Leclerc is the only closer I can recall who basically had a scared look on his face at times. But he was pretty solid when the franchise needed him most in 2023. That said, in WS Game 5 when Bochy sent Sborz back out to finish the 9th, I basically jumped off my couch with joy.

Random question: anybody have the Dude Perfect giveaway Rangers jersey sitting around that they want to get rid of? Specifically looking for the white one with the black/teal trim. Need it as a quasi gag gift for our guys baseball trip this summer; going to Pittsburgh this year for Rangers/Pirates.

FanFest was a success.

Seager was only signing the cards he brought.
Semien was running 30 mins late so we passed.
Accidentally got Walcott to sign the 2024 AS ball I had for Semien. *shrug* lol.

They closed the line for Pederson before I could get there.

Left before Carter, Heim, Pudge, Elvis, and a couple others...

I ran out of balls, so that was good. Need to double check but got 2x:
Walcott, Leiter, Rocker, deGrom
Eovaldi, Garcia, Jung, Bochy

1x: Langford, Smith, and Taveras

I brought:
Pics - Langford, Smith
Card - Taveras

Provided by Rangers:
Cards - Bradford 2x, Seager 2x, Milner 2x

Good time.

ETA: deGrom balls, Taveras ball, and clean up

2025 Dodgers could possibly win 162 Games.

They'll probably walk away with it, but there's a part of me that would absolutely love it if they went about 78-84 after spending all that money.

They have a roster that has serious health concerns, much like our own, so anything is possible haha.

That's in the probably won't happen category, but it definitely wouldn't be the first time a high payroll team full of superstars tanked.

The amount of injury that would be necessary for the LAD to miss the playoffs would require a tragedy.

Here is what we're looking at from a rotation (my projection)
Snell (31): 20GS, 3.12 ERA, 104.0 IP, 145 SO, 1.048 WHIP, 12.5 SO9
Yamamoto (25): 18GS, 3.00 ERA, 90.0 IP, 105 SO, 1.111 WHIP, 10.5 SO9
Glasnow (30): 22GS, 3.49 ERA, 134.0 IP, 168 SO, 0.948 WHIP, 11.3 SO9
May (26): DNP in '24; 2023: 9GS, 2.63 ERA, 48.0 IP, 34 SO, 0.938 WHIP, 6.4 SO9
Ohtani (29): DNP in '24; 2023: 23GS, 3.14 ERA, 132.0 IP, 167 SO, 1.061 WHIP, 11.4 SO9

Sasaki (23): Japan: 18G, 2.35 ERA, 111.0 IP, 129 SO, 1.036 ERA, 10.5 SO9

Gonsolin (30): DNP in '24; 2023: 20GS, 4.98 ERA, 103.0 IP, 82 SO, 1.223 WHIP, 7.2 SO9
Stone (25): 25GS, 3.53, 140.1 IP, 116 SO, 1.211 WHIP, 7.4 SO9
River (25): 4GS, 1.33 ERA, 20.1 IP, 18 SO, 1.180 WHIP, 8.0 SO9 <-LAD #5 Prospect, just outside T100

There is some real injury risk throughout the rotation. They could insert Gonsolin as the #6 SP and their AAA could comprise of Stone, River, and Sasaki.

Give Sasaki the opportunity to adjust to America at AAA and pitch once per week like he is accustomed.
