How is that for an attention grabber? Flies directly in the face of baseball pundits, Las Vegas oddsmakers, and my own prediction of a World Championship for the 2020 Dodgers. There is a caveat to this gloomy forecast … if Cody Bellinger and Max Muncy continue to play as they have thus far this season. […]

For the second time in as many games, the Dodgers have gone into extra innings, which, of course, means they have had to utilize the new COVID-19-induced automatic-runner-on-second-base rule; the sixth time they have had to do so in the 44 regular-season games they have played thus far. The good news is that the Dodgers […]

Fact-1: Baseball is not for the faint of heart. Fact-2: If you strand 15 runners on base, you’re probably not going to win. On Tuesday night, the Dodgers tested their fans to the extreme on Fact-1 and overcame Fact-2 by pulling off a thrilling come-from-behind 10-9 win over the NL West last-place Arizona Diamondbacks at […]

At 30-12, the Dodgers have the best record in all of baseball with 18 games left to play in the COVID-29-shortened 2020 regular season. They have also won seven of their last 10 games. That’s the good news. The bad news is that they lost their last two games (and their first series of the […]

No need for veteran MLB umpire ‘Cowboy’ Joe West (aka ‘Country’ Joe West) to have his hearing checked. No, he seems to be hearing just fine; well enough to eject Washington Nationals President of Baseball Operations and General Manager Mike Rizzo from the third deck while he was on the field umpiring during the seventh inning of Sunday’s game between […]

Let’s face it, Matt Kemp, regardless of where he has gone (or goes) after leaving the Dodgers as a free agent following the 2018 season, was – and always will be – considered a Dodger … even if it kills us. After all, he was drafted by the Dodgers in the sixth round of the […]

The Dodgers have played 42-games of the abbreviated 60-game, 2020 MLB season, winning almost three games of every four played. Clearly, they are one of the best teams this season, and the Las Vegas betting favorite to win the World Series. A great deal can happen in the remaining three weeks leading up to the […]

Dodgers right-hander Tony Gonsolin had the best pitching performance of his brief two-year MLB career on Saturday evening against the Colorado Rockies at Dodger Stadium. All the 6′-3″ / 205-pound Vacaville, CA native and Dodgers ninth-round draft pick in 2016 out of Saint Mary’s College in Moraga, CA did was allow only two runs (one earned) […]

Let’s be honest here – no one goes to a Dodger game not hoping to catch a home run ball. I mean, it’s as much a part of the game as a Dodger Dog and a seventh-inning chocolate malt, right? Who can forget the excitement of lifelong Dodger fan Keith Hupp when he caught Justin […]
