He’s done it again. Dodgers right-hander Ross Stripling lowered his already team-best 2.08 ERA among all Dodgers starters to an incredible 1.68, when he gave his teammates (and exhausted bullpen) seven strong  innings on Wednesday night in front of a Dodger Stadium crowd of 43,302. In doing so, the 28-year-old Bluebell, Pennsylvania native picked up […]

After a couple of previous false alarms, ThinkBlueLA has learned that Dodgers top right-handed pitching prospect Dennis Santana has been called up to the Dodgers, although there has (again) been no official announcement from the team. While this is great news for fans of the extremely popular 22-year-old San Pedro de Macoris, Dominican Republic native, it […]

Great people. I’m not talking about people who are great because the have discovered, invented or did great […]
