It’s no secret that the Dodgers have been extremely careful with the development of 23-year-old right-hander Josiah Gray, although spending the last two months on the Injured List for shoulder soreness certainly had a lot to do with this. And even though his major league debut on Tuesday night against the NL West first-place San […]

Make no mistake about it, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts is a nice guy – a real nice guy. But also make no mistake about it, Dave Roberts is oftentimes a nice guy when he needs to be a … well … not-so-nice guy. On Wednesday night, Dave Roberts was finally a … well … not-so-nice […]

The Dodgers played their 96th game of the 2021 season on Tuesday night in front of a Dodger Stadium crowd that started out at 42,344, of which a good many had already left with their team down 6-1 in the fifth inning to the NL West first-place San Francisco Giants and the Dodgers at risk […]

The Dodgers started the official second half of the 2021 season on a positive note by winning two of the three road games against the Colorado Rockies but lost the first game of their four-game series with the San Francisco Giants on Monday night. A few observations and opinions as the team starts its stretch […]

Monday night’s series opener between the National League West first-place San Francisco Giants and the second-place Los Angeles Dodgers pretty much went as expected. Resembling a heavyweight title fight, the two powerhouse teams began the night exchanging blows, with both teams slugging back-to-back home runs in the first inning; the Giants by catcher and longtime […]

This one clearly falls in the ‘Should Have Won’ category, especially against a Colorado Rockies team with a (now) 41-53 record – second-worst in the NL West to only the 27-68 Arizona Diamondbacks. The Dodgers didn’t win. Instead, they made two game-changing errors and had two blown saves in the eventual 6-5 / 10-inning loss […]

It was one of those things that caused every Dodger fan on the planet to say “Oh No,” and hold their collective breaths. In the top of the seventh inning of Saturday night’s eventual 9-2 Dodgers rout of the Colorado Rockies at mile-high Coors Field, Dodgers superstar outfielder Mookie Betts pulled up lame after collecting […]

When it was announced that 28-year-old Dodgers outfielder Mookie Betts had been named to the 2021 National League All-Star team, there were a good many upset Dodger fans; not that the extremely popular Nashville, TN native and fifth-round draft pick in 2011 by the Boston Red Sox out of Overton High School isn’t among the very […]

The Dodgers have added right-handed pitcher Jimmie Sherfy to the active roster and optioned outfielder Zach Reks to Triple-A Oklahoma City.  Sherfy, 29, was claimed on Tuesday by the Dodgers from the San Francisco Giants. He was 1-0 with a 4.22 ERA (5 ER/10.2 IP) and nine strikeouts in 10 games for the Giants this […]

Exactly two weeks remain before the 2021 MLB trade deadline, and by all accounts, the Dodgers are perusing the market for seasoned pitching help. Prioritizing starting pitching makes sense considering the season-ending injury to phenom Dustin May, the potential for Trevor Bauer to miss significant time, Clayton Kershaw on the IL, the team’s reluctance to […]
