September 10th, 2019 at 8:00 am 
by Ron Cervenka If you are a bottom-line type, the bottom line is that the Dodgers are in first place in the National League West with a MLB third-best 93-52 record and a resounding 17.5-game lead over the second-place Arizona Diamondbacks, and will, in all likelihood, clinch their seventh consecutive NL West title as early as Tuesday evening […]

Lack of Offense Ends Quakes Season
September 9th, 2019 at 9:00 am by Lauren Jennings For the second game in their last four, the Quakes offense failed to show up when it was needed most. The defense and bullpen also had rough nights, ultimately culminating in the Quakes dropping the must-win Game-4 in the California League South Division Finals against the Lake Elsinore Storm (Padres) on Saturday night. On paper, […]

Sunday’s (Almost) Unnoticed Play
September 9th, 2019 at 8:00 am by Ron Cervenka From a statistical standpoint, Matt Beaty had the game-winning hit in Sunday’s 5-0 shutout win over the San Francisco Giants in front of a Dodger Stadium crowd of 52,310. Although no one knew it at the time, because the Giants failed to put a run on the board, Beaty’s two-run home run in the bottom […]

Is the Sky Falling for Dodgers?
September 8th, 2019 at 12:00 pm by Ron Cervenka There is no disputing that Dodgers manager Dave Roberts is as positive of a major league manager as you can and will find in all of baseball – this is an absolute fact.

September 8th, 2019 at 9:00 am by Ron Cervenka It is a play that the Dodgers make 99 times out of 100. It came on the third pitch of Saturday’s game between the Dodgers and their most-hated division-rivals, the San Francisco Giants, at a sold-out Dodger Stadium. The Dodgers did not make the play. Instead, Giants rookie sensation Mike Yastrzemski, grandson of Hall of […]

Dodgers Starting Rotation Picked a Bad Time to be Bad
September 7th, 2019 at 9:00 am by Ron Cervenka In his last five starts, longtime Dodgers ace and future Hall of Famer Clayton Kershaw is 2-3 with a very unKershaw-like 4.34 ERA. The good news is that in those five games, he struck out a very Kershaw-like 40 batters in his combined 29.0 innings pitched. The bad news is that in those 29.0 innings […]

It’s Win-or-Go-Home Time for Quakes
September 6th, 2019 at 5:30 pm by Lauren Jennings After a miserable showing from the Quakes offense in game-1 of the Cal League South Division Finals, the Storm (Padres) took a 1-0 series lead with one game left to play in Lake Elsinore before the series moved to Rancho Cucamonga. Game-2 looked like it had the right combination of things to allow the Quakes […]
