During the bottom of the first inning of Game-3 of the three-game series between the Dodgers and Colorado Rockies at Dodger Stadium on Sunday afternoon, hot-hitting Dodgers shortstop Corey Seager hit a flyball to left field for an opposite-field solo home run to give the Dodgers an early 1-0 lead. But Seager wasn’t the only […]

There are few things in baseball more exciting than a bottom-of-the-ninth walk-off home run … as long as it’s your team that does the walking off, of course. On Saturday night, there was a brief moment where Dodger fans – and even the batter himself, 25-year-old reigning National League MVP Cody Bellinger – honestly didn’t […]

The weeks leading up to the annual Major League Baseball trade deadline are usually a busy period for the Dodgers president of baseball operations, Andrew Friedman and his staff. How to enhance the team’s roster for the postseason push? Which prospects are considered untouchable? How much increase in payroll will Dodgers owner Mark Walter allow? […]

During his pregame Zoom media scrum on Friday afternoon, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts was asked if he had an update Dodgers catcher Will Smith, who was placed on the injured list on August 15 (retroactive to August 13) with neck inflammation. “Will took four at-bats today at the secondary site and felt good, had a […]

It was like stepping out of a time machine. Back to a time when you could still buy a gallon of gasoline for under $3.00 (if you looked hard enough). Back to a time when you still saw an occasional flip phone being used. Back to a time when In-N-Out Burger opened their first two […]

Wednesday night’s painful 6-4 loss to the Seattle Mariners at T-Mobile Park in the Pacific Northwest was the 26th game of the COVID-19-shortened 2020 season for the Dodgers. In other words, their season is now exactly 43.33% completed, with 34 regular-season games remaining. In each of those 26 games, the designated hitter rule has been […]

Dodgers catcher Austin Barnes got off to a horrible start to the COVID-19-shortened 2020 season. Things had gotten so bad for the 30-year-old Fullerton, CA native and ninth-round draft pick by the Florida Marlins in 2011 draft out of Arizona State University that on August 8, he was hitting a team-low .091. …and then Dodgers […]

It was sincere and straightforward; something you would expect one brother to say about another on an opposing team: “I hope he goes out and has four hits tonight and we still win.” It was said almost prophetically by 26-year-old Dodgers shortstop Corey Seager about his older brother Kyle Seager, the 32-year-old All-Star/Gold Glove third […]

Since 1887, there have been only 126 players to hit a home run during their first Major League Baseball at-bat. Six Dodgers had accomplished the rare feat, but only two since the team moved from Brooklyn to Los Angeles in 1958: Pitcher Clise Dudley – April 27, 1929 (first pitch) Shortstop Gordon Slade – May […]

In addition to being the very best of the very best at their trade, Major League Baseball players are also the biggest fans of the game.
