Great Coach
The way I see it, the Dodgers' success can not only be attributed to the players, but the fantastic coaching job that Head Coach Ebright has done! The decisions Coach Ebright makes and how he implements the necessary changes, has helped bring the Dodgers to the top of the pack! GO DODGERS! Good Luck in the playoffs!
former Dodgers doing well in the BIGS
Rajai Davis (Dodger in 2000) and Brett Carroll (Dodger in 2002) are having great seasons with the Oakland Atheletics and the Florida Marlins repectively. Go to the MLB websites for these teams and check out these two!
Great Web site
Thanks for having allof the games broadcast on the web and the website. I have been able to listen to the Dodger games firom all over Australia. Go Dodgers!
Stat Errors
There are a few errors for the Dodgers in the NYCBL stats. Corrected stats have been sent to the league. I have a copy that is correct that will be used to send to college coaches if it isn't corrected at a league site.
Thanks for your concern.

Stat error
I noticed the stats indicate that Eric Lambe is charged with the loss of the first game of the 2009 season (Elmira). A view the score sheet should reflect the following: Eric entered the game in the 8th with the score tied 1-1, one out, with runners on first and second. Pitching to the first batter he faced, a pitch bounced off the catchers glove and the runners moved up to second and third. The infield moved in to cut off the run at the plate. A ground ball was hit to the second baseman who after catching it cleanly thew home. The wet ball slipped from his hand and went wild allowing the runner on third to score. This runner was the winning run but was the responsibility of the previous pitcher and not Eric. The next batter hit into a double play ending the inning. I watched this entire game with Eric's parents and grandmother. We are concerned that Eric was charged with this loss when he pitched as well as possible. Please correct this stat. - Eric's grandfather.

Gus Macker basketball
I travel with Gus Macker basketball, I would like to thank the Dodger players that helped us in Hornell last weekend. The Dodger players were on time, responsible, and did a great job! Giving back to the community is a great thing. I'm glad to see two wins for you guys after spending long hours at the basketball tournament, no extra foul poles. Again thanks, hope to see you next year.
Bryce and Brad
It was great having you two in camp last week! Both of you already have the right tools to be very successful in baseball. My advice would be to play long toss as much as you can while your arms are developing. Long toss will make your arms stronger and it will also tech you to get out in front while you are throwing and when you two start to pitch more will make you more accurate and make all of your off-speed stuff better. I would also say to try to stay away from a curve ball until you are around 14 or 15 to let your arms grow and to avoid arm problems later on down the road. Instead if you need an off-speed try to learn a changeup and a cutter. A cutter is like a hard slider but there is no turning of your wrist which is were guys your age start to have arm problems. Anything that either one of you needs just shoot me an e-mail either I will help you or I will find someone that can. My e-mail is JCKC7@sbcglobal.net
Have a good rest of the summer!
