When Yasiel Puig did it, he got benched. When Cody Bellinger did it, he got benched. What happens to Andrew Toles for doing it remains to be seen, but it could very well mean a one-way ticket back to Oklahoma City, and this time Dodger fans may not object. The ‘it’, of course, is dogging […]

Dodger fans who were not yet born (or too young to remember) the Dodgers ‘improbable-impossible’ World Series win in 1988, missed what was unquestionably the single greatest sports memory in Los Angeles history. It occurred exactly 30 years after former Dodgers owner Walter O’Malley moved his iconic team from Brooklyn to Los Angeles, and it […]

If you had to sum up yesterday – Friday the 13th – in one word, “emotional” is a word that many Dodger fans would use. It began with anxiety when it was announced that 39-year-old / 16-year MLB veteran Chase Utley was going to hold an early afternoon press conference. It didn’t take rocket science […]

When the Dodgers signed right-handed reliever Brandon Morrow as a free agent on January 26, 2017, few – if any – Dodger fans knew who he was. But by the end of the 2017 season, he was arguably the most popular Dodger reliever not named Kenley Jansen. In fact, in the 45 games in which he […]

Prior to Wednesday night’s 4-2 win over the NL West last place San Diego Padres, it was announced that 28-year-old Dodgers right-hander Ross Stripling had been added to the 2018 National League All-Star team roster by MLB commissioner Rob Manfred. “We got everyone in [Petco Park’s visitors indoor batting] cage – pitchers, coaches, hitters – […]

The Striplings will join Diane Olivo-Posner, Principal Librarian, Los Angeles Public Library and Chaitali Gala […]

 City of Hope and the Los Angeles Dodgers will host their 10th annual ThinkCure! Weekend on July 14 and 15 to raise funds to support innovative cancer research and breakthrough therapies, many of which were developed at City of Hope. The 2018 campaign will give Dodger fans the opportunity to celebrate courageous cancer survivors and pay […]

On Tuesday, July 17, 2018, Major League Baseball will celebrate its 89th All-Star Game at Nationals Park in Washington, D.C. For the first time in eight years, Dodgers ace and future Hall of Famer Clayton Kershaw will not be there. Think about that for a second. The (now) 30-year-old Dallas, Texas native and Dodgers 2006 first-round draft pick […]

After setting a new franchise record for hitting the most home runs in a single month in June, and after starting July with every indication that they were going to at least remain relatively close to their torrid pace, the Dodgers bats have gone ice-cold.
