Blog Kiosk: 4/20/2016 - Dodgers Links - De Leon, Puig and Kenley Met Shaq


Holy Moly!  Look at all those boxes.

Jose De Leon, a Dodgers top pitching prospect, shared a pic on Twitter last night about that evenings activities.
Fun night signing some @BowmanCards @toppscards while laughing nonstop watching @BabyDaddyTV #Productivity
I've never seen "Baby Daddy", but I do recognize a hand-cramp when I see it.  As you can see, De Leon is in the midst of signing a whole bunch of Bowman Baseball cards for Topps.  There are at least seven 800 count boxes of cards and that translates a whole lot of cardboard.  I hope he didn't do them all 'cause he won't be able to pitch for weeks if he did.

As for yesterdays Dodgers game, it was a stinker.  They got walloped by the bottom dwelling Braves 8-1.  The team gave up three errors, and it certainly not an impressive outing for Alex Wood. Via Mark Bowman and Jon Cooper at MLB.com:
"A lot of them came out swinging early, especially in the first inning. It surprised me a little bit on some of them," said Wood. "[Nick] Markakis, Freddie [Freeman], those guys have started swinging a lot earlier in the count. I had to adjust. But with my fastball command what it was, it was kind of tough to battle between the aggressive hacks and not being able to throw it where I wanted to."
