Buehler’s Back

Make no mistake about it, Dodgers right-hander Walker Buehler is back. In his 11th start since missing considerable time recovering from his second Tommy John surgery on August 15, 2022, the 30-year-old Lexington, KY native and Dodgers first-round draft pick in 2015 out of Vanderbilt was outstanding in his 4.2-inning start, allowing four runs (two […]

‘We’ll Be Ready To Go Tomorrow’

It’s a painfully familiar equation for Dodger fans: LOB + RISP = Loss. During Tuesday’s 3-2 loss to the American League East second place Baltimore Orioles in front of a sold out Dodger Stadium crowd of 52,382, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts‘ team went 1-for-8 with runners in scoring position, while leaving seven men on base.
