 Apr. 18, 2009 (Baseball Musings delivered by Newstex ) -- Manny Ramirez hits his first home run of the season, and follows with another. Both were solo shots, however. Teams appear to be taking the bat out of Mannys hands, as hes drawn 13 walks this year, seven with men on base, six with runners in scoring position. Theyre starting to treat him like Barry Bonds, which wont be good for Mannys RBI total, but should boost the Dodgers offense. Unlike the Giants, the Dodgers have some bats behind Manny. Los Angeles leads Colorado 5-3 in the seventh. Newstex ID: BASE-0001-34235394
