ESPN Commentators on Ryan Braun
This is from an email that I received from the ESPN PR Department on Monday morning. It is a partial transcript from Sunday night’s ESPN game between the St. Louis Cardinals and Milwaukee Brewers in which play-by-play commentator Dan Shulman and analysts Orel Hershiser and John Kruk gave their personal opinions and perspectives regarding the Ryan […]
(Read More)Time to hand the 2013 NL Cy Young Award to Kershaw
When Clayton Kershaw was snubbed out of the National League Cy Young Award last year there were a lot of upset Dodger fans, and rightfully so. Face it, when you have the best earned run average in the league for the (then) second year in a row (now third), have the best WHIP and are second in […]
(Read More)Post-Season scenarios still not quite settled
The Dodgers regular season has whittled down to six games remaining. Even after 156 games played, questions remain regarding the Dodgers first round opponent and the dates of their first post-season home games in four years. After reading this post, you might find yourself dizzy, but there are so many potential outcomes that could play […]
(Read More)Photos from ‘Pool-gate’
Like most Dodger fans (and basically anyone with a shred of common sense), I am of the belief that this whole Chase Field swimming pool incident (dubbed ‘Pool-gate’) is nothing more than a bunch of sore losers who are making a big deal about nothing. Why is it that the national media said little or […]
(Read More)Nolasco and Volquez headed in opposite directions
Barring the unforeseen, it is pretty much a given that Clayton Kershaw, Zack Greinke and Hyun-jin Ryu will be the three primary starters for the post-season. What isn’t quite as clear is who the fourth starter will be (or who the long reliever out of the bullpen as the case may be). It’s pretty safe […]
(Read More)Clinching the NL West – Plenty of heroes
If you had to pick the one person who was most instrumental in the Dodgers’ 7-6 NL West-clinching game over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Thursday, you would undoubtedly say Hanley Ramirez for his 4 for 5, two-home run, 4 RBI performance, right? After all, Hanley’s 18th and 19th home runs of the season set a […]
(Read More)Play to win or go home
It took one glance at the Dodgers starting line up on Wednesday night to know that they were doomed even before the first pitch was thrown. How Dodger manager Don Mattingly actually expected to beat the Diamondbacks’ A-team, which is very very good, with his B-team which is… well… a B-team, is anyone’s guess. And […]
(Read More)The winner of the Worst Owner in Baseball Award is…
If a poll had been taken after last December’s MLB Winter Meetings in Nashville as to who the worst owner in baseball was, there is little doubt that Miami Marlins owner Jeffrey Loria would have been the unanimous winner. Loria, if you recall, traded away a boat load of top tier players as a salary […]
(Read More)Dodgers add four pitchers to Arizona Fall League roster
As anticipated, the Dodgers have added four pitching prospects to the Glendale Desert Dogs roster for the upcoming 2013 Arizona Fall League (AFL). Joining Rancho Cucamonga Quakes catchers Chris O’Brien and Pratt Maynard, shortstop Corey Seager and Chattanooga Lookouts outfielder Brian Cavazos-Galvez will be left-handers Onelki Garcia, who recently made his MLB debut with the Dodgers as a […]
