I started to think about this after Yoshida was signed by the Red Sox. The Dodgers were one of the first teams to dive into the Asian market. The Giants were the first team to ever have an Asian player when they signed Masanori Murakami back in 1964. He saw some success as a reliever. His last season with SF was 1965, It would be 30 years before another would…
I should say “some of you guys.”… and I am glad you are not. No disrespect intended. 😉 For the uninitiated, my wife runs the Finance and Operations part of US Water Systems and I run the Sales and Marketing. She is a very “hands-on” micromanager, while I am a “Big Picture” person. She is very good at her job, but it does create some issues. at times. There are…
These two things wrestle with one another constantly: Sight absorbs the visual elements of this world.Vision unveils a world that can exist. Sight reveals boundaries in our path.Vision sees beyond boundaries. Sight shows you what you do not have.Vision gives hope to weary eyes. Sight is present.Vision is future. Do you remember when the Dodgers were no-hit by the Cubs and I wrote: “Getting No-Hit May be the Best Thing That has Happened to This Team.” I guess…
It was reported that immediately after the game last night a San Francisco Giants fan tried to blow up a LA Dodger fan’s car. He was not successful, however, as he kept burning his lips on the exhaust pipe. Well, if you are only going to get 5 hits, make sure most of them are Home Runs and the Dodgers did that last night. The bullpen again came through BIG…
There is a lot to unpack about last night’s game, but to blame Dave Roberts for putting in his closer in the 10th inning is just plain silly. If Blake Treinen did his job, Kenley would not have been needed in the 10th. Before last night’s game, Kenley Jansen had given up 1 run and 2 hits in his 11 appearances in May! Even after last night’s debacle, his ERA…
The Dodgers Bullpen moved from #7 to #6 in bullpen ERA among all MLB teams. If this doesn’t impress you, then you are unimpressionable. A few short weeks ago, they were #18! Right now, their bullpen ERA is 3.53, but they started the climb when it was 4.47. In my opinion, the TOP BULLPENS have ERA’s below 3.00 and right about now, here are the TOP Bullpen ERA’s: #1 –…
The Dodgers have amazing depth in their system, both at the major league level and the minor league level, so it leaves me a little puzzled when I hear fans berate the depth or lack thereof. Of course, those who do not believe in the depth are also puzzled when I say the depth is “amazing.” What’s the disconnect? Why did the Dodgers bring in players like Albert Pujols and…
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…
