You had to know it would happen. Within minutes of the news breaking on Twitter that oft-questioned (and seemingly oft-confused) Dodgers third base coach Lorenzo Bundy had been fired (in a Ned Colletti-sort of way) and had been replaced by former World Series champion third base coach (2002 Angels) and former NLCS manager (2011 Brewers) […]

(Note: This article was originally posted on July 9, 2013) I remember it as if it were yesterday – It was Sunday, December 9, 2012 and I was sitting in my car in the parking lot of my neighborhood Cold Stones enjoying a strawberry cheesecake ice cream listening to a replay of MLB Network’s ‘Inside Pitch’ with Casey […]

Ask any Dodger fan who the team’s best hitter is and more often than not they will answer Adrian Gonzalez – and with good cause. The 33-year-old Dodgers first baseman is hitting his 12-year MLB career average on the button – .292. He has also hit 24 home runs, which is only five shy of his […]

It’s happened before – the Dodgers make an acquisition that just doesn’t work out, but rather than just swallowing their pride (and often times a very large contract) and acknowledging that they made a mistake, the Dodgers front office and field manager “just keep running him out there until he gets through this thing,” as former […]

Question: When is a two-run inside-the-park home run not a home run but both runners score on the same play anyway? Answer: When it’s a double and both runners are awarded home on a two-base throwing error, of course.

The date was June 4, 2013 – Dodgers right fielder Yasiel Puig’s second day in the majors. On that day he would not only hit his first career major league home run but also his second and would set the world on a roller coaster ride of controversy of the likes never seen before in […]

Dodger fans undoubtedly remember this short video clip from the 1964 Academy Award winning film Mary Poppins staring Julie Andrews and Dick Van Dyke. But for those who attended Dodgers manager Don Mattingly’s post-game media conference after Monday night’s 8-3 pounding at the hands of the Washington Nationals, the same feeling that Bert (Van Dyke) had in the […]

When you look at the box score from Monday night’s rather dismal 8-3 Dodgers loss to the Washington Nationals at Dodger Stadium, you won’t see very many bright spots in the game – but there were a couple. Having lost everyday second baseman Howie Kendrick to a strained left hamstring the night before, Dodgers President of Baseball Operations […]

When the Dodgers acquired 27-year-old right-hander Mat Latos and 24-year-old left-hander Alex Wood at the July 31 trade deadline, they did so with hopes that the two experienced major leaguers would bolster the Dodgers rotation behind co-aces Clayton Kershaw and Zack Greinke and number three starter Brett Anderson. To make room for their two new […]
