Anytime the season starts with a Giant loss, especially a fantastic bullpen meltdown and a Dodger win, It s all good! Obviously, there is a long way to go, but you might as well get off to a good start against the AAAA Little Sisters of the Poor. I think Clayton Kershaw makes more than the whole team and it s easy to see why! Seven straight Opening Day wins! Joc Pederson
A few years ago, a blog called The Post Game was published with the picture I just posted on the cover page. There is no photo credit, but they evidently photoshopped it, so kudos to them. I hope they don t mind my using it. In the article they quoted Clayton Kershaw: It s funny that s a headline story World Series or bust, Kershaw told ThePostGame. I feel like every team
Opening Day for Baseball Season is today! The Dodger have their opening day on Monday and it looks like they are firing on all cylinders. Corey Seager could get out of bed and single on the way to the bathroom. I have just a few thoughts about the approach of the season: The Dodgers may not need a Brad Brach before the season is over Yasiel Sierra could be
We now know who comprises the 25 man roster. Is it what I would have chosen? Probably not, but I do understand the reasons for the selections. I was disappointed that Chris Taylor was not selected, but I understand why Kike’ was valued more as utility player. I understand that Taylor is an infielder that needs to learn OF. If Seager goes on the DL, it will not be Kike’
Well the Freeway Series has started and this gives FAZ one more chance to scout and decide if they want to pull the trigger on a Caleb Ferguson/Mitchell Hanson trade for Mike Trout. Sure it is silly and extreme, but it is only slightly more silly than some of the Cole Hamels trade proposals I read. It’s easy to sit back and look at results and say that was a
While I love to read Dodgerrick’s comments, I think that he and I look at the state of the Dodgers in different prisms, but he asked some questions earlier that got me to thinking. While I may have initially taken exception to the tone (my perception, not his intent) of the questions, they are nonetheless legitimate and fair. Anyone betting on which starting pitcher goes on the DL 1st? Now
I AM POSTING THIS EARLY because I leave for Florida at 5 AM Wednesday Morning and won t be back be back until Monday. Hopefully Always Compete can keep you entertained I ll try and get a few in, but we have rented a 6 bedroom condo for the family Spring Break. Cheers! Here s the IMPORTANT STUFF, the way I see it: Bobby Wilson hit a 2-out 2-run HR (his 4th of the pre-season)
The Dodgers agreed to a contract with Justin Masterson yesterday which will cause some peoples heads to explode but others will get it. Low risk high reward! Brandon Morrow Low risk high reward! MLB Trade Rumors said this: It’s not clear at this point whether Masterson will be assigned to a minor-league roster or instead spend some time at extended spring training working with his new organization’s staff .
I m not a baseball professional, but Scott Kazmir s hip still tightens up and interferes with his delivery same as last year but his velocity is down. It sounds like that unless he fixes the hip there is going to be no hop on his fastball. I m not a doctor either, but it seems to me that if it can t be fixed, it s the end of the line for Mr .
