    Good question. Every year that Nuke LaLoosh doesn't get in just diminishes the Hall's legitimacy.

    On a non-HOF related topic, I enjoyed the Nolan Ryan documentary. As a child I caught him on the tail end of his career so all of his early-to-mid career accomplishments were a real eye-opener.

    2022 MLB Season

    Dodgers, Lakers, Yankees, etc. are all teams whose fans travel well, and who have significant fanbases in cities outside of their own. Even if the geographic lockdown works on the primary sales, that won't stop the second-hand market (which let's be honest, is what happens to a lot of these high...

    As a kid in NorCal I grew up watching Rickey Henderson swipe bases. I remember Vince Coleman being lightning around the base paths. One of the most disappointing things with the current all-or-nothing approach to offense that had slowly taken over MLB over the last decade or so was the loss of...

    Dodger fans got some good news with Dustin May's return from Tommy John surgery today.

    Just looking at that video (FLA/LAD) and assuming that FLA is like most every MLB franchise and communicates the plan for the infielders, it's seems to me that there was a judgment call in place. If: the ball is sharply hit to an infielder and a double play can be turned, do so. In that case...

    It's ironic given how much criticism Jansen got during his last few years here.

    Obviously over the last couple of days the Scully tributes are pouring in all over L.A. and in many parts of the country. Everyone by now has seen his most famous calls (Gibson HR in 88, Koufax perfect game, The Catch (49ers), etc.). All iconic moments to be enshrined in sports memory. But if...

    I have never seen such an extended (2 1/2 year!) slump. In fact when you look at his career stats, I'm not sure it would qualify as a slump anymore. He's been in the slump as long as he was "good". I don't know what's wrong with him but I've seen slumps of weeks, heck in rare cases months. But 2...

    I moved to LA for college in 1991, and listened to him until his retirement in 2016 (I'm sure I'd caught some of his nationally televised games as a child, as well as the 1988 World Series when I was in the northern part of the state). So I had the good fortune of hearing his voice for 25 years...

    Of course it doesn't help that I was raised by the voice of Vin Scully. Kind of an unfair bar to hold others against. But they truly were terrible.

    Technically that was the second week of broadcasting for Apple. I didn't watch week 1. A buddy did. When I texted him how horrible the Dodgers booth was (he was watching) he said the previous week's games were even worse. Yikes. Although if you're a glass half full kind of person you could say...

    Thanks David. That makes the package tempting. Not a big enough fan that changing between games is an issue. Just follow the Dodgers and those games are primarily what I’ll watch. I watched them on Apple TV+ last Friday. Holy heck their broadcasters are horrible.

    Not sure if this is the correct place to ask this question. I cut the cord this year. Just wasn't worth paying Spectrum a metric butt-ton of money for almost no ROI. When I had housemates and split it 3 ways it was fine but I'm not going to carry that stone by myself. I am looking at the...
