I am here to tell you the team that will win the Super Bowl tonight. Listen up! I guarantee the accuracy of this prediction 100%! OK, here it is: THE TEAM THAT SCORES THE MOST POINTS WILL WIN! Or.. I could have said THE TEAM WITH THE MVP WILL WIN! How the hell do I know who will win? I don’t dislike either team, so I do not have a…
There are some baseball projection services such as ZIPS and STEAMER, and I always say that I will never look at or consider them again because they are never right, but come the Dog Days before Spring Training, I end up looking ZIPS and here are some of their 2025 Projections: Hitters: I think the ones that are Highlighted are probably pretty accurate. Pitchers OK, I am stupider after reading…
Let’s start with what we know: What we think we know: What we don’t know: What do we know that we don’t Know? You can build a superteam on paper, but then you have to play the game. Time and again, it has been proven that buying the best team and having the best team on paper often does not mean anything. That’s why they play the game, and that’s…
Everyone is considering what might happen by “Thinking in the Box.” A few of you are thinking “Outside of the Box,” but you all need to be aware that there is no box. Before I do so, I would like to have a moment of silence for Faye Vincent. He was a great man. He lived in Vero Beach, and I loved to talk to him as he sat in…
A friend took this photo at Fanfest today. It is being held in the Parking Lot, but the Concessions are open inside, so when he went inside, he snapped that picture. They are making significant progress and ready to work on the field soon. It looked like a fun time, but we did get a few juicy tidbits: The Dodgers arguably have the best starting rotation and bullpen in baseball….
This time last year, Baseball America ranked the Dodgers Prospects like this: Of those Top 30, 16 are gone, either graduating, being traded, waived, or just dropped out of the Top 30. That means that 16 new prospects are ranked in the Top 30. That’s a lot! Here are the 2025 Top 30 Dodger Prospects (the ones in BOLD are new) Don’t assume that the ones who just dropped out…
There are 1,458 innings in a 162-game baseball schedule. Of course, games will inevitably go into extra innings, so let’s call a season 1,500 innings (give or take). I have stated before that I would not be surprised if no Dodger starter pitched more than 125 innings. For argument’s sake, let’s say that is true. Let’s see how that looks: That’s just 750 Innings, half of what is needed in…
As you have probably heard, Eric Wedge was recently named manager of the Dodger’s AA Affiliate, the Tulsa Drillers. Scott Hennessey was formerly the manager of Tulsa, but he moved up to the OKC Comets last fall after former OKC Manager Travis Barbary decided that he would rather be a roving instructor. Being a roving instructor is a much lower-pressure job and much less demanding, although vitally important in player…
Padre Fans, Giant Fans, Ranger Fans, Braves Fans, Blue Jays Fans, and every other baseball fan on the face of this earth are bitching up a storm about how the Dodgers are “ruining baseball.” They would be fine if their team was doing what the Dodgers are doing, but no one else can do what the Dodgers are doing! Nobody but Nobody! The fact of the matter is that it’s…
On October 14, 2014, Andrew Friedman was hired by the Los Angeles Dodgers as President of Baseball Operations. Before coming to the Dodgers, he had previously served as Executive Vice President of Baseball Operations of the Tampa Bay Rays, where, despite overseeing one of the league’s lowest payrolls, he led the Rays to four postseason appearances, including two division titles (2008, 2010), in nine seasons from 2006-14. During Friedman’s time…
