19-year-old Julio Urias was all the talk when he starred for the Dodgers Triple-A affiliate in Oklahoma City. After making his major league debut for Los Angeles on Friday night, many would describe the outing as valuable experience at the highest level, and nothing more.
Urias was thoroughly unimpressive in his debut, lasting just 2 & 2/3 innings while giving up three runs and struggling to consistently throw strikes. Manager Dave Roberts pulled him during the third inning, leaving the youngster to reflect on a first impression gone sour.
Even though the hyped outing did not go Urias' way, his stats from his abbreviated appearance are almost identical to another ugly start by a Dodger pitcher we all know and love.
Here's what else is going on around the National League West:
The Padres are beginning to make right with Major League Baseball and the San Diego Gay Men's Chorus.
The Diamondbacks have been scuffling as of late, and their inferior fielding isn't helping anything.
Buster Posey has not been his usual self at the plate in 2016. Do Giants fans have reason to worry?
Vin Scully charmed us all--as per usual--with a rendition of one of the greatest monologues on sports film history.
The Rockies pulled off a crucial win last Sunday. Catcher Tony Wolters was pretty psyched about it.
The Diamondbacks made some big-time moves on two pitchers this offseason, but were they the best acquisitions for the team, based on the team's current state?
The Giants could benefit from picking up another outfielder come trade season. Who would be the best fit in the bay?
James Loney has hit well for Triple-A El Paso, but could the veteran be dealt to the Big Apple?
