Michael Busch is a Minor League Player for the Los Angeles Dodgers who just finished his second full season, even though he was actually drafted in 2019 and had all of 24 ABs in the Minor Leagues because he was hit by a pitch and missed the rest of the season with broken bones. Of course, in COVID-2020, Busch did not play, so 2021 was his actual “first season,” and…
We did Christmas on Christmas Eve, and it was spectacular. My youngest son got me the coolest gift ever! I just re-did my office, and I had wall space for a nice three or four-foot picture or painting. I was not sure what I was going to put there. Of course, I raised Stephen to be a good LA Dodger Fan, and he and his wife surprised me with this:…
I tried not to leave anyone out so as not to offend anyone… but I am sure someone is offended. Sorry! As I write this, it is 1 degree F, but it was -11 yesterday. We only have about 2″ of snow on the ground, however. When it is this cold, it doesn’t snow here. We just got done with our Company Christmas Party, and it was a blast. Below…
I will not presume to speak for Trevor Bauer, but I do not think the “WIN” he got today was enough or what he wanted. I also will not pretend to know if he can play while appealing the verdict. From what I know about Trevor Bauer, I think he is willing to go “balls to the wall.” But what I do not fully understand is whether he HAS TO…
Well, he did not actually do that, and it is not my intent to disparage Justin Turner. He will always be a Dodger in my mind, but I think he should have just retired rather than go to Boston. Essentially by not signing JT and signing JDM instead, he made that trade. But like lots of athletes, Justin Turner did not know when to quit as he thinks he can…
It’s time for some Sunday School, Boys, and Girls, and I have a few observations, including what the Dodgers need to do for a SS, CF’er, and a six-man rotation in 2023. It’s time for some Sunday School Education. JD Martinez: The fact that the Dodgers signed J..D. Martinez means two things: (1) Max Muncy will play 3B while JD plays his best position – DH; and when Muncy DH’s…
We have hashed and re-hashed the state-of-the Dodger’s pitching for what seems like a hundred years when it has only been a few weeks. I have maintained that the Dodgers do not need another starter, as that starter blocks Pepiot, Stone, and Miller. However, when a player wants to be a Dodger and takes less money than you would expect on a short-term deal, what are you going to do?…
At the time the Dodgers traded for Mookie Betts, there was a lot of conversation as to who was the best player in baseball – Mike Trout or Mookie Betts? Sadly for both players, we do not hear that much anymore as both have slipped… and it does not appear that either player will continue to get better as Trout is 31 and Mookie is 30. Both ended the 2022…
Lots of fans of the Dodgers, as well as of other teams, have said that the Dodgers’ 2020 World Series Championship was tainted somehow because the season was just 60 games. Of course, they conveniently leave out the fact that they had to play in empty stadiums and had no home-field advantage. They also had to play an extra round in the playoffs, which no team (up until then) had…
There is an old saying in baseball that you can never have too much pitching, so it seems logical that Dodger fans want Andrew Friedman to pick up more pitchers. Some Dodger fans thought that Andrew Friedman would sign Justin Verlander or Jacob deGrom. He didn’t sign either one and then proceeded to let Andrew Heaney, Tyler Anderson, Chris Martin, and Tommy Kahnle walk. Now I hear Dodger fans want…
