Mookie, Freddie, and Kike each had two hits. Mookie is smoking hot. Freddie is back over .300, and Kike is heating up. In his last 7 games, Kike is hitting .294 and appears to be in a platoon with Max Muncy. Pages and Outman platoon in CF, except when Pages play RF, and Lux and…
Of course, that is a generalization that is not always true, but it is true enough of the time that I am concerned. Last night, the Dodgers scored 11 runs on 20 hits. Betts and Smith had 4 hits each, while Ohtani and Pages had 3 each. Muncy and Lux had two each. It was quite an…
Singer Ray Stevens is given credit for writing the phrase “ There is none so blind as he who will not see ” in a line from the song “Everything Is Beautiful” which was released in 1970. I actually think someone said it long before Crazy Ray. Now, I am not proclaiming that…
If ever there was a shred of doubt about who the Dodger’s Ace might be, Tyler Glasnow removed it yesterday with a masterful eight innings and 101 pitches of shutout baseball. Here’s a stat for you: Number of starts with 7+ IP, 0 ER, 0 BB & 10+ K in a single season (Dodgers…
A lot of Dodger Fans are writing off Walker Buehler because the velocity of his four-seamer topped out at 95.9 MPH in his last start and probably averaged 94 MPH. They remember the Walker Buehler (or is it “misremember”?) who threw 99-100 MPH and walked on water, but of course…
Do you remember Linus, the character in Charlie Brown who always had a black cloud hanging over his head? That feels like the Dodgers right about now. We might as well listen to a little Meghan Trainor… It’s pretty obvious that MLB hitters are looking to hit Yamamoto’s first…
OKC has lost two games back-to-back, and Miguel Vargas was not in OKC’s lineup for a second consecutive day, but it was for a very good reason. He took his U.S. citizenship test and passed. He is no longer a Cuban. He is now an American. BTW, is this the only country you go to…
Your Los Angeles Dodgers are now 12-9, and fans are jumping off bridges, buildings, couches and sandboxes. The Dodgers have lost 3 of their last 4 games. Today is an off day, but yesterday kind of felt like rock bottom. Maybe it was – or maybe rock bottom is still below us…
I don’t! I have been just fine, but most Dodger Fans are losing their damn minds. No, let me rephrase that – they have already lost their minds! Have you ever watched the game of baseball? Do you know that it is sometimes maddening? I cannot predict what will happen, but I would…
It seems like every other day, someone is blowing out their UCL and needing Tommy John Surgery. The Dodgers have had their share – Buehler, Gonsolin, May, Frasso, et al. What can be done to stop this? Can anything be done to stop this? I have been listening to all of the talk…
The two teams that played in the World Series last year are at .500; both are 8-8. The Brewers are 10-4, and the Pirates are 11-5. The Yankees are 12-4, and the Guardians are 10-5. I think it’s a good bet that of those six teams, the majority will not make the playoffs. The…
