In the 22 […]

It was never a matter of if, but when. The when came during the NL West first-place Los Angeles Dodgers’ 4-0 win over the AL Central first-place Cleveland Guardians in front of a (mostly happy) Dodger Stadium crowd of 44,207, when 30-year-old international superstar Shohei Ohtani slugged his 46th home run of the season; this […]

With 20 regular-season games remaining for the Dodgers in 2024, utility infielder/outfielder Gavin Lux is slashing a respectable .251/.313/.393/.706, with 10 home runs. However, the 26-year-old Kenosha, WI native and Dodgers first-round draft pick in 2016 out of Indian Trail High School in Kenosha has driven in 46 runs in the 121 games in which he […]

Immediately following Dodgers right-hander Bobby Miller‘s 11th start of the 2024 regular season which ended in an ugly 10-1 loss to the Angels of Anaheim at The Big A on Wednesday night, a noticeably annoyed Dodgers manager Dave Roberts told reporters that the performance of the 25-year-old  Elk Grove Village, IL native and Dodgers first-round draft […]
