Since returning from the Injured List, Dodgers left-hander Clayton Kershaw has started two games. He won both of them. As Dodgers fans (and opposing hitters) know all to well, the 33-year-old Dallas, TX native and Dodgers first-round draft pick in 2006 out of Highland Park High School in University Park, TX, landed on the 10-Day […]

Throughout most of the 2021 season, there has been considerable talk and speculation that 25-year-old Dodgers left-hander Julio Urías and 27-year-old Dodgers right-hander Walker Buehler were among the leading candidates to win the 2021 National League Cy Young award, and justifiably so. After all, Urías currently leads all of baseball with his 18 wins (and […]

Baseball enthusiasts and sportswriters across the country are referring to the San Francisco Giants’ 2021 season as ‘magical.’ Not so Dodger fans, who refer to it as ‘voodoo magic.’ With the Dodgers anemic (and embarrassing) six-hit / 3-1 loss to the National League Central third-place Cincinnati Reds at Great American Ball Park on Friday, they […]

When the Giants took two of three from the Dodgers during their final meeting of the season back on September 3-5 and then proceeded to go on a franchise record-setting nine-game winning streak, it appeared that the Dodgers would not overcome their (then) four-game deficit with (then) 25 games remaining in the 2021 regular season.

When the Dodgers acquired 28-year-old Trea Turner at the July 31 trade deadline, they knew they were getting a league-leading hitter and an elite middle infielder.

The bad news is that the San Francisco Giants beat the San Diego Padres at Oracle Park on Tuesday night to maintain their 2.5-game lead over the Dodgers in the National League West with only 17 and 16 regular-season games left to play, respectively. The good news – and make no mistake about it, it […]

After missing 62 games over the last 72 days, 33-year-old Dodgers left-hander Clayton Kershaw finally returned to action on Monday night in front of a very loud ‘happy-to-see-you’ Dodger Stadium crowd of 43,273 … but who was counting, right? Kershaw, who made his last start on July 3, 2021 against the Washington Nationals at Nationals […]

  *  *  *  “The nineteenth member of the 3,000 strikeout club is Max Scherzer.” Dodgers broadcaster Joe Davis   *  *  *  *  It was pretty much a given that when recently acquired 37-year-old Dodgers right-hander Max Scherzer entered Sunday’s game against the San Diego Padres at Dodger Stadium with 2,994 career strikeouts, he […]

After winning Saturday’s game against the San Diego Padres at Dodger Stadium, the Dodgers remained 2.5 games behind the San Francisco Giants for first place in the National League West. Dodgers right-hander Walker Buehler took the mound against the Padres on Saturday and was sensational. The 27-year-old Lexington, Kentucky native allowed only two runs on […]

History will forever show that Mookie Betts‘ crucial three-run home run in the bottom of the fifth inning on Saturday evening is the reason why the Dodgers beat the San Diego Padres by a score of 5-4 to remain 2.5 games behind the National League West first-place San Francisco Giants with (now) 19 games remaining […]
