Don’t read this for a recap of how wonderful he was, go watch all the videos and keep watching these on repeat. What I want to talk about is how insanely good Kershaw was, not just for last night, not just for this year, not just this decade or era, but all time pitching performances… ever. Read this from Wikipedia: Game Score Game Score is a…
Baseball season is in full effect and I present to you a way to watch all the baseball you want guilt-free and at the same time get a very decent workout in that feels effortless. Here’s the problem: a typical baseball game is at least 3 hours long, and there are 162 regular season games played in the span of 182 days. Do the math…
Staying up till 1am? Check. Opening day lineup posted? Check. Lineup analysis? Here we go… Let’s start with who’s in and who’s out. The biggest thing to look at here is that Justin Turner gets the nod at second base. But what does that mean?

There’s always been one thing that has bothered me as a Dodgers fan: the lack of Dodger blue. Don’t get me wrong, our home white jerseys are one of the most (if not the most) classic, recognizable, and overall good-looking jerseys dating back to 1938.

So with that said, what is the opening day lineup going to look like? There are a lot of the same pieces returning, but…
It has been revealed earlier today that Clayton Kershaw and the Dodgers have extended our favorite pitcher’s contract to the tune of 7 years and $215 million. Yes, that’s the largest contract for a pitcher ever, yes that’s $30.7 million per year which is the largest annually for any player ever, and yes I am very happy with this deal. Let’s break it down, shall…
This season started with a line-up that was filled with IFs. IF James Loney could return to his .300 form and find his power… IF Andre Ethier could stay healthy and remain productive throughout the year… IF Matt Kemp could repeat his performance from last year… IF Juan Uribe could find his 2010 swing… IF Dee Gordon could step up and have a breakout year….
