(Editor’s Note: The following is an article from Amanda Howell’s new blog site Faith, Fastballs & Flannels. It has been re-posted here in its entirety with her permission) Babe Ruth once said “baseball was, is, and will always be the greatest game in the world”. I wholeheartedly agree with this statement.

It didn’t take Dodgers President of Baseball Operations Andrew Friedman long to begin toying with Dodgers fans over whether or not he plans to make a run at re-signing 2015 Cy Young hopeful Zack Greinke. In fact, he did so at the very first opportunity he had – Day-1 of the annual general managers meetings being […]

As most Dodger fans know, their beloved team was not very successful at stealing bases this past season. In fact, the Dodgers’ 59 stolen bases in 2015 ranked 12th (out of 15) in the National League and the 34 times in which they were caught stealing put them dead last with a 63.4 percent success rate.

In this case it was the Dodgers clubhouse at Camelback Ranch during spring training 2015. The Dodgers were coming up on their one and only scheduled day off for the entire spring, and oh were they looking forward to it. Veteran Dodgers […]

Before there was Ned Colletti, before there was Jim Tracy, before there was Joe Torre, Don Mattingly, the Guggenheim Baseball Management Group, Stan Kasten, Andrew Friedman and Farhan Zaidi, there was Tim Wallach – a former 17-year major league veteran who was the Dodgers hitting coach under then manager Grady Little. But in 2009, Wallach […]
