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 […]

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 […]

It was never a matter of if, but when. The when came during the NL West first-place Los Angeles Dodgers’ 4-0 win over the AL Central first-place Cleveland Guardians in front of a (mostly happy) Dodger Stadium crowd of 44,207, when 30-year-old international superstar Shohei Ohtani slugged his 46th home run of the season; this […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
