Mark Timmons, longtime blogger about Dodger Baseball and totally unauthorized spokesman for the Los Angeles Dodgers, states that, beginning immediately, the Los Angeles Dodgers will compete in the newly formed “Little Sisters of the Poor Slowpitch Softball League” where they are expected to dominate some second-tier teams. Included in this softball league will be the Texas School for the Blind and Little Sisters of the Poor Nursing Home, who are both expected to dominate the aging, dementia- and injury-riddled Dodgers. The Dodgers hope to compete within three to four years. This was the first option for the Dodgers, who also seriously considered joining the Beverly Hills Wheelchair and Camel League.

Disagree, not disagreeable
Is that Kendall George the same guy who didn’t reach his full potential at the beginning of his career? I mean, I read that he was a flop at the start. I ask because I just read that he reached 100 SB this season, and I don’t know if that news is true.

I am not preaching Gloom and Doom.
They just haven’t taken it seriously yet. Watch and Learn!
Perhaps a ‘mistake’ for keeping Conforto all season, but when a deal doesn’t work out I don’t think you could call it a mistake. Just like Heyward or JD Martinez they could have been busts as well. However sometimes where these things come back to bite us is when AF resigns guys after 1 good year. Like Teo, Taylor, Heyward, and maybe Kike and Edman this time. Sure injuries a factor, but for whatever reason didn’t work out. Teo and Taylor extra bad because of multi year deals.
i know rojas is getting up there in age, but he’s probably the dodgers most consistent hitter right now. Injuries have taken their toll on a 100+ win team. going back to mookie at the start of the season. Max hasn’t been able to catch a break. Freddie,TeoEdman,Kim. it’s been hard for the team to overcome this. And the biggest disappointment of all, Conforto. Can’t blame AF. i really thought he was a great sign, it’s one of the worst free agent signings in dodger history. i just wish AF had cut ties earlier and brought in another outfielder. Move on! No team in the national league is unbeatable. so there’s no reason to not believe the dodgers can’t get back to the world series. after all, they play better against the good teams than they do against the bottom dwellers! Hopefully they can get at least 2 of 3 this weekend. … it’s kinda crazy how ex dodger castoffs pitch so well against the dodgers! …. Would love to have seen ohtani come up with the bases loaded last night. Can’t really fault Doc. Down 5 in the Eighth, does anyone out there think the dodgers would score 5 runs? i know i didn’t! hell i’m impressed they even scored!
Mark –
Thanks for the early mornong laugh! Dodgers are difficult to watch these days but being a fan since 1958 I am considering all explanations for the current state of affairs. The one I have glommed onto recently is that this is really a new AF strategy. The approach is to “go into a tailspin August through early-September” so that you can kick ass the last 20+ games to get the team ready for the playoffs!” What do you think….
Not ideal
I still want to know what that third out in the 9th pinch hit decision was that Doc made.
PPP (piss poor performance) by both the Dodgers and Puds could leave only the NL West winner in the playoffs. Scary but possible. This team is losing confidence. Starting pitching has kept them in almost every game but the offense has not driven in runs. Can Doc fire them up? Not sure. Opinions?
09/04/25 Los Angeles Dodgers sent 3B Max Muncy on a rehab assignment to Oklahoma City Comets.
09/03/25 Los Angeles Dodgers sent LHP Alex Vesia on a rehab assignment to Oklahoma City Comets.
09/02/25 Los Angeles Dodgers sent RHP Kyle Hurt on a rehab assignment to Oklahoma City Comets.
Sad state of affairs with the Dodgers these days and their $400 million payroll. Can things get any worse?
