No sense in going into last night disaster at Dodger Stadium – what can I say that hasn’t already been said. However, there were a couple of positives from the game, albeit not many.

Brian Wilson – Crazy like a fox
We knew it long before the Dodgers signed him on July 30, 2013 – former Giants closer Brian Wilson is… well… different. But don’t let the disguise fool you (okay it’s not a disguise, that’s what he really looks like) – Wilson is crazy like a fox. In other words, he is extremely smart but […]

There are sabermetrics for just about everything in the game. If you want to know Carl Crawford’s stats against left handed pitchers in the 6th inning of games played in 75 degree weather or higher on 2-2 counts with Joe West behind the plate, I’m pretty sure there is a stat geek out there that […]

With the news that Dodgers left-handed pitching prospect Onelki Garcia’s had been called up to the Dodgers earlier today, Dodger manager Don Mattingly said that his role will be one of protection for his bullpen. “We need to make sure we have enough protection for Paco (Rodriguez) and J.P.

(Read More)Dodgers release 2014 preliminary schedule
It always seems that when the Dodgers are doing poorly Dodger fans can’t wait for next season’s schedule to come out and when they are doing well (or even great, as they are this season), it seems much less a priority. That being said, when you’ve got a winning team, or even a championship-caliber team, […]
