The D-Bags Own the Dodgers… This Year!

In 2023, the Dodgers had a 8-5 record against the Arizona Diamondbacks, and we all remember how that season ended. As of right now, the Dodgers have a 4-5 record against that bunch from Arizona. The Dodgers have four more games with the D-Bags August 30, 31 and September 1 and…

The Next Dodger Rookie SS

I used to have favorite players. My first was Sandy Koufax, followed by Ron Fairly. I loved Willie and Tommy Davis and Ron Cey. For a while, I had no favorites, and then Adrian Beltre burst on the scene. Later, it was Clayton Kershaw, but after that, I really did not have a…

Not Yet Time to go to the Whip!

When I was nine years old, my father and mother moved the family (my younger brother and I) from the city to the farm. My parents were poor, and we just rented a farmhouse on a large farm, and the landlord let us use part of the barn. We ended up buying a couple of quarter…

The Comment That Saved LADT

Ninety percent (or more) of the commenters on LADT are knowledgeable and have strong opinions. I run LADT like I run my real company (US Water Systems): Everyone understands that my door is open, and they can walk in and openly disagree with me, but if you disagree, “ Have a…

The Cavan Biggio Experiment is Over!

Note: I am not back, but I am not gone either. The morons have two strikes on them. Whether they stay or go is on them. I don’t know how much I will post, but the thread will be open daily. Have at it. Cavan Biggio was released by the Toronto Blue Jays after hitting .200 this…

On Track For 100 Wins… AGAIN!

The Dodgers are on pace to win over 100 games this season… again… for the fourth year in a row. No has EVER (in baseball history) EVER done that, but were it not for the COVID-19 short season, the Dodgers would have won 100 games six years in a row! Let that sink in! No team has…

Minor Help on the Horizon?

I am losing patience with silly comments by people who always say the same thing in relation to players. Zero Understanding is something I do not tolerate well, so keep saying silly stuff and see what happens. This does not apply to most of you. Take it for what it is worth, but…

Logic Trumps Emotion

Logic is the language of the conscious mind, emotion is the language of the unconscious mind. We know that emotions are reactions to perceived and imagined stimuli, not based on logic, but on one’s own personal experiences. Emotions often outweigh our logic. Last Spring…

Checkup From the Neck-Up

The Los Angeles Dodgers are currently #2 in runs scored and #3 in BA but are #1 in OB% and OPS, which, in my humble opinion, are the most important metrics. The pitching staff ain’t too shabby either. The Dodgers are #4 in team ERA, with the starters being #8 while the bullpen…

What Does the Future Hold for Walker Buehler?

Walker Buehler was a true power pitcher. While there may not be a definitive definition of what a power pitcher is, I am going to take a stab at it. I would define a power pitcher as this: “A Power Pitcher is is a pitcher who is in the upper five to ten percent of MLB pitchers…
