We are going to start today by talking about how we treat each other on this blog. It has been brought to my attention (and I have seen it myself) that some on this website are “argumentative, obnoxious, antagonistic, and want to pick fights”. No names will be named, but this WILL stop. You can stop it or I will stop it. Your choice! No more discussion – If you…
JT and the Trades
First of all, I would like to be the 10,000,000th Dodger fan to welcome JT back into the fold. I never thought he was going anywhere, so it was not a surprise to me. Nevertheless, he is a key cog into the well-oiled LAD machine and the Dodgers can head to ST ready to challenge all comers in their quest for a repeat. Take that San Diego. I guess…
Will the Players Strike Again?
Well, here we are approaching spring training again. And as has been the case over the last two years, there are some things that are still not settled between the players and ownership. The Universal DH has not been approved, but according to some sources it is still on the table. Ownership, players, managers and coaches all like it. But what MLB wants as a trade off for implementation so…

It’s Dumb to Use a Smartphone During a Baseball Game
Second base is up for grabs. About two-thirds of all teams in MLB would love to have Chris Taylor… and we could sure do worse. However, is this the year Gavin Lux seizes the day and fulfills his promise? This could possibly play out and CT3 becomes the “Swiss-Army Knife.”
Are the Dodgers Done?
Rios will get his chance even if JT returns, but if he doesn’t return, if I were AF, I would stand pat. Stick a fork in me. I am done… at least until the trade deadline. Then, if E-Rio can’t cut it then, the Dodgers kick the wheels on about a half dozen other third-basemen.
February 18th: Pitchers & Catchers Report
I do think it is plain dumb and very short-sighted not to have the DH in the NL. MLP and the Players Association have until Opening Day to change that. I doubt there will be fans allowed into Spring Training, but I don’t know that for sure. The thing is: you never know what you might see at Camelback Ranch… sometimes an old lefthander might be playing catch…
DODGERS ANNOUNCE 2021 MINOR LEAGUE COACHING STAFFS
LOS ANGELES – The Los Angeles Dodgers announced their Minor League coaching staffs for the 2021 season with Travis Barbary (Oklahoma City), Scott Hennessey (Tulsa), Austin Chubb (Great Lakes), John Shoemaker (Rancho Cucamonga), Danny Dorn (AZL Dodgers), Jair Fernandez and Cordell Hipolito (DSL Dodgers) all returning to lead their respective clubs. In 2019, the Dodgers bolstered one of the best systems in the Major Leagues, recording a .556 winning percentage (488-390)…
WHEN FAVORITES LEAVE
Last week, Joc Pederson left the Dodgers as a free agent to join the Chicago Cubs, and prior to that, Kike’ Hernandez signed with the Red Sox. Both were very popular with Dodger fans. Kike’, the Banana Man to many, and a versatile player, had enthralled fans with his energy, and his sometimes flair for the dramatic. His best day as a Dodger was in game 5 of the 2017…
And Yet Another Trevor Bauer Post
Welcome to Super Bowl Sunday. I am a much bigger fan of college football, and since my Packers are out of it, the lure of the Super Bowl does not hold a huge interest for me. I will undoubtedly watch the game, and I have a lot of family in KC so I will have some allegiance to them. I am not against Tom Brady as much as many I…
