So the Dodgers got swept yesterday? Yawn! Big Deal! We did get to see a whole bunch of players who will not be with the team in 2018 . maybe ever! Logan Forsythe did nothing to dissuade anyone he is playing for a a contract and might have a career year. Trayce Thompson is trying to hit his way onto the team. Matt Beaty hit a Big Fly. No one not
It s nice, but it means nothing well I guess it means something, but, not a lot! It s ONE Spring Training Game. The first one. That said, what a great game! Baseball is back. One game means nothing but if it did, a lot of cool things happened and you might draw the following conclusions: Wilmer Font should be in the Dodger s bullpen; Logan Forsythe will have a career year; Matt
Well, beat the drum and hold the phone The sun came out today We re born again, there s new grass on the field A-roundin third, and headed for home It s a brown-eyed handsome man Anyone can understand the way I feel Oh, put me in, Coach I m ready to play today Put me in, Coach I m ready to play today Look at me, I can be centerfield Well, I spent some
The Dodgers will not win 104 games this year and I am not saying that they aren t as good as last year. Depending upon how things shake out, you could be even better. They just won t win as many games because all the teams in the NL West are better in fact, most of the teams in the NL are better except for maybe the Marlins and the Pirates. Competition
Camelback Ranch is a Holy Place where Dodger Fans convene every Spring to make a pilgrimage to the Big Dodger in the Sky! Yes, there is a Dig Dodger in the Sky disagree and we have to fight to the death! [DISCLAIMER: In today s political climate, I am forced to say that is a joke, otherwise the FBI might be taking me away.] If you don t go to Dodger Insider
A lot of Dodger Fans have written this guy off for 2018 and have traded him away already except that he is still with the Dodgers. There is perhaps no more polarizing Dodger than Yasmani Grandal. He was acquired by the Andrew Friedman front office who traded the fan favorite (at the time), Matt Kemp for him. I am certain that is part of the reason Yasmani is so vilified.
When a rookie pitcher gets a September call-up, one of three things generally happens: They look bad; They look mediocre; or They look good! Adam Wainwright of the Cardinals came up in September and put up a 13.50 ERA, but followed that up with a 3.12 ERA the next year. There are many other instances of where pitchers did not impress in their September auditions, but came back and were
I am going to give a shameless plug to The Athletic and print an article in it s entirety. That s generally a NO-NO, but I am doing it so that you can see how good they are and how valuable they will become. Pedro Moura wrote the following this week: Pedro Moura: Why I’m here, and why I think you should be, too I started today at The Athletic. I left the 137-year-old Los
Secret Weapon #1 This is a series that will focus on several weapons the Dodgers have that could make a world of difference to them in 2018. Today, we will discuss secret weapon #1. This series will run several days I can t tell you how many there are because you can t know (yet) how many secret weapons the Dodgers have. When the Dodgers traded Adrian Gonzalez, Scott Kazmir, Brandon
Okay now that Yu Darvish is signed, sealed, and delivered to the Chicago Cubs, who is the next domino to fall? 21 of the top 50 are still unsigned, and 6 of the top ten. Interestingly, 5 of those 6 are represented by Scott Boras (JDM, Hosmer, Arrieta, Moustakas, and Holland). Is it collusion, or is it anti Scott Boras? So what does that mean for the Dodgers? The
In doing some research, I was reminded of two trades the Cardinals made this year that did not include Ozuna. In 2014/2015, the Cardinals had two solid OF prospects that they were very high on…Randal Grichuk and Stephen Piscotty. This year they were traded to Toronto and Oakland respectively. In the trade to Toronto, Grichuk netted them a very good RH middle reliever, Dominic Leone. In 70.1 IP in Toronto,
I was never a fan of Yu Darvish until he became a Dodger. Then, I rooted for him. To me he screamed underachiever! OK, maybe I am wrong, but I think that a professional pitcher north of 30 should understand what tipping pitches is and should be savvy enough not to do it. Yet, Darvish tipped his pitches or just plain chocked! Well, tipping pitches is choking too, so there s
