It’s (Not) Gonna Be May

It’s Baaaack, and it happens every year right about now – the meme from the 1995 pop boy band NSYNC, in which lead vocalist Justin Timberlake insists that he said “It’s gonna be me,” not “It’s gonna be May” – this despite it sounding very much like the latter. Unfortunately for 27-year-old Dodgers right-hander Dustin […]

Giving Credit Where Due

A tip of my 2024 Dodgers World Series cap to Andy Pages. Over the years, Dodgers fans have patiently watched as highly touted prospects struggle to make the transition to the Major League team. Whether it is a hole in their swing or lack of pitch movement or command, other teams seize on these flaws […]

Dodgers Take Opener In Atlanta

The box score lists Friday night’s game time between the Los Angeles Dodgers and Atlanta Braves at Truist Park in downtown Atlanta at 2:19, but it also included a 1:13 rain delay, which the eight-year-old ballpark is famous for. But in the end, the (now) 22-10 National League West first-place Dodgers walked away with the […]

Taylor Made

Having gone 4-for-16 (.250) with four strikeouts in his first 18 games thus far this season, there are a number of Dodgers fans who wouldn’t be the least bit upset if 34-year-old Dodgers utility infielder/outfielder Chris Taylor were designated for assignment or traded. To be fair, the Virginia Beach, VA native and fifth-round draft pick in […]

Just Kershaw Being Kershaw

It wasn’t a no-hitter or even a shutout, but it was vintage Clayton Kershaw, and it was a treat for the 3,085 on hand at Chickasaw Bricktown Ballpark in downtown Oklahoma City to witness first hand. The Dallas, TX native and Dodgers first-round draft pick in 2006 out of Highland Park High School in Dallas […]

Fans who watched, listened to, or were among the 46,502 at Dodger Stadium on Tuesday night, were treated to what was among one of the most incredible Dodgers games they will ever watch, listen to, or see in person, as their beloved team pounded the NL East last place Miami Marlins 15-2. Among the many […]

Terrific Tommy Tanks!

If you are not onboard the Tommy Edman band wagon by now, there’s a pretty good chance that you never will be. For the sixth time in his (thus far) seven-year MLB career, the extremely popular Pontiac, MI native and second-year Dodger delivered a game-winning hit, this one a perfectly placed single down the right field […]

‘Andy Pages – Out of his mind!’

It was only a matter of time for Dodgers outfielder Andy Pages, and that time came on Saturday afternoon in the Dodgers 9-2 rout of the now 11-18 NL Central last place Pittsburgh Pirates in front of a Dodger Stadium crowd of 49,512. The extremely popular 24-year-old La Habana, Cuba native went 4-for-5 with a […]

What’s Up at OKC?

Some bits and pieces from the Dodgers Triple-A team at Oklahoma City (Comets): James Outman has a nine game hitting streak. Over that period he has hit .417 and slashed .270/.337/.539/.876 during the month of April. The 28-year-old Outman may never play another game for the Dodgers, but he could become a valuable trade piece […]

Teo + Kiké = 5

Although the final score of Saturday’s game between the (now) NL West second place Los Angeles Dodgers and the (still) NL Central last place Pittsburgh Pirates reads 8-4 Dodgers in the scorebooks, it very well could – and perhaps should – read 5-4 Hernándezs, as in Teoscar and Kiké. The not-related Hernándezs slugged solo and […]
