My Blue Thoughts

EP 10.6The Dodgers go 3-4 this week, as they head into two showdowns this week, with the Padres and Giants. Dodger starting pitchers continue to go on the IL, and the bullpen continues to be overworked. Kim seems to be the real deal.

10.5Dodgers take the series vs the Yankees, despite having the pitching match ups that we unfavorable. Freddie Freeman and Will Smith are the top two hitters in the NL. Dodgers look to keep the momentum going against the Mets and Cardinals.

10.4The Dodgers are coming off a 5-2 road trip, and leading the NL West, despite being plagued by injuries. With so many injuries with the pitching staff, the bullpen is being overworked, and this cannot continue.

EP 10.3Dodgers were on fire, and now they are playing poor baseball. We discuss some of the reasons why this week.

EP 10.2The Dodgers are off to a 5-0 start, and they are getting contributions all over the line up. If it's not Shohei, it's Mookie. If it's not Freddie, it's Edman, or Teoscar. The pitching is deep, and the bullpen makes it even harder to score against the Dodgers in late innings. While there are sure to be hiccups along the way, this team seems destined to for greatness.

The Los Angeles Dodgers are the defending WORLD CHAMPIONS. After an amazing season in 2024, the Dodgers reloaded the best roster in baseball, and made it even better. With additions to the pitching staff, via free agency, and international signings, the Dodgers have a surplus of pitching. They also added to the offense. 2025 looks to be another exciting year of Dodger baseball, as the team looks to be the first repeat champions, since the Yankees in 2001.

The perfect way to cap the Dodgers 8th Championship was to get to be there at the stadium to celebrate with my fellow Dodger fans. LA turned out for the parade too. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/peter-sers/support

7.22 After a week of traveling, I'm back to discuss the state of the Dodgers. Walker is no longer coming back this season. Clayton isn't 100%, and the Dodgers are going to have to figure out how to piece together their post season rotation. They had two bad series against Atlanta and Florida, and looked better against the Nats. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/peter-sers/support

7.21 Mookie returns to Fenway, and reminds the Boston faithful what they are missing. The Dodgers continue their dominance of the NL West, and look to challenge the Braves for best record in NL.

7.20 The Dodgers wrap up the homestand by going 5-1 against the Brewers and the Marlins, despite having a last minute double header, on account of Hurrican Hilary. Nonetheless, the Dodger machine keeps moving forward, and have taken a commanding 11.5 game lead over the now second place Giants. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/peter-sers/support

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. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/peter-sers/support

7.17 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. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/peter-sers/support

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. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/peter-sers/support

7.15 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? --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/peter-sers/support

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. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/peter-sers/support

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? --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/peter-sers/support

Julio and May might be the best 1-2 punch in baseball, but what about 3-5?

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.
