Optioning Farmer unpopular with Dodger fans
June 21st, 2018 at 8:00 am by Ron Cervenka There is no other way to put it, when the Dodgers announced that they had optioned catcher / utility infielder Kyle Farmer back to Triple–A Oklahoma City less than 24 hours after his clutch, game-winning, pinch-hit, two-run double in game-1 of Tuesday’s doubleheader against the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field, it just plain sucked – […]

What’s With the Red Number on the Front?
June 19th, 2018 at 8:00 am by Evan Bladh Is there anything as close to the American flag as the Dodger uniform? It just has “good guys” written all over it. Almost as much as orange and black lettering on a vanilla background says “bad guys” all over it. Can there ever be any confusion about this? I can’t understand the thought process that would […]

Hill confident blister issues are behind him
June 18th, 2018 at 9:00 am by Ron Cervenka During his pregame media scrum on Sunday morning, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts confirmed that veteran left-hander Rich Hill will be activated from the disabled for his recurring blister issue and would make the start on Tuesday, June 19 against the Chicago Cubs at historic Wrigley Field. “Rich is lined up for Tuesday,” Roberts said. “Looks […]

Quakes win Cal League South first half title
June 17th, 2018 at 7:00 am by Ron Cervenka Much like the Dodgers themselves, the franchise’s Advanced Single-A affiliate Rancho Cucamonga Quakes got off to a slow start. In fact, they finished the first month of the 2018 season with an 11-14 record and, at one point during April, lost five in a row. Interestingly enough, however, is that 11 of those first 25 […]

Dodgers finally have a starting rotation that may actually rotate
June 16th, 2018 at 9:30 am by Ron Cervenka Quick … without looking it up, what was the Dodgers five-man starting rotation on May 1? How about June 1? Ok, how about June 15, which was yesterday? Obviously that’s a trick question, because after the first two weeks of the 2018 season, the Dodgers haven’t had a five-man starting rotation; at least not the same […]

Dodgers recall Kyle Farmer from OKC
June 15th, 2018 at 5:37 pm by Ron Cervenka The Dodgers have recalled catcher / utility infielder Kyle Farmer from the Triple-A Oklahoma City and placed right-handed pitcher Pedro Baez on the 10-day disabled list with right biceps tendonitis (retroactive to June 12). This will be Farmer’s second stint with the Dodgers this season after hitting .230 (14-for-61) with three doubles and six RBI […]

Dodgers top infield prospect Gavin Lux lands on DL
June 15th, 2018 at 12:00 pm by Ron Cervenka It’s one of those things that, unless you follow the Dodgers minor league affiliates closely, it pretty much flew under the radar. But if you are indeed one of those who do, it is akin to the Dodgers (heaven forbid) losing Justin Turner, or Max Muncy, or even Matt Kemp. During Tuesday night’s thrilling game […]

Wednesday night’s other highlight
June 15th, 2018 at 8:00 am by Ron Cervenka It’s hard to argue that Kiké Hernandez‘s game-winning run on what easily should have been the second out of the bottom of the 11th inning on Wednesday night against the Texas Rangers ranks right up there as one of – if not the – most exciting wins of the 2018 season thus far. It’s also hard to […]

Hill dominant in rehab assignment
June 15th, 2018 at 7:00 am by Ron Cervenka Pitching rehab assignments should always be taken with a grain of salt. After all, we’re talking about major leaguers pitching against kids who, for the most part, are all under 22 years of age and who have never seen major league pitching, except perhaps during spring training. But the simple truth is that a fastball […]
