Fans of 24-year-old Dodgers left-hander Julio Urías – and let’s face it, who isn’t – were treated to what was, hands down, the single best start of his six-year major league career on Tuesday afternoon when he struck out a career-high 11 Seattle Mariners batters at T-Mobile Park. He was flat out dominant … or […]

For the first time since September 10-12, 2020, the Dodgers have lost back-to-back games. All things considered, that is exceptionally good. What isn’t good is that Sunday’s 5-2 loss to the San Diego Padres at Petco Park and Monday’s 4-3 loss to the Seattle Mariners at T-Mobile Park were the result of errors. On Sunday […]

If you are still not a fan of Dodgers right-hander Trevor Bauer, the problem may be with you, not him. All the 30-year-old North Hollywood, CA native and defending National League Cy Young Award winner has done through his first four starts as a Dodger is post a 2-0 record and 2.42 ERA in his […]

You have to look hard in the box score to find it, but it’s there. Oh, is it there. The one play – or misplay – that prevented the Dodgers from sweeping the San Diego Padres in front of a COVID-19 sold-out Petco Park crowd on Sunday afternoon. It occurred with no outs in the […]

The Bazooka is back! As promised by Dodgers manager Dave Roberts during his daily Zoom media briefings over the past couple of days, 22-year-old right-hander Brusdar Graterol has been activated and added to the 26-man roster, and 25-year-old left-hander Alex Vesia, who was activated yesterday as a ‘just in case’ piece in the Dodgers heavily-taxed […]

A team adding a pitcher to the bullpen after a long extra-inning game is not unusual; it is almost SOP these days with teams optioning and recalling players from their respective alternate training sites as frequently as kids used to trade baseball cards. After Dodgers right-hander Walker Buehler pitched the first seven innings of the […]

It’s a term that gets tossed around often by radio, television, and print/internet media types: ‘Future Hall of Famer.’ And while no one knows for sure until Hall of Fame ballots are actually counted who achieves baseball immortality and who does not, you are only kidding yourself if you do not believe that Dodgers ace […]

A little over 24 hours after 35-year-old left-hander David Price recorded the first save in his brilliant 13-year MLB career, he notched his first (of 151) win in a Dodger uniform … and it was glorious. In a game that was three minutes shy of five hours long and saw a combined 17 pitchers used, […]

When the Dodgers entered the bottom of the seventh inning on Thursday night – Jackie Robinson Day – in front of a COVID-19 sold-out Dodger Stadium crowd of 15,129, they were in a position unfamiliar to them; trailing the NL West last-place Colorado Rockies by a score of 5-3. When the inning ended, they were […]

Everyone knows what a fan-favorite third baseman Justin Turner is. He is the unofficial Dodger’s team captain and helps provide a lot of leadership and cohesiveness in the clubhouse. Fans waited expectantly, but perhaps not quite so patiently, to hear whether the Front Office would resign him in the off-season. They were rewarded over Valentine’s […]
