Just your typical World Series game three victory
If you expected Walker Buehler to show why he’s already the ace of this team you were not disappointed. As one time World Series hero Adam Wainwright tweeted: I guarantee that anybody who played against or saw @buehlersdayoff pitch this season isn’t surprised at all by how he’s pitching tonight. Hands down best stuff I …
Fernando’s 1981 Game Three – heroic or heinous pitch count complete game 5 – 4 victory
The Dodgers were down 2 – 0 in the 1981 World Series but they were back home and had the 1981 Rookie and Cy Young Award winner going for them. You could say they won this game the old fashioned way, by letting their starter finish what he started but it probably came with a …
1981 World Series is why Fernando is so revered
If you are a Dodger fan you have now heard from multiple people that the last time the Dodgers lost the first two games in the World Series they went on to win that World Series in 1981. Not only in 1981 bt also in 1965 and 1955. Unlike many of you who might be …
Cruise control doesn’t work at Fenway
Other than a minor hiccup, Ryu was dispatching the potent Red Sox lineup with aplomb when he ran into the 9th hitter in the lineup. Unlike the National League, Ryu had to face a real hitter even though Christian Vazquez hardly qualifies as a real hitter. Vazquez was just about the worst hitter in the …
Unleash the Boban
I’m guessing everyone who doesn’t know this bit of trivia would be blown away but the NBA player with the highest PER in the 21st century does not play for the Lakers, he plays for the Los Angeles Clippers. OK, all sorts of caveats apply, but it is still true. Not a fake fact. Crit …
Got naysayer to say?
The Dodger twitter naysayers were out in full force after the loss on Friday. Based on the tweets one had to wonder how such a horrible team had managed to even win three games in the NLCS. I don’t quite understand naysayers in sports. Why root for a team if all you do is probe …
Justin Turner the gift that keeps on giving
Justin Turner is the most important cog of the 2018 Dodgers and the biggest reason why the Dodgers are headed to Fenway to battle the Red Sox for the 2018 World Championship. The proof is really in the pudding when you consider the Dodgers record on May 16th, and the Dodgers record after Justin Turner …
From 16 – 26 to Fenway
Many fans panicked back in May when the Dodgers were 16 – 26 and things looked bleak. I didn’t because I don’t understand the point of panic, of losing hope, of giving up. These aren’t just empty words as I bask in the Dodgers headed back to the World Series, I write these ideas down …
Walker / Kershaw / Baez / Jansen
The media and some fans seem to be focused on how Josh Hader is fresh and ready to vanquish the Dodgers all by himself, but I think they might be missing the bigger picture. The most that Josh Hader can pitch is three innings, and last I looked a major league game is nine innings …
Not ready to say goodbye
The Dodgers may not play in Chavez Ravine again in 2018. Clayton Kershaw may never pitch again in the Ravine as a Dodger. Both of these things are in play as the Dodgers head to Milwaukee to take on this tough Brewer team. To make sure neither of those things happens they just have to …
