    • “Obviously the impact Kiké made in October on-field, it was obvious. [But] off-field, this past October may have been the most impressive displays of leadership I’ve ever seen. His connecting with different guys. Going out of his way on a number of different fronts was quite possibly the most impressive leadership I’ve ever seen.” — Andrew Friedman

    x has tried to encourage me to do this multiple times but never felt the urge to blow that kind of wad on a fantasy...
    the sports one of course since the other one can't be avoided apparently
    would like to walk around the field, dugouts and clubhouses on a tour though if they offered that
    don't know if guys that frequent DS know but if you take the stairs down levels you can go one below field and find yourself under the stadium
    that was pretty cool to do once and I kept expecting someone to stop us but they never did which was slightly unnerving
    probably cause once I was w blf and he seemed to be taking notes...

    this makes me incredibly happy to see the man get the recognition he deserves for being so integral to the team success
    going to be interesting to see just how far they are willing to go in the negotiations w davey who clearly has an inflated sense of worth to the team
    kike loves baseball and thrives on the mayhem when or field leader shrinks
    clearly roberts has cleaned up on the obvious mistakes but seems like so many could do more to motivate
    he might get 10 mil a year which is insane for an ass slapper but a percentage should be handed to the real emotional leader of the squad

    Will Smith is dealing with an ankle issue and “a little behind,” Dave Roberts said. He added that Smith has been running on an Alter-G treadmill.

    Nice update on pitching...

    https://www.mlb.com/news/dodgers-to-open-2025-season-with-five-man-rotation

    -- They think they can get by with a five man rotation until Shohei is ready to pitch.

    -- Ohtani will not count towards the 13 pitcher roster limit.

    -- Likely the last rotation spot will be between Gonsolin and May, and they're both building up as possible starters.

    -- Kopech and Phillips will likely start the season on IL.

    excited to see dustin as a starter with his new compact delivery
    however, would be equally exciting to see him come out of the pen throwing as hard as he could for one inning

    re gonsolin
    imo he lacks may’s fire/intensity***





    *** fwiw, years ago i said the same thing about a (then) starter named eric gagne

    amazing stat/factoid of the day…
    • If Clayton Kershaw were to allow 139 earned runs before recording another out, he would still have an ERA under 3.00.

    Joey Gallo signed a minor league contract with the White Sox, and the only reason I'm even wasting my time typing this is to ask, how many more unproductive years does he need to have before accepting that he's finished? He hasn't had a relevant season since '21.

    The Dodgers want Dalton Rushing to focus on his development behind the plate, but he’s also taking ground balls at first base right now with the day’s workout complete. Dave Roberts said this week it’s TBD how much outfield work he’ll get after playing some LF last year.
