… which is one of my favorite movies along with The Shawshank Redemption…. but I digress. Now, back to our regularly scheduled programming: Is Starting Pitching Really Overvalued? I’ll answer that question with one word: HELL YES! When Jim Bowden penned a blog on ESPN Insider this week about starting pitching being overvalued, it has created a firestorm among Dodger fans that is extremely polarizing. In particular, a quote by…
Those junkyard dogs were nowhere to be found yesterday! The Dodgers front office under Andrew Friedman has been linked to numerous players over the time he has been in charge. Cole Hamels, David Price, Aroldis Chapman, Ryan Braun and others have all allegedly been the subject of trade talks with FAZ, but no one pulled the trigger, although Chapman almost happened. If we are to believe the Fish Hacks, Ryan Braun…
The Dodgers shut out the Cubs on World Series Ring Night! SWEET!!!! I think the team decided they had seen too much partying by the Cubs at their expense. This team wants rings of their own and knows they have to take it and they took it last night. Yeah, they are Junkyard Dogs. If Chase Utley just hits .200 he is worth it. Did you see him score from 1st…

I thought it might be time to play a little Ketchup… ‘er catch up! I’ve said it before and I will say it again: Make no mistake about it, Julio Urias is the real deal. The Dodgers will continue to use him sparingly at OKC and likely call him up in early May – they are neither confirm nor deny that, but I am pretty sure that’s what will happen….
It was an ugly game, with 5 total errors by the teams, the Cubs were ahead 2-0, but the Dodgers battled back and tied the game. The Cubs starting pitching was stellar – their relief pitching was good. The Dodger’s starting pitching was good, but the relief pitching was stellar… until a former Giant took the mound and allowed a runner to get to third base. The Dodger’s $84 million…
Tonight’s Lineup Providing there is actually a game… I turned down free Box Seats Tickets 3 rows from the field tonight (1B side) from a friend because Chicago in April is the coldest and rainiest place on earth. It’s as cold as SF Bay in December. Bone Chilling. I think it will be a rainout! Pos Dodgers Pos Cubs 2B Forsythe LF Schwarber (L) SS Seager (L) 3B Bryant 3B…
Before I get into the game, it’s good to hear that Pedro Guerrero is improving. The Dodgers struggled against lefthanders the first two games of the season and I have never heard such wailing and gnashing of teeth. I told you yo be patient, that this is baseball with peaks and valleys and two games meant nothing. It’s a two-way street. The Dodgers broke out against a lefthander yesterday, and…

It is somewhat stunning to see Clayton Kershaw serve up three long balls in a month, let alone one game! Like I said yesterday – peaks and valleys! Yesterday we were on pace to win 97 games. Today we are on pace for .500. The Rockies are a juggernaut… running away with the division. Alas, all is lost! Now back to reality. It was pretty amazing that it took Clayton…
