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 […]

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: […]

It was another one of those “Remember the time…” games that Dodgers fans will be talking about for years to come. In this case, it will be “Remember the time the Dodgers led off that game against the Arizona Diamondbacks with back-to-back-to-back home runs?” Those three-back-jacks came courtesy of Dodgers designated hitter Shohei Ohtani, right fielder […]

It was a Good News / Bad News night for the National League West first-place Los Angeles Dodgers in their nail-biting 10-9 win over their division-rival second-place Arizona Diamondbacks at Chase Field on Friday night. The good (great) news is that in addition to that win, 30-year-old international superstar Shohei Ohtani became the first player […]

Over the course of a 162-game regular season, winning – or losing – one game is no big deal, right? Yeah, well, try telling that to this 53,203 who were on hand at Dodger Stadium on Thursday night, or to the millions more watching on television or listening on the radio, as the NL West […]

Make no mistake about it, Dodgers right-hander Walker Buehler is back. In his 11th start since missing considerable time recovering from his second Tommy John surgery on August 15, 2022, the 30-year-old Lexington, KY native and Dodgers first-round draft pick in 2015 out of Vanderbilt was outstanding in his 4.2-inning start, allowing four runs (two […]

It’s a painfully familiar equation for Dodger fans: LOB + RISP = Loss. During Tuesday’s 3-2 loss to the American League East second place Baltimore Orioles in front of a sold out Dodger Stadium crowd of 52,382, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts‘ team went 1-for-8 with runners in scoring position, while leaving seven men on base. […]

Almost every night, Dodger fans witness something incredible – if not historic – from international superstar Shohei Ohtani. The 30-year-old Oshu, Japan native leads the National League in home runs (41), runs scored (100), SLG (.625), OPS (.994), and Total Bases (312). For good measure, he leads the Dodgers in At-Bats (507), hits (148), triples […]

On August 20, 2024, 35-year-old 15-year MLB veteran outfielder Jason Heyward hit what many consider to be the single biggest home run of the 2024 season in the Dodgers exciting 6-3 win over the Seattle Mariners, a game-winning 372-foot three-run blast into the visitors right field bullpen in front of a Dodger Stadium crowd of […]

Even though it (presumably) wasn’t intentional, Tampa Bay Rays left-hander Richard Lovelady hitting Dodgers designated hitter Shohei Ohtani on his left forearm with a 91.8-MPH sinker to lead off the bottom of the eighth inning on a 2-1 count with the scored tied at 1-1 was not a good idea. It did, however, cause the […]
