Dodge ‘N’ Thru The Ravine

It was time for Dodger baseball again as the season finally got underway at Dodger Stadium. Weve waited all offseason to talk meaningful Dodger baseball and they did not disappoint.

With one day to go, we free style this episode giving our final thoughts on the Dodgers before the season begins.

This is it. Last words must be said. We go over the Dodgers projected 26 man roster and give our whole sale thoughts on the club to begin the year. As well as making predictions for the Dodgers ceiling and floor, with our 2023 World Series Winners.

Dave Roberts announced that James Outman will be on the Opening Day roster. It took long enough. The WBC came to an end in the most epic of ways. Whats next for baseball ? Julio Urias is rumored to be the Opening Day starter. Did the Dodgers get it right ? Los Angeles is listed as forbes second most valuable franchise. So wheres the money going ?

The Dodgers will begin the season without Tony Gonsolin. Someone is going to get a chance that otherwise wouldnt of. Who should it be ? Freddie Freeman is playing games. Everyone can breathe a sigh of relief. The World Baseball Classic has taken over mainstream news. Everyones watching and everyones loving it. Japan or USA ? Who takes the crown ? LA let Corey Seager and Trea Turner both walk. So whats their problem ?

All that and more. Be sure to stick around.

The Dodgers along with 29 other MLB clubs must make roster cuts through out Spring Training as we near Opening Day. Who were the biggest surprises ? The WBC got underway in a big way. The tournament is back and creating alot of excitement. What do we think of it all ? Trevor Bauer will be payed by the Dodgers this season. 22 million that is. For now hell be pitching in Japan. Will he ever throw another pitch in the Major Leagues ? Chris Taylor and JD Martinez are the notable Dodgers cold this Spring. Whats our panic meter ?

Miguel Vargas is entering his rookie season. Hes a top 3 ROTY pick. Will he live up to the hype ? The Dodgers have been in the playoffs 10 consecutive years. They have one short season title to show for it. So whats my concern ? Ryan Pepiot debuted last year and struggled with command. Is he now commanding he gets a roster spot opening day ?

The Dodgers have an abundance of Outfielders. James outman might be the best of them outside of Mookie. The rookie is looking to break camp with the Dodgers. But does he have a spot ? Tony Gonsolin was in the headlines. He rolled his ankle in the backfields. How big of a loss is it if hes out for an extended period of time. Can he go deep in games like he wants to ? Noah Syndergaard continues to impress. Whats his ceiling ?

The Dodgers lost Gavin Lux and are scrambling to find a solution. Enter Miguel Rojas. Miguel has played the last 8 years with Miami starting consistently the past few years. But this is LA. Walker Buehler has begun throwing since TJ surgery. Can he make it back in 2023? What about Hudson ? Will he back by Opening Day ? Syndergaards velo was down. He talked himself up but the velo didnt. Are we concerned ?
