Several years ago after a particularly bad outing, Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw referred to it as “a clunker.” On Saturday night against the NL Central second place Milwaukee Brewers, the Dodgers lost a clunker. That’s the bad news. The good news, if you can call a 4-2 loss good news, is that it wasn’t Kershaw’s […]

While nearly all of the attention in Friday night’s 6-4 Dodgers win over the Milwaukee Brewers at Miller Park was on Dodgers superstar newcomer Manny Machado, and rightfully so, there was one almost insignificant at-bat that went completely under the radar for all but the most savvy of Dodger fan.

It was enough to draw 47,871 hearty souls through the turnstiles at Dodger Stadium on a (very) hot Sunday afternoon. But the highly anticipated mano a mano battle between future Hall […]
