My Blue Thoughts

This weeks episode, I pay tribute to the late great Vin Scully. Vin was such an important figure in my life, and is largely responsible for my love of baseball. In this episode I pay homage to the greatest announcer of all time, and honor my other grandpa, Vin Scully. We were all lucky to have him. 

Dodgers call up James Outman, and he has himself a DAY!! Dodgers have the highest winning percentage in baseball. Dodgers make a trade, could there be more?

Dodgers come out of the All Star break, and pick up right where they left off, by sweeping the Giants in a four game series. Mookie is back to being a top 5 player, Cody Clutch comes through, and the trade deadline is a little over a week away. 

The Dodgers went into the All Star Break with a 60-30 record, and 10 games ahead of the Padres. While the team still isn't quite firing on all cylinders, they did end on a 14-2 run. Gonsolin and Anderson have been huge surprises, Clayton is the GOAT. And will the Dodgers land Soto?

All Star rosters are set, and there are four Dodgers named to the team. Which pitcher should start? Tony or Clayton? The Dodgers are 55-29, on a seven game winning streak, and still aren't playing their best baseball. 

This week, Peter discusses his recent trip to Oklahoma to see the AA Tulsa Drillers, and AAA OKC Dodgers. He also discusses recent Dodger injuries, and what they may do, moving forward. 

EP 6.12

The Dodgers have a 5-1 week, as the sweep the Reds and take 2/3 against the Braves. Freddie was emotional in his return to Atlanta, Gonsolin has been a Godsend. The Dodgers, have the best starting staff in baseball, despite injuries, and Peter shares his experience visiting Great American Ballpark.

Even though the Dodgers went 3-2 last week, their performance was sub par. They will look to bounce back and get right against the Reds and Braves, two completely different teams. Mookie goes down, adding to the piling list of guys on IL. Gonsolin has continued to be a bright spot. 

This week, we discuss the Dodgers recent struggles, and how unacceptable it is for the Dodgers to get swept by the Giants. We also discuss my recent visit to the Windy City, to see the Dodgers play the White Sox, and we also spend some time discussing my recent trip to Milwaukee. 

EP 6.9

The Dodgers complete another 4 game sweep of the DBacks! Thanks to a great pitching performance by Tyler Anderson (6-0, 2.90 ERA), and some timely hitting, the Dodgers continue to distance themselves from the rest of the NL West. Mookie is playing like an All Star and an MVP, and even though several Dodgers are on the IL, their depth is shown by guys like Rios, Anderson and Gonsolin stepping up.
