It’s no secret to anyone that after this season the Dodgers will have a long-term void to fill at third base. Granted, they will still have Juan Uribe on the books through the 2015 season (to the tune of $6.5 million), but in all likelihood, the (then) 36-year-old will be utilized more as a utility […]

Between July 11 and September 18, 1924, 33-year-old Brooklyn Dodgers pitcher Dazzy Vance set a franchise record when he won 15 consecutive games in a single season en route to his remarkable 28-6 season, for which he received the first-ever National League MVP Award. Vance would go on to have an outstanding career that would […]

*  *  *  Updated: July 19, 2014  *  *  * There is no kind way to put it, Dan Haren is the Dodgers’ weakest link – the fans know it, the Dodgers know it and even Dan Haren knows it. “The results were terrible,” said Haren after losing to the San Diego Padres in his […]

Dodgers co-aces Clayton Kershaw and Zack Greinke pitched exactly as Dodger fans expected them to in the 2014 All-Star Game at Target Field in Minneapolis, MN on Tuesday evening – both retiring the three batters they faced in order with Kershaw striking out one and Greinke two. Dodgers second baseman Dee Gordon not only showed […]

It was bad enough that Cardinals manager Mike Matheny snubbed the best pitcher in the National league (and all of baseball) from starting the 2014 All-Star Game and instead let his guy start, but now it is being widely reported that his guy “threw” the game – literally and figuratively. Those who watched Tuesday night’s Summer […]

Ceremonies will be held on the field to honor the 2014 inductees prior to the Nippon Professional Baseball All-Star Game at Seibu Dome in Tokorozawa (near Tokyo), Japan. Chan Ho Park will receive recognition during retirement ceremonies prior to the Korean Professional Baseball […]

With the 2014 edition of the MLB Home Run Derby now behind us, many fans are undoubtedly curious as to how the new format was perceived by those who stuck it out through the 45 minute rain delay. Please feel free to add comments below.  

To say that Dodger fans were disappointed with Yasiel Puig’s Home Run Derby performance last night would be a gross understatement. In fact, his lightening fast elimination in the first round had Twitter buzzing immediately after his seven and out/three minutes of infamy (if it was even that long) begging that no Dodger ever be allowed […]

Perhaps it should come as no surprised that the guy who finished second in the 2013 World Series (i.e. – the loser) selected the second best pitcher in the National League to start the 2014 All-Star Game tomorrow night at Target Field in Minneapolis. Granted, as the manager of the National League All-Star team it […]

With major league baseball now enjoying its all-to-brief All-Star break (brief except for baseball fans, that is), there are some pretty compelling numbers when it comes to the Dodgers starting rotation. First and foremost is the most obvious – the Dodgers starting rotation has more wins than any other team in all of baseball with 46. Their nearest […]
