The Catch
Dodgers right-hander and 2018 NLCS Game-7 starter Walker Buehler said it best: “That’s going to go down as one of the biggest catches in this organization’s history, man.” Dodgers center fielder and 2018 NLCS MVP Cody Bellinger concurs: “That was the catch of the year.

(Read More)Machado gets last laugh as Dodgers advance to World Series
There is no one, absolutely no one, who condones what Dodgers shortstop Manny Machado did in Game-4 of the National League Championship Series last Tuesday when he intentionally kicked the foot of stretched out Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Jesus Aguilar during a routine ground out, causing both dugouts and bullpens to erupt into a near brawl.

(Read More)The puppeteers fail
If you ever wondered who actually runs the Dodgers, you certainly shouldn’t any longer.

(Read More)Thanks @redturn2, We needed that!
Although we may not like to admit it, social media – more specifically Twitter – is a pretty good barometer of emotions when it comes to Dodger fans.
