My Blue Thoughts

7.18

The Dodgers go into San Diego, and take 3-4, and prove once again, there is NO "rivalry.'' While they didn't make any huge blockbuster trades this season, the trades they did make help the team, and they didn't have to give away any top prospects to do so. They remain in first place in the west, as they head into a week with matchups against the falling DBACKS, and the last place ROCKIES.

The Dodgers front office failed to land any big name players at the trade deadline, but the did make moves by adding Joe Kelly, Lance Lynn, and more. Eduardo Rodriguez turned down a trade to the Dodgers, and the Dodgers are going to have to get the most out of their players, if they are going to contend for another title.

7.16

The Dodgers offense is rolling on all cylinders! The bats were alive and well this week in Baltimore, and Texas. Freddie and Mookie continue to lead the charge, while JD, and Muncy have been very productive as well. The Dodgers continue a touch stretch in the schedule, facing Toronto, and Cinncinnatti, and look to build on the 4 game lead in the NL West.

The Dodgers have taken over first place in the NL West! Mookie is leading the charge, and Freddie is pretty close to him. The bullpen seems to have gotten some things figured out. With the Dodgers 2 games in front, and the trade deadline looming in less than two weeks, which candidates would be a good fit, and who would the team have to give up to acquire said trade candidates?

7.14

The Dodgers come out of the all star break tied for the NL West lead, technically ahead of Arizona in percentage points. On the back of MVP candidate Mookie Betts, and additional MVP candidate Freddie Freeman, the Dodgers have received contributions from almost everyone on the roster. While the starting staff has been decimated by injuries, the team still remains poised for another post season run, and with the trade deadline a couple weeks away, look for the front office to make some key acquisitions.

Dodgers suffer an embarrassing loss and series against the Royals. How did this happen? Dodgers need to make a trade. But for who? Do we Miss JT and Corey?

7.12

The Dodgers front office has lied to the fan base this year. The plan was never to compete for a WS this year. The plan was always to be "competitive," but not really compete for a title. The front office is mortgaging everything on the hopes the Dodgers can sign Ohtani. But is that a HUGE risk, at the cost of wasting another year?

7.11

The bullpen is an absolute dumpster fire. The starting rotation, minus Kersh, Gonsolin and Miller is below average at best. Is it time to make a trade?

7.10

The Dodgers are 4-6, 8-11, and have fallen to 1.5 games behind the DBACKS. Injuries have really plagued the Dodgers, but they are still inconsistent.
