Less than 24 hours after experiencing the best game of the new 2023 season, the Dodgers – and their fans – experienced the worst. One day after the game-winning ninth-inning grand slam home run by 25-year-old Dodgers (sudden) superstar James Outman in Thursday’s exciting 6-2 win over the Chicago Cubs at historic Wrigley Field, 33-year-old […]

It wasn’t all that long ago that popular Dodgers broadcaster Joe Davis coined the phrase “Cody Bellinger, you are ridiculous!” which, of course, quickly became the buzz phrase among Dodgers fans for the former Dodger, former National League Rookie of the Year, former National League MVP, and current Chicago Cub.

It’s one of those old sayings you’ve probably heard hundreds of times in your life, maybe thousands:  If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.”   The Dodgers bullpen is “broke.” Oh sure, they certainly have their moments, but it seems that 21 days (19 games) into the new season they have had more of those […]

If you are an avid fan of Dodgers baseball, and let’s be honest here, you probably wouldn’t be reading this if you were not, you’ve undoubtedly had the privilege to witness some great things.

When we pitch, we […]

It is quickly moving from the ever-popular “It’s still early” stage to the “There is some concern” stage – “It” being the Dodgers roster-wide inexplicable and inexcusable lack of offense now 18 days (16 games) into the 2023 season. Just how bad is it? Well… the Dodgers, a team with several of the very best […]

There is no disputing that David Peralta‘s exciting pinch-hit walk-off two-run single in the bottom of the ninth inning in Saturday night’s 2-1 Dodgers win over the Chicago Cubs at Dodger Stadium was, to this point, the biggest hit of the (now) 15-day-old 2023 season. However, it was the ‘other’ biggest hit of the (now) […]

There’s losing, and then there’s losing ugly. Friday night’s 8-2 Dodgers loss to the Chicago Cubs in front of a sold-out Dodger Stadium crowd of 52,298 was as ugly as it gets. Oh sure, you can pin the blame on 26-year-old Dodgers right-hander Andre Jackson, who allowed five runs on six hits (four of which […]

Former Dodger and former Dodgers fan-favorite Cody Bellinger will make his first and much-anticipated return to Dodger Stadium this weekend, as his new team, the Chicago Cubs, are in town for a three-game series against his old team, the Los Angeles Dodgers.
