Thank You Padres
Thanking the Padres for taking two of the three games from the Dodgers last weekend (May 11-13) may be a bit snarky, but within the sarcasm is a subtle, but important reminder. In any given series of games (best of three, best of five, best of seven) a team can rise up and defeat a […]
(Read More)Dodgers ‘Just Didn’t Threaten’
Following his team’s ugly 4-0 loss to the San Diego Padres in front of another sold out Petco Park crowd of 43,881 (a good many of whom were Dodgers fans) during which his team managed only four hits (three singles and one double) and only one walk (Andy Pages in the top of the fifth […]

(Read More)A Sign of What’s to Come?
There are a good many who believe that the 2024 National League West Division will come down to a hard-fought battle between the current 26-14 NL West first place Los Angeles Dodgers and the current 21-20 NL West second place San Diego Padres.

(Read More)Dodgers Prepare for ‘Biggest Series of Season’
After only 39 games into the 2024 regular season, it’s a bit premature to consider any series ‘the biggest series of the season.’ But truth be told, this weekend’s three-game set with the division-rival San Diego Padres at what figures to be a less-than-friendly Petco Park, could very well set the tone for the remainder […]
(Read More)Yamamoto Dominates Marlins
With each successive outing, the 12 year / $325 Million contract given to international superstar right-hander Yoshinobu Yamamoto seems to sting Dodgers fans less and less; after all, it’s not our money, right? (Ticket, parking, and Dodger Dogs prices notwithstanding). On Tuesday night in front of a Dodger Stadium crowd of 51,496, the 25-year-old Bizen, Japan […]

It went well for the Lexington, KY native and Dodgers first round draft […]
(Read More)A Generational Player
Just as Babe Ruth was for our fathers and grandfathers, and Ted Williams, Sandy Koufax, and Don Drysdale were for us ‘veterans’ (old) fans, we are blessed to be witnessing yet another generational player before our very eyes and ears. There is zero doubt, none whatsoever, that 29-year-old Dodgers designated hitter (and occasional pitcher) Shohei […]
