Bellinger unanimous NL Rookie of the Year
As a surprise to absolutely no one, Dodgers first baseman Cody Bellinger was the unanimous 2017 National League Rookie of the Year, as chosen by the Baseball Writers Association of America. The 22-year-old Scottsdale, Arizona native and son of three-time World Series champion Clay Bellinger follows (now) 23-year-old Dodgers shortstop Corey Seager, who was the 2016 NL […]
(Read More)Veterans Day Batting Practice a hit at Dodger Stadium
It began eight years ago and has become one of the biggest events held annually at Dodger Stadium – Veterans Day Batting Practice. “To watch these families come in, we have over 300 families, they’re veterans and active military,” explains Dodgers vice president of external affairs and community relations Naomi Rodriguez. “But it’s not just […]
(Read More)Brandon Morrow – Pay the man, Dodgers
As I was driving to Costco on Thursday afternoon to drop what would undoubtedly be a couple hundred bucks (plus another $1.50 for the obligatory hot dog), I was listening to MLB Network Radio, as I often do while in the car. Much to my surprise, the call-in radio guest for the show was Dodgers […]

The Dodgers have six players currently on the open market and they will more than likely want some of them back for at least one more campaign. One such free agent is 38-year-old second baseman Chase Utley. But is it really in […]
(Read More)State of the Dodgers message
In what was undoubtedly an unpleasant but necessary evil, Dodgers president of Baseball operations Andrew Friedman and general manager Farhan Zaidi met with a large gathering of reporters on Tuesday morning at Dodger Stadium for a post postseason Q and A session. “I’m not sure I’ll ever really get over it or the disappointment at […]
(Read More)Does a losing World Series matter to anyone?
The World Series is over but not forgotten. The postmortems and ‘what ifs’ continue as Dodger fans can only seemingly lick their wounds and baseball pundits look for reasons why the Dodgers failed to come away as the victors. Oh yes, and the call of the past has resurfaced – “Wait until next year.” For […]
(Read More)Spilled milk and tipped pitches
The Astros won the World Series and the Dodgers did not. That’s the bottom line (even if at the top of the page) and it does absolutely no good whatsoever to cry over spilled milk. As to be expected, within minutes of the final out being recorded in game-7 of what was arguably one of […]
