It’s definitely not how’s Dodgers President of Baseball Operations Andrew Friedman envisioned it, but with ‘Necessity Being The Mother of Invention’ and all, the Dodgers appear to be one pitcher closer to actually having a five-man starting rotation. On Monday night, having returned very early that morning from a successful 5-1 road trip to Philadelphia […]

Short, sweet, and to the point – Max beat the Mets … both of them – by a lopsided score of 14-4 on Sunday evening in front of 31,205 at Citi Field to complete a three-game sweep. Recently acquired right-hander Max Scherzer picked up the win, his 10th of the season and first in a […]

Throughout their 138-year franchise history and most certainly in their 63 seasons in Los Angeles, the Dodgers have a remarkable history of having some of the best relief pitchers to have ever played the game. In fact, back in the day (as they say), it was not uncommon for a pitcher to enter a game […]

The Dodgers have placed left-handed pitcher Julio Urías on the injured list with a left calf contusion and have recalled infielder/outfielder Zach McKinstry from Triple-A Oklahoma City. Urías, 25, made the start on Friday night, tossing 5.0 innings of scoreless baseball. The lefty is tied for the Major League lead in wins with 13 and […]

If you are a bottom-line person, the bottom line is that the Dodgers beat the New York Mets by a score of 6-5 in 10 innings at Citi Field on Friday night – period. That’s the bottom line. As a result, they are now 70-46 on the season and (still) trail the NL West first-place […]

Suffice to say, 2017 National League Rookie of the Year, 2019 NL MVP, two-time All-Star, Gold Glove, and Silver Slugger winner Cody Bellinger has had an injury-plagued season that he would rather forget. In fact, of the Dodgers 114 games thus far this season, he missed 57 of them due to a fractured left fibula […]

If you didn’t see this one coming, you might want to schedule an appointment with an optometrist. On Wednesday afternoon, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts confirmed during his pregame Zoom media presser what we all pretty much already knew – that 28-year-old Dodgers outfielder Mookie Betts was headed to the Injured List for “right hip inflammation.” […]

For those old enough to remember, that was the title of a very popular song by singer, songwriter Albert Hammond in 1972. It is also a big reason why Dodgers owner Walter O’Malley moved the Dodgers from Brooklyn to Los Angeles in 1958, among others. It worked. Facts: Dodger Stadium opened on April 10, 1962. […]

The Dodgers have 50 games remaining in the 2021 MLB regular season, and the bullpen continues to struggle closing out games in which the team has a lead in the eighth or ninth innings. To date, the team has blown 23-save opportunities — third-most in MLB — and lost 22 games. And their record in […]
