    NHL Fan Roll Call

    Favorite Team: LA Kings Favorite Player: Pavel Datsyuk Least Favorite Player: Corey Perry Favorite Hockey Moment: 2012 Stanley Cup final. Watching the team I've been invested in since I was probably 6 or 7 years old finally win a cup was amazing.

    Did Dave Roberts make the right decision?

    I've seen a few places that it was a hard pitch count from the front office before the game even started. I agree with it, put the kids future ahead of a no hitter.

    Padres set ML record for consecutive scoreless innings to start season.

    With as willing as Kansas and Tampa were to move him, it makes me believe the talk that he has an attitude problem and coaches can't get through to him. Might change as he gets older and spends more time with veteran guys, but he lost a lot of his development time being an asshole apparently.

    Padres set ML record for consecutive scoreless innings to start season.

    Previous record was 26 innings. Padres were shut out in their first 3 games of the season against the Dodgers, bringing them to 27 innings.

    MLB Gamethread: April 3rd-April 9th

    Greinke gets torched in his first game as a DBack, he is truly a Dodger. Going behind enemy lines to sink their ship. Way to take one for the team Zack!

    Prospect to watch for your team this season?

    Obviously Corey Seager, but if the rotation ends up short, look out for Julio Urias or Jose De Leon. Either could see call ups at some point this season especially if they are dealing at AAA.

    70 HR's or .401 AVG

    Getting on base almost half the time I would say is more useful and beneficial to the team than a guy who is straight power guy. Unless 70HR is also hitting 300, then we might have a different conversation.

    Mike Trout with current contract or the first overall pick in 5 straight years?

    With the position the Dodgers are in, Trout now. If they were in a rebuild, I would take the picks.

    Most important player to your teams success in 2016?

    I would say Kershaw. With Andersons injury, Kazmir's speed drop off this spring(although he looked good last night), and with Ryu and McCarthy coming off injuries, you are left with an unproven group of guys after that. If Kershaw struggles for an extended period, the rotation really becomes a...

    Rusney

    Send him to the Dodgers, he will blend in nicely with all of the other Cubans.

    Which Pitcher Would You Want Starting a Game 7?

    Similar to MadBum, he had that one postseason where he was untouchable, and people want to act like he is the greastest pitcher of all time. Yea he had a good postseason, but look at his body of work as a whole. He's a career over 3 ERA pitcher, and never had a truly dominating long length of...

    Which Pitcher Would You Want Starting a Game 7?

    If they didn't allow him to throw so many innings toward the end of the year it would probably be a different story. Not to mention Don Mattingly couldn't run a bullpen to save his damn life.

    Which do you prefer? Slugfest or pitchers duel

    A true pitchers duel where both guys are dealing, not a pitchers duel where it's 2 mediocre pitchers pitching OK, and the hitters are just off. There is just something about guys who are locating their pitches and getting good movement.

    If you could pick one team to go 0-162...

    Are we getting like a genie wish for a team to go 0-162? If so, the Cards just based on the fact that they acted like "the best fans in baseball" when the shit on twitter after Heyward left really spoke to that. Dodger fan in me says Giants because fuck them.

    Pete Rose and the HOF

    His gambling hasn't nothing to do with what he did on the field. The Hall Of Fame is not run by MLB, so it should be based on his accolades on the field. Oh you gambled on games but you have the most hits in league history? PED use is one thing, but gambling on baseball while putting up the...

    Should pitchers be allowed to win Most Valuable Player award?

    It's most valuable PLAYER. The pitcher plays the game, so yes, they should be eligible. Maybe the league needs a position player award, like maybe the Vin Scully Award.

    Rate your teams offseason

    Dodgers get a solid B. They didn't overpay to keep Greinke, they didn't overpay in FA, they added some really nice pieces through a couple trades, and didn't lose in any trade I feel like. I am a big fan of the new front office and their rebuilding of the minor league system. They also worked...
