April 8, 2022, marks the first official day of the 2022 regular season for the Los Angeles Dodgers. The Dodgers will be playing the Colorado Rockies at Coors Field in Denver, Colorado. Dodgers 27-year-old Lexington, Kentucky native, and two-time All-Star right-hander Walker Buehler will be making his first-ever Opening Day start. During the 2021 season, […]

All things considered, there are no surprises to the 28 players who will suit up for the Dodgers in their first game of the 2022 season when they play the Colorado Rockies at Coors Field. The 2022 Los Angeles Dodgers are a veteran team comprised of 16 pitchers and 12 position players. There are no […]

First and foremost, the sum and total of my Spanish speaking abilities are limited to what I learned – and mostly forgot – in high school Spanish class and what I learned on the streets during my 36-year law enforcement career. Hence, it is extremely limited (and very poor). I did, however, pick up some […]

Tuesday marked the official end of an abbreviated Spring Training for the Los Angeles Dodgers after closing out a three-game Freeway Series against the Los Angeles Angels. Some noteworthy pitching appearances were made by Bobby Miller, Tommy Kahnle, Brusdar Graterol, and recent acquisition and eight-time All-Star Craig Kimbrel, among others. Unfortunately, the Angels took the […]

If you are among those who were fortunate enough to watch (now) 23-year-old right-hander Bobby Miller pitch his way through the Dodgers minor league system at Clayton Kershaw-like speed, you already knew that they had a good one. But if you are among the thousands of Dodgers fans who said “Bobby who?” when it was […]

There weren’t many positive takeaways in the Dodgers 10-4 loss to the Angels of Anaheim at Dodger Stadium on Monday night, but there was one. Even though 26-year-old Dodgers outfielder Cody Bellinger went 0-for-3 on the night, he didn’t strikeout. Yes, that most certainly sounds harsh and cold, but considering the Scottsdale, AZ native and […]

  *  *  *  “Meaningless Spring Training games.“   *  *  *  *  Keep saying it over and over again, and perhaps you’ll buy into it. Perhaps. We all know that regardless of how good – or bad – Spring Training games are, they don’t count once the regular season begins. But let’s be honest […]

When Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw proclaimed that he had fully recovered from his left elbow injury suffered on October 1 of last season, Dodgers fans were a bit skeptical that he would be ready for Opening Day 2022. That skepticism – and anxiety – increased even more when fans were told that, for only the […]

When the Dodgers entered their final week of Spring Training 2022 and still had not announced who their closer was going to be to begin the regular season, savvy Dodgers fans knew that something had to be up with Dodgers President of Baseball Operations Andrew Friedman. Oh, sure, there was speculation that 33-year-old right-hander Blake […]

We hear it from the very first day of Spring Training to the very last: “Spring Training games are Meaningless games.” Try convincing 27-year-old former Dodgers and current Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager of this. During Thursday’s “meaningless” Spring Training game between the two teams at Surprise Stadium in Surprise, AZ, the one time Dodgers […]
