There isn’t a Dodger fan out there who is not fully aware of the mid-season speed bump that 34-year-old Dodgers closer Kenley Jansen hit. In fact, during the month of July, the 6′-5″ / 265-pound right-hander allowed eight earned runs in 7.2 innings pitched for an unsightly (and un-Kenley-like) 9.39 ERA. Since then, however, the […]

Following Thursday night’s exciting 11-2 win over the Atlanta Braves in Game-5 of the 2021 National League championship Series at a very loud Dodger Stadium to stave off elimination for an incredible record-setting eighth consecutive time this postseason, Dodger fans were feeling extremely optimistic, knowing that they would have their two best starting pitchers going […]

Thirty-one-year-old Dodgers third baseman Chris Taylor hit a home run in Game-5 of the National League Championship Series at Dodger Stadium on Thursday night. And then he hit another one. And then he hit another one. Thirty-three-year-old Dodgers left fielder AJ Pollock also hit a home run in Game-5 of the National League Championship Series […]

As longtime Dodger fans know, the Dodgers have not had an official team captain since Hall of Fame shortstop Harold Peter Henry “Pee Wee” Reese retired from the game on September 26, 1958. Oh, sure, there have been several unofficial team captains – guys like Davey Lopes, Matt Kemp, Andre Ethier, Adrián González, and more recently, Chase […]

It’s as simple as this: Not so simple, is it? Especially when that ‘2021 NLCS Braves Win’ was a 9-2 pounding of the Dodgers, who managed only four hits – all singles. With the loss, and as noted above, the 2021 NLCS now sits at three games to one in favor of Atlanta. “Our backs […]

Thousands of fans crammed into Dodger Stadium on Tuesday for Game-3 of the National League Championship Series – 51,307 of the Dodger’s faithful, to be exact. Many had to take off from work to represent their team for the home opener of the best-of-seven series because of its 2:08 pm PT midweek start time. There […]

If you had a dollar for every time 26-year-old Dodgers outfielder/first baseman Cody Bellinger struck out on a high fastball during his injury-shortened 2021 regular season, you’d have quite a few dollars. In fact, of his 94 strikeouts in the 95 regular-season games in which he played, it’s probably safe to say that (at least) […]

The 2021 National League Championship Series between the Los Angeles Dodgers and Atlanta Braves moves to Dodger Stadium for Game-3 on Tuesday afternoon, with first pitch scheduled for 2:08 p.m. PT. The game will most likely be a sellout, and fans are encouraged to carpool, utilize public transportation, and arrive early. Auto and stadium gates […]

It was Thumper, the lovable little rabbit from the 1942 Walt Disney animated classic Bambi, who said it best: Taking Thumper’s words literally, there is “…nothing at all” to say about Sunday night’s second consecutive ninth-inning walk-off Dodgers loss to the Atlanta Braves in Game-2 of the 2021 National League Championship Series at Truist Field […]

A base-running blunder of epic proportion and a lack of timely hitting have put the Dodgers down one game to none to the Atlanta Brave in the 2021 National League Championship Series. With two outs and the game tied 2-2 in the top ninth inning, normally reliable Dodgers centerfielder Chris Taylor drew a two-out walk, […]
