Lert me start all this by saying that I was TOTALLY in favor of the Dee Gordon trade. I thought Austin Barnes and Kike Hernandez would be very good players. FAZ parlayed Andrew Heaney into Howie Kendrick who played a nice role for the Dodgers a couple of years ago and even though Chris Hatcher was a bust as a Dodger, I would still do that trade in a New…
Well hey little Hollywood You’re gone but you’re not forgot You got the cash but you’re credit no good You flip the script and you shot the plot I remember I remember when the neon use to burn, so bright and pink So bright and pink! Saturday night kind of pink! Yes, the Dodgers flipped the switch. In the past 6 games the Dodgers have won 5. They are averaging…
Logan Forsythe is picking a great time to peak! Check! The Dodgers 5, 6, 7 and 8 hitters did most of the damage last night. Check, Check, Check, Check! Yu Darvish looked to be the equal of Clayton Kershaw and with six games to play. Check! El Gasoline makes me nervous. Chhhhhheeeeecccccckkkkkk! Segedin might be making a case to be on the roster! Check! 100 wins! Check! The Dodgers are…
Once a Knucklehead… Always a Knucklehead We all saw Puig get thrown out trying to steal 2B at the end of Saturday Night’s game and Dave Roberts was unusually vocal in his displeasure. It turns out that the blown steal just may have been “the straw that broke the camel’s back.” I am not privy to what is going on, but I have heard whispers that the Dodgers locker room…
Dodger fans are never in a good mood after a loss to the Giants and it’s especially irritating when MadBum is the winning pitcher. I’m no different! $$#%& &?!^%$#@%$. There I feel better already, but then factor in that I am an Indianapolis Colts fan and my Sunday doesn’t look too fun. That, and it’s 92 degrees here today… at the end of September. A few things may have…
The Playoff Roster Remains in Flux If you have been living under a rock, then you may not know that the Dodgers clinched the NL West last night for the 5th straight year. They now have 98 wins and it’s a forgone conclusion that they will win more than 100 games. You have to love a guy like Rich Hill who is peaking just in time for the playoffs. I…
The real is answer is “We don’t know.” It’s likely that the Dodgers will win 100 games this year and the NL West (they will have to go 4-6 to do that). That’s an improvement of 8 games in a Division that is dramatically better, as at least one, and maybe two other teams will be NL Wild Cards. This version of the 2017 Dodgers has been both the hottest…
With just 10 games left until October 1st, when the season ends, the playoff roster remains a mystery. I think we all have a pretty good idea that certain players will be on the roster. Position Players Grandal Barnes Bellinger Forsythe Utley Seager Turner Hernandez Granderson Taylor Puig Ethier I left off Adrian Gonzalez because he is not anywhere near healthy. The Dodgers would love to have him on the…
So, the Dodgers took two out of three from the Nationals on their home field and you are upset that Stephen Strasburg, the hottest pitcher in baseball, beat them? Let’s not lose sight of the ultimate goal. You have to remember a few things: The Ultimate Goal is to win the World Series. Nothing much else matters. The front office, coaching staff and the manager are very smart. The Dodgers…
Bill Plunkett of the Orange County Register reported yesterday that Alex Verdugo showed up late to Nationals Park on Friday, after the team already had its daily hitters meeting. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said he didn’t learn of Verdugo’s tardiness until he was heading out to the field for the workout but would “address it” with him. General Manager Farhan Zaidi is on this trip with the team and said the same thing. “I…
