How to Fix the Plethora of TJ Surgeries

It seems like every other day, someone is blowing out their UCL and needing Tommy John Surgery. The Dodgers have had their share – Buehler, Gonsolin, May, Frasso, et al. What can be done to stop this? Can anything be done to stop this? I have been listening to all of the talk…

Correcting Some Misconceptions

Many Dodger fans jump to conclusions and assume something is true without knowing the underlying facts. They get a certain narrative in their mind, decide what they want to believe, and make statements as if they were fact. Frequently, they try to accuse me of something based on…

Rule 5 Day

Today is when the 40-man roster must be set. It is also the deadline for Free Agents to accept or reject the qualifying offers. Players with the requisite service time will be exposed to the Rule 5 Draft if not protected. There are five open roster spots: I would protect: Hunter…

He's Not Superman!

No one has ever seen a 30-year-old Shoehei Ohtani play because Shohei will not be 30 years old until July 5th, 2024. However, we did see a 29-year-old Ohtani play, and we saw him tear his UCL and then go on the IL with an oblique strain, which would have likely kept him out of…

Just Move Mookie to SS Already!

For the record, it was discussed yesterday whether Clayton Kershaw was a #1, #2, or #3. I think the answer is d. Neither – Clayton is a #2.5. There. That’s my final statement on it. How many aces have 33 starts anymore? Only 31 pitchers in MLB had more than 31 starts last…

Wet Birds Don't Fly at Night

This saying has a very deep metaphysical meaning which, over the years, many of the ancient mystics sought to understand and explain in terms that the common man could comprehend; however, the real meaning has been obfuscated until recently during the cultural revolution when I…

Mark was Right!

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…
