Some players burst onto the MLB scene and seem to be ready to play in the Show in their first game. Witness one James Outman! With other players, it’s a process. I watched Miguel Vargas struggle for a month or six weeks every time he went up a level. Gavin Stone flew through…
What’s for breakfast? How about some Stone-Ground Deviled Rays? If you have not been paying attention, maybe you have not noticed what The Bazooka has been doing: He has been taking 2-3 MPH off his fastball, and it is moving like crazy. He can still throw the Big Kahuna Heater…
Today, on Dodgers.com, Juan Toribio has a great piece on Noah Syndergaard, who sounds like he has had a fork stuck in him. Andrew Friedman has made a number of excellent acquisitions, but this is not one and you can’t win them all.I think AF is about to end the charade. Toribio…

Since becoming a Dodgers fan at age 9, sixty years ago, I have seen this story so many times that I laugh instead of panic. Most years, the Dodgers had no chance, but I rooted for them anyway. In 1988, they had no chance, but the impossible happened! Over the past ten years…
Having lived in other cities who have MLB teams, I know that sometimes the folks who live in those cities, or even states, feel you should be a fan of the team that plays there. I spent 12 years living in Phoenix and I have been here in Colorado for almost 13. When I was driving…

The Dodgers won the series against the Twins today, but lost Dustin May who will be headed to the IL with a Flexor Pronator strain. Dylan Covey, just recalled from OKC, came in to pitch starting in the second inning and gave the Dodgers four innings of relief, giving up two…
