The heart and soul of baseball – minor league baseball – kicked off another season on Thursday, April 5. Four Dodger affiliates were scheduled for action with the Oklahoma City Dodgers playing a double header due to a cancellation of their game on Sunday because of an impending storm. Right-hander Walker Buehler threw the first pitch of the Dodgers minor league season inducing a routine ground ball to second base in the bottom of the first inning.
I watched outfielder Andrew Toles, on MiLb.TV, lace a double on the very first pitch of the season in the top of the first inning.
