Most major league pitchers would be thrilled with having a 5-2 record and 2.53 ERA two months into the season. Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw is not most major league pitchers, not by any stretch of the imagination. Instead, the Dallas, TX native and future first-ballot Hall of Famer was visibly annoyed after his second loss […]

It’s ridiculous to think that 32 games into the 2023 regular season and 130 still to go that this weekend’s three-game series with the NL West second-place San Diego Padres for the NL West first-place Los Angeles Dodgers is the biggest series of the season thus far, but the simple truth is that it is. […]

History will always remember Wednesday, May 3, 2023, as the day that 32-year-old Dodgers third baseman Max Muncy hit his dramatic bottom-of-the-ninth, game-winning, walk-off, grand slam home run to give the Dodgers a 10-6 win over the Philadelphia Phillies at Dodger Stadium, and understandably so. It was Muncy’s MLB-leading 12th home run of the season […]

  *  *  *  “Everything is as it should be” – Trenton Lee Stewart, – The Mysterious Benedict Society   *  *  *  *  The San Francisco Giants and Colorado Rockies are muddling around at the bottom of the National League West, while the San Diego Padres remind baseball pundits and fans that they are […]

There is no kind or gentle way to put it, Dodgers utility infielder/outfielder Chris Taylor is awful. Or is he? Since being acquired from the Seattle Mariners on June 19, 2016 in exchange for highly touted (and now out of the game) pitching prospect Zach Lee, the extremely popular 32-year-old Virginia Beach, VA native and […]

It was one of those games that made you say: ‘Thanks! We needed that!’ Not only did the Dodgers score early in their 13-4 rout of the NL East fourth place Philadelphia Phillies at Dodger Stadium on Monday night, they did so often. In fact, the only inning in which they did not score at […]

As longtime Dodgers fans know, their beloved team has always been at or near the top of the league in stolen bases. Always. Not so the 2023 Dodgers. Through their first 29 games, the Dodgers have stolen a combined 17 bases – tied with the San Francisco Giants (go figure) for 21st in the MLB. […]

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 […]

After winning three of four from the Chicago Cubs at historic Wrigley but losing two of three to the Pittsburgh Pirates at PNC Park, including the final two games, Dodgers right-hander Dustin May and a nearly perfect performance by a recently struggling Dodgers bullpen put the Dodgers back in the win column on Friday night […]

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. After taking a 2-0 lead over the […]
