(Read More)Keeping It in the Family
When you peruse the list of the Dodgers 24 non-roster invitees to Spring Training 2025 and in addition to 23-year-old international superstar right-hander Roki Sasaki, there is one other name that jumps out at you. It is, of course, that of 24-year-old right-hander Jared Karros, who was selected by the Dodgers in the 16th round out of […]

Stop the Whining!
As you all know by now, Ichiro Suzuki was one vote short of a unanimous, first-ballot selection to the Major League Baseball Hall of Fame class of 2025. There couldn’t be hanging chad, the ballots were old fashioned paper and pen/pencil. Were all of the mail ballots thoroughly checked; double and triple checked? There must […]
Remaining Roster Tweaking
With 23-year-old Roki Sasaki added to the Dodgers pitching staff, the team can now focus on tweaking the roster for their pursuit of the 2025 World Championship. Reportedly, there has been a subtle but very important change in the Dodgers player acquisition strategy. Andrew Friedman, the team’s President of Baseball Operations, was recently quoted that […]
They Don’t Make Them Like This Anymore
Fact: Exactly five years after 10-time All-Star, five-time ERA title holder, three-time Cy Young Award winner, former MLB MVP and Triple-Crown winner Dodgers left-hander Clayton Kershaw decides to retire from Major League Baseball, he will be enshrined in the National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York. Of that you can be sure. The […]
(Read More)Dodgers Re-Sign Max Muncy
In a move that may be a bit unpopular for some, the Dodgers announced on Thursday morning that they had re-signed 33-year-old third baseman Max Muncy to a two-year/$24 million contract extension that includes a $10 million club option for a third year in 2026. As every Dodgers fan painfully knows, although the Midland, TX native […]
(Read More)And Then There Were None
Although the Dodger weren’t in it, it’s hard to argue that the 2023 version of Major League Baseball’s World Series wasn’t entertaining, if for no other reason than extremely popular former Dodgers shortstop (ugh) Corey Seager and former Dodgers relievers Nathan Eovaldi and Josh Sborz were in it and played huge roles in the Texas […]
(Read More)Has Seager Seen His Last World Series Pitch?
It is a question asked not only by every 2023 World Series broadcaster and analyst, but by every baseball fan on the planet: “Why do the Arizona Diamondbacks continue to pitch to Corey Seager?” I mean, even though the 29-year-old Charlotte, NC native and (ugh) Dodgers first-round draft pick in 2012 out of Northwest Cabarrus High […]
(Read More)And The Hurts Just Keep On Coming
As Dodgers fans, it is difficult to flip on the TV to watch a World Series that should include our beloved team but doesn’t. As such, the best that we can do is root for former Dodgers shortstop Corey Seager and former Dodgers relievers Nathan Eovaldi, Josh Sborz and Andrew Heaney, all of whom are […]
(Read More)Decisions, Decisions
At risk of criticism and ridicule, I’ll say (ask) what many Dodgers fans are thinking but no one wants to come right out and say (ask): Should the Dodgers keep 26-year-old outfielder James Outman, who was signed through the 2023 season and becomes arbitration eligible in 2026 and a free agent in 2029, or should they […]
(Read More)Arlington, You Have A Problem
Apologies to the City of Houston (not really) for stealing your popular phrase, but the Texas Rangers, who are based in nearby Arlington, could be in for some very difficult times for the remainder of the 2023 World Series. If what we witnessed from Arizona Diamondbacks right-hander Merrill Kelly and their incredible offense in Game-2 […]
(Read More)Joe Davis’ Best Call Yet
It is an undeniable and indisputable fact that there will never again be another sports broadcaster better than – or even as good as – beloved Hall of Fame Dodgers broadcaster Vin Scully. Not ever. That being said and fully understood and accepted by everyone, it is hard to argue that current Dodgers SportsNet LA […]
(Read More)Just Like They Wrote It Up
Let’s be honest here. As Dodgers fans, it’s hard to get fired up about the 2023 World Series between the Texas Rangers and the Arizona Diamondbacks. The same Arizona Diamondbacks that swept the Dodgers out of the postseason in three games. Then again, it is impossible not to root for arguably the most popular (ugh) […]
