Well, spring training is underway. Dodger pitchers have looked great in the first four games, allowing just 4 earned runs. They have scored 34 runs in the four games without hitting a home run, which is also pretty impressive considering the power potential of the team. And the pitchers have allowed just one homer. Of course, at 6-3, they now have a couple of home runs. Their opponents in the…

Lose and you are an afterthought. I like the Dodgers’ chances. Ohtani will start and…
In case you don’t know who Mark Kertenian is, he was the Manager of the Rancho Cucamonga Quakes in 2019 and was a rising star in the Dodger Organization.
