I enjoy this show alot
No Mariachi Man??? Outrageous! But hey we need the best on the best team in baseball.
I would rather Kershaw would retire, give a youngster a shot. He is hurt alot . And not that effective anymore.
Roki Sasaki is the priority
I love talking and hearing about Dodgers baseball.
Kershaw is a living legend. We just can’t expect him to be what my friend John RIP used to call him K saw. He going to be the Best 5 or 6 starter in this rotation.
I think 1 or 2 year + 1 contract might be in the cards for Walker from the Dodgers. I also think they'll give him a player or mutual option. Considering all he's been willing to do for this organization over the years, I believe they really want to do right by him and let him decide mostly. I know he's not Kershaw, but I see him in a very similar light. I want him to be with the team, and I think he's given a lot to the team over the years. And frankly, I believe he wants to come back because the big games really seem to be all he lives for, and what better place to ensure you'll get those big games?
Do you guys want to go without shortstops?
