Kershaw Grinds LAD to Victory in Game 5

October 26, 2020

What a difference a night makes.  After last night’s game I commented that the Dodgers need to come out swinging in the 1st against Glasnow.  Mookie Betts leads off with an 8 pitch double followed by a run-scoring Corey Seager single, two wild pitches and Seager gets to third.  JT strikes out, Muncy walks, Smith K’s and Belli comes up and gets an infield single to score Seager.  After a…

Dodgers Relievers Blow Another WS Game

October 25, 2020

The Rays are in the WS for a reason.  They are good and they never quit.  Let me get the negative out of the way.  I have been a Dave Roberts supporter throughout the postseason, but I have also said that there is no way that I would bring Pedro Baez in with runners on base.  You want to make a change from Treinen?  Okay, that was at least an…

But I also know that there are NO GUARANTEES. The Darvish and Machado trades did not result in a WS championship, and they were good trades for the Dodgers. If the Dodgers got both Felipe…

Super Bowl LIII

February 3, 2019

Still waiting on the next big FA to drop, or next big trade to occur.  Only 1 of the top 5 free agents have signed, and really very few actual trades this winter.  If not for the M’s and Jerry Dipoto making five or six trades involving significant ML players, or the Reds acquiring back of the rotation pitchers, there really has not been a lot of player movement. ML…
