Dodgers outfielder J.D. Martinez, affectionately (and appropriately) nicknamed ‘Just Dingers,’ is indeed ‘Just Doing’ that. In his last 14 games, the extremely popular 35-year-old Miami, FL native and 20th-round draft pick in 2009 by the Houston Astros out of Nova Southeastern University in Fort Lauderdale is 20 for his last 60, which equates to a .333 […]

You’re a Dodgers fan, but live thousands of miles from Los Angeles so you purchase the MLBTV package so you can watch your favorite team.  Not as good as being in Dodger Stadium, eating a grilled Dodger Dog, sipping your favorite beverage, and slapping high fives with other fans, but you still get to watch […]

When (now) 35-year-old Dodgers ace and future Hall of Fame left-hander Clayton Kershaw made his much anticipated first career and Dodger Stadium start back on May 25, 2008, the (then) 20-year-old Dallas, TX native and Dodgers first round draft pick (seventh overall) of the 2006 MLB Draft out of Highland Park High School in Dallas […]

Longtime baseball fans know better than to draw conclusions from one game, or even a few weeks of games. Patience is not only a virtue but is essential, as players work through injuries and the inevitable slumps during a MLB season. But when a pattern of poor play continues for one-third of a season, there […]

There is no kind or gentle way to say it: 30-year-old Dodgers right-hander Noah Syndergaard is having an awful 2023 season thus far – to the tune of a 1-4 record and an atrocious 6.27 ERA through his thus far 10 starts and 47.1 innings pitched. During Friday’s ugly 9-3 Dodgers loss to the Tampa […]

 The Dodgers have activated left-handed pitcher Clayton Kershaw from the bereavement list and optioned right-handed pitcher Tayler Scott.   Kershaw, 34, is 6-4 on the season and carries a 2.98 ERA (19 ER/57.1 IP) with 69 strikeouts. The nine-time All-Star is 203-91 with a 2.49 ERA (730 ER/2638.1 IP) and 2,876 strikeouts in his career. He […]

Throughout our respective lives, there are things/events that happen that cause us to say “Where has the time gone” – things like our childhood and growth, our graduation from junior and senior high school and college, our marriage(s), the birth, childhood, and growth of our kids, their graduation from junior and senior high school and […]

Allow me to preface this by saying that the Dodgers are still in first place in the National League West with a 1.5-game lead over the second-place Arizona Diamondbacks, a 6.0-game lead over the third-place San Francisco Giants, an 8.0-game lead over the fourth-place San Diego Padres, and a 9.5-game lead over the last place […]

Dodgers fans who closely follow their beloved team’s minor league affiliates have been looking forward to and waiting anxiously for this day to arrive – the day when 24-year-old right-hander Bobby Miller finally gets called up to ‘The Show.’ That day finally came on Tuesday morning, May 23, 2023, when the popular Elk Grove Village, […]
