You know the old saying: “Any team can beat any other team on any given day.” That team was the National League Central last place Pittsburgh Pirates, and that given day was Friday, April 25, in front of a sold out Dodger Stadium crowd of 53,655.

Those rumors and suppositions are rooted in the performance of Andy Pages, the team’s de facto center fielder, as he struggles offensively and defensively. While Pages occasionally comes through with a big hit or defensive play, his overall body […]

Don’t want to put the cart in front of the horse (or jinx it), but it could happen today: First pitch is scheduled for 11:35 AM PT from Globe Life Field in Arlington,TX with a pair of right-handed California Tylers on the hill – 31-year-old Glasnow from Newhall for the Dodgers and 30-year-old Mahle from […]

There were 265 pitches thrown in Friday’s game between the Los Angeles Dodgers and Texas Rangers at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas, but the game was over after the second pitch of the game.
