It is probably safe to say that most Dodgers fans have never heard of Jamie Romak, but there is a pretty good chance that they just might within the next day or so. Romak is currently assigned to the Dodgers Triple-A affiliate Albuquerque Isotopes as a utility infielder, spending most of his time at third base. […]

It happens in baseball. In fact, it happens so often that most fans don’t even realize it or pay it little attention – giving up a home run on an 0-2 count. But it just doesn’t happen to Clayton Kershaw’s unhittable curveball – “Uncle Charlie,” “Lord Charles,” or as Hall of Fame broadcaster Vin Scully […]

When utility outfielder/first baseman Scott Van Slyke made the Dodgers 2013 playoff roster, Dodger fans were ecstatic. Why wouldn’t they be? On several occasions during the 2013 season the 27-year-old Chesterfield, Missouri native came up with huge clutch hits (usually pinch hits) that often led to Dodgers victories. Who can forget his dramatic walk-off home run on […]

It was a moment of indiscretion. The date was June 11, 2013 when Arizona Diamondbacks ace Ian Kennedy threw a 92 MPH fastball high and tight to newly arrived Dodgers superstar outfielder Yasiel Puig.

Don Mattingly’s last MLB appearance as a player was on October 1, 1995 with the New York Yankees. He hasn’t had a MLB plate appearance, fielded a regular season ground ball or taken a throw at first base since then. He was not a pitcher so he never threw a pitch in a major league […]

If Dodger fans were to rate Dodgers general manager Ned Colletti’s off-season acquisitions this past winter, it would be difficult not to put Dan Haren at the top of their list. It’s probably safe to say that no one expected the 33-year-old Southern California native to come out of the gate with a 4-0 record, especially as a […]

It is one of baseball’s oldest sayings: “This is a must-win series” – and it is usually reserved for the final weeks or even final days of the season, certainly not on May 8. But unfortunately there is another saying in baseball, one that the Dodgers best take to heart: “You can’t win a pennant in April, but […]

Remember back in spring training when many baseball experts and analysts predicted that the Dodgers would have one of the best bullpens in all of baseball, if not the best bullpen? How could they not when they have four guys who could be closers on any other team in the MLB. They have returning closer […]
