I ordered this World Series Championship Wall Hanging several weeks ago and then I had to get it framed. Notice the subtile Blue Effects on the wood frame? I hung it in a place I was saving it for beside my desk. Well, the Dodgers are allegedly still in the bidding for Juan Soto and have made an offer of at least $600 Million for him! They have signed another…
I woke up this morning to an article in my inbox about “The Golden At Bat” which is this: “A manager can use one Golden At-Bat per game to slot their preferred batter into the order for a single at-bat. I’m in the on-deck circle with the bases loaded, and Juan Soto is on the bench. So you simply send Soto to the plate instead of me.“ The Athletic goes…
Wyatt Crowell was born on October 13, 2001, in Cumming, Georgia… AN AREA I HAPEN TO LOVE A LOT. His love for baseball began at age five, and he’s been hooked ever since. His deceptive delivery is one of his most captivating features, refined through years of practice. With a five-pitch arsenal—including a four-seam fastball, sinker, changeup, and two sliders—Crowell keeps hitters guessing. His shorter slider, often thrown early in…
I am going to be profileing Dodger Prospects and there may be 35 to 40 as I count them down. I am starting with Luke Fox. Luke Fox, a 6’2″ left-hander out of Duke, is a player whose journey has been anything but ordinary. A dynamic talent before Tommy John surgery derailed his 2023 season, Fox was seen as a potential top-10 round pick in the 2023 MLB Draft. Yet,…
In getting Blake Snell, the Dodgers removed one of the main free agents from the board, but there are still plenty of others to consider. Some possibilities are longshots and others are more likely. Let’s consider a few: Roki Sasaki: Some people say that the Padres are the favorites. I still believe the Dodgers make the most sense as Yu Darvish is at the end of his career while Yamamoto…
We had our Thanksgiving Dinner last night in order to accomodate some schedule conflicts. We had about 35 members of our family here: inlaws, outlaws, no laws, etc. Today, we have to drop my wife’s neice and her husband off at the airport at 11:00 AM and then drive two hours to my daughters new house in Ft. Wayne to have Thanksgiving Dinner with her family. My wife and her…
Scott Borass was Blake Snells agent, so we can no longer say that the Dodgers won’t do buisness with Borass, I also believe Juan Soto will be willing to defer money… and that he will soon be a Dodger. Consider this: Since 2019, only Freddie Freeman, Mookie Betts and Marcus Simien have scored more runs that Juan Soto and only Aaron Judge has more WAR. The thing is: all of…
Why haven’t the Dodgers just signed Teoscar Hernandez, Walker Buehler, Willy Adames, Juan Soto, Max Fried, or Matt Snell? I mean… not all of them… but maybe one… or three? Every year, the free agent market is different. This year, several teams are really in on Juan Soto, namely the Mets, Yankees, Phillies, Dodgers, Jays and allegededly a “mystery team.” I did not mention Roki Sasaki because he has not…
In 1963, Sandy Koufax won his first Cy Young Award. In 1964, he finished 3rd in the Cy Young Award, and then in 1965 and 1966, he won the Cy Young Award again, which meant he won the Cy Young Award three out of four years. Dean Chance may have deserved to win, but Sandy was a close 3rd in the voting. Koufax was 19-5 with a 1.74 ERA, 223…
