A lot of Dodger Fans are writing off Walker Buehler because the velocity of his four-seamer topped out at 95.9 MPH in his last start and probably averaged 94 MPH. They remember the Walker Buehler (or is it “misremember”?) who threw 99-100 MPH and walked on water, but of course…
Do you remember Linus, the character in Charlie Brown who always had a black cloud hanging over his head? That feels like the Dodgers right about now. We might as well listen to a little Meghan Trainor… It’s pretty obvious that MLB hitters are looking to hit Yamamoto’s first…
OKC has lost two games back-to-back, and Miguel Vargas was not in OKC’s lineup for a second consecutive day, but it was for a very good reason. He took his U.S. citizenship test and passed. He is no longer a Cuban. He is now an American. BTW, is this the only country you go to…
Your Los Angeles Dodgers are now 12-9, and fans are jumping off bridges, buildings, couches and sandboxes. The Dodgers have lost 3 of their last 4 games. Today is an off day, but yesterday kind of felt like rock bottom. Maybe it was – or maybe rock bottom is still below us…
I don’t! I have been just fine, but most Dodger Fans are losing their damn minds. No, let me rephrase that – they have already lost their minds! Have you ever watched the game of baseball? Do you know that it is sometimes maddening? I cannot predict what will happen, but I would…
It seems like every other day, someone is blowing out their UCL and needing Tommy John Surgery. The Dodgers have had their share – Buehler, Gonsolin, May, Frasso, et al. What can be done to stop this? Can anything be done to stop this? I have been listening to all of the talk…
The two teams that played in the World Series last year are at .500; both are 8-8. The Brewers are 10-4, and the Pirates are 11-5. The Yankees are 12-4, and the Guardians are 10-5. I think it’s a good bet that of those six teams, the majority will not make the playoffs. The…
As we speak, Mookie Betts is listed as the Dodger’s starting shortstop, but against tough LHP he slides over to 2B, as Gavin Lux is deemed a liability against lefties and Miguel Rojas plays SS. Miguel still plays SS at a very high level and he does hit LHP better than RHP as a…
If Fickler is not a word, then I just invented it! If you haven’t been paying attention, relief pitchers are a fickle group. If you say that something is fickle, you mean that it often changes and is unreliable, and that would be the correct definition of relief pitchers……
James Outman got a couple of hits, including a 3-run HR last night. As huge as Tyler Glasnows’ night was (7 IP/14 K’s/3 H/0 BB), the Dodgers needed James to get resurrected, and he is certainly trending in the right direction. This bodes well for the team, and now, if only…
I took a lot of flack last season because of James Outman. Much of it came from Eric, who disappeared this year when the going got tough for James. Eric evidently can dish it out, but he can’t take it! I sometimes think he loves James Outman more than the Dodgers. He also seems…
