Dodgers base stealing philosophy in need of overhaul
November 9th, 2015 at 6:00 am by Ron Cervenka As most Dodger fans know, their beloved team was not very successful at stealing bases this past season.

November 7th, 2015 at 6:00 am by Ron Cervenka It came as a surprise to no one that Dodgers right-hander Zack Greinke opted out of his six-year / $147 million contract with the Dodgers on Wednesday morning, thereby walking away from a guaranteed $71 million still on the table over the next three seasons.

J.P. Howell returning in 2016 and In-N-Out couldn’t be happier
November 6th, 2015 at 6:00 am by Ron Cervenka It was a passing comment – one like you often hear in a major league clubhouse.

World Series won on what Royals did right, not what Collins did wrong
November 2nd, 2015 at 9:38 am by Ron Cervenka If you were to ask New York Mets manager Terry Collins why his club lost the 2015 World Series to the Kansas City Royals, he would probably shoulder the blame and say that it was because he left Game-5 starter Matt Harvey in to pitch the ninth inning with his team up 2-0 and the […]
