* reported on multiple twitterX feeds, so it doesn’t appear to be an april fools joke… @DodgersTailgate The Dodgers are acquiring LHP Jake Eder from the Nationals in exchange for cash. Eder, 27, has pitched in 9 MLB games posting a 4.87 ERA and 5.25 FIP. He has one remaining minor league option year left, according to Roster Resource. To make room on the 40-man, Jake Cousins was transferred to the 60-day IL.
One Jake for another. Cousins has better numbers, but if he's hurt, he's hurt. Plus, it's just money, so what's there to lose? Maybe Eder can be developed into a reliable lefty. Eder is from Vanderbilt. Kind of interesting how that school generates MLB-caliber pitchers. Buehler and Sonny Gray come to mind.
@TheHerd "Professional sports is the best of the best. If players can be demoted and managers fired, C.B. Bucknor cannot be a major league umpire."
^ more cowherd… @TheHerd @colincowherd says it's time to stop romanticizing baseball and acknowledge Ohtani is the best player in history. "If Ohtani was pitching back during Babe Ruth's day, I've got a feeling he would throw a no-hitter every outing!"
poor cb is having a rough week as you might imagine, some of the comments on twitterX are brutal and while i’ve been among the harshest of his critics, there’s no way i’d ever feel anything but terrible about a 62 y/o man getting drilled in the face with a baseball — mask or not @TalkinBaseball_ CB Bucknor got hit in the face mask by a foul ball and got helped off the field by trainers.

well deserved! guy is a solid reporter and definitely a dodger ally @noahcamras I'm super excited to announce that I am the new Publisher/Editor for Dodgers On SI, part of the Sports Illustrated network. I'm grateful for the opportunity to continue covering the Los Angeles Dodgers in their quest for a three-peat. Please follow along @DodgersOnSI!
@SnavelyCody6 Dodgers Notes 3/31 The Dodgers will consider using Justin Wrobleski in a starting role on the upcoming road trip. April 8th would be the first day they'd need a starter to pitch on 4 days' rest instead of 5. Roberts admitted that it does seem absurd to have Ohtani (a 4-time MVP winner) in the Cy Young race, but if anyone can manage the DH role and pitching, it's Ohtani. Roberts did admit health is the biggest factor for Ohtani in the Cy Young race and that the Dodgers have several guys who will also be in the conversation. The mention of Ohtani possibly batting second on days he pitches came up again, and it's something Roberts will keep an eye on as the season goes on. Roberts believes that Tanner Scott physically and mentally looks refreshed this season, which has contributed to his early success.
Here's my problem with Cowherd: he doesn't know fuck-all about baseball. The guy gets a chubby when he hears ANYTHING about the NFL, and that is what he discusses for half his show in the off-season. Nevermind that football is his topic 100% of the time from July to the Super Bowl. Maybe he's right ... it doesn't matter. He's an imbecile on 95% of sports that aren't football, & he makes me miss Lee 'Hacksaw' Hamilton, whose "best 20 minutes in sports news" was a daily listen from the late 80s until XTRA fired him in 05. As for Jim Healy on KMPC & KLAC over the decades... let's agree that Healy was the Ohtani of sports radio in his era.
@Dodgers · 30m The Dodgers claimed RHP Grant Holman from the Diamondbacks. In order to make room for Holman on the 40-man roster, the Dodgers transferred RHP Gavin Stone to the 60-day injured list.
healy was great never cared for hacksaw that much knowledgeable guy, no doubt just too much of a chargers/padres for me
Did anyone catch Cey as a NYC cop in "Q" ? Insane kind of a cult film about Quetzalcoalatus nesting in the Chrysler building. Gotta be quick and sharp, but he's in it.
@Jimfrombaseball "It is a joke. The game is becoming a freaking joke because of the nerds who are running it. These guys played rotisserie baseball at Harvard or wherever the fuck they went and they thought they figured the fucken game out. They don't know shit. A bunch of fucken nerds running the game. You can't slide into second base. You can't take out the fucken catcher because Posey was in the wrong position and they are going to change all the rules. You can't pitch inside anymore. I'd like to knock some of these fuckers on their ass. Ryan Braun is a fucken steroid user. He gets a standing ovation on Opening Day in Milwaukee. How do you explain that to your kid after throwing people under the bus and lying through his fucken teeth? They don't have anyone passing the fucken torch to these people. If I had acted like that, you don't go in that fucken dugout. There are going to be 20 fucken guys waiting for you." Goose Gossage. Baseball Ambassador. Legend!
