Given how strong and healthy the Dodgers starting pitching was over the final two months of the regular season and into the postseason, it’s easy to forget some of the previous contributors waiting in the wings to return. Among those is River Ryan, who impressed in his brief major league debut in 2024. Ryan was […]

Many of you will likely remember Tim Blackwell, one of the typical “good field, no hit” catchers of the era. Blackwell usually sported a walrus mustache; that’s how I remember him. But as you can see in the photo at the top of this post, he wore a beard for a while as a Cub. […]

This winter, former Phillie Fernando Valenzuela will be considered for the Hall of Fame by the Contemporary Era committee. Of course, few people call him “former Phillie Fernando Valenzuela”, even though it’s technically an accurate description.

The highlight of Tyrone Taylor’s season was an absurd diving catch in centerfield, one where he ranged nearly 100 feet from right-center to left-center before going into a full extension dive to make the catch. Statcast inferred a 45% catch probability on that play, by I’m slamming the under on that. That play was also […]
