Blog Kiosk: 4/6/2017 - Dodgers Links - Some Odds and Ends


Yasiel Puig contributed in a big way last night when he walloped his first home run of the season.  It came about in the fourth inning against Trevor Cahill, and added a bit of cushion to a Dodgers lead. You can watch him chat about his homer with Alanna Rizzo here. Per Doug Padilla at ESPN:
“My teammates are doing a great job,” Puig said. “They are all in the right [lineup] position and they have all been doing their job. They are in the position that is right for them. Now it’s my turn.”

"It is a miracle that Pedro is alive, completely conscious and speaking clearly two days after a doctor basically declared him brain dead," Roxanna Guerrero told ESPN. "This is a miracle."
“You know, it's cool but I just put it in the back of my mind and approach it the same way I did last year in Rancho,” Bellinger said.

“It's the same game. Obviously, this is the last (step) before the big leagues so you want to come out and prove what you can do.”
"I think they did a really good job of increasing my workload gradually each year," Kershaw said of former general manager Ned Colletti's front office. "I didn't feel like I was not getting to pitch, but at the same time, I feel like they took care of me, too. The tricky part for them -- and different in Julio's case -- is that he's really had decent success. He hasn't struggled."
“It was good, exciting. You gotta be ready for anything, right?” Romo said, after his first scoreless inning as a Dodger. “Tell me to be ready by the sixth and there I was pitching in the sixth. It was fun you know, getting in the box score. I’m officially a Dodger! It was exciting to hear my song being played and to see the crowd reaction to it when they announced my name there. Yeah, I’m happy with it.”
