My definition of “Mixed Emotions” is “seeing your mother-in-law drive over a cliff in your new Rolls Royce.” If you had told me a couple of months ago that the Dodgers would spend $1.1 BILLION DOLLARS on two players this Winter, I would have said that you were out of your rabbit-ass mind! Furthermore, if I would have said that it makes perfect sense, I would have volunteered to enter…
If Shohei Ohtani signs with the Dodgers, they absolutely, positively have to go ALL IN! Gut the farm, mortgage the future – it’s Win Now! That’s the Mantra! The infield is set, as well as the starting catcher. gut the farm – get Cease and Robert, Jr. from the White Sox. How about Vargas, Busch, Rushing, Sheehan, Outman, and Frasso? That would get it done! The Yankees just went all…
At first blush, those are three things that are not the same… and as you suspect, they are not. Let’s talk about them one at a time. However, before I go there, let’s discuss what team is the best-run franchise in baseball, courtesy of Ken Rosenthal. You already know the answer. Even the morons who blast Roberts and Friedman know better… Shohei Ohtani While he is a great player, he…
I swear that some of the incoherent ramblings I read from some Dodger fans should be prefaced with “Here’s Johnny!” First, we hear that the Dodgers need more pitching – of course, even Ray Charles can see that! Fans get excited when they hear that the Dodgers might be in on Corbin Burnes or Dylan Cease, but some are not excited about Burnes because he will be a free agent…
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 the playoffs… had the Angels made it there. Shohei Ohtani is a generational talent, but…
OK, whether Chris Getz (President and GM or the Chicago White Sox) knows it or not, they need to rebuild… and I think they will come to that conclusion. They lost 100 games last year, and they need to do it for a couple of more years so as to bank some more top talent. The Dodgers have plenty of young talent to trade, and I think the Dodgers would…
Right about now… not the same as last season; Dodger fans are foaming at the mouth for the Dodgers to sign a slew of starting pitchers. They routinely talk like Andrew Freidman, and the front office is devoid of any common sense. They would be happy if the Dodgers signed Aaron Nola, Blake Snell, Jordan Montgomery, Sonny Gray, Eduardo Rodriguez, Marcus Stroman, Lucas Giolito, Michael Wacha, Seth Lugo, Yoshinobu Yamamoto,…
