Looking up to the Dodgers is the typical view for the San Diego Padres, whether it is in the NL West standings, or metaphorically as “…the dragon up the freeway we’re trying to slay,” according to Padres owner Peter Seidler (August 7, 2022). If not slay, then wishing to emulate the Dodgers long history of success. […]

Not going to beat a dead horse, but the Dodgers ugly 8-3 loss to the San Diego Padres at Petco Park on Saturday night was another one of those ‘should have won’ games that Dodgers manager Dave Roberts‘ team flat out gave away. But as we were all taught as kids, ‘You can’t win them […]

Baseball is a game full of surprises. Just when you think something is impossible, the impossible happens; and usually something incredible. During Friday night’s game between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the San Diego Padres at a sold out Petco Park in downtown San Diego something impossible and incredible happened – not once, but twice […]

Twenty-three-year-old Dodgers right-hander Emmet Sheehan not only saved Thursday night’s game between the Los Angeles Dodgers and Oakland Athletics for 26-year-old left-hander Julio Urías in front of a sold out Dodger Stadium crowd of 52,624, he also saved Dodgers manager Dave Roberts from having to use his often used (and overused) bullpen … with a […]

When the Dodgers acquired shortstop Amed Rosario from the Cleveland Guardians last week in exchange for right-hander Noah Syndergaard and cash considerations, there were probably a good many Dodgers fans that said “Who?” Now this most certainly isn’t meant out of disrespect for the 27-year-old Santo Domingo Centro, Dominican Republic native who was signed by the New York […]

It took a while, exactly one week to the day to be exact, but former current Dodger Kiké Hernández had a huge nigh against the Oakland Athletics on Tuesday in front of a Dodger Stadium crowd of 44,207. All the soon-to-be (on August 24) 32-year-old San Juan, Puerto Rico native and Houston Astros sixth round draft […]

With Major League Baseball’s trade deadline now only hours away (Tuesday, August 1 at 6 p.m. ET), and with the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim having informed the baseball world this past week that they were not going trade superstar designated hitter/pitcher Shohei Ohtani, it is difficult – if not impossible – to believe that […]

The 2023 trade deadline is fast approaching (6:00 PM EDT August 1) and the Dodgers front office has yet to make a trade that substantially improves the roster for their charge toward this year’s World Series. Fans have come to know that Andrew Friedman, the guy in charge of Dodgers roster construction, is methodical, never […]

There are only a couple of days remaining before Major League Baseball’s trade deadline. Most teams with a legitimate shot to make a run in October are vying for the same small pool of players and pitchers. The Dodgers dropped their most recent series against the Cincinnati Reds at Dodger Stadium, which highlighted some of […]

The Dodgers have activated right-handed pitcher Lance Lynn and optioned right-handed pitcher Tyson Miller. Lynn, 36, was acquired on Friday from the Chicago White Sox. He has made 21 appearances for the White Sox and he is 6-9 with a 6.47 ERA (86 ER/119.2 IP) and 144 strikeouts this season. He had a banner season […]
