Well, we finally got the server back to normal and this is a test post. Always Compete has an excellent post concerning tomorrow’s Amateur Draft. He’s on vacation – I can’t say where he is – I’m sworn to secrecy, but if he doesn’t post the article in the next couple of hours, I will. I just can’t say where he is and I won’t even offer a clue… On…
As usual, we fans probably don’t have a clue what the Dodgers are up to. Just because we hear rumors from the media, doesn’t make them true. Rumors are just that, and if you expect a straight answer from FAZ about who they are interested in, you are likely smoking something that may be illegal in certain states. I have targeted Marcell Ozuna as a player I want, while we…
If there ever was any doubt, Chris Taylor erased it yesterday by doing the kind of thing that legends do: Hitting a Grand Slam in the 9th inning, with your team down two runs, to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat! Of course, it was a team effort to come back from a four run deficit – Puig had two hits, but almost everyone (except Grandal) contributed. Chris Taylor…
If that’s true, then they must dig Yasmani Grandal and Cody Bellinger, who supplied all the offense the Dodgers needed to win. I had the game on my i-phone as we were driving home from a graduation dinner with the family. My youngest son graduated last night and then the celebration dinner. I was following Clayton’s progress on Gameday but could not get the game in the restaurant. So,…
Complaints have been registered that the Dodgers have too many starters. That’s like saying you have too much sushi, too much money or too much beer. It simply does not compute. I don’t think that is even possible. The Dodgers used something like fifteen starters last year so it was assumed by many they would do about the same thing this year. That also doesn’t seem likely. I suppose it…
The sad Dodgers lost last night (what a bunch of bums), so we will just focus on a question I am sure everyone has been sitting around wondering: What is Edwin Rios, really? Well, in case you have forgotten, Edwin Rios was the 2016 Dodgers Minor League Player of the year, finishing ahead of Cody Bellinger, Willie Calhoun and Alex Verdugo. That’s what he did, but who is he? Edwin…
Well, here the Dodgers are, back in first place with about 10 players on the DL! As one national commentator said “The Dodgers have two rosters of players – they are that deep.” The FAZ-bashers continue to show their utter lack of comprehension as they try to nitpick roster moves (Olivera, Kemp, Schebler, Peraza, Cotton, Montas, Gordon, et al). My simple advice to them is “Never miss a good opportunity…
“Kike Hernandez is a huge waste of a roster spot.” “FAZ has no idea how to build a roster.” “I have no idea why they would sign Chase Utley – he’s finished.” “DFA Hatcher and Baez.” “Chris Taylor is organizational depth. That’s all.” “Rich Hill has never been anything reliable.” “Brandon McCarthy is a waste of a roster space.” “Alex Wood? He’s horrible! “ “Julio Urias is over-rated.” “The league…
There’s this little race here in Indy today that I am going to, so you won’t hear much from me. By the way, even if you don’t like racing, it should be on your “bucket list.” It has to be one of the Ten Wonders of the World. I am not a big race fan – can’t tell you who is in the points lead or any of that, but on…
Says who? Name a Number 2 better than Clayton Kershaw! He has a 7-2 record and a 2.01 ERA and then of course our #1, Alex Wood is 6-0 with a 1.69 ERA and he has pitched like 26 straight scoreless innings. There’s not a better duo in baseball. Of course, the Dodgers are #1 in all of baseball in tear ERA and WHIP. … and then Baez and Hatcher…
