Blake Gailen and the AAAA Players

August 19, 2020

I am very partial to AAAA players.  I know they waaaaaay too often get labeled as dung heap players, dumpster diving players, etc.  Never mind that they competed at a higher level than almost everyone on these blog sites who love to denigrate their baseball abilities. I guess that is why I have never been down on guys like Tyler White.  I wrote about Max Muncy before most Dodger fans…

60 Game Sprint

July 16, 2020

My youngest son and I spent the day plumbing his house, the house he has had since he was 18 (he’s almost 21 now) and has totally gutted and rebuilt it. It was built in 1900…

It’s Time For Dodger Baseball

February 22, 2020

Time for Dodger Baseball. I like the sound of that as we begin Spring Training games today against the hated Giants.

Before I get into ST, I want to offer my response to the apparent skepticism about the Dodger pitching. Are there…
