It seems like every season lately the media talks about the depth of the Dodger organization. It also seems like every season that depth is tested. The beginning of this season seems to be no exception. The depth of the starting rotation is already under scrutiny because of the…
I got to thinking about this earlier today when I was watching an old Miller beer commercial on Facebook. The player in the commercial was none other than “The Penguin”, Ron Cey. Back when I first began following the game, there were so many players with nicknames. Some were…
Apparently the Dodgers need 6 Aces to succeed. Although they have won back to back WS without that luxury. The season is 22 games in, and fans are not happy because Emmet Sheehan (26) is still rounding into form after a very slow start to Spring Training. Every start has…
It’s early, and the Rockies have no chance at even getting to 10 games below .500 this year, so the Dodgers are their shot at fame. That’s a thing… but also the Los Angeles Dodgers have some arm issues. Roki Sazaki can’t throw strikes, and his velocity is about 5 MPH off his top…
Albuquerque Isotopes (Rockies) 8 – OKC Comets 6 It is not easy pitching in Albuquerque, but LHSP Jackson Ferris was able to minimize the damage with all sorts of traffic over 4.0 innings. He allowed 3 runs on 6 hits, 5 BB, and 2 Ks. RHRP Garrett McDaniels pitched well in his 2.0…
With a game time temperature of 35 degrees, and a field that was covered in snow before, the game the Dodgers dominated the Rockies in an 7-1 victory. It took 5 hours to clear the snow. https://twitter.com/DodgersNation/status/2045239370832339207?s=20…
Over the years several players could be counted on to be in the lineup on opening day. In my last post, I chronicled the foursome of Garvey, Lopes, Cey and Russell. The infield that was together longer than any other foursome in MLB history. In this post, we will look at the…
Evidently, the Dodgers should rest Shohei Ohtani whenever he pitches if this is the result. Tanner Scott looks like Tanner Scott. Give Kyle Hurt some time – he’s filthy! Brock Stewart is coming soon. Rushing is barking at the door. Andy Pages = All-Star CF’er Dodgers Down on the…
June 23, 1973: Dodger Stadium Los Angeles, opponent, the Cincinnati Reds. In the second game of a doubleheader, Steve Garvey, Davey Lopes, Ron Cey, and Bill Russell, started a game together as an infield for the first time. They would make up the infield for the next eight…
I am not going to pile on Roki. Has he pitched well? I do not believe he even believes that. But he is a MLB pitcher. His 80 th percentile whiff rate tells you that. He needs to clean up his fastball command as well as his secondary command. His fastball is catching too much of…
DISCLAIMER: It was a late Friday night in Indiana (1 AM-ish), and when Edwin Diaz came in with a 7-4 lead, I almost went to bed, but something told me to stay up. I’m glad I did. Here’s the tale… Ladies and gentlemen, gather ‘round — because on Friday night at the Ravine, Max…
