In case you have forgotten, here are the three starting pitchers rumored to be on the Dodger’s radar: Yu Darvish Last 14 Days: 7.36 ERA/1.148 WHIP Last 28 Days: 7.20 ERA/1.467 WHIP This year: 4.01 ERA/1.168 WHIP Sonny Gray Last 14 Days: 0.98 ERA/1.036 WHIP Last 28 Days: 1.39 ERA/0.835 WHIP This year: 3.43 ERA/1.175 WHIP Justin Verlander Last 14 Days: 3.26 ERA/1.034 WHIP Last 28 Days: 4.60 ERA/1.432 WHIP…
The Dodgers won about 68% of their games when Clayton Kershaw was on the roster and now have won 100% of their games without him. Why the heck do we need this guy anyway? It seems like it’s a new man or men every night… stepping up to do the job. Kenta Maeda did his job for 5 innings and the pen nailed it with Josh Ravin pitching 3…
I am an unabashed and unapologetic supporter of FAZ. They have built a tremendous team and know how to utilize a full 40 man roster to their advantage because they have the depth to do so. I also believe that a winning TEAM is greater than the sum of the individual players. Clayton Kershaw is special. There is no question of that. But he is one of 40, and I…
Really, it’s not gloom and doom! Last year, when Clayton had the herniated disk, everyone wondered what the team would do. It turns out that Kershaw’s injury galvanized them and others stepped up to fill the void. Not only did they not miss a beat, but they thrived. I, for one, do not expect the same thing to happen this year, although I believe there is no reason to panic….
Baseball America just released their Midseason Prospect Report and most notably, Cody Bellinger is no longer a prospect. Go figure – I guess hitting 25 HR for the Dodgers does bad things to your prospect status. This time, the Dodgers have only four prospects in the Top 100. Willie Calhoun jumped from #92 to #73 – That’s what happens when you hit those long-balls. Yadier Alvarez dropped from #26 to…
Moment-by-moment, memory-by-memory, the Dodgers have did it again! Dodger Broadcaster, Joe Davis Joe has made it a lot easier not to miss Vin – he’s not Vin, but in case you haven’t listened to the stiffs and homers other teams use, he is near the top of play-by-play baseball announcers. What a comeback and what a way to kill a snake! Now, back to the things at Hand! If the…
Gina Lollobrigida turned 90 yesterday. Described in her prime as “the most beautiful woman in the world”, Lollobrigida, will be receiving a long-overdue star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame next year. Hopefully, I am not the only one who remembers her. What does that have to do with Andrew Friedman? Absolutely nothing – except that Andrew Friedman and Company should be pretty dang beautiful in Dodger fans eyes right…
Think about that for a minute. There’s a lot we don’t know and some of it is stuff that we know we don’t know. We know the Cubs are struggling and need a couple of starting pitchers and maybe a veteran catcher, They have some pieces to trade, but they are also sitting on a really bad contract belonging to Jason Heyward. We know they have some good young prospects…
I keep reading that the Dodgers are in the hunt for a starting pitcher and frankly, I do not believe it. What I mean by that is I do not think they are “hell-bent-for-leather” to get another starter. That’s not saying that they won’t do it if the right situation presents itself, but they are simply not going to overpay to get another starter. I think AC said the same…
Thursday night’s game was the official half way point in the season. So I thought it was an opportune time to look at what is right, or what is wrong, what can be fixed, or what doesn’t need fixing. With Thursday night’s win, the Dodgers are 53-28. That is a projected win total of 106. They will win 94 even if they go 41-40 the rest of the way. The…
