Like this guy, who jumped ship and gave up on April 15th.... LOL!! jeremyv98 All Star *** Posts: 145 Apr 15, 2018 at 9:27am Do you see the Dodgers winning the World Series even after their start? The Dodgers are missing Turner but Arizona is also missing Jake Lamb. The NL West competition has definitely gotten better. The Dodgers matched their worst 13 game start since moving to LA. I'm sorry, but how does that quote prove this guy "jumped ship"? Am I missing something here? Seems like you're trying to pile on there.

Not piling on. He did jump ship on April 15. You were right there also as I recall.

Koufax' best pitch was his curve, even though he threw as hard as anyone. Kershaw's best pitch has NEVER been his fastball. Not in the majors anyway. Your oblivious. I didn't say it was his best pitch. I said he has pitched off his fastball. That is true. Say differently and you are oblivious. He has adjusted the way he has pitched early this year. This discussion reminds of some of the comparison between Warren Spahn and Sandy. Seeing Koufax in Brooklyn and here in LA and I don't think of him of just him having just one best pitch, but more so two pitches that REALLY complemented each other like "Salt and Pepper" does while preparing a meal, although he did have a three dollar change-up he'd and Rosey would sneak in every now and then. Koufax's long fingers of his really made that ball break, if not sink (straight drop), late, deceptive and most of all, EVIL. Meanwhile, his 4 seam fastball came rising right out of hell, like an aspirin tablet, and that was the "Controlled" version when he took something off. If any today doubts his fast ball...game 7 of the 1965 World Series would make anyone a believe, Koufax, double digits in strike outs with just one pitch against a formidable hitting Twins; Oliva, Killebrew, and Zoilo Versalles to name a few, one of the greatest "gut" pitching performance I every seen. Just my take!

Bulldog how you feeling right now? Are you as confident now as you were going into the season? There is plenty of time to change things around I agree but when are they going to start doing so? I have read they are not panicking. Whatever they have done so far they need to quit. So if they weren't panicking now is a good time to start. 8-9 record now. And they didn't need to panic after just 2 weeks of baseball. Go figure... Baseball is not like football. Get it now?

Rich Hill also hasn't performed very well in the early going. Hope it has to do with the cracked nail? The 14 inning game I went to in Frisco he had issues locating his pitches. He grooved a few of them to the wrong people. For Jansen to start and Kershaw to continue to succeed they will need even better control than they needed previously unless the velocity returns.

Did this last season also during spring training and made a fool out of himself and still won't admit he is wrong. He has never been wrong according to him. The athlete said word for word what I said I feared and things played out just as I said I feared they would but he is still perfect just like the lord.

Who said I don't like you? And once again the WBC did not cause Agon's injury last year, that is proven. You really want to go there again? You were dead wrong then, and dead wrong now. Are you finished with your panic attack about the season? It's still mid April.

When a pitchers velocity drops (as it does for all pitchers) they need better control? Holy obvious statement Batman!!!!!
