Try as they may, and meaning no disrespect, the 2023 Colorado Rockies are not a very good baseball team. Oh sure, they’ve won 32 games thus far this season, including beating the Dodgers on Wednesday night by a score of 9-8, but they have lost 51 games, third most in the MLB. That 51st loss […]

It is an acronym that I haven’t had to use for a while: SHW – Should Have Won. Wednesday night’s 9-8 Dodgers loss to the NL West last place Colorado Rockies at Coors Field in Denver was a SHW game. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts summed it up perfectly: “A lot of hits out there, and […]

The (now) 44-34 National League West third place Los Angeles Dodgers shut out the (now) 31-50 National League West last place Colorado Rockies by a lopsided score of 5-0 in front of a crowd of 38,738 at mile high Coors Field on Tuesday night, as well they should have. A bit presumptuous, you say? Perhaps. […]

Following 13 days during which the Dodgers played 11 games, and despite our extreme passion for the Dodgers and for the game of baseball itself, Monday’s scheduled day off was an absolute blessing for Dodgers fans and most certainly for the Dodgers themselves. During those 11 games in 13 days, and even though two of […]

There is no love lost for Dodger fans when the Houston Astros come to town. Most of the team may have moved on, but the fans will never forgive – or forget – not knowing if the Boys in Blue could have secured a World Series Championship in 2017 thanks to the Astros cheating. The […]

The Dodgers have recalled infielder Yonny Hernández and placed outfielder Chris Taylor on the injured list with right knee soreness, backdated to June 22.  Hernández, 25, returns for his second stint with the club. In 47 games for Triple-A Oklahoma City, he hit .260 (44-for-169) with 11 doubles, two triples, two homers and 25 RBI. […]

Whenever the the Houston Astros come to town to play the Los Angeles Dodgers at Dodger Stadium – regardless of the circumstances – the games are already at a Level-10 even before the first pitched is tossed. And even though only two players from that 2017 cheating Astros team remain on their current roster and […]

It never fails. Every time Dodgers fans are ready to throw in the towel on 26-year-old Dodgers outfielder James Outman for his current team-leading 88 strikeouts (which always seem to happen at the absolute worst possible time), he comes up with yet another career night at the plate, causing Dodgers fans put the popular Redwood […]

It was one of those things we heard often as youngsters on the schoolyard playground and even more so when we got into organized sports: “You win as a team and you lose as a team.” But even though the Dodgers have ‘won as a team’ more than they have ‘lost as a team’ this […]

GOAT – Greatest Of All Time. It is a hackneyed initialism that is used so often that it has become… well… hackneyed. But even though GOAT is tossed around ad nauseam these days, there is simply no better way to describe 35 year-old Dodgers ace and future first-ballot Hall of Famer Clayton Kershaw. He is, […]
