Fans who have followed Major League Baseball for a while most certainly remember Hall of Fame outfielder Reggie Jackson. The oft-controversial Abington, PA native and first round draft pick in 1966 by the (then) Kansas City Athletics out of Arizona State University spent a remarkable 21 seasons in the Bigs – 10 with the A’s, five […]

International superstar Shohei Ohtani is 2-for-7 (.286) with three walks and two strikeouts in his 10 plate appearances through the first two games of the 2024 National League Championship Series. Although most Major Leaguers would kill for a .286 NLCS batting average, it is rather un-Ohtani-like and brought to mind the timeless classic poem ‘Casey […]

It was quick and it was subtle. And unless you turned on the Fox pregame show half an hour before Game-2 of the National League Championship Series between the Los Angeles Dodgers and New York Mets at Dodger Stadium on Monday afternoon, you missed it. For those who did miss it, Hall of Famer, 10-time […]

Twenty-eight-year-old Dodgers right-hander Jack Flaherty (who turns 29 on Tuesday) was nothing short of sensational in Game-1 of the 2024 National League Championship Series in front of a sold out Dodger Stadium crowd of 53,503 on Sunday evening. All the popular Burbank, CA native and first-round draft pick in 2014 by the St. Louis Cardinals […]

It was the single worst inning of the season – or ever – in MLB history: That inning was the top of the second of Game 3 of the National League Division Series between the NL West first-place Los Angeles Dodgers and their division-rival San Diego Padres in front of a Petco Park crowd of […]

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. […]

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 […]

When 26-year-old Dodgers right-hander Yoshinobu Yamamoto makes his first pitch of Game-1 of the 2024 National League Division Series against the San Diego Padres at Dodger Stadium at 5:38 PM PT on Saturday, it will have been exactly 10 days since Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman sprained his right ankle while trying to avoid a tag […]

Shortly after it was announced on Wednesday that 28-year-old Dodgers right-hander Jack Flaherty and 26-year-old Dodgers right-hander Yoshinobu Yamamoto would start Games 1 and 2 of the 2024 National League Division Series respectively against a then unknown opponent of either the Atlanta Braves or the San Diego Padres, who were going at it in the […]

By now every baseball fan on the planet is aware that Pete Rose, the single best hitter to ever play the game, passed away on Monday in Nevada at the age of 83. Like him or not (and most Dodger fans did not because of that ‘single best hitter to ever play the game’ thing), he […]
