They say time flies when you’re having fun, and whoever they are, they are right. As the World Wide Web celebrates its 30 birthday, the 2019 season will mark the beginning of ThinkBlueLA’s second decade on it. On a cool, crisp spring day in 2009, Scott Harvey, an IT supervisor for LA County (and a […]

We heard it for the first time last year right around this time … “opener.” Not a starting pitcher, but an opening pitcher. It could be a regular starter who goes only one or two innings but it is usually a reliever who begins the game but goes only one inning and then hands the […]

After yet another dominating pitching performance on Sunday by young Dodgers left-hander Julio Urias against the Colorado Rockies (with an assist by Kiké Hernandez on a dazzling defensive play in the first inning), Dodgers manager Dave Roberts’ decision on his Opening Day starting rotation became even more complicated. Urias pitched three scoreless innings, allowing no […]

Everyone has anxiety in one way or another. For some, it’s a rare occurrence like maybe a job interview. For others, like myself, it can feel as though it consumes your whole life.

Hyun-Jin Ryu […]

Somewhere Abner Doubleday is rolling over in his grave. The game that the famed Civil War general is credited with inventing (which has long since been debunked) is about to change … drastically. On Friday morning, Major League Baseball (MLB) and the Atlantic League of Professional Baseball (ALPB), a well-respected (to this point, at least) […]

Those who have followed the game of baseball for any significant amount of time know full well that you should never put too much weight on what happens during spring training. And although I personally am not among those who deem spring training games as “meaningless games,” I long ago learned that what you see […]

For old-school traditional Dodger fans, the term “everyday player” no longer exists. Gone are the days when the same guys played the same position every day, such as Davey Lopes, Bill Russell, Steve Garvey, and Ron Cey – affectionately known as “The Infield” – who played together from June of 1973 through the end of […]
