During his pregame media briefing on Monday afternoon, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts was asked about the status of several of his rehabbing players – more specifically, about soon-to-be two-time All-Star first baseman Max Muncy (right oblique strain), two-time All-Star outfielder Cody Bellinger, (left hamstring tightness), and left-handed reliever Scott Alexander (left shoulder inflammation) – and […]

The National League West second-place Dodgers beat the National League West last-place Arizona Diamondbacks on Sunday afternoon at Chase Field in Phoenix to complete a three-game sweep. Barely. If you had been followed the game on radio or television and turned the game off in the sixth inning (and a good many undoubtedly did), you […]

Although we will never know exactly how many of the 29,904 in attendance at Chase Field for Saturday night’s game between the Dodgers and Arizona Diamondbacks were actual Dodger fans, it would be fair to say that the majority of them were. …the vast majority of them. What we do know is that 1,400 of […]

Regardless of how it ends, when all is said and done and we begin to look back on the Dodgers 2021 regular season, there will be two key moments that will stand out above the many others: When the Dodgers acquired 41-year-old / 21-year MLB veteran first baseman Albert Pujols. When they acquired 32-year-old / […]

You know how you meet somebody for the very first time and you immediately know that you like them; whether by premonition or instinct, or just a gut feeling? I, along with a half dozen other media types, recently had the pleasure of meeting newly acquired Dodgers outfielder Steven Souza Jr. It was not a […]

Over the course of a 162-game season, there will unquestionably be some very good at-bats and unquestionably some very bad at-bats. On Tuesday night, 36-year-old Dodgers third baseman Justin Turner had a very good at-bat. It wasn’t a home run or even a double, nor did it even drive in a run. But what it […]

There is nothing like the hum of a crowd to amplify an event. Add to that, that there is no place like a packed Dodger Stadium and that hum becomes a roar. After being empty when the beginning of the 2020 season was delayed due to Covid-19 and then only partially filled to start the […]

You don’t have to be a sabermetrics wizard to know that Dodgers superstar outfielder Mookie Betts had a rough few weeks of late. Oh sure, you can argue that the 28-year-old Nashville, TN native and fifth-round draft pick by the Boston Red Sox in 2011 out of Overton High School in Nashville hit .250 and .256 […]

It’s probably safe to say that when the Angels of Anaheim unceremoniously dumped 41-year-old / 21-year MLB veteran first baseman Albert Pujols on May 13, 2021, and the Dodgers scooped him up four days later, many – perhaps even most – Dodgers fans saw it as little more than an act of respect for the […]

The Dodgers will celebrate Reopening Day presented by Bank of America on Tuesday, June 15, 2021, as Dodger Stadium returns to full capacity for the team’s 7:10 p.m. game against the Philadelphia Phillies. Limited tickets remain available at Dodgers.com/tickets. The first 25,000 fans in attendance Tuesday will receive a Justin Turner bobblehead presented by Spectrum, […]
