Michael Busch is a Minor League Player for the Los Angeles Dodgers who just finished his second full season, even though he was actually drafted in 2019 and had all of 24 ABs in the Minor Leagues because he was hit by a pitch and missed the rest of the season with broken bones…
Bill Russell #18 William Ellis Russell was born Oct 21, 1948, in Pittsburgh, Kansas. He would spend his entire career as a Dodger. Eighteen years, 2,181 games, four pennant winners, and one World Series Championship. He took over as manager in 1996 after Lasorda had his heart…
Merry Christmas everyone and Happy Holidays to those who prefer that greeting. Buon Natale to my paisanos! Bah Humbug to Dodger’s fans! Were the Dodgers on the naughty list this year? It would seem that way, at least to the sportswriters and bloggers. The presents under the tree…
We did Christmas on Christmas Eve, and it was spectacular. My youngest son got me the coolest gift ever! I just re-did my office, and I had wall space for a nice three or four-foot picture or painting. I was not sure what I was going to put there. Of course, I raised Stephen to…
I tried not to leave anyone out so as not to offend anyone… but I am sure someone is offended. Sorry! As I write this, it is 1 degree F, but it was -11 yesterday. We only have about 2″ of snow on the ground, however. When it is this cold, it doesn’t snow here. We just got done…
I will not presume to speak for Trevor Bauer, but I do not think the “WIN” he got today was enough or what he wanted. I also will not pretend to know if he can play while appealing the verdict. From what I know about Trevor Bauer, I think he is willing to go “balls to the wall.”…
James Outman had 16 Major League Plate Appearances and 13 official at bats last season. He went 6 for 13, with two doubles, a homer, and three RBI. He walked twice and he struck out seven times. This was over a four-game stretch from July 31 to August 4, one at Colorado and…
A very weird offseason indeed. This year’s free agent class featured some high-end talent and at the top of the list was Aaron Judge fresh off of a record-setting 62 home run season to go along with an astonishing 10.6 WAR. A right-handed bat who plays Right Field and Center…
Well, he did not actually do that, and it is not my intent to disparage Justin Turner. He will always be a Dodger in my mind, but I think he should have just retired rather than go to Boston. Essentially by not signing JT and signing JDM instead, he made that trade. But like…
It’s time for some Sunday School, Boys, and Girls, and I have a few observations, including what the Dodgers need to do for a SS, CF’er, and a six-man rotation in 2023. It’s time for some Sunday School Education. JD Martinez : The fact that the Dodgers signed J..D. Martinez…
This is the Wackiest Offseason in recent memory for many reasons. The Dodgers are coming off a 111 win season with few holes to fill and a trio of potential rookies that are ready or very close to ready for the Show. Then the front office decided to create more holes by not…
The criticism of Andrew Friedmans lack of off-season moves is being read in social media circles and blogs like there’s no tomorrow. Many fans are expressing their opinions without a clear understanding of the ramifications and penalties levied to teams that sign free agents. I…
