AEW Champion

Notre Dame = 2025 National Champions
Yoshinobu Yamamoto got lit up like a Christmas tree this morning. And Shohei Ohtani appears likely to have been involved in some way, shape or form with under-the-table illegal gambling.

That's a shame... Very curious to see what becomes of this Ohtani thing, heard talk of a federal investigation...
 
Betts, Freeman, Ohtani is the answer. Get a guy on base for Shohei. Simple. Not that I care. He can keep hitting solo shots as far as I care.

LOL. Go check out the 2023-2024 Free Agency thread when they signed him. You praised the Dodgers for using their money wisely, and I mocked them for wasting money on an old, injury prone, mediocre pitcher.

I told you this months ago, but you blindly defended your Dodgers. Said they could "develop" a 36 year old pitcher who has been on many teams. LOL.

Didn't he go 8-2? I don't think the development part was far fetched. Plus, they needed a lefty starter.

Now, that Glasnow and Kershaw will be available this week, unfortunately for Paxton, he was odd man out

Sure, with an ERA around 4.50 and WHIP around 1.5 -- Terrible. Lucky for him he got just about the top run support in the MLB, 6.8 runs per game. If he was good, the Dodgers would keep him.

Do you remember when I said low risk, high reward? Yep, his ERA/WHIP wasn't the greatest, but .800 pct after 10 decisions cut the cheese.

Bottom line, upper management can forget more about running a franchise than we'll ever know

Again, W-L is a team stat, not a pitcher stat. The offense clearly won those games. Not the schlep with a 1.5 WHIP.

It is much easier to run a franchise with an unlimited budget. You can make $12M mistakes and your know-nothing fans give you credit for trying.

Tell the 300+ Winners in the HOF

A couple bad outings distorted his stats a bit

Not the Dodgers fault they can make $12 million "mistakes." It's a well ran Organization that understands to make $ you have to spend $. Not to mention a passionate fan base that draws 3 million + fans. Advocate passionate fans instead of drawing Richard
