Hello All
Longtime viewer of this group, love the posts from real Dodger fans.
Have been a lifelong fan myself since the days of transistor radios and Vin Scully fading in and out at night trying to hear the games from SF Bay Area....
Greetings from the Great Northwest
Giving credit to Chris Paddock :
In his post game interview he was very humbled and gave credit to a great lineup. I don’t think with his stuff he will have many days like this.I have thought for awhile the Padres are very close to being a very good team and this season proves they are more than close.I am not laughing at them anymore.
With the farm system they have in place it will not be fun to play them at any point in the next 5 years.
I also am glad we spent our money on Mookie and NOT Manny.
Some thoughts:
I do love what we have in our pen.Even though Alexander had a bad outing he has been pretty good.I don’t always agree with Roberts with his by the Joe Torre book strategy for sure.Almost never at times.However with what we have now I think we can say it is almost impossible for him to screw things up.
Which Also brings me to the point about Jensen.I Like others here do not feel he is closer material any longer.All this talk about adding velocity and better conditioning? I see an overweight guy with iffy stuff.I always felt he was luckier than actually great.Better lineups will expose him.
The last comment is I regret the fans are not seeing Mookie show what type of player he is.
