  1. Yep and he was pretty solid until Sosh put him on speed dial.
  2. MLB Player of the decade. A week doesn’t do him justice.
  3. 7-8 innings is now considered a stretch. I remember the days when using 2-3 pitchers was how it was done. A starter, a setup man and a closer. Maybe that concept wouldn’t survive today’s hitting but I miss those days. Guys like Ryan, Valenzuela, Sutton, Messersmith that would always get you to the 8th inning were a true treasure to watch. I get the longevity and injury issues but I think the game has taken a step back in terms of historical value. No hitters by starting pitchers may soon be a thing of the past.
  4. I think a lot of today’s pitching stats are convoluted because of this new opener approach. I personally don’t really know if it’s actually working or not. It’s still a pilot program in my opinion. I’m not opposed to change but I’m concerned about losing traditional things like 20 game winners, no hitters, perfect games, strikeout records, Cy Young’s. But yes, your post does paint a different picture about the Dodgers staff. I’m just a fan of Starters, relievers and closers.
  5. Carrot Anderson needs to make an appearance every now and then. Awesome profile pic.
  6. I like Adell but it’s a little too early to bring him up now. He just turned 20 so it can wait. Maybe September or let him display his talent at spring training 2020.
  7. I hope that he does participate. He’s an absolute masher during BP and he can launch a baseball with the best of them.
  8. I seriously doubt that the Angels will unceremoniously tell him to take his paid in full check and GTFO. They won’t do that to a HoF’r unless he requests it. There’s still a few milestones that he can accomplish and I think he will.
  9. But at the end of May Pujols’ ops was .731 and we were already 10.5 games back so he definitely helped us get there.
  10. Yes that’s correct. We also lead MLB with the least amount of innings by starters.
  11. The bullpen is absolutely burned out. They lead the league in innings used.
