It’s amazing how life comes full circle. My dad is a huge Dodgers fan and named me after Dusty Baker. Throughout the years I saw him and he was always nice enough to take the time to say hi. I told him one day I’d be down in the dugout with him. Somehow it actually happened.

I’m not even joking, the MLB needs to do a way better screening process of which umpires deserve to be behind the dish. The strike zone in this Dodgers Padres series has been an absolute travesty.

The Dodgers won 100 games in 2023. The Dodgers won 111 games in 2022. The Dodgers won 106 games in 2021. The Dodgers won 106 games in 2019. In 3 of the last 4 full seasons of play, the Dodgers have had 100+ wins & yet have been knocked out in the NLDS. That is unacceptable.

People on Twitter disgust me. The hashtag #RIP45 is supposed to pay respect to Tyler Skaggs who passed way too soon. Instead, people are using it as a joke to say they wish it meant Donald Trump had died. Take your politics out of this, it has no place here and it’s sickening.

The Dodgers are going to really miss having Trea Turner. I don’t know how you fill the void in the lineup he leaves and it’s tough considering he’s going to a team that will be a direct rival of LA in the playoffs. This is a brutal loss whether LA fans want to admit it or not.

Something that hasn’t been said that needs to: This series is proving just how valuable Clayton Kershaw is to the #Dodgers . The narrative is that he chokes. There’s a reason why he has the most career playoff K’s: goes deep in games and gives his team a chance to win every game.

Alabama lost. Their best win is Texas A&M. They will most likely not be in the SEC Title game. Therefore, they have no right to be in the playoff. There needs to be standards and I don’t care if they played a “good game” today. They still lost. Thanks for attending my TED Talk.

Thoughts on the #Dodgers future: - You can’t block kids who are good enough to play (Cartaya, Vargas, Busch, Pages) - Waiting for the Bauer saga to end is crucial - Shohei is clearly their target and they’ll write him a blank check - Roster flexibility is a good thing to have
