As baseball fans know, with the promise of a new day, there is always another baseball game with a clean slate. Yet, despite knowing that a fresh start awaits, the team and fans are remarkably frustrated with the Dodgers’ recent record. Friday night was a battle between the National League West second-place Los Angeles Dodgers […]

The Dodgers started the 2021 season winning 13 of their first 15 games, with fans and baseball experts predicting a record-setting year for the reigning World Champions. After that incredible start, the team won 46 of the next 83 games, a respectable .547 pace for any MLB team — other than the modern-day Dodgers, who […]

For the second consecutive night, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts who, prior to Wednesday night’s 4-2 loss to the NL West first-place San Francisco Giants had been ejected a total of six times in his seven seasons as the Dodgers manager, was ejected again during Thursday night’s brutal 5-3 loss that now has his team 3.0 […]

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 […]
