Tony Gonsolin looks to be back. His fastball was generally in the 92 to 94 MPH range, but occasionally he hit 95 MPH and even touched 96 MPH. At this stage of the season, I would slot Tony ahead of Dustin May, and May has also shown nice progress. Next week, the Dodgers get…
Of course, the Big Dodger in the Sky is what is invisible to most people, but to us True Dodger Believers, we see it! Nothing is impossible with the Big Dodger in the Sky! Last night had to be one of the most amazing comebacks… EVER! Down three runs in the 9th inning, the…
In the Nippon Professional Baseball league (NPB), pitchers typically get six days of rest between starts. This is often referred to as a “6-man rotation” because a team typically has six starting pitchers who pitch once a week. Some teams in the NPB may also have one day off per…
The Dodgers Depth is a blessing… not a curse… even though it seems that way at times. They have too many players for so few positions. Hyeseong Kim has 5 MLB games under his belt with 12 ABs and he looks like he belongs. He actually looks like a spark plug. But 5 games is not a…
That was what Dave Roberts said when he put JP Feyereisen in the game in the 10th inning. Dodger fans are losing their minds because JP is clearly a shell of himself compared to 2021 and 2022. Why the Dodgers thought he might be able to pitch effectively is beyond me… maybe they…
Dustin May Dustin May is 2nd to Yamamoto in innings pitched on the Dodgers. Yamamoto has 40 IP and May has 33. This is after missing two years due to injuries. Dustin May is the Dodgers’ 5th or 6th Starter and is a little rusty after such a long layoff. His ERA sits at 4.36…
The two things above have nothing to do with each other. However, we are all waiting with bated breath for Shohei Ohtani to take the mound. It may come in June or July… or it could come as late as August. I am convinced that his role will not be that of a conventional starter…
I was tied up at the Craft Beer Conference all day yesterday. The 2025 Craft Brewers Conferen ce & BrewExpo America was held in Indianapolis, Indiana, from April 28 to May 1, 2025. This is the premier gathering for beverage alcohol producers in the US, featuring educational…
Last night’s game should not count as the Dodgers played the Little Sister of the Poor. The Marlins are an embarrassment to baseball, and Sandy Alcántara is a shell of himself. Matt Sauer acquitted himself nicely (he’s a great story) and Kike kept his ERA at 0.00. Matt Sauer…
In case you’ve been hiding under a rock, you probably realize that the Dodgers have a lot of pitchers with arm issues, and that this is something that plagues every team. They are trying to figure it out, but a lot of it was already in place before they were drafted, and then…
Remember when Dodger fans were pining for David Bednar? He was the flavor of the month in 2023 when he had 39 saves and an ERA of 2.00. Since then, he has an ERA over 5.00 – 5.77 in 2024 and 5.40 so far this year. Be careful what you wish for. Remember when just about every…
So over the past few days, I have heard that Max Muncy is toast, the Dodgers should trade for Nolan Arenado, Luis Robert, Jr., Cedric Mullins, Walker Buehler, Julio Rodriguez, and that Dave Roberts is making lots of managing blunders. In other words – this Dodger team is so…
