I m off to go boating with my daughters family today so this is short! My wife and youngest son are doing a 4th of July event with their ice cream trucks and my oldest son is in Long Island today. So, it s just me Fireworks at Dodger Stadium have been cancelled due to the Dodgers smoking hot bats! Max Freaking Muncy should own 2B. With Gold Glove Caliber players at
Well, that was fun . and much needed too. An offensive explosion never hurts a team that is struggling with hitting. If I had told you in Spring Training that Matt Kemp would be an All-Star (and maybe the heart and soul of the team), that Max Muncy would be leading the team in HR and OPS ing over 1.000 and Ross Stripling would be the Dodgers ace, you would have signed
This figures to be a big week in the amateur signings for the Dodgers. Today starts the 2018-2019 international players signing period. Reportedly to have signed a multi million dollar contract is 16 year old Venezuelan Catcher Diego Cartaya (BA #3 Int l Prospect). Also signing were 16 year old RHP Jerming Rosario from Bani, DR (BA #23 Int l Prospect), and infielder Alex De Jesus (not in BA To 50). From
If FAZ had a Mulligan, they would rescind the Logan Forsythe Debacle. I can t criticize it because he should have been a solid player coming into his prime. Instead he was an injured and unproductive player to the Dodgers doom. That would have saved them about $9 million dollars this season and right about now, they could use it, because of this: No matter what any of the Dodger Brass
The Good News While the Dodgers couldn t jump out of a boat and hit water last night, the good news was that Rich Hill is rounding into form and becoming the type of starter the Dodgers thought the were getting until he turned into the Poster Child of Blisters. Thanks to Laser Technology, Rich Hill now has a bionic finger (I just made that last part up because it sounded
In the last thread, Tylerdurden31 stated that “If it clear we are one if the best five NL teams. We could be the best right now (even after an abysmal start). Between now and October we will experiment, test, and look for new ways to get production. Occasional failures like today must be tolerated in order to locate the growth potential in our roster. Win games? That’s last year. This
Right now, I trust Yimi Garcia, Pedro Baez, Scott Alexander and Company about as much as I trust a fox to guard the hen house. However, in baseball, many other sports and the stock market, it is best to see what can be, not what is. You don t buy a stock hoping it will stay where it is. You don t get a player who already has a high value unless
Ross Stripling was not sharp last night, but he battled and did a credible job, however Baez owns him (he should never pitch to Baez again just put him on); and I thought Ross was tiring, so I had no issues with Roberts taking him out. He might have done better or it could have been worse. Yasiel Puig took the blame for the loss and rightfully so. He just
Injury News Julio Urias, who has only been throwing off a mound for a few days, hit 88 MPH on the gun yesterday. He is set to thow a couple more bullpen sessions this week and hopes to pitch soon. The Dodgers are very encouraged. I would expect to see him pitching out of the pen this year. After hitting 88 so quickly, I would think he can find another
That sounds like a law firm, like Dewey, Cheatem and Howe . but it s not. Kike Hernandez I suggested this over the Winter and I am going to suggest it again: It s time to play Enrique Hernandez everyday! Yes, I know he has a history of not hitting RH pitching, but he also has a history of hitting some pretty big home runs off RH pitchers. This year, he has 91
I ve always like Fergie Duhamel, back to when she was originally with Wild Orchid, and now she does her own music. In High School, she was a cheerleader, straight-A student, spelling bee champion, and a Girl Scout. She s just the All-American Girl. However, her rendition of The National Anthem at the NBA All-Star Game was a low point. But who can forget her in this song by the Black Eyed Peas? So, Fergie is
I have been making trade proposals for over 40 years now and to date, I have never been right. I was close a very few times, so I keep it up knowing that even blind squirrels occasionally find nuts. Have you ever noticed how skinny blind squirrels are? However, I digress .Yesterday, Always Compete (AC) wrote this in response to my trade proposal for Manny Machado: If you want to get
