Dodgers baseball should be the topic on a Dodgers-based blog site, but Pedro Martinez‘s comments on January 21 regarding Mike Fiers blowing the whistle on the Houston Astros cannot go without mention. After all, if Jessica Mendoza is open to criticism, then the Hall of Fame right-hander deserves the same scrutiny. Martinez’s comments are from […]

It was epic. Nothing over-the-top fancy or sexy and most certainly not a high-dollar item. But it was clever and absolutely loved by Dodger fans around the world. And it was all ours.

With each passing day and with pitchers and catchers scheduled to report for spring training in three short weeks, Dodger fans are slowly coming to grips with the fact that the blockbuster offseason acquisition they were hoping (and praying) for by Dodgers president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman probably isn’t going to happen. However, and […]

Jessica Mendoza wears a couple of hats in her professional career: an analyst for ESPN and a special assistant to New York Mets General Manager Brodie Van Wagenen. In either capacity, it appears that she crossed a bright-line during the January 16 ESPN television broadcast of ‘Golic and Wingo‘ regarding the Houston Astros cheating scandal. […]

On December 21, 2018, the Dodgers signed (then) 30-year-old right-hander Joe Kelly to a 3-year/$25-million contract with a club option for a fourth year (or a $4 million buyout).
