The Cavan Biggio Experiment is Over!

Note: I am not back, but I am not gone either. The morons have two strikes on them. Whether they stay or go is on them. I don’t know how much I will post, but the thread will be open daily. Have at it. Cavan Biggio was released by the Toronto Blue Jays after hitting .200 this…

On Track For 100 Wins… AGAIN!

The Dodgers are on pace to win over 100 games this season… again… for the fourth year in a row. No has EVER (in baseball history) EVER done that, but were it not for the COVID-19 short season, the Dodgers would have won 100 games six years in a row! Let that sink in! No team has…

Minor Help on the Horizon?

I am losing patience with silly comments by people who always say the same thing in relation to players. Zero Understanding is something I do not tolerate well, so keep saying silly stuff and see what happens. This does not apply to most of you. Take it for what it is worth, but…

Logic Trumps Emotion

Logic is the language of the conscious mind, emotion is the language of the unconscious mind. We know that emotions are reactions to perceived and imagined stimuli, not based on logic, but on one’s own personal experiences. Emotions often outweigh our logic. Last Spring…

Speechless

Some days, I just read the comments, and I have nothing to say… I’ll leave it at that! X-CITES The Night for River Ryan is done! 3IP 1H 0R 4Ks 0BB He sat 96.5, touched 98.9 spin averaged well over 2300 and touched over 2500. That's a BIG fastball! Cutter hit close to 90, all 4…

Checkup From the Neck-Up

The Los Angeles Dodgers are currently #2 in runs scored and #3 in BA but are #1 in OB% and OPS, which, in my humble opinion, are the most important metrics. The pitching staff ain’t too shabby either. The Dodgers are #4 in team ERA, with the starters being #8 while the bullpen…

What Does the Future Hold for Walker Buehler?

Walker Buehler was a true power pitcher. While there may not be a definitive definition of what a power pitcher is, I am going to take a stab at it. I would define a power pitcher as this: “A Power Pitcher is is a pitcher who is in the upper five to ten percent of MLB pitchers…

The Turning Point?

The Dodgers entered the 9th inning down 9-4: Andy Pages walk Miguel Rojas single K Miguel Vargas walk Jason Heyward pinch-hit grand slam Shohei Ohtani single K Freddie Freeman intentional walk Teoscar Hernández three-run home run. LA is now up 11-9. I cannot believe what I saw…

Remember This: Don't Panic!

Mookie Betts has a broken hand, and the sky is falling because the world has ended. Un… no! Betts had his hand broken by a 98 MPH fastball thrown by Dan Altavilla. This is baseball, and stuff happens. There will be no big trades in the immediate future. Sorry to break it to you…

Happy Fathers Day

The family surprised me last night and came over for a BBQ and swimming party. Our youngest granddaughter spent the night, and we are taking her out for breakfast today. I have a magical life… almost perfect but I live every day to its fullest and never take it for granted. I am…

There is No Right Answer

Can the Dodgers win with Mookie Betts at SS? Of course, they can. They do not have to get a SS THIS YEAR. I do not expect Mookie to play SS for more than a year… maybe two, but he is solid at the position. Yes, he will make an error or two, but Seager and Turner were not…
