Actually, it’s past time. I am so done with Craig Kimbrel! Three letters: DFA! It’s over, done; stick a fork in him! So, who’s the closer? Let’s run down the list: Evan Phillips – Tell me he can’t. He has the stuff, and while he has never done it, he looks cold-blooded and calm in these situations. I think he can do it, but can the Dodgers depend upon him…
The Dodgers can score six runs in 2/3 of an inning off of a pitcher who has a 6.49 ERA and is a total mess but can only score one run off of average to below-average pitchers in 7-1/3 innings. When the best part of Max Muncy’s game is his defense (and it is actually pretty good), the time has come to do something with Max Muncy. Maybe Andrew has…
If I knew that I had three months to live, I would root for Andrew Friedman to trade as many prospects as possible in order to win the World Series. Of course, only the good die young, so I will live to be 126 years old! Shoot, I’d tell Andrew Friedman to trade for David Bednar, Juan Soto, Luis Castillo, David Robertson, and JD Martinez. “Gut the farm. Who cares,…
Not me… the Dodgers. I do not think the Dodgers have signed a single Draftee. Just sayin’… JT may go on the IL; CT3 may go on a rehab assignment within a week; Heaney will be back this week; Treinen sounds like he is two weeks away; The Bazooka may get activated this week; Dustin May is about 2 weeks away; Buehler is set for September (make him a lockdown…
Tonight’s game against the Giants could likely prove to be one of the most important… if not THE MOST IMPORTANT START of the season for a Dodger pitcher. Why? Simply because in his last start, Mitch White gave up ten Hits and six Earned Runs, raising his ERA from 3.38 to 4.20. Mitch has started twelve major league games in his short career, and eight of them have been this…
I see so many websites and blogs that analyze the Amateur Draft until they are paralyzed. Get that: Analyze until you are Paralyzed! They look at these young men like a proctologist looking for something I don’t even want to discuss. Look, these are young men… actually kids, in many cases, and while it is fashionable to say “he projects…” or “his stuff will play up” or whatever else they…
There is only one game today across all of baseball, and that is the MLB All-Star Game. There are six (6) Dodgers on the squad, including Mookie Betts, Trea Turner, and Clayton Kershaw, who are all starting the game. Tony Gonsolin, Tyler Anderson, and Freddie Freeman are also on the team, but Will Smith should have also been there. It will be poetic justice if Will Smith is named the…
The 2022 Futures Game is finally here and will be held tonight. The seven-inning American vs. National League game will take place at Dodger Stadium on Saturday, July 16 at 7 p.m. ET/4 p.m. PT. It will be broadcast live on Peacock and SiriusXM, with MLB Network producing the telecast and re-airing the game at 9 a.m. ET on Sunday. Scott Braun, Yonder Alonso, Jim Callis, and A.J. Andrews will…
A lot of Dodger fans have postulated that the Dodgers should “just extend Trea Turner” right about now, like “just push a button,” and he will be extended. If it were only that simple. I think that right about now, Trea Turner is the best SS in baseball. The Rangers signed Corey Seager for ten years at $325 Million, and the Mets signed Francisco Lindor for ten years and $341…
Behind 6-0, the Dodgers come back to win! That in and of itself was amazing, but the sub-stories are what it is all about. No pitcher has ever entered the All-Star Break undefeated and with an ERA under 2.00. Tony Gonsolin is still perfect… thanks to the Dodger’s comeback, but his ERA is now 2.02! He coughed up a hairball, but did not get tagged with a loss. Behind 6…
