Following Sunday’s dominating 7-3 Dodgers win over the Washington Nationals at a rain soaked Nationals Park to take two of three from the Nats and finish their six-game road trip going 3-3, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts sprung some pretty heavy news on the gathered media. The Dodgers skipper told reporters, including Dodgers beat writer Juan […]

It was never a matter of ‘If,’ but ‘When.’ The ‘When‘ came on Friday night, September 8, 2023, at Nationals Park in our nation’s capital.

You don’t have to be a rocket scientist to realize that the National League West first place Los Angeles Dodgers have a very serious starting pitching problem. Not only is 35-year-old staff ace and future Hall of Famer Clayton Kershaw (very) obviously broken (although he adamantly insists “I’m fine”), but they just lost 27-year-old soon-to-be […]
