Dodger Prospect Chat with Kyle Glaser (BA)

Dodger fans are no different than other teams’ fans. They read what team personnel say about their prospects and build them up to be can’t miss. I like to watch them play, see videos, and read from objective baseball pundits. Baseball America is that kind of publication. In short scouting reports, they tell the fan all they want to hear. But in chats, the pundits can be more objective. Kyle

A Full Season Does Not Mean a Full House

Right about now, as COVID-19 rages across the country, MLB is making plans for a 162 game season. How many of those games will be played in empty stadiums remains to be seen, but It might be less than we think. The Indiana Pacers will begin allowing fans into Bankers Life Fieldhouse on January 19th. Sales will be limited to 1,000 tickets per game through Jan. 25 and gradually increase .

Dino Ebel: Baseball Lifer

A while back, DBM asked if we would do a little background story on Dino Ebel, the Dodgers 3rd base coach. So, I told Jeff I would do it.

After graduating from high school, he went to San Bernardino Valley College where he was drafted in

Is There Any Hope for Kenley?

am sure that Dave Roberts will downplay this, but Kenley will be given every chance to re-claim that role and I would not be the least bit surprised to see him do so. How many relievers in baseball RIGHT NOW have NEVER had a season with an ERA above 3.71?

The Status of the 2021 Free Agent Player

Blake Snell, Yu Darvish, Carlos Carrasco, and the BIG MARKET name, Francisco Lindor. These four have a chance to be top tier in 2021, with Lindor in the elite class. And they have all changed teams this offseason. The first two names have moved the Padres into a top three NL and top four MLB team, while the second two names have moved the NYM to a significant NL East

No Bull About the Pen

It s really simple: If Brandon Morrow is healthy, he is very, very good! When he s not healthy, he is not a factor. He has had elbow, calf and shoulder injuries the past two years and is allegedly healthy now. He will be 37 in July and this is likely his last dance.

Clyde Sukeforth: He Helped Change Dodger History Twice

Born in the small town of Washington Maine on November 30. 1901, Clyde Leroy Sukeforth, or Sukey as he was known in baseball circles, was a typical small town boy. He began playing when he was young and grew as youngsters did in those days to love the game. Over his career he would catch, coach, manage and scout for major league teams. He is forever tied to the Dodgers

CT3 The Dodgers Could do a Whole Lot Worse

I was listening to MLB Radio, as I am prone to do when taking a short trip. Indianapolis is a city that has a major highway (Interstate 70) dissect it East and West in the center of the city. Meridian Street dissects the city North and South and I-465 circles around the city (Indy is called the Circle City ). One can easily drive around the loop in an hour, making

Trickle Down Impact of San Diego Moves

Somebody made a point as to what the Padres transactions did for the psyche for the other teams. The Padres have now joined the Dodgers, Braves, probably Mets, and maybe the Nationals (with their pitching and Soto/Robles/Turner) to separate from the rest of the NL. Some team from the NL Central will get to the playoffs, because, well one of the teams has to. It is a rule. Because of
