Los Angeles Dodgers 2020 29th draft pick and number one pitching prospect, Bobby Miller, debuted against the Atlanta Braves. He faced Ronald Acuna Jr. on his first at-bat as a major leaguer and started him off with an inside 100.1 MPH four-seam fastball. It took just one pitch to settle down the first-start jitters as Acuña grounded out to Muncy …
Welcome to my new segment, You Said What? Short rants based on real quotes. Spring training is up and running. Let’s rant about some arbitrary quotes. “I still expect to win the World Series. I do. And I don’t think that there’s anybody that’s a part of our organization or fan base that doesn’t feel that same way.” – Dave …
The Super Bowl is around the corner. Pretty soon, you won’t have to pretend to know what a pass interference looks like. The NBA season is closer to the end than it is to the beginning. Kyrie Irving has started to pack for his quest for the edge of the world. The weather (in California) is beginning to change. You …
Dodger fans have plenty of ammo in their arsenal of shouts to direct at the front office, but they’re still the big dogs of the west. “Fire Dave Roberts!” “Forget saving money for Shohei, spend now!” “We need a bigtime pitcher!” At this point, these cries are Andrew Friedman’s tell-tale heartbeat. Instead of driving him crazy, the fans are the …
After wrapping up their seventh consecutive NL West crown, the Los Angeles Dodgers celebrated. It was a subdued one, but a celebration nonetheless. It’s a sense of accomplishment, a 162-game grind while coming out on top in your respective division. It is certainly worth popping bottles and the champagne shower that only six division-winning teams get to share at some …
I am not sure anyone would have guessed the Los Angeles Dodgers would be leading the entire league in wins, let alone be halfway to 110 wins at this point. The Dodgers are a quality, deep, and loaded team. However, there are some things to raise an eyebrow about. First base. What is Dave Roberts going to do at the …
What happens when your biggest free agent signing of the offseason, A.J. Pollock, is set to come back from the Injured List, and you have another outfielder who just slugged his 20th home run of the season, who is a straight platoon in the outfield? You find the basher another glove and a new position to play. Last night, Joc …
Week one is in the books. This time last week the entire league was undefeated if you don’t count the game played in Japan, and each team had all the hope in the world. New faces in new places highlighted the action, as well as Cy Young award winners going up against runner-ups from 2018 on opening day. It was …
Since Andrew Friedman, and this front office, as well as ownership, took the reins in Los Angeles, one of the things they wanted to be was “flexible.” Flexible in contracts, in personnel, in players, in draft picks, and how they acquire new players via trade or draft. While the on the field success has delivered the first back to back …
For the first time since Tommy Lasorda managed the Los Angeles Dodgers, they made back-to-back appearances in the fall classic. Yes, there have been calls for Dave Roberts to be fired, but that just goes to show you how spoiled L.A. fans are. Let’s be clear, Roberts isn’t going anywhere, nor should he. The only thing that is going to …
