    Mark Walter’s Gordian Knot: The Deferrals (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Breaking down the Mark Walter investigation story. Today, a reintroduction and analyzing salary deferrals. Trying to understand the ongoing financial morass that is the Mark Walter Investigations story is a bit like trying to untangle the Gordian Knot, the literal knot of antiquity whose legend prophesied that whoever untangled it would rule all of Asia. Alexander the Great literally cut the knot with his sword, demonstrating lateral thinking, and the story is instructive on how to present info

    The doomsday scenarios (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Or How I learned to stop worrying and love the 2026 postseason For the record, this essay is emphatically not a prediction. Nor is it an exercise in pointing out the obvious flaws of a team that ultimately went on to win a World Series, forcing me to cook duck and creating the ability to cause generational drama in the Bronx by simply uttering the phrase “Fifth inning.” There’s bean footage, and then there is bean footage. For the record, you can see the original title I gave that infamous 2024

See our ethics statement. As the Dodgers embark on their final series of the regular season, let us revisit the last series where both the Dodgers won and Shohei Ohtani had an RBI, which happened to be with my mother in Denver. We’ve had a lot of fun this year, and the campaign flew by. Before I knew it, it was over. I’m

    Analyzing Chaos (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    The Dodgers clinched in Cincinnati on Thursday. Meanwhile, chaos reigns elsewhere. We recently asked whether Dodgers fans had a preference as to which playoff seed (between top and second) they preferred. Overwhelmingly, the easier path on paper looks to be through the second seed. For most of the year, no one would have questioned this logic. However, as September has unfolded, an interesting wrinkle has become possible, if unlikely, involving both Chicago baseball teams. At first, I only notic

    Tale of two outfielders (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    The Dodgers’ corner outfield play has generally been bad this year. Teoscar Hernández seems to have figured it out. When our Social Media Manager, Lindsay Adams, asked after the Trade Deadline how we thought the team did, I could only say the following: The team didn’t do enough. Hold onto your butts! Granted, the team traded for Tarik Skubal, which would not have been my choice, even though he’s been fine since arriving in Los Angeles. I would have gone after Cincinnati Reds’ hurler Hunter Gree
