In case you don’t know who Mark Kertenian is, he was the Manager of the Rancho Cucamonga Quakes in 2019 and was a rising star in the Dodger Organization. Here is a video as he approached the 2019 Season: He was slated to be the Bench Coach at OKC in 2020, but that never happened…
There are 1,458 innings in a 162-game baseball schedule. Of course, games will inevitably go into extra innings, so let’s call a season 1,500 innings (give or take). I have stated before that I would not be surprised if no Dodger starter pitched more than 125 innings. For…
As you have probably heard, Eric Wedge was recently named manager of the Dodger’s AA Affiliate, the Tulsa Drillers. Scott Hennessey was formerly the manager of Tulsa, but he moved up to the OKC Comets last fall after former OKC Manager Travis Barbary decided that he would rather…
Padre Fans, Giant Fans, Ranger Fans, Braves Fans, Blue Jays Fans, and every other baseball fan on the face of this earth are bitching up a storm about how the Dodgers are “ruining baseball.” They would be fine if their team was doing what the Dodgers are doing, but no one else…
On October 14, 2014, Andrew Friedman was hired by the Los Angeles Dodgers as President of Baseball Operations. Before coming to the Dodgers, he had previously served as Executive Vice President of Baseball Operations of the Tampa Bay Rays, where, despite overseeing one of the…
The Los Angeles Dodgers finally signed Tanner Scott for their bullpen, giving them a plethora of closers… or maybe we should just call them “high-leverage relievers.” Dodgers, LHP Tanner Scott reportedly agree to four-year deal per https://t.co/Z3s2EphcSH 's @Feinsand…
Around sixty years ago, the Beatles said it best: Money didn’t buy Roki Sasaki… at least in the short term. Roki is likely looking at the big picture, knowing full well that this rotation is likely headed to the 2025 World Series. If he goes to the World Series and wins some…
NOTE: This is an update of a blog I published in 2017. Evan B wrote about Vero Beach and said there was no place like it. I totally agree. I have been to Vero Beach over a dozen times maybe 20, I really can t say. The year before the Dodgers moved to Arizona, we were looking at condos in that area. Fortunately, we could not afford it at the time .
I finalized all my travel, hotel, and car rental requirements for my trip to Camelback Ranch on February 20-23. My son and my nephew are going with me. My son is 25, and my nephew is 38. The last time my son was at Spring Training was at Vero Beach when he was five (see pic…
Sometimes, we find out later what we did not know that we did not know… and sometimes, we never find out. For example, I have some former employees that I am friends with but whom I would never want to work for me again. There may be various reasons for this. I may have reasons…
MLB.com just came out with their first 2025 Power Rankings, and to no one’s surprise, the Dodgers are #1. The Phillies are #2, and the Yankees are #3. They said this about the Dodgers: 1. Dodgers (previously: 1) The Dodgers are basking in the warm glow of their World Series win…
I don’t mean financially… I mean offensively! I don’t think it is any secret that he’s no power hitter. But he is a defensive wizard. I don’t know if I believe all the rumors, like Lux to the Yankees, but I do think it is a possibility that Hyeseong Kim could be the Dodgers’…
