Do you remember accidentally tearing-off a scab from a deep wound that was not yet fully healed? Painful! Metaphorically, that is exactly what MLB did on July 29 when it suspended Dodgers pitcher Joe Kelly eight games (the equivalent of 22 games in a normal 162 game season) for supposedly throwing pitches at Houston Astros […]

When the Dodgers signed 32-year-old veteran outfielder A.J. Pollock to a lofty 4-year / $55 million free agent contract prior to the 2019 season, they were hoping that he would do for them what he used to do against them in his seven seasons with their division-rival Arizona Diamondbacks. He did not. Instead and despite […]

Let’s be honest here; with the Dodgers having 2019 NL MVP Cody Bellinger, four-time All-Star and three-time Silver Slugger Mookie Betts, and guys named Joc Pederson, Max Muncy, and Corey Seager on their 2020 roster, if you had picked A.J. Pollock to be the team’s best hitter after the first week of the 2020 season, […]

Most of us went to sleep Tuesday night chuckling to ourselves over Dodgers right-hander Joe Kelly‘s now-infamous ‘oopsie’ pitch that buzzed the tower of Astros third baseman Alex Bregman in the bottom of the sixth inning in the Dodgers eventual 5-2 win over the confirmed-cheating Houston Astros. But truth be told, a lot else happened […]

The Dodgers waited 28-weeks to deliver their in-person message to the Houston Astros (aka Houston Cheetos) for robbing them of the 2017 World Championship. Oh sure, many Dodgers players voiced their disgust of the cheating Astros players and organization shortly after MLB commissioner Rob Manfred released his report that forever labeled the 2017 and 2018 […]

Joe Kelly wasn’t on the Dodgers’ squad during the now infamous ‘17 World Series, so when Kelly arrived at Minute Maid Park for the team’s first road series this ‘20 season against the Astros, the slate was clean. Or so we thought.  What felt like just another ballgame through the first six 1/3 innings then […]

It was bound to happen. In fact, it’s what every Dodger fan on the planet has been waiting three years for. It wasn’t the beaning of an Astros player or a full-blown brawl against the same Astros team that cheated the Dodgers out of the 2017 World Series title by sign stealing, but it sent […]

The Dodgers have placed 29-year-old left-hander Alex Wood on the 10-day injured list with shoulder inflammation and have recalled 26-year-old right-hander Josh Sborz, the Dodgers announced on Tuesday. Wood appeared to be off a bit in his 2020 debut on Saturday, allowing three runs in his three innings of work against the San Francisco Giants at […]

Early Monday morning, nearly every national baseball reporter posted on Twitter that eight additional Miami Marlins players and two coaches had tested positive for COVID-19, including several who played on Sunday against the Philadelphia Phillies at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia … and then flew back to Miami on a commercial flight. Uh oh. Within […]

Many fans are wondering how the Dodgers are going to stay safe when traveling for away games. There will be downtime for players before and after games, and MLB teams do not have “a bubble” set up like the NBA currently does in Orlando, Florida, in Walt Disney World. But even “a bubble” does not […]
