My Blue Thoughts

EP 7.8 The Dodgers are back atop the NL West, and also have the best record in the NL. Through a combination of great pitching and timely hitting, the Dodgers swept the Padres, and have won 10/12, 9 in a row at home, and beat the Padres in a series for the 11th time in a row.

EP 7.7 The Padres prove once again, why their front office an fan base, are absolute trash.

EP 7.6 The Dodgers finish a 4-2 by sweeping the Cardinals. There are still some question marks surrounding the rotation and line up, but help is on the way.

EP 7.5 James Outman is an early season ROY candidate. Mookie is a winner. Kershaw is the GOAT, and Muncy can't stop hitting home runs. The Dodgers take 3/4 in Chicago vs the Cubs, and look to stay hot as they take on the red hot Pirates.

7.4 Cody returns to LA, and gets a warm reception. Max Muncy, Giant killer. The Dodgers are playing like an average team, but is that unnacceptable?

EP 7.3 After 10 games, and a very bad series loss vs the DBACKS, the Dodgers find themselves at 5-5 after 10 games. Is it time to panic? Or is it still too early? Julio and May might be the best 1-2 punch in baseball, but what about 3-5? Dodgers have a lot of questions that need to be answered over the next few weeks.

Ep 7.2 Peter recaps the Dodgers first week, giong 4-2. Starting pitching seems to be a major strength on this team, and so is outfield depth.

7.1 After a disappointing end to the season last year, the 2023 version of the Dodgers looks a little different. Familiar faces are gone, new faces have replaced the old faces. The Dodgers are relying more on rookies this year, than in years past. The Dodgers aren't the favorite in the NL West this year. The Dodgers have a lot of questions to answer this year, and it all begins today.

2022 RECAP In the season, and possible series finale, Peter recaps the Dodgers 2022 season. From over analytics, to failing to hit with RISP, the 2022 will go down as one of the biggest disappointments in sports history. 

EP 6.27 The Dodgers will face the Padres in the NLDS for the second time, in the last three years. The Dodgers will have home field in this series, and every series they play in this season. Dodgers have been relaxing, and getting guys healthy, while the Padres had to travel across the country to face the Mets. We break down the head to head matchups and discuss what the Dodgers need to do to adva...

EP 6.26 This week, Peter discusses his recent trip to San Diego to watch the Dodgers play the Padres. Freddie is closing in on a batting title, and Julio is closing in on the ERA title. The Dodgers are at 110 wins, and counting. 

EP. 6.25 The Dodgers are one win away from setting the all time franchise record for wins in the regular season. Clayton Kershaw is better than Sandy Koufax. Pujols gets a standing O as an opponent in Dodger Stadium, and the pitching staff continues to be hampered by injuries. 

EP 6.24 In this episode, Peter reminisces about all the amazing Dodger playoff/World Series moments he's witnessed over the years. From Limas shutout in 04, to Muncy's walkoff in 18, and so many more. As the regular season draws to a close, and we look ahead to what lies ahead in the playoffs. It shouldn't be lost, how successful this team has been over the last decade. 

6.23 The Dodgers have clinched their 10th straight post season appearance. A small feat, considering what the ultimate goal is. The Dodgers take 2-3 from both SF, and SD, while also eliminating the Giants from winning the west again. 

EP 6.22 This week we recap the Dodgers 4-3 week. The Dodgers have the sole purpose in mind of securing home field advantage, and staying healthy. Dustin May has a rocky start, Urias is a Cy Young candidate, and Jerry Hairston makes a bold declaration for Cody. 

6.21 The Dodgers are firing on ALL cylinders! 88-38, 50 games above .500, with 36 left. 19.5 games ahead of the Padres, 6.5 ahead of the Mets for best record. With Dustin May back, and Kershaw coming back this week, the Dodgers will go to a 6 man rotation, to give their starters extra rest, as they prepare for October. 

This week, I give a recap of my trip to see the Dodgers in Kansas City, as well as my trip to the Negro Leagues Museum. I also discuss the return of Dustin May. 

The Dodgers win streak ends at 12. Sadly, there will probably be other games they lose this season, as well. This week, Dodgers play by play announcer Tim Neverette returns to the show. Tim and I discuss his book COVID CURVEBALL, and he sheds some more light on how it all came together. We also talk about the Dodgers chances in the World Series, and Tim shares his thoughts on who the Dodgers REAL...

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.
