Since there has been a glut of injuries to Dodger players this season, I thought this might be a good topic of discussion. So far there have been, and hopefully will not be any career-threatening injuries. May, Rios, Nelson are all out for the year. Early in the season, May and Rios were injured and have already had their surgeries. Nelson still waiting to see how they will handle his .
It s no secret that many Dodger fans want to be rid of Kenley Jansen. I started this blog before the game last night and finished it this morning, so I am not just riding the bandwagon of the Good Kenley, who notched his 26th save last night on just 7 pitches all strikes! Some fans will say it is because Dave Roberts is just a bad manager as to
That is not the law firm defending Trevor Bauer, but it is the four most scrutinized members of the LAD organization. I started to respond to Mark s post from yesterday, but I got called away for errands. It then got too long for a response, so I decided to make it my own post. I am writing this before Game 1 with NYM, so this could all go to H***
I may not always be the sharpest knife in the drawer but I tend to stay with things until I figure them out and I think I have finally figured out why so many fans have an irrational hatred of Dave Roberts. It took me a while to identfy it and maybe you have not yet identified it either. However, once you understand what I am about to say, I
Ahh, loved Mad Magazine and ole Alfred. Some of the funniest stuff I have ever read. Loved the Spy vs. Spy comics. How is that a subject for a baseball blog you might ask. Well, I got to thinking about it the other day when this place seemed to go off it s collective rocker about the need for urgency being 4 games back on the 16th of August which was actually
Play-Off Picture Although the minor league season has been extended to the third week in September the push for a very limited play-off spot will soon begin. Actually, the A and AA regular seasons end on September 19 with a five-game playoff between the two teams with the best winning percentage in the league regardless of their division. There are no playoffs at the AAA level but the regular schedule
About twelve or so years ago, I wrote a blog about Jason Repko, who was a prospect for the Dodgers. While I do not recall exactly what I wrote, I am sure that it was crass and inconsiderate. Well, Jason Repko s dad read this blog and took me to task (and rightfully so). He cut me down very eloquently and said that I had no idea how hard Jason had
Since moving to Los Angeles in 1958, the Dodgers have had some very good seasons, some bad ones, some simply good, and one God awful season. 1992. What happened to this team to make it lose 99 games? That is by far, the most in LA Dodger history. The Los Angeles Dodgers have lost 90 games or more twice, 92, and 2005. Brooklyn lost 100 or more twice. LA also
Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds is a book about the history of popular folly by Charles Mackay. The book chronicles its targets in three parts: National Delusions, Peculiar Follies, and Philosophical Delusions. It attempts to educate the reader as to why intelligent people do amazingly stupid things when caught up in speculative endeavors. It explores how easily we can be misled and how illogically we can think
The Dodgers won four games in a row and then lost 2-1 to the Phillies yesterday and predictably, it is all Dave Robert s fault. Somehow, Doc should have produced two more runs and Justin Turner should have pinch-hit and hit a home run to win the game even if the medical staff advised him not to play or even if he knew he could not play. To compare that to
WAR, what is it? Simply a tool used to judge a player s value to the franchise. It stands for Wins Above Replacement. WAR simply meaning how many wins this player is better than the guy who has replaced him. No Dodger in team history has a WAR higher than Kershaw s 71.8. That was almost 72 games better than his replacements. There are currently 31 players who finished with a WAR
Do you remember when many Dodger fans wanted to trade Gavin Lux, Keibert Ruiz, and the kitchen sink for Francisco Lindor who was allegedly the second coming? Remember how many were heartbroken when he was traded to the Mets who signed him to a $341 Million Dollar Deal? Remember when most fans wanted Lindor, Trevor Story, Carlos Correa, or Javier Baez instead of Corey Seager? Well, of those five (soon
