One of the Dodgers strengths over the years has been the tremendous pool of talented players, especially pitching depth they could draw upon during the arduous 162-game regular season. For the 2021 season, baseball pundits once again pointed to the team’s depth in support of their forecast for another trip to the World Series. But […]

ThinkBlueLA has learned that former Dodgers Cy Young award winner Mike Marshall passed away on Monday night at his home in Zephyrhills, FL. while under hospice care, with his wife Erica Smith-Marshall at his side. The Adrian, MI native was 78 years old. Longtime Dodger fans vividly recall Marshall’s incredible 1974 season, when the extremely […]

It wasn’t as long as Alex Cora‘s historic 18-pitch at-bat on May 12, 2004, against Chicago Cubs right-hander Matt Clement, but it was close. And even though it didn’t end with a home run into the Right Field Pavillion at Dodger Stadium, as did Cora’s, it did clear the bases with a three-run double and […]

Literally millions of Dodger fans grew-up, as did I, listening to Vin Scully on radio and television, verbally painting a picture of games so vividly that we were metaphorically transported from all parts of the country to Ebbets Field or Dodger Stadium, or Forbes Field in Pittsburgh, or Crosley Field in Cincinnati, or Shea Stadium […]

After getting off to a smoking hot 13-2 start to the 2021 season, the defending World Series champion Los Angeles Dodgers went into a horrible slump, during which they lost 15 of 20 games. That ugly skid finally came to an end when they knocked off an eight-game winning streak. If this past weekend’s four-game […]

There wasn’t a whole lot for Dodger fans to cheer about on Saturday with their team’s brutal 11-6 loss to the San Francisco Giants in front of a COVID-19 record-setting sellout crowd of 19,097 at Dodger Stadium; not even with the much-anticipated returns of Dodgers All-Star outfielder/first baseman Cody Bellinger and rookie sensation Zach McKinstry […]

  *  *  *  Peters, Neuse Optioned to OKC   *  *  *  *  The Dodgers have activated All-Star outfielder Cody Bellinger and infielder/outfielder Zack McKinstry from the injured list and have optioned outfielder DJ Peters and infielder/outfielder Sheldon Neuse to Triple-A Oklahoma City. Bellinger, 25, missed 46 games after being placed on the injured […]

The Dodgers were robbed … and it was the perfect crime. After an improbable/impossible (as Vin would say) three-run home run by Dodgers pinch-hitter Austin Barnes with two outs in the bottom of the ninth inning on Friday night to turn a 5-2 deficit into a 5-5 tie, the Dodgers came a half-inch shy of […]

It’s no secret that new Dodger and future Hall of Famer Albert Pujols is a slow runner. VERY slow. In fact, over his brilliant 21-year Cooperstown-bound career, the beloved and highly respected 41-year-old Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic native, has a total of 115 stolen bases, and only five over the last three seasons and none with […]

Unless you’ve been stranded on a desert island (or without cellphone service) for the last month, you are probably well aware that Dodgers three-time All-Star and two-time Trevor Hoffman Reliever of the Year award-winner Kenley Jansen has been good for the past month. Exceptionally good. Since May 5, the 33-year-old Willemstad, Curacao native, who the Dodgers […]
