Roberts Defends Kershaw Move

It was the burning question on the mind of every Dodgers – and baseball – fan on the planet: “Why would Dodgers manager Dave Roberts even consider removing Clayton Kershaw from a two-hit / 1-0 shutout after seven innings when the future Hall of Fame left-hander had made only 88 pitches to that point?” It […]

Long Ball Bites Urías – Again

As he has done in nearly each of his previous five starts this season, 26-year-old Dodgers left-hander Julio Urías was sharp – again – in his MLB-leading sixth start of the season on Thursday afternoon against the Pittsburgh Pirates at PNC Park … until he wasn’t – again.

Gonsolin Not Thrilled With Season Debut

The Dodgers used five pitchers in their ugly 8-1 loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates at PNC Park on Wednesday evening. Unfortunately, only one of them was good. That’s the bad news.

Dodgers Lose Two of Their Best Players – But For a Great Reason

Within minutes of being named the National League Player of the Week on Monday afternoon, it was reported – and confirmed – that the Dodgers would be without the services of MLB’s current home run leader Max Muncy, but for the greatest reason possible. The 32-year-old Midland, TX native has been placed on paternity leave […]

Vintage Kershaw

Thirty-five-year-old Dodgers ace and future Hall of Famer Clayton Kershaw made the 403rd start of his 16-year Major League career on Sunday afternoon against the Chicago Cubs at historic Wrigley Field. And as he has done exactly 200 times before, he won. If you are any good at math (which I most certainly am not), […]

James Outman – The Gift That Keeps On Giving

Meaning no disrespect whatsoever, if you are among those who still believe that it is too early to acknowledge that 25-year-old Dodgers outfielder James Outman will be the 2023 National League Rookie of the Year (or isn’t at least the current front-runner), you are, quite frankly, kidding yourself.

During the course of the 2023 MLB regular season, April 21 will hopefully be remembered as the low-water mark for the Los Angeles Dodgers in another championship season.
