    Sounds about par for the course...a guy who hardly ever gets injured will of course, having reached the Dodger event horizon age, will now be as injury prone as the rest of the brittle roster. From now on. SNAP!
    Book it.
    This is shaping up to be sooome fucking year, boyos...what hath God wrought ?

    I know it's just spring training. I know that the smart veterans use it to experiment with their swings, tweak their stances, work on timing, and generally make adjustments. Still, it doesn't give me a whole lot of confidence to see JD, JHey, and Peralta all below the Mendoza line. Two weeks to go... they'd better figure it out soon. That goes for CT too.

    Side note: I hate that talking about Peralta is even a thing. Still don't understand that signing.

    This season, I'm going to watch how the media portrays Roberts' effectiveness. We all know how praise has been heaped upon him year-after-year for the division wins. Clearly, there must have been some grade-A management taking place for the team to do that well, despite the stacked roster. Forget that other managers did more with less, like old Melonhead in SF, who led inferior teams to not one, but three championships. So here's what I want to know: Will Roberts be held to that same standard with an arguably weaker roster? If the Dodgers come up short, will he get the blame, or will the media then make excuses on his behalf - no Trea Turner, starting pitchers left, Gavin Lux injury, other teams signed more big names, or other obstacles that come up during the season? Because it has to go both ways - if roster talent is discounted when giving a manager props for amassing wins, then lack of roster talent needs to be discounted and the manager blamed if the wins don't come at the same clip.

    Front and center, the opportunity to guide the "aguably diminished" on several fronts 2023 LA Dodgers team, is here. Now...
    Time to prove his ability to manage a past championship team that doesn't have the league leaders up and down the roster like it did in his multiple past mediocrity.
    Time to turn his sometimes sophomoric statements about the team/ players/guaranteed championships into something real for the fans, instead of just an always will be tainted one.
    It's like the Dodgers are the living embodiment of " better to love and lost than to never have never loved at all".
    But, I have no delusions about what he can do. No delusions about "enough is enough... try another leader" come away by the FO.
    I loved Alston, but the fact that he lasted 2 1/2 decades with the team is actually not a hopeful sign for Doc being gone. Not in this Woke diet we have to eat...no homo.
    It used to be the Yankees that took it all away from the Dodgers, year after year. They were just too damn good.
    Damn Yankees, for sure.
    Now, it's everybody else.
