When the Dodgers announced their starting lineup for Saturday’s game with the Cleveland Guardians at Dodger Stadium, 29-year-old superstar right fielder Mookie Betts was in it; his first game back since colliding with center fielder Cody Bellinger the Wednesday before. In fact, during his pregame media scrum, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts told reporters that the […]

It is a term that (unfortunately) became quite common back in the (very) early days of the original ThinkBlueLA forum – a ‘SHW’ game – ‘Should Have Won.’ On Friday night, the Dodgers lost a ‘SHW’ game to the Cleveland Guardians by a score of 2-1 in 10 innings. It was the fifth time that […]

To coin a phrase used and made popular in television commercials back in the late seventies, “Thanks, I (we) needed that.” With as good as he has been thus far this season, 32-year-old Dodgers left-hander Tyler Anderson taking a no-hitter into the ninth inning against the Angels of Anaheim wasn’t the biggest surprise on Wednesday […]

Although the Dodgers still have a lot of baseball yet to play in the 2022 MLB regular season (101 games to be exact), right-hander Tony Gonsolin remains the best pitcher in the game and is clearly the early frontrunner for the 2022 National League Cy Young Award. All the Vacaville, CA native and Dodgers ninth-round draft […]

The Dodgers begin a five-game homestand tomorrow night which kicks off with a two-game set against their crosstown rival, the Los Angeles Angels during the Freeway Series (June 14-15). After an off-day Thursday spent at the Los Angeles Dodgers Foundation’s Blue Diamond Gala, the team will face the newly named Cleveland Guardians for three games […]

Watching the best team in baseball get swept by the not-best team in baseball was […]

It happens more often than one may realize – something that Dodgers fans are (painfully) far too familiar with – their team misses making the postseason by exactly one game. And heaven forbid, should it happen again in 2022, Dodgers fans won’t have to look very long or very hard to find ‘That’ game. ‘That‘ […]

Although it may be a bit premature to say for certain, it appears that 27-year-old Dodgers right-hander Walker Buehler may be headed for the Injured List. …or worse. The Lexington, KY native and Dodgers first-round draft pick in 2015 out of Vanderbilt University left Friday night’s game against the San Francisco Giants at Oracle Park after […]

Fill in the blank, Dodgers fans. But as Frank Regan (‘Blue Bloods’ TV series) routinely reminds those around the family dinner table – “Keep it civil.” How would you concisely describe the current state of the Dodgers 2022 Bullpen? A mess may be too harsh, but sometimes the truth is messy. Inconsistent seems too soft […]
