Dustin May may be the Dodger’s best pitcher before the season is over. He did not have his best stuff or pinpoint control last night, but even when he is “off,” he is still extremely hard to hit. His “bad stuff” is better than most pitchers’ “good stuff!” Actually, the entire…
Fans all over the Dodger Blogosphere are talking about Jahmai Jones as the second coming. Is he? Is he a prospect or just a suspect? Jahmai is 25 years old (he will be 26 on August 4, 2023). He was drafted in the 2nd Round of the MLB Amateur Draft in 2015 out of High School…
If you could pick just one player that you thought would help the Dodgers win another World Series, who would it be? For most Dodger fans I have talked to, and judging from the posts I have read, that player would be Shoei Ohtani. Ohtani is a front-line pitcher, and he is an…
Ever since Andrew Friedman assumed the role of President of Baseball Operations for the Los Angeles Dodgers, he has pushed the envelope and has the Dodgers on the “Cutting Edge” in a variety of areas of baseball operations. Despite drafting at the bottom of each round, Andrew…
I am going to say something that is absolutely true, and if you disagree with it, you are an idiot: Anyone who blames either of the 2-1 loses to the D-Bags on Dave Roberts is also an idiot! End of story. Dave Roberts is the manager – he does not hit or pitch. I don’t care what…
Some of you thought this team was rebuilding and would be pretty mediocre. I tried to tell you otherwise! I don’t think anyone can say that the Dodgers made any bad moves in the offseason. It appears they made the right moves, So right about now would be a good time to just…
Every year just before spring training starts, MLB.TV comes out with its power rankings for the year. Naturally, the rankings will change during the season depending on how the teams are playing at any given time. For our purposes, I will just stick with the top 10, Everyone…
However, the 2023 Version of the LA Dodgers should at least stifle the “Wild Imaginings” of “ the Lunatic Fringe ” part of the Dodgers’ fanbase who feel that Andrew Friedman should have an All-Star at every position and another All-Star as a backup, or the team is doomed to lose…
THE BATTLE OF THE THIRY-SOMETHINGS Spring Training doesn’t mean much to veteran players, They have done it before, and it is assumed that they can do it again. It is not always true, but it is true enough that it has to happen with people like Jason Heyward (who was pretty good…
As I write this, the Dodgers have just beaten the Angels 3-0 in the Opening Game of the Freeway series. Then, they lost 5-4 in the second game. It’s still Spring Training, and wins don’t mean what they do in the Regular Season, but the Dodgers look ready, and then I read some…
Monday saves the flag Robert James “Rick” Monday was born in Batesville Arkansas on November 20th, 1945. Sometime during his youth, his family relocated to Santa Monica, California. Rick then attended Santa Monica High School. He earned All-League honors and after graduation had…
The only question is where he has punched it to. So far, he has 31 ABs with nine hits in Spring Training. He has two doubles, two home runs, and 4 RBI. He is hitting .290 with a .389 OB%, a .578 SLG, and a .937 OPS. Of course, that is a small sampling, but he did nothing but…
