Mark was right! He called it early. We didn’t have to do anything at the trade deadline. Well, he’s part right. There are no major holes to fill on this roster, we actually had to create holes so we would have open spots for a couple of players that are coming off the 60-day IL, so we did do something. The net result was restocking the farm while opening roster…
Actually, it’s past time. I am so done with Craig Kimbrel! Three letters: DFA! It’s over, done; stick a fork in him! So, who’s the closer? Let’s run down the list: Evan Phillips – Tell me he can’t. He has the stuff, and while he has never done it, he looks cold-blooded and calm in these situations. I think he can do it, but can the Dodgers depend upon him…
I hate to say I told you so, but I told you I did not think Clayton Kershaw would pitch well last night. After the game was over Clayton said: “I’m not going to overthink it. “I just sucked today. I haven’t been that bad in a long time.” What was first? The chicken or the egg? Kershaw pitched poorly and it was in Coors Field. No need to overthink…
Let’s get right to it. THE GOOD Andrew Heaney – In his return from the IL, he took up where he left off with 5 IP, 5 H, 1 ER, 1 BB, 7 K’s. That was a very encouraging performance. The Bazooka – He did allow a hit, but closed out his inning with 2 Ks. Yency Almonte – He just does whatever is asked. Will Smith – He is…
No two people are the same. We all have opinions, proclivities, and prejudices. We are biased, trained, taught, and simple… while complicated. We are human. We are Dodger Fans. I have been through the bad times and the good times. I have had my heart broken many times. I have seen defeat snatched from the jaws of victory! I have seen the Dodgers lose when they should have won, but…
The Oklahoma City Dodgers’ 4A Affiliate, the Los Angeles Dodgers, continued to be unable to get a clutch hit, even on a night when Cody Bellinger got two hits, including a 2-Run HR, again leading us to wonder for the 37th time this year “Is Cody Getting his MojoBack?” I would rather not say! The Dodgers combined to strand 26 runners on base on a night when the hitting was…
The Dodger’s former Ace, Walker Buehler, had arthroscopic surgery yesterday to remove a bone spur. They say that does not accept his return timetable. A bone spur could not have caused any of his arm issues either… right? Of course not. It’s just his arm! There is really no other way to spin this… but Tony Gonsolin is now the Dodger’s Ace. I mean, if he isn’t, who is? He…
“Andrew Friedman should have signed….” “What didn’t Dave Roberts pinch hit for…” “Something is wrong with Walker Buehler…” “May Muncy has lost all confidence…” “They should have traded for…” “Why did they not play Rios after his big night? Yes, we are fans and we second-guess just about everything, even things we know nothing about. We may have some information, but not all the information and we simply don’t know…
Suddenly, the Giants are four games behind the Dodgers, who are tied with the Yankees for the best record in baseball. They both have a .720 winning percentage, but the Dodgers lead all of baseball in runs scored per game with 5.08. To me, that is an amazing statistic in light of the fact that most Dodger players are not hitting. Look at their batting averages. Freddie Freeman is hitting…
According to numerous MLB sources who are all pretty credible, the Dodgers wanted to re-sign Kenley Janson. However, some fans want to believe otherwise. I will be the first to tell you that every report from an “insider” is suspect and not to be taken to the bank, but when I hear from Kenley Jansen that the Dodgers did want to re-sign him, then I take that as gospel. You…
