You would think that after six All-Star Game appearances, five Gold Gloves, two World Series Championships, one MLB Player of the Year award, and one Wilson Overall Defensive Player of the Year Award, opposing baserunners would have learned that you do not run on Dodgers right fielder Mookie Betts – ever. You would think. The […]

You Can’t Win Them All
Beloved Dodgers Hall of Fame manager Tommy Lasorda said it best: “No matter how good you are, you’re going to lose one-third of your games. No matter how bad you are you’re going to win one-third of your games. It’s the other third that makes the difference.” After winning eight games in a row, the […]
(Read More)Confidence, Not Arrogance
When you walk into the Dodgers clubhouse you immediately notice two things: There is a tremendous air of confidence in the room. It’s confidence, not arrogance from the best team in the National League with their 64-30 record and second-best team in all of baseball behind only the 66-31 New York Yankees. “This is as […]
(Read More)Dodgers Enjoy ‘Team Win’ in Sweep of Giants
The 2022 Dodgers have several future Hall of Famers, several outstanding players, and the rest (just) exceptionally good players on their current 26-man active team roster. On Sunday afternoon in front of a Dodger Stadium crowd of 47,505, 15 members of that current NL West first place Dodgers roster (nine position players and six pitchers) […]
(Read More)‘The Big Three’ Connect
It took 93 games into the Dodgers 2022 regular season, but the inevitable finally happened. During Game-3 of the four-game series against the division-rival San Francisco Giants at Dodger Stadium on Saturday afternoon, ‘The Big Three’ (as they are affectionately known) all homered in the same game – recent Dodgers All-Stars Mookie Betts, Trea Turner, […]
(Read More)Are Belli Bombs Back?
Thursday night was ‘Cody Bellinger Bobblehead Night’ at Dodger Stadium. And though the 27-year-old Scottsdale, AZ native and Dodgers fourth-round draft pick in 2013 out of Hamilton High School in Chandler, AZ went 0-for-3 at the plate, he had what would prove to be a huge walk in the bottom of the eighth inning that […]
(Read More)The Biggest At-Bat On Thursday Night Probably Isn’t The One You’re Thinking Of
In a game that had three singles, four doubles, one triple and two home runs for a total of 10 Dodgers hits, there are plenty of at-bats to choose from that you would consider the most important of the game. But buried in all those at-bats, more specifically, the seven Dodgers at-bats in the bottom […]
(Read More)Dodgers Begin Second Half With 7-Game Homestand
The Dodgers will open the second half of the 2022 season with a seven-game homestand against the San Francisco Giants (July 21-24) and Washington Nationals (July 25-27) on Thursday evening, having just hosted the 92nd All-Star Game. Tickets remain available for all games at Dodgers.com/tickets. This will be the first time the San Francisco Giants […]
(Read More)Trading Deadline – Starting Pitching
Let’s get to it – no beating around the bush! The Dodgers need another starting pitcher. Not a marginal, innings-eater for the fourth or fifth spot in the rotation, a legit, top-of-rotation guy. A pitcher who can be counted upon in the postseason to shut down the best hitters on the planet as the Dodgers […]
(Read More)Tony Gonsolin Is Still 11-0
Fact: When play resumes on Thursday evening following Tuesday’s 92nd MLB All-Star Game held at Dodger Stadium for the first time since 1980, Dodgers right-hander Tony Gonsolin will begin the (unofficial) second-half of the 2022 regular season with an MLB-best 11-0 record and a National League second-best 2.02 ERA.
