First of all, I want to welcome back James Outman who went 2-4 . He could have sulked when he got sent back to OKC after finishing #3 in the NL ROY balloting… but he did not. He went to OKC and went about his business and here he is back in the Show. I love James Outman and his story, his hustle, his grit, and it’s time for Dodger…
In 2023, the Dodgers had a 8-5 record against the Arizona Diamondbacks, and we all remember how that season ended. As of right now, the Dodgers have a 4-5 record against that bunch from Arizona. The Dodgers have four more games with the D-Bags August 30, 31 and September 1 and 2. Clearly, the regular season means very little, which is why it feels like this team is sleepwalking and…
I used to have favorite players. My first was Sandy Koufax, followed by Ron Fairly. I loved Willie and Tommy Davis and Ron Cey. For a while, I had no favorites, and then Adrian Beltre burst on the scene. Later, it was Clayton Kershaw, but after that, I really did not have a favorite player because, in some respects, they are like cattle that can be marketed. I know that…
When I was nine years old, my father and mother moved the family (my younger brother and I) from the city to the farm. My parents were poor, and we just rented a farmhouse on a large farm, and the landlord let us use part of the barn. We ended up buying a couple of quarter horses (I don’t know what the other three quarters were), and from age nine…
Ninety percent (or more) of the commenters on LADT are knowledgeable and have strong opinions. I run LADT like I run my real company (US Water Systems): Everyone understands that my door is open, and they can walk in and openly disagree with me, but if you disagree, “Have a Take and Do Not Suck.” That simply means that if you disagree with what I say, then clearly articulate why…
Note: I am not back, but I am not gone either. The morons have two strikes on them. Whether they stay or go is on them. I don’t know how much I will post, but the thread will be open daily. Have at it. Cavan Biggio was released by the Toronto Blue Jays after hitting .200 this season. The Dodgers have had some success in “fixing” certain players, so they…
The Dodgers are on pace to win over 100 games this season… again… for the fourth year in a row. No has EVER (in baseball history) EVER done that, but were it not for the COVID-19 short season, the Dodgers would have won 100 games six years in a row! Let that sink in! No team has ever been this dominant for this long… EVER! Yet, I think some Dodger…
I am losing patience with silly comments by people who always say the same thing in relation to players. Zero Understanding is something I do not tolerate well, so keep saying silly stuff and see what happens. This does not apply to most of you. Take it for what it is worth, but I do get my share of it right. With all the insane trade proposals I am hearing…
Logic is the language of the conscious mind, emotion is the language of the unconscious mind. We know that emotions are reactions to perceived and imagined stimuli, not based on logic, but on one’s own personal experiences. Emotions often outweigh our logic. Last Spring Training, I championed Miguel Vargas as a player who could become a star. Not a superstar, mind you… but a star. I also said that James…
