What’s Missing?
The Dodgers are tenuously holding on to first place in the National League’s Western Division, they are loaded with talent – four players are legit candidates for the Hall of Fame. But, there are too many games where fans watch uninspired Dodgers baseball. Foolish errors of omission and commission, hitters flailing away at pitches as […]
Muncy Reaches Milestone
Hitting 200 home runs is a highly respected and significant accomplishment over the course of a Major League career, which, of course, means hitting 201 is even better. During Saturday’s 18-2 pounding of the AL East first-place New York Yankees by the NL West first-place Los Angeles Dodgers in front of a Dodger Stadium crowd […]
Hollywood Stuff
It was as if they had read it from a Hollywood script – and it was epic. With one out and on the third pitch that New York Yankees right fielder and future Hall of Famer Aaron Judge saw from struggling Dodgers right-hander Tony Gonsolin (an 89.7-MPH slider right down Broadway, no pun intended), the […]
Dodgers Make Head-Scratching Move
To say that the Dodgers bullpen is a mess would be a gross understatement. As we all painfully witnessed in Wednesday’s ugly loss to the AL Central second-place Cleveland Guardians at Progressive Field, 30-year-old Dodgers left-hander Tanner Scott not only blew the save of what should have been future Hall of Famer Clayton Kershaw‘s first […]

Not So Great Scott
June 3rd, 2025 at 10:30 am by Ron Cervenka Thirty-year-old left-hander Tanner Scott had his worst outings in his thus far 28 games since donning a Dodgers uniform in his team’s 4-3 loss to the NL East first-place New York Mets in front of a Dodger Stadium crowd of 48,556 on Monday night, this despite his teammate’s valiant bottom-of-the-10th-inning effort at a comeback. “It’s […]

Dodgers Bullpen Rips Off Kershaw
May 29th, 2025 at 8:06 am by Ron Cervenka There is no kind or gentle way to put it, the Dodgers bullpen sucks of late – more specifically, 30-year-old Dodgers left-hander Tanner Scott, who turned what should have been Dodgers ace and future first ballot Hall of Famer Clayton Kershaw‘s first win of his injury-delayed 2025 season into a no-decision. Scott, who entered the […]

May, Teo Get It Done
May 22nd, 2025 at 7:15 am by Ron Cervenka If you were not among the 43,517 on hand at Dodger Stadium or one of the millions more watching on SportsNet LA or listening on AM 570 radio on Wednesday night, you missed what was one of the best pitching performances of Dodgers right-hander Dustin May‘s six-year MLB career. The 27-year-old Justin, TX native and […]
