Seven more wins, and the Dodgers win the NL Title. Then, with Eleven Total Post-Season Wins, they will win it all. The World Series! The only question is: Will the Baseball Gods allow it? See, that’s what it all boils down to. The Dodgers outspent everyone in the past offseason, and the Baseball Gods punished them for it by making sure that they had the most pitchers with their arms…
Reggie Jackson had the moniker of “Mr. October,” probably due to some really big World Series at-bats, especially one or two against the Los Angeles Dodgers. But I won’t go there! All in all, Reggie Jackson was in 17 playoff series and hit .278 with a .358 OB% to go with a .885 OPS. He also hit 18 home runs. Kike Hernandez has also played in 17 playoff series and…
Hopefully, Mookie will make an impact in the playoffs but he has been a non-factor in this series as he took the collar again last night. Shohei Ohtani, whom many fans have actually (delusionally) ragged on, showed up, stepped up and shut the Padres up! There are actually morons who believe Mookie should hit leadoff, even though Freddie Freeman is not a fan of having a runner distract him. What…
Today’s post is short and sweet. I have a lot going on, so I will make it brief: The Dodgers were bounced from the playoffs last year because two of their former MVPs forgot how to hit. They choked. I can’t sugarcoat it. That’s what happened. In one round of the playoffs last year, Mookie was 0-12 (.000). In 2022 when the Padres bounced them from the playoffs, Mookie was…
The pitching staff got a much-needed day off yesterday, and now the Dodgers will face King, Cease, and Musgrove as the Padres are looking to sweep the Dodgers and tie them for first place in the NL West. The Dodgers just announced that it will be Knack, Flaherty, and Buehler who will start, but this is all very, very interesting. This is what it all comes down to, and this…
Every team that has a chance at the playoffs is sucking air! It’s a long season, and we are down to “crunch time.” I am just going to continue to root for the Dodgers and warn the morons to stay away from here. If you disagree… well, you are a dumbass and a moron! I happen to have an aversion to morons and dumbasses! Just go away… you are not…
Los Angeles Dodgers Magic Numbers You can see the flashes with Walker Buehler, as he struck out 9 in 5.1 IP. He only walked one, but we did not see consistency. He has one more start to see if he can attain that. Tony Gonsolin went three innings for OKC last night, throwing 45 pitches. He did not allow any hits and walked just one while striking out six. His…
In 2024, the single-best player in the Grand Game of Baseball is Aaron Judge. That could change next year. Aaron Judge will be 33, and Shohei Ohtani will be 31. Judge is still in his prime… maybe he has a couple of years at the top of his game left. Ohtani has improved this year, and I expect even more next year. Ohtani has been slumping for a few games,…
It seems like every time the Dodgers score nine runs, they win, but the Marlins are evidently the best team in baseball because, after all, we have been told that the best team always wins! Right? Of course, I am being sarcastic! In baseball, unlike a game like basketball, the best team does not always win. In fact, in baseball, every team is going to win about 54 games and…
Shohei Ohtani Likely to Pitch in Playoffs Dodgers Nation has a video entitled “Why Tyler Glasnow Left Team Revealed.” Feel free to watch it, and maybe you will see. Doug McKain must get paid by the word because he could have used 3 minutes to say what it took him 58 minutes on the video. Don’t get me wrong, this must appeal to some people … maybe people who have…
