R & R Sports Report

Very sad. One of a kind pitcher. R.I.P.

We are deeply saddened to hear of the passing of former Dodgers great Fernando Valenzuela.

“Fernandomania” swept through baseball in 1981 when the 20-year old rookie sensation began the season 8-0 with a 0.50 ERA. The lefthander capped off his incredible year by winning both the NL Rookie of the Year and Cy Young Awards while helping lead Los Angeles to a World Series title.

Valenzuela pitched 17 Major League seasons, was a 6-time All-Star, and has the most wins (173) and strikeouts (2,074) of any Mexican-born pitcher.

He spent the last 22 years as a Spanish language broadcaster for the Dodgers, who retired his No. 34 in 2023.

He was 63.

Hey R&R fans!
Here are our MLB predictions for the ALCS and the NLCS!
ALCS
Randy takes the Yankees in 6 games
Robert takes the Yankees in 5 games
NLCS
Both of us are taking the Dodgers in 7 games.

Let us know who you all got in the Championship Series!

Congratulations Denny Grubb! Well deserved sir!

You’ll likely find him in the Denny Grubb Press Box at Harris Field all spring, except for the weekend he gets enshrined in the NAIA Hall of Fame! Congrats to the Stat Man himself, the creator of the NAIA Baseball record book and official NAIA World Series statistician since 1984, Denny Grubb!

With the Summer Olympics going strong, we decided to look back at the best moments and performances from the games. Erik Watkins and David Dufvenberg try to snap the two-episode winning streak of Robert Taylor. Can they stop him?
