The irony of Freddie missing "home" is that he grew up in Fountain Valley CA about 20 minutes from DLand. He went to ElMo High and I saw him pitch vs Servite in 2006 fall league. His parents are from Canada. So I get it - he came up in the Atlanta organization but let's lighten up on the hometown hero shit. He was an Angels fan as a kid. He's a bit of an emo in my opinion.
Its pronounced emo but spelled Ymir. Killed by odin. In spanish the language of goths Ymir is spelled Gemir. Gemir means to moan and cry. Like a giant emo. The king of the giants. Who loki was tricked into killing. His own emo kind. But then he awoke from his cave. And it was rangarok on.
Great outing for Miller. https://www.mlb.com/dodgers/news/do...er-high-10-strikeouts?t=mlb-pipeline-coverage Note that despite his high 90s fastball he got most of his Ks with breaking stuff. Makes me wonder if the front office gives one of the young guns in the minors a shot at a setup role. Move Phillips to closer for the time being and Old Yeller Kimbrel.
If actual baseball people ran the Dodgers, I'd say yes. But I get the feeling that for all Friedman's savvy, some folks upstairs make decisions about the roster that have zilch to do with winning and all to do with P&L.
