Just What The Dodgers Didn’t Need
Gavin Lux‘s second-inning sacrifice fly and Max Muncy‘s two-out solo home run in the bottom of the ninth was the sum and total of the the National League West first-place Los Angeles Dodgers’ offense in their ugly 10-2 loss to NL West second-place San Diego Padres in Game-2 of the 2024 NLDS on Sunday evening. […]
(Read More)Teo Does It Again
Dodgers outfielder Teoscar Hernández may not be the flashiest guy in Dodgers manager Dave Roberts‘ (almost) everyday starting lineup, but he unquestionably is among the most clutch. Teo did it again in the Dodgers 7-5 win over the San Diego Padres on Tuesday evening in front of a packed Dodger Stadium crowd of 52,028 in […]

(Read More)Shohei. Again.
Baseball fans waiting (and in the case of opposing fans, hoping) for the incredible historic season that Dodgers international superstar Shohei Ohtani is having to subside – or even slow down a little – are going to have to wait (and hope) another day, week, or perhaps month. As he has done all season long […]
(Read More)Rojas Hits for the Ground Out Cycle
We hear the promo all the time: “Step on the bag, throw to second, throw to first, that’s a triple play!” It happened … and at the absolute worst possible time – unless you happen to be a San Diego Padres fan. But you probably wouldn’t be reading this if you were. To say that […]

Exactly as it was supposed to be! With the National League West last-place Colorado Rockies leading the National League West first-place Los Angeles Dodgers by a score of 5-4 heading into the bottom of the ninth inning in front of a sold out Dodger Stadium crowd of 50,730 (with millions more watching on television and […]
