It’s no secret that 32-year-old Dodgers outfielder Trayce Thompson has had an awful 2023 season to this point, slashing a less-than-stellar .155/.310/.366/.677 in the 36 games he has appeared in thus far this season. As such, when Dodgers manager Dave Roberts announced that the Los Angeles CA native and second round draft pick in 2009 […]

The Dodgers have used six rookies thus far in the 2023 season: infielder Michael Busch, pitcher Michael Grove, pitcher Andre Jackson, outfielder James Outman, pitcher Gavin Stone, and infielder Miguel Vargas. Pitcher Ryan Pepiot will be a seventh once he completes his rehabilitation and returns from the IL. Other than Pepiot, which Dodgers’ prospect is […]

When the NL West first-place Los Angeles Dodgers take the field against the NL West third-place San Diego Padres at beautiful Dodger Stadium at 7:10 PM (PT) on Friday, it will be the 38th game of the 2023 regular season for both teams. For you non-mathematicians (such as myself), this equates to exactly 23.4567% of […]

One month ago, February 22, we considered several multiple choice questions facing the Dodgers as they began spring training 2023. As promised, we will take a look in the rear view mirror and see how we scored. First question: What would the Dodgers do if either catcher, Austin Barnes or Will Smith, are placed on […]

Although there isn’t much good to say about the Dodgers 5-1 Spring Training loss to the division-rival Colorado Rockies at Sloan Park in Mesa, AZ on Monday night, there was something. Despite their lackluster one-run-on-five-hit offense that included exactly zero extra base hits, 24-year-old right-hander/designated hitter (that’s not a typo) Jake Pilarski, who pitched the […]

There is a place where no one wants to be. It is ‘Between a rock and a hard place.’ Dodgers outfielder James Outman is between a rock and a hard place, and most certainly by no fault of his own. Quite the contrary, in fact. Allow me to digress. In late July of 2022, Outman […]

There is a baseball saying as old as the game itself: “Walks kill you.” That is, of course, unless you are on the team receiving them, in which case it’s the proverbial: “A walk is as good as a hit.” During Friday’s Spring Training game between the Los Angeles Dodgers (of Los Angeles) and the […]

Meaning absolutely no disrespect whatsoever, if you had mentioned the name Hunter Feduccia to most Dodgers fans prior to Sunday’s Spring Training game between the Dodgers and Chicago Cubs at Camelback Ranch in Glendale, AZ, you probably would have been met with a quizzical look and a “Who?” But if you had mentioned that name […]

The first game of Spring Training is in the books leaving only 32 days until Opening Day at Dodger Stadium on March 30th against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Players and fans alike got a taste of some of the new rule changes in Saturday afternoon’s game. Most notably, the pitch timer, where violations of 15 seconds […]

Remember your days in school and the instructor would announce that the test would be multiple choice answers that were viewed by many as multiple guesses. Before the Dodgers play their first Cactus League game of 2023, let’s consider a few roster questions with their respective multiple choice answers. If either catcher, Austin Barnes or Will […]
