When the Dodgers went 1-2 in Colorado, all of the morons like Bill Plaschke and a host of bloggers wrote about “What we have learned about the Dodgers ” and a lot of other drivel. We heard that they had pitching problems and that they were “overhyped.” The only thing they really…

There is no other way to say it, but to just say that Bobby Miller needs to be… has to be in the Dodgers rotation THIS year. I know that Andrew Friedman is committed to Andrew Heaney and that Bobby will go back to OKC for a few weeks, but it won’t be long. The kid is ready. I…
According to numerous MLB sources who are all pretty credible, the Dodgers wanted to re-sign Kenley Janson. However, some fans want to believe otherwise. I will be the first to tell you that every report from an “insider” is suspect and not to be taken to the bank, but when I…
