It was a pre-season game where only three of the nine likely starters played, and they had av combined total of nine at-bats. This was a game where some fringe minor leagues and non-roster invitees got their chance, and most blew it or at least did not show much. Well Eddie…
Well, my son, nephew, and I leave for Camelback Ranch at 5:45 AM on Thursday and hope to make it to the first Spring Training versus the Cubs at 1:05 PM. We get into PHX at 8:05 AM. I have two extra tickets for Thursday’s game and one extra ticket for Saturday’s game. These are…
For the past several years, this site has been full of morons and bombastic idiots. Frankly, it was my fault. I tolerated it for too long, but then came the “purge.” The idiots are gone, and only the smart ones have remained. Some others have returned, and we are adding 15-20…
Actually, I meant to say “Swing,” but the picture below is what I woke up to, so I wanted to think about Spring. I am glad I am headed to Camelback Ranch on Thursday. Here’s to warmer days. BTW, your comments will always be in moderation for the rest of the month. LADT has been…
Frequently, I read and hear fans complaining that the Dodgers don’t have many homegrown position players. Well, duh… that’s what happens when you win your division every year and go to the playoffs as well. You draft at the bottom of each round. Here are four reasons why it is…
Now, before you all lose your minds, let me say that I am rooting for Shohei Ohtani to return to the mound and be a successful pitcher… I just am skeptical that he will! Look no further than our own (formerly) Walker Buehler and remember what a struggle it was for him last year…
In case no one told you… baseball is changing. Well, actually, it HAS changed. Most fans and insiders alike now understand that “ Three Outcome Players ” are no big deal. They understand that OPS is more important than BA. They understand that how we used to value players is not…
If you think that Kike Hernandez is “ just another poor hitting utility player ” you may suffer from the same malady Kike did the first half of last season: LACK OF VISION . Kike hit .191 in the first half of 2024, and during that time, he had a conversation with Martin…
I am here to tell you the team that will win the Super Bowl tonight. Listen up! I guarantee the accuracy of this prediction 100%! OK, here it is: THE TEAM THAT SCORES THE MOST POINTS WILL WIN! Or.. I could have said THE TEAM WITH THE MVP WILL WIN! How the hell do I know who will…
There are some baseball projection services such as ZIPS and STEAMER, and I always say that I will never look at or consider them again because they are never right, but come the Dog Days before Spring Training, I end up looking ZIPS and here are some of their 2025 Projections…
Let’s start with what we know: We know that this is a talented team that just came off a World Series Championship. We know that by signing Blake Snell and Roki Sasaki and with Shohei Ohtani, Dustin May, and Tony Gonsolin ready to pitch eighteen months removed from Tommy John…
Everyone is considering what might happen by “Thinking in the Box.” A few of you are thinking “Outside of the Box,” but you all need to be aware that there is no box. Before I do so, I would like to have a moment of silence for Faye Vincent. He was a great man. He lived in Vero…
