It is both wonderful and sad to watch Clayton Kershaw pitch. It’s wonderful that the G.O.A.T. is still pitching, but it’s sad to see what he has become. Last night, he threw six pitches that were 90.0 – 9.5 MPH. If he had 2-3 more MPH on his fastball, his margin for error would be much greater, but there’s no more left in his tank. His UCL is likely hanging…
For various personal reasons, I have temporarily shut down this site, but I have not stopped being a Dodger fan, and I have not stopped watching Dodger Baseball and following the team. In the past couple of weeks, I have come to understand that half of the fans are dumber than hell… and the other 50% are worse than that… they are morons. What I am saying is that this…
I have stuff to do. I can’t serve two masters! Someday… we may meet again. You can contact me at mark@uswatersystems.com – Don’t be a pest!
I don’t have the time or patience for the bitching and moaning. Bye… Go here: https://ladodgerchronicles.com/ You will feel right at home. Have Fun!
It was July 12, 2024, and the Dodgers had just been swept by the Phillies. Everyone, and I mean damn near “EVERYONE” was saying that the Dodgers were crap, could NEVER win, WOULD NEVER WIN, etc., etc. So, as I am prone to EVERY YEAR because this is what you do EVERY YEAR (You go batshit crazy when the Dodgers look bad for a sustained period), you act like you…
Thirty-one years ago, after being incarcerated for seven years, five months, and five days, I was the defendant and lawyer in a five-day trial, and on August 31, 1994, I had my conviction overturned, and I walked out of a courtroom after the judge ordered a Sheriff to “Take that man’s handcuffs and shackles off.” I walked out and never looked back. I considered suing the government, but a wise…
I remember back in 2001 when Baseball America came out with their first Prospect Handbook. It was the only year when it was 5.5″ wide by 8.65″ high. Since then, they have been 5.75 wide by 9″ high… FYI. The Dodgers’ #1-ranked prospect in 2001 was RHP Ben Diggins, who never amounted to anything. Here are the rest of the ranked players: 2. Chin-Freg Chen 3. Hong-Chih Kuo 4. Jason…
That would be Tanner Scott. That’s all I have to say about it. The Dodgers drafted two players at #40 and #41, namely Zach Root and Charles Davalan. Here is the lowdown on Root: Root pitched as a reliable starter for two seasons for East Carolina in 2023 and 2024 before transferring to Arkansas for his 2025 junior year. The jump from American Athletic to Southeastern Conference competition didn’t phase…
The Pacific Coast League (PCL) has historically been one of the most challenging leagues for pitchers in professional baseball. Here’s why — and how it affects both pitchers and hitters: Why the PCL is Tough on Pitchers: Effects on ERA & Pitching Evaluation: How It Affects Hitters: The Dodgers no longer own the OKC Comets, and I believe that the advantages of being in OKC (closer to LA in case…
