Hi, and welcome to another edition of Dodgers Dugout. My name is Houston Mitchell and I think that wet stuff coming from the sky is the collective tears of heaven, saddened that even they don't have the ability to watch the Dodgers this season.
The almost no-hitter
A lot of controversy on Friday when Dave Roberts removed rookie starter Ross Stripling with one out in the eighth inning while Stripling was pitching a no-hitter. Stripling is coming off Tommy John surgery and had just made his 100th pitch when Roberts removed him with one out and one on and the Dodgers leading, 2-0.
