Mention the name Maury Wills around any longtime Dodger fan and the very first thing that comes to their mind are the 104 bases that he stole during the 1962 season to set a then MLB record. Wills’ record would stand for 12 years until broken in 1974 by St. Louis Cardinals Hall of Fame outfielder […]

When the Dodgers announced their starting lineup three hours prior to Saturday’s game against the defending World Series champion Houston Astros, two things absolutely jumped out at you. Noticeably missing from their starting nine were their two hottest hitters, outfielder Joc Pederson and catcher Yasmani Grandal. Pederson, as you undoubtedly recall, led off the two […]

The Dodgers have placed left-hander Alex Wood on the 10-day disabled list for left adductor tendonitis and reinstated left-hander Zac Rosscup from the 10-day DL. Wood, who was brilliant in his start on Friday night against the World Series champion Houston Astros at a sold out Dodger Stadium opposite right-hander Justin Verlander, was removed from the game as […]

If you weren’t yet in your seat when Dodgers left fielder Joc Pederson led off the bottom of the first inning of Friday night’s game between the defending World Series champion Houston Astros and the World Series runners-up Los Angeles Dodgers, you missed the entire sum and total of the Dodgers offense. After a scoreless […]

When the Dodgers began play against the Milwaukee Brewers on Thursday evening at Dodger Stadium, they were tied for first place atop the National League West division with the Arizona Diamondbacks and one game ahead of the Colorado Rockies. When the game ended three hours and 42 minutes later, they stood alone in first place […]

It took all of two at-bats for new Dodgers second baseman Brian Dozier to: A) Prove he belongs here, and B) Immediately win over the hearts of Dodger fans everywhere. All the 31-year-old Tupelo, Mississippi native and Minnesota Twins 2009 eighth-round draft pick (out of the University of Southern Mississippi) did in his Dodgers and Dodger Stadium debut […]

Over the past three days the Dodgers have garnered a grand total of three runs on only nine hits which, of course, is why they have now lost three consecutive games and five of their last 10. As a result, and after being shutout by the National League Central second place Milwaukee Brewers on Tuesday […]

The Dodgers have acquired second baseman Brian Dozier from the Minnesota Twins in exchange for infielder Logan Forsythe and minor leaguers Luke Raley and Devin Smeltzer. Dozier, 31, appeared in 104 games with the Twins this season batting .224 with 21 doubles, 16 home runs and 52 RBI. The Mississippi native ranks among Major League […]

Suffice to say, the home debut of newest Dodger Manny Machado did not go as planned. Oh sure, you can fluff it up by arguing that he did hit his first home run at Dodger Stadium with one out in the bottom of the ninth inning. But by then nearly all of the Manny Machado welcoming […]

It’s one of those ridiculous nonsensical proverbs that we’ve all heard dozens of times throughout our lives: ‘Close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades.’ Throwing a no-hitter is a big deal. Coming close to throwing a no-hitter is not. After all, a no-hitter isn’t horseshoe or hand grenades. You either throw a no-hitter, or […]
