Well, the Dodgers lost last night – for the first time in 10 games – and of course, someone must be blamed. “Dave Roberts should have never started Trevor Bauer” is a theme that seems popular today. Second-guessers are never wrong! However, I guarantee the decision to start Bauer was done by “committee.” The Dodgers front office sends Dave Roberts all types of data about everything related to the game…
It’s amazing how well Clayton Kershaw can pitch against the Astros who they have no trashcans to bang! Remember this? Without the cheating, the Dodgers would have won two World Series… not just one. To me, that is unforgiveable. I read an article alleging that the Dodgers may have cheated, and here is my comment: “Bring charges, or shutup!” Nothing more to be said. Here’s what the players think about…
I have been a huge Corey Seager fan since he came into the league… actually before he came into the league. I said that he was ready in 2014, but Andrew Friedman didn’t listen to me and acquired Jimmy Rollins, instead! I said that Seager could remain at Shortstop and I still believe that he can stay there… for the foreseeable future, but, if the right trade happens to come…
Tuesday, the Dodgers return to the scene of the crime, as they take on the Houston ASStericks in Trash Can Banging Stadium. Clayton Kershaw goes against hired mercenary, Zack Greinke. I hope they beat him like a rented mule. This should be retribution. If there is baseball justice, all the ASStericks will collide behind 2B on a popup and have to be taken to a local hospital or funeral homes….
What? You thought I was talking about Gonsolin, McKinstry, Alexander, Pollock, Graterol, and Bellinger? No, I am talking about Michael “Bear” Norris! What else would I be talking about? Bear will be back soon and then this place will return to normal. OK, so it’s not normal… who cares? Oh, and all those players will likely soon be back and things will be “normaler” for the Dodgers. Here’s was OKC’s…
I will give you 8 Million reasons why… but those reasons do not last forever. However, at the present juncture Dave Roberts has to find out if Joe Kelly is a viable option. Last night, he did not pitch well (and that is being kind). In his two previous outings he looked much better, while in his first outing, he was bombed. At some point in the next couple of…
The Dodgers Bullpen moved from #7 to #6 in bullpen ERA among all MLB teams. If this doesn’t impress you, then you are unimpressionable. A few short weeks ago, they were #18! Right now, their bullpen ERA is 3.53, but they started the climb when it was 4.47. In my opinion, the TOP BULLPENS have ERA’s below 3.00 and right about now, here are the TOP Bullpen ERA’s: #1 –…
The Dodgers have amazing depth in their system, both at the major league level and the minor league level, so it leaves me a little puzzled when I hear fans berate the depth or lack thereof. Of course, those who do not believe in the depth are also puzzled when I say the depth is “amazing.” What’s the disconnect? Why did the Dodgers bring in players like Albert Pujols and…
What does Albert Pujols bring to the table? How about just poking the ball through the hole at SS to score Mookie from 3B. That play was better than a thousand words. When you have a chance to score the runner from 3B, you do it. Forget the long ball. Take notes, kids! This is what HOF’ers do!
I have only two problems with Rob Manfred: (1) Everything he says; and (2) Everything he does! I hope Tony Clark comes to the bargaining table this offseason and says “The MLBPA refuses to negotiate with the owners as long as Rob Manfred is Commissioner.” He gets up and walks out! That would be the start of a very good day!
