(Updated: July 9, 2018 at 4:00 pm PT) The moment – the very millisecond – that Dodgers right fielder Yasiel Puig doubled over in pain after fouling off a 92-mph sinker from Angels left-hander Andrew Heaney, there was zero doubt whatsoever that the 27-year-old Cienfuegos, Cuba native was headed for the disabled list.

Dodgers yank defeat from jaws of victory
July 7th, 2018 at 8:00 am by Ron Cervenka The Dodgers played eight innings of very intense, competitive baseball on Friday night against the AL West fourth place Angels of Anaheim at Angel Stadium.

Rancho Cucamonga Quakes – the Dodgers’ other great team
July 5th, 2018 at 3:30 pm by Ron Cervenka It’s certainly understandable that nearly all of the buzz among Dodger fans over the past month and a half has been about Max Muncy, Matt Kemp, Cody Bellinger, Joc Pederson, and the rest of the homer-happy Dodgers offense.

The scene of the crime
July 5th, 2018 at 8:00 am by Ron Cervenka Dodger fans at or watching Wednesday’s game between the Dodgers and Pirates at Dodger Stadium were treated to some different – if not exciting – Fourth of July fireworks … both after and during the game. The postgame fireworks speak for themselves, a wonderful extravaganza to celebrate our nation’s birthday. But it’s what happened between […]

Buehler pleased with rehab outing
July 4th, 2018 at 10:00 am by Ron Cervenka When Dodgers manager Dave Roberts informed the media that right-hander Walker Buehler had been optioned to Single-A Rancho Cucamonga last Friday, it raised a few eyebrows. Generally, in fact nearly always, when a Dodger player is still under team control and has options remaining, he is sent back down to Triple-A Oklahoma City, not Single-A […]
