In late November after the Dodgers won the World Series, Dodger’s President, Andrew Friedman said: “Let’s be pigs. Let’s do everything we can to go out next year and do it again.” Those were plain and very clear words. Andrew Friedman simply said that he wanted to win again in 2021 and he exhorted everyone in the Dodger’s organization to do everything they could to do it again! End of…
The Dodgers have some Junkyard Dogs, like CT3, Mad Max, Cody, Corey, Barnsie, even Mookie! Justin Turner is one too. I am not sure that pitchers can qualify for the Junkyard Dog Club, but position players can. Are there any other Junkyard Dogs who can step up?
What I do know is that while I cannot individually predict what each pitcher will do, I feel very confident that “collectively” this bullpen can be great. There is a lot here to like, but that’s my opinion. Let’s see if I can rub your noses in the Facts come October!
It’s quite possible that a monkey throwing darts at random reliever names may outperform the deepest pocket GM’s in the game when it comes to picking relievers.
Even if the Dodgers do not sign Justin Turner, they are the class of the NL – It’s just that the gap has lessened! Position-by-position and pitcher-by-pitcher, it is my opinion that the Padres are not the equal of the Dodgers, but they are better than they were last season. The keyword right about now is: DON’T PANIC!
The Los Angeles Dodgers agreed to terms with 22 international players, including top international prospects Wilman Diaz, Jesus Galiz, and Rayne Doncon. In total, the Dodgers signed 12 pitchers, three catchers, four infielders, and three outfielders. Diaz, 17, is the No. 3 rated international prospect by MLB.com. The Maracay, Venezuela native is the top teenager of the 2020-2021 class and the top shortstop according to MLB.com. The athletic and offensively…
Have you ever played the game “Would You Rather?” That is where you are given two choices, neither of which are particularly pleasant. Here’s a sampling: Would you rather lose the ability to read or lose the ability to speak? Would you rather have a golden voice or a silver tongue? Would you rather be covered in fur or covered in scales? Would you rather be in jail for a…
Right about now, as COVID-19 rages across the country, MLB is making plans for a 162 game season. How many of those games will be played in empty stadiums remains to be seen, but It might be less than we think. The Indiana Pacers will begin allowing fans into Bankers Life Fieldhouse on January 19th. Sales will be limited to 1,000 tickets per game through Jan. 25 and gradually increase….
Tommy Lasorda always said that if he cut his hand it would bleed Dodger Blue and he often talked about going to see The Big Dodger in the Sky when he died. Well, yesterday he arrived at the pearly gates and immediately took over as the manager for Heaven’s Dodgers. Here was his first lineup card: Jackie Robinson 2B Pee Wee Reese SS Duke Snyder CF Roy Campanella C Gil…
It’s really simple: If Brandon Morrow is healthy, he is very, very good! When he’s not healthy, he is not a factor. He has had elbow, calf and shoulder injuries the past two years and is allegedly healthy now. He will be 37 in July and this is likely his last dance.
