I have been rehabbing from my shoulder surgery very nicely. It’s been two and a half weeks, and I am pain-free, able to type and raise my arm to about 145 degrees… and counting. I am working with the editors of www.manuscripts.com and have 32 consecutive weeks of intense writing and editing. The plan is to go to press in May 2026. This is all-consuming, and then come the interviews,…
We all know what it is. Is Dave Roberts insane for running Tanner Scott out there (over and over) again only to get the same results? Not yet! The Dodgers could really use the Tanner Scott they thought they signed. I think he gets another week or ten days to work out his problems before they pull the plug. Is he tipping pitches, or has the league just figured out…
The AFL Rosters were just announced – here are the Dodgers prospects playing in the AFL: Los Angeles righthander Hyun-Seok Jang is one of the most mercurial pitchers in the Fall League. In a vacuum, his stuff should allow him to dominate. In fits and starts, that’s the case. His command and control are shaky enough, however, that outings can quickly go off the rails. If the best version of Jang shows…
My quick answer is NO! The Dodgers are going to make the playoffs barring a horrific collapse. These next three games with Colorado are the Rockies’ World Series, so watch out. I talked with a friend of mine who is a big baseball fan (not the Dodgers), and we came up with some engaging scenarios. He thinks that the Dodgers are “sandbagging.” Here’s what he means by that: We all…
A few fans disagreed with my suggestion that DEI could be a contributing factor to the Dodgers’ woes. A few called it ridiculous. One said I was having withdrawal symptoms from my meds (which I have been off of for eight days). One moron accused me of thinking I know everything for simply suggesting that DEI could be at play. I do take exception to that idiot, but I realize…
Insofar as I can tell, the Los Angeles Dodgers are the only team that actively promotes its DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) approach. To me, as a fan, this is simply an attempt at virtue signaling. Virtue signaling occurs when a person publicly expresses specific moral values, opinions, or attitudes—often about social or political issues—to demonstrate to others that they are a “good” or “morally virtuous” person, rather than out…
I refuse to talk about last night’s game. I have some thoughts, but this isn’t the right time. I have plenty to say, but this isn’t the time to say it. Hope still springs eternal… until it doesn’t. I have not reached that point… Some Dodger fans have had their attention grabbed by Kendall George and his 101 stolen bases. By the way, he has been caught 24 times. If…
Mark Timmons, longtime blogger about Dodger Baseball and totally unauthorized spokesman for the Los Angeles Dodgers, states that, beginning immediately, the Los Angeles Dodgers will compete in the newly formed “Little Sisters of the Poor Slowpitch Softball League” where they are expected to dominate some second-tier teams. Included in this softball league will be the Texas School for the Blind and Little Sisters of the Poor Nursing Home, who are…
Every year, the Dodgers go through tough stretches, and many fans lose their minds and spew forth vomit about the Dodgers. It happens like this every year. Then I come back and try to explain that baseball is a game of streaks and adjustments to which some dumbasses always reply, “Well, you just love Friedman.” Well, maybe you should, too. The Dodgers have been the best team in baseball over…
