Well, we finally got the server back to normal and this is a test post.  Always Compete has an excellent post concerning tomorrow’s Amateur Draft. He’s on vacation – I can’t say where he is – I’m sworn to secrecy, but if he doesn’t post the article in the next couple of hours, I will.

I just can’t say where he is and I won’t even offer a clue…

On Today’s Game

  • WOW! Chicks dig the long ball and Bellinger and Seager are popular, but Kike was the unsung hero with an incredible at bat.
  • The Dodgers are still #1 in team ERA.  Yes, the starting pitching is not where many want it, but who cares?  They are winning and it’s getting better.  Last year, the Cubs pitching staff was the ideal of every Dodger fan.  This year, they are 13th and giving up a run more a game.  Their starting staff is a shambles.  Our depth makes us #1.
  • Before the season started, I predicted that Chase Utley would be a key player for the Dodgers.  Then I lost faith and said to cut him.  Look at him now.  He is  a factor and I guess you should trust your gut… unless you’ve got a bad gut!
  • Now, the team needs to get Forsythe going.  Right about now, it looks like the Dodgers and the Rays both swindled each other.  Forsythe is hitting a buck ninety and De Leon has a 10.80 ERA.
  • Is A-Gon DL bound?

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…
