The Oldest Team in MLB

That would be the Dodgers. They are going to have to get younger and I am sure the Dodger brass is thinking just that… however, it likely won’t be this year. Andy Pages has a runway that is at least a month longer. Max Muncy’s runway is longer. Kike, CT3, Barnsie, and MiggyRo…

Don't Trust Batting Average

Yesterday, I was reading a comment that a certain player’s batting averages were down, as if that was bad. Well, it’s not whether a batting average is good or not; it’s whether other statistics can explain the BA. I never use BA alone as a stat or indicator of anything. For…

OK, I Give Up!

Bobby Miller is maddening! Yet, I can’t hate him. You see, I could hit triple digits when I was young, and no one even offered me a deal because my pitches were flat and straight! Bobby Miller is in the show, but he looks horrible. I will not belabor this with a lot of thinking…

Pitching, Utility Players, Trades & Callups

After Blake Snell went down for a few days, some fans complained that the Dodgers did not have enough pitching. I beg to differ. Landon Knack had a bad game when he was called up, so that means he can never pitch… right? Well, he didn’t pitch great last night. We shall see……

Nothing to See Here, Folks…

Some days, you just can’t catch a break, or maybe you are sleepwalking. It was funny watching Miggy Ro pitch and imitate other pitchers. Other than that, just move on. There’s nothing to see. https://twitter.com/DodgerBlue1958/status/1911260507757314385 If Andy Pages hadn’t…

The Friedman Interview

Here is the video of the interview I did with Andrew Friedman on April 1, 2025, in the Dodgers’ Dugout right before the game. Enjoy! It’s just a casual conversation… I am not trying to be a “super announcer.” I’m just a fan interviewing the President of Dodger Baseball…

Of Course, Fans Know Better!

Some Dodger fans are losing their collective minds after 13 games, even though the Dodgers are on track to win 112 games with a .692 winning percentage. I have heard all of the following suggestions: Chris Taylor is toast. Max Muncy is a bum Mookie should be in CF Mookie should…

Roster Churn

Since Opening Day, we have seen Freddie Freeman and Blake Snell go on the IL with Hunter Feduccia and Matt Sauer taking their places. Rest assured, you are going to see a lot more of this. The Dodgers have massive depth, and you are going to see it maxed out. Kershaw, Ohtani…

A Great Night at the Ravine

We arrived at Dodger Stadium at 4:30 for the 7:10 game. Jon Weisman, who is the Dodgers VP of Communications and someone I have known for twenty-plus years, left me a Media Credential which is a “Get out of Jail Free Card” – it takes you anywhere in the stadium. My wife, son…

A Blogger Returns…

In 1963, I became a Dodger fan for life. It’s a long story, but it happened when I was nine. I have been a Dodger fan for most of my life, and I am now an old man who will turn 72 years old in a few months. My 25-year-old son has recently turned into a rabid Dodger fan, and…
