As I have mentioned, I need to reduce my involvement with LADT. Several of you have volunteered to write and some of you already write. The problem that I have is that if you send me a written post with some photos, it may take up to an hour for me to post it… and the thing is, it takes me about an hour to do a post myself, so that really does not help.

Jeff Dominique learned how to use Word Press and I would be glad to hold a Zoom Meeting to teach three or four of you how to use it as well. It’s not difficult! I think that in about a half-hour, I can show you what you need to know. You would just need to communicate with the group who was going to post and when.

I recommend a spell-check program, like Grammarly (which is free)… to minimize typos and structure issues. Let me know your thoughts. I can take a few minutes out of the day, but I can’t keep taking an hour… except on occasion.

Ideas?

    Phillip Glass.

    What do people think of him?

    Mets search for a new GM is getting no where. Latest to turn down the job is Dodger exec, Jeff Kingston. They have been given permission to interview Raquel Ferreiria of the Red Sox. Zack Scott has been released from his acting GM role and is no longer part of the team. He had been on administrative leave since getting a DWI in September. Mets are a mess.

    Mariners declined Kyle Seager’s option. Dodgers not going to pick up Joe Kelly’s option. Melvin hiring in San Diego now official. Surprised the A’s, who had picked up his option months’ ago did not seek any compensation from the Pads for him leaving. Hyers notified the Sox he is not returning. Rangers hire Ecker away from the Giants to be their bench coach.

    Just saw the Rams picked up Von Miller …… interesting ……

    I wonder if the Dodgers would consider bringing back hitting coach Tim Hyers.

    Also talked to a guy who saw Gore and Miller pitch and said that Miller is a lot better thanGore.

    I have talked to some knowledgeable baseball people who have confirmed my suspicions that Carson Taylor could be a very good MLB Catcher really soon… like by at least 2023… or sooner. He is a switch-hitter which adds all the more to his value. He is 6′ 2″ and about 210, but since he is just 22, he could add 20 pounds pretty easily. He could take Barnes’s place in 2023.

    Maybe someone can update us on the AFL.

  9. BlutoNovember 1, 2021

    Once again, well done Mark.

    Hi Mark,

    I’m willing to help out in any way possible in order to keep this site going. You got my email. Send me a link to that zoom meeting if you want to. Cheers.

    More than willing. I was able to post on the Word Press dashboard, but when I had to change my password and sign in, I no longer could get back on. I think what I needed was the ok from the site administrator. Used to be Bearone48, now is the Oldbear handle. But send me an email and we can set up a metting. I can see things, but there is no mic on my end, so I cannot respond.

Nothing Wrong With Back of the Rotation SP for LAD

I said it when Roki Sasaki was struggling…If not Roki, who? He finally started to pitch with more confidence and he put together a string of positive starts. Yes, there were those who forgot about his previous four excellent starts and instead focused on his CWS start. He is a…

Who Bats Where?

A good percentage of comments on this blog relate to “who bats where” in the batting order. “Shohei should bat cleanup.” “ Freddie should be the number three hitter.” “No, Freddie should hit second.” “Max Muncy should hit cleanup.” “Mookie should hit 9th.” … and on and on… Where…

Happy, Hopeful, Blessed, and Thankful

I grew up in Ohio and lived there until 1976, when I was 23 years old. I have been in Indiana for 50 years, so I consider myself a Hoosier. Now, I actually live 45 minutes from Bloomington, where the IU Hoosiers play. However, since I was nine years old, I have been a Dodger…

Are You True Blue?

What do I mean by true blue? Well, over the years I have seen my share of bandwagon and fair-weather fans. True blue fans stick with the team no matter what. Their allegiance to the team never waivers. Not when a favorite is traded or lost to free agency, not when the team…
