It has always been hard for me to rank the Top Ten Dodger Prospects, but I am going to give it a stab here before to the All-Star Break. Sometimes the criteria for ranking prospects is a little hazy to define. Do you rank a AAA player who is close to being MLB-Ready higher than…
The last Dodger no-hitter was a combined effort by Buehler, Tony Cingrani, Yimi Garcia and Adam Liberatore against the Padres in Mexico City, Mexico on May 4, 2018. It was the first combined no hitter in team history, and it was also the first no hitter thrown outside of the…
I hate to say I told you so, but I told you I did not think Clayton Kershaw would pitch well last night. After the game was over Clayton said: “ I’m not going to overthink it. “I just sucked today. I haven’t been that bad in a long time.” What was first? The chicken or the egg…
What changes will really occur in the next 30+ days? Let me start with what will not happen: Dave Roberts will not be fired; Robert Van Socyoc, Aaron Bates, and Brant Brown will not be fired; Gavin Stone and Bobby Miller will not be called up; Dustin May, Victor Gonzalez, Blake…
Bill Singer On July 20, 1970, righty Bill Singer threw what was the 18th no-hitter in Dodger history and the first since Koufax’s perfect game in 1965. In doing so he accomplished something that Dodger legends like Don Drysdale and Don Sutton never did. He threw a no-hitter in a…
… right about now would be a panic move that nothing good would likely come from. Anytime you think you HAVE to make a trade, you will always overpay! Every time. Sometimes you have to, but there is no reason to do so right about now. Yes, the Dodgers have lost Blake Treinen…
That’s what happens when you build such a deep pitching staff. What the Devil was Andrew Friedman thinking? He just assembled a cast of too many pitchers and was too easy on some and too hard on others… or at least that’s the rumor. Well, Caleb Ferguson isn’t happy with how long…
Bob Welch #35 My most memorable memory of Bob Welch was his confrontation with Reggie Jackson as a 21-year-old in the 1978 World Series game two. He struck Mr. October out to win the game. Epic battle. The slugger against the fireballing rookie. The Dodgers would end up losing…
8 runs on 9 Hits. That’s better… not good! But I’ll take it! Freddie Freeman is smoking hot! Will Smith is white-hot, and Bellinger, Taylor, Turner, and Muncy were 2-14! YIKES! Gavin Lux is hitting .290. I am happy for him, and Trayce Thompson hit a 2-run double that was legit…
There is an old saying “All hat, no cattle” which is an American expression referring to someone who is all talk but no action. It is also used to describe someone who presents the appearance of something they aren’t. It is similar to the British expression “all mouth and no…
Tomorrow at about 3 PM EDT, my brother (a Reds fan) and I, along with another US Water Systems employee who is also a Reds fan will pile into the Rocket Ship and head to Cincinnati. It’s an employee entertainment perk, so I can write it off. 😉 I call my Ford F-150 “ The Rocket…
Let’s get right to it. THE GOOD Andrew Heaney – In his return from the IL, he took up where he left off with 5 IP, 5 H, 1 ER, 1 BB, 7 K’s. That was a very encouraging performance. The Bazooka – He did allow a hit, but closed out his inning with 2 Ks. Yency Almonte – He just does…
