What’s Missing?
The Dodgers are tenuously holding on to first place in the National League’s Western Division, they are loaded with talent – four players are legit candidates for the Hall of Fame. But, there are too many games where fans watch uninspired Dodgers baseball. Foolish errors of omission and commission, hitters flailing away at pitches as […]
Muncy Reaches Milestone
Hitting 200 home runs is a highly respected and significant accomplishment over the course of a Major League career, which, of course, means hitting 201 is even better.

Dodgers Make Head-Scratching Move
To say that the Dodgers bullpen is a mess would be a gross understatement. As we all painfully witnessed in Wednesday’s ugly loss to the AL Central second-place Cleveland Guardians at Progressive Field, 30-year-old Dodgers left-hander Tanner Scott not only blew the save of what should have been future Hall of Famer Clayton Kershaw‘s first […]

Walks Kill You
October 29th, 2024 at 10:15 am by Ron Cervenka It is a long proven fact that walks kill you. Not the ones you take around the block or in the park, but the base-on-ball type in baseball … unless you are the recipient of those walks, that is.

Right Man, Right Time
October 26th, 2024 at 7:00 am by Jesse Pearce If you have been a sports fan for any significant period of time, you’re familiar with the axiom – “The right man, in the right place, at the right time.” Kirk Gibson was that guy in the first game of the 1988 World Series, and Freddie Freeman was the man 36 years later in Game […]
