that would upset GScott the most (while all the hits in the inning were well struck, they were mainly hit to right field by right handed batters. I am sure GScott was even more annoyed when that hitter asked for a runner.
by bhsportsguy on Aug 22, 2011 11:48 AM PDT up reply actions
yep, though not for him asking for a runner. I knew not to throw him a fastball first pitch and I did anyway.
"Statistics are used much like a drunk uses a lamp post: for support, not illumination." - Vin Scully
Is it a tell but it doesn't matter anyway
anytime you threw a fast ball, it seemed you were sped up while on whatever breaking ball you threw you tended to almost stop your follow through as your right leg was swinging over. On one fast ball it looked like you almost jumped towards home plate.
by bhsportsguy on Aug 22, 2011 11:52 AM PDT up reply actions
yeah, on changeups and curves you tend to hesitate with your legs, while with fastballs and sliders you accelerate. I’m definitely still working on fine tuning some things with my mechanics, that being a major one.
"Statistics are used much like a drunk uses a lamp post: for support, not illumination." - Vin Scully
you also said
that not being on the same page with your catcher was also bugging you earlier in the game. I’m convinced if your best player had shown up (or they had allowed Tony to sub) you would have been fine.
I pitched to Matt Kemp, and all I got was this stupid earned run.
I mentioned this to him once
and he said that if the batter is more concerned with watching his leg mechanics than his release point (i.e. the ball), then the batter is going to miss the pitch anyway.

Good game calling matters quite a bit doesn’t it? The less you have to shake off a catcher the more confident you are in what sign he throws down. It allows you to think less and focus more on your spots. G.scott I would think in that platoon you had that your coach would match you up better if he knew you had more success throwing to one guy than the other. Then again most teams have a main guy and a back up so in that scenario the main guys bat would over ride your being more in sync with the back up.
"They will never ketchup to all of the energy that I've mustard"
they did for the starters, but I was a reliever in college so I got whoever was in that day.
"Statistics are used much like a drunk uses a lamp post: for support, not illumination." - Vin Scully
For me, it had some difference, but nothing all that much. If anything, the way the catcher caught the ball was more important to me. I really liked calling my own game and would shake off the catcher if I didn’t feel comfortable with what he called. It was always nice to not have to shake off, but it wasnt something that I minded doing. when I pitched, I was pretty much an asshole and did what I wanted to do.
At the pro level there is a big difference, as GScott says, on advanced scouting and knowing hitters, but it still boils down to the same thing- the pitcher agrees to throw the pitch and it is he alone who executes that pitch.
by UCLADodger32 on Aug 22, 2011 1:06 PM PDT up reply actions
Agreed on everythiing you said, I was exactly the same. While the pitcher makes the end decision and is solely responsible for executing after he makes a decision, trusting a catcher and having someone who shows calm during adverse situations is unteachable.

Yup. It was always great having that calming influence in a dude you really trusted, but if that wasnt case, my mindset was just “Fuck it, i’m doing what I want to do.” My thing is as a pitcher, everything revolves around you and you get the blame/credit, so why the fuck would I throw what someone else (who isnt in my head that day, doesnt really know what I have a feel for at that moment, etc) wants me to throw?

from the press release
Alex Castellanos led his team and the league this week in three categories: RBI (11), extra-base-hits (9) and doubles (7). The Chattanooga Lookouts were on fire in their last six games scoring a total of 51 runs and winning five out of the six efforts. Castellanos was joined by Alfredo Silverio and Scott Van Slyke in putting the hurt on the Carolina Mudcats in a series of games that consisted of many runs and close final scores, culminating in the ninth inning of a 14-13 game on August 20. With Silverio on second, Castellanos sent him home with a double to score the tying run before running home himself off of a single to win the game, 15-14. But that double was only one of three that Castellanos hit that game, following the previous game in which he only had one hit, which just happened to be a triple that sent home two batters. He also forced another run from a sacrifice ground out and was crucial to the game’s 6-5 final score. Castellanos hit in all six games in which he swung, walking away from the week with very strong stats and a promising end of the season run with the North Division-leading Lookouts. He has already begun to heat up in the Lookouts series with the Tennessee Smokies, with two hits in their first game. Born in Miami, Florida, the outfielder was traded from the St. Louis Cardinals to the Dodgers organization July 31. He was drafted by the Cardinals in the 10th round of the 2008 MLB June Amateur Draft. He has been awarded this season as a Texas League Mid-Season All-Star and twice as a Texas League Player of the Week.

After Arizona's 4 game series at Washington this week
They only have 4 road series left and after September 7th, they will be playing either at home or in LA and San Diego. They only have 6 more games remaining with anyone with a winning record (Giants).
Giants play 18 out of next 21 at home. In September they only play NL West teams (Home and Road), like Arizona, only those teams head to head games will be against a team over .500.

With the Giants being the Giants.
I think it’s still August and no one knows anything. If I had to say one way or the other, I think the DBacks win the division, the Braves win the wild card, and the Giants piss and moan for 6 months.

I thought Milwaukee would give him problems, but Braun and Fielder seemed fine with hitting opposite field singles off him. We’ll see. I like watching him far less than I liked watching Rubby, even though they are similar in approach.
"Statistics are used much like a drunk uses a lamp post: for support, not illumination." - Vin Scully
I liked watching Rubby alot more too bc he could crank it up to 100 and even if he misses location have it not hurt him.
With EO, he just doesnt seem to have alot of pitches.
He does throw strikes, and has good velocity (not great like Rubby did)..i think he profiles to a #3 or #4 unless he develops some more pitches.
I think 94-96 is better than good. Rubby’s velocity was freakish, too high of a standard for anyone.
Nate – 94.3 / 87.7
Rubby – 96 / 83.2
I like the higher velocity slider.
If knowledge can create problems, it is not through ignorance that we can solve them.
yeah, sitting at 96 as a starter is elite velocity, I’m just not a fan. I think if he ends up a #3 or #4 we should be thrilled, because he could very easily be the most valuable player in the Frontier League for the next 10 years.
"Statistics are used much like a drunk uses a lamp post: for support, not illumination." - Vin Scully
Considering no one had him as anyone to even think about headed into this year, just being in the rotation is already a huge win. He has still not allowed a major league home run. If he escapes this road trip with that in tact, I’m going to start believing in his ability to minimize home runs.
If knowledge can create problems, it is not through ignorance that we can solve them.
don’t get me wrong, I’m rooting for him and I think he’ll have all the tools necessary to develop and refine secondary pitches at the major league level, I just hope he continues his success as a starter so he doesn’t get treated like JMac.

But I had a few from when I was in Desert Storm. I believe it was Topps that made them, and they are basically just regular cards with an embossed Desert Storm logo on them. We were given them at different times, and of course, I traded all my non-Dodgers for Dodgers. lol
