Battle for the NL West

September 24, 2024

The pitching staff got a much-needed day off yesterday, and now the Dodgers will face King, Cease, and Musgrove as the Padres are looking to sweep the Dodgers and tie them for first place in the NL West. The Dodgers just announced that it will be Knack, Flaherty, and Buehler who will start, but this is all very, very interesting. This is what it all comes down to, and this…

No Morons Allowed!

September 22, 2024

Every team that has a chance at the playoffs is sucking air! It’s a long season, and we are down to “crunch time.” I am just going to continue to root for the Dodgers and warn the morons to stay away from here. If you disagree… well, you are a dumbass and a moron! I happen to have an aversion to morons and dumbasses! Just go away… you are not…

Magic Number: 5/3

September 22, 2024

Los Angeles Dodgers Magic Numbers You can see the flashes with Walker Buehler, as he struck out 9 in 5.1 IP. He only walked one, but we did not see consistency. He has one more start to see if he can attain that. Tony Gonsolin went three innings for OKC last night, throwing 45 pitches. He did not allow any hits and walked just one while striking out six. His…

Don’t Dis Ohtahi!

September 21, 2024

Yeah, the bases are four inches closer, and the number of throws to 1B is limited, but no legitimate power hitter in baseball has ever done what Shohei Ohtani has done in terms of stealing bases. NOBODY! … and almost nobody is doing what he has done this year, in terms of stealing bases and ALSO hitting home runs! He’s not perfect, but to criticize his game says more about…

The Second Best Player in Baseball

September 20, 2024

In 2024, the single-best player in the Grand Game of Baseball is Aaron Judge. That could change next year. Aaron Judge will be 33, and Shohei Ohtani will be 31. Judge is still in his prime… maybe he has a couple of years at the top of his game left. Ohtani has improved this year, and I expect even more next year. Ohtani has been slumping for a few games,…

The Marlins are Awesome!

September 18, 2024

It seems like every time the Dodgers score nine runs, they win, but the Marlins are evidently the best team in baseball because, after all, we have been told that the best team always wins! Right? Of course, I am being sarcastic! In baseball, unlike a game like basketball, the best team does not always win. In fact, in baseball, every team is going to win about 54 games and…

Rants & Raves

September 17, 2024

Shohei Ohtani Likely to Pitch in Playoffs Dodgers Nation has a video entitled “Why Tyler Glasnow Left Team Revealed.” Feel free to watch it, and maybe you will see. Doug McKain must get paid by the word because he could have used 3 minutes to say what it took him 58 minutes on the video. Don’t get me wrong, this must appeal to some people … maybe people who have…

What? Me Worry?

September 15, 2024

It seems such a waste of time to worry about ridiculous things, but it’s amazing how many people get trapped in this vicious cycle. It falls into the category of irrational fears. Tyler Glasnow has been added to the list of injured pitchers. That list is long and includes Nick Frasso, Tony Gonsolin, Kyle Hurt, Clayton Kershaw, River Ryan, Joe Kelly, Dustin May, Emmet Sheehan, and Gavin Stone. All are out for…

How to Fix the Plethora of Tommy John Surgeries

September 14, 2024

Legend has it that Sandy Koufax threw 100 MPH and had a 12-6 curve that was unhittable. He was so good that they called him the “Left Arm of God.”That was propounded by the master storyteller, Vin Scully. It all sounds plausible, but it wasn’t true. According to Charles Tips, Co-Founder of Star Maker  Baseball Academy in Redwood City, “the highest speed Koufax was ever clocked at was 93.2 mph.” That is in…

Bobby Miller’s Season is Over!

September 11, 2024

It pains me to say this, but Bobby is just not quite right in the head. Oh, he’s not crazy—he’s just confused and has lost all his confidence. He has to learn either to throw another fastball with a different grip and better spin and to trust his pitches or start over. It won’t happen this year, and he needs to go to Camelback Ranch and work on rebuilding his…
