The best team – and manager – won

It has been well documented that in the eyes of many Dodger fans, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts is the primary reason why his team lost their second World Series in as many years. Granted, the 46-year-old Naha, Japan native and Dodgers third-year manager wasn’t the one out there pitching, batting and fielding, but he was solely responsible […]

Madson now a perfect 7-for-7 in World Series

Dodgers right-handed reliever Ryan Madson did something that every Dodger player only dreams of doing in the World Series, he is now 7-for-7.

Hi everybody and a very pleasant good evening to you…

“Hi everybody and a very pleasant good evening to you wherever you may be.” Arguably the greatest 14 words any Dodger fan ever heard.

Red Sox-8, Analytics-4

It’s probably safe to say that there wasn’t a Dodger fan on the planet who didn’t yell out “What’s he doing?” when Dodgers manager Dave Roberts removed right-hander Pedro Baez from Game-1 of the 2018 World Series in the bottom of the seventh inning.

Game-7? – No problem

As we all know, NLCS Game-7 was very important for Dodgers fans. In fact, it was important to baseball fans in general. It was  a win-or-go-home situation; effectively, a one game playoff that can make dreams … or shatter them.
