I am not sure why, but it seems like this season the Dodgers have to do things the Hard Way. Now, that they are down 2-0 they are going to need to win 2-3 games in a row, and in typical Dodger fan fashion, the bitching and blaming has begun! You complain about Roberts taking Scherzer out of the game, even though it was obvious he had no fastball because…
This first item falls under the category of “that Ship Has Sailed.” I had always predicted big things for Kike Hernandez. In fact I likened him to JD Martines. I had hoped that Andrew Friedman would keep him, but ultimately Kike wanted to start, and Boston gave him that opportunity. He racked up 585 AB’s for Boston and hit 20 HR while OPS’ing .786 with a .250 BA and a…
Dave Roberts said that Clayton Kershaw does not need Tommy John Surgery and that Max Muncy does not need surgery. Let me translate the “DaveSpeak:” (1) Clayton is weighing whether he will retire or not, so he will not need TJ at this time; and (2) We will have to wait a few days on a new MRI to see if Max Muncy needs surgery, which he probably will and…
AKA/The Sex Blog! I have a few questions: Is it legal for a man and a woman to have sex if they are not married? Is it legal for a man and a woman to have sex if they are married? Is it legal for a man and a man to have sex if they are not married? Is it legal for a man and a man to have sex…
Since 2009, the Los Angeles Dodgers have been Clayton Kershaw’s team. Excluding his rookie year of 2008, Clayton has NEVER had an ERA over 3.00 but once (3.03). His career ERA is 2.47. Until Monday, he had not pitched since early July this year due to injury, but this year his ERA is 3.33. Those are pretty good stats, maybe even worthy of being a #2 starter on most teams….
That is not the law firm defending Trevor Bauer, but it is the four most scrutinized members of the LAD organization. I started to respond to Mark’s post from yesterday, but I got called away for errands. It then got too long for a response, so I decided to make it my own post. I am writing this before Game 1 with NYM, so this could all go to H***…
I may not always be the “sharpest knife in the drawer” but I tend to stay with things until I figure them out and I think I have finally figured out why so many fans have an irrational hatred of Dave Roberts. It took me a while to identfy it and maybe you have not yet identified it either. However, once you understand what I am about to say, I…
There are a lot of new commenters here since I first started writing for LADT in 2017, and I guess many do not know who I am. I will admit that this post is really out of my comfort zone. But I have been advised to push the comfort zone for better mental health. The other day, Mark intimated that I may have more contacts now than him. I have…
With Mark on the 10-day inactive list to attend to family business in Las Vegas (ever notice how these trips are never to Des Moines, Iowa or Wichita, Kansas?), Jeff (AC) was desperate for some assistance on the LADT writers roster. With his options limited, he had to resort to adding someone from the alternate training site, and had no choice but to call on me, the Zack Reks/Edwin Uceta…
Before I answer with my position, let me do my best to lay out some of the factors assuredly being discussed in the Dodger “war rooms”. Max Scherzer is a HOF pitcher who can still bring it at 37. He would be a front of the rotation pitcher even with the Dodgers. This year he is 7-4 with a 2.83 ERA and an exceptional WHIP of 0.886 in 105 IP. …
