Some links for a Saturday involving the red-hot Dodgers and their Hall of Fame announcer:
- Vin Scully is coming back!
- Vin Scully Makes His Latest Memorable Call: I wrote a bit last night about Scully deciding to return on SB Nation Los Angeles.
- Jon Weisman wrote about Scully's return on Dodger Thoughts.
- Weisman also recapped Friday's game, which reminds me that in my late-night account of the game I neglected to mention the return of Kenley Jansen, who extended his scoreless streak to 17 innings. Welcome back, Kenley.
- Matt Kemp on reaching 30/30, per Tony Jackson of ESPN LA: "This is something I worked hard for in the offseason. Raul Mondesi was a great Dodger, and that is a big part of this. It's pretty special. To do it here at home, that makes it more special."
- Why Can't They All Wear Purple? In case you missed this last night, Rob Neyer at Baseball Nation noticed that James Loney has hit five of his seven home runs this season against the Rockies.
- Mike Petriello of Mike Scioscia's Tragic Illness wrote about Loney's production against the Rockies as well.
- The Dodgers plan to go to a six-man rotation one time through, wrote AJ Cassavell of MLB.com. Whenever Nathan Eovaldi, who has an innings limit, makes his last start, a yet-unnamed call-up will start the next day, giving the other starters an extra day of rest.
- Straight from shortstop Dee Gordon, on Twitter early Saturday morning: "Oh yea I passed my physical!!! I'll be back after a few rehab games."
- McCourt spillover: "It's no fun anymore, having to listen to it all the time, wondering what's going to happen next, what court date is set up next," Clayton Kershaw told ESPN on Friday. "It's no fun for us."
- A lack of work ethic led to Dioner Navarro getting the boot, wrote Dylan Hernandez of the LA Times.
- Chris Erskine of the LA Times recalls The Beatles' concert at Dodger Stadium, which was 45 years ago Sunday.
- Speaking of The Beatles, be sure to enter Xeifrank's contest. The person with the most points won today wins a CD.
