Eleven To Make Two

Dodgers international superstar Shohei Ohtani‘s third-inning two-run home run against the Miami Marlins on Tuesday was his 48th of the season.

Boy Did He (We) Need That!

With the Dodgers having lost 31-year-old right-handed Tyler Glasnow for the remainder of the season due to a sprained right elbow, and with their starting rotation in a bit of disarray of late, they needed – absolutely needed – a strong start from 30-year-old right-hander Walker Buehler, as he continues to work his way back […]

It’s All About the Money

It is a topic that comes up every time a team playing Our National Pastime at its highest level, including one considered by many to be among the best in the game today with one with the highest payrolls in the game today: Should teams having their lunches being handed to them (I cleaned that […]

LA’s New Tank

It was only a matter of time. Because of his Ruthian-like seven weeks since being traded to the Dodgers from the St.Louis Cardinals on July 29, teammates Miguel Rojas and Gavin Lux began calling 29-year-old Dodgers utility infielder Tommy Edman “Tommy Tanks,” which quickly caught on in the Dodgers clubhouse and dugout. In the 22 […]

Ohtani Becomes MLB’s First 46/46 Player

It was never a matter of if, but when.

Another Game-Winner For Lux

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 […]

‘Unacceptable’

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 […]

Angels Pick Wrong Poison

If ever there were a ‘pick your poison’ situation for 72-year-old Angels manager Ron Washington, this was it. With the score tied at 2-2 after nine, Dodgers third baseman Max Muncy led off the top of the 10th inning by grounding out to Angels second baseman Brandon Drury to advanced Dodgers placed runner Tommy Edman […]

Beyond The Babe?

Dodger fans are blessed to be alive during the Shohei Ohtani era. They are even more blessed that he will (presumably) be wearing a Dodger uniform through the 2033 season. Simply put, the 30-year-old Oshu, Japan native is our generation’s Babe Ruth … only better. A bit bold and presumptuous, you say? Perhaps, but consider this: […]
