Gavin Lux‘s second-inning sacrifice fly and Max Muncy‘s two-out solo home run in the bottom of the ninth was the sum and total of the the National League West first-place Los Angeles Dodgers’ offense in their ugly 10-2 loss to NL West second-place San Diego Padres in Game-2 of the 2024 NLDS on Sunday evening.

(Read More)Kershaw to the Rescue – Again
Under the category of: Thanks, we needed that, Dodgers ace and future first-ballot Hall of Famer Clayton Kershaw gave his team what Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said was “…clearly his best outing yet,” in the Dodgers 7-3 win over the NL Central second-place St. Louis Cardinals at Busch Stadium on Sunday. “The command was much […]
Strap In and Hang On
Here’s the deal. Between Friday, June 6 and Thursday, June 19, the NL West first-place Los Angeles Dodgers will play 16 games, with a scheduled off day on Thursday, June 12. Of those 16 games, seven will be against the NL West second-place San Diego Padres – the first three at Petco Park June 9-11, […]
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. During Saturday’s 18-2 pounding of the AL East first-place New York Yankees by the NL West first-place Los Angeles Dodgers in front of a Dodger Stadium crowd […]
Hollywood Stuff
It was as if they had read it from a Hollywood script – and it was epic. With one out and on the third pitch that New York Yankees right fielder and future Hall of Famer Aaron Judge saw from struggling Dodgers right-hander Tony Gonsolin (an 89.7-MPH slider right down Broadway, no pun intended), the […]

Teo Does It Again
October 6th, 2024 at 8:00 am 
by Ron Cervenka Dodgers outfielder Teoscar Hernández may not be the flashiest guy in Dodgers manager Dave Roberts‘ (almost) everyday starting lineup, but he unquestionably is among the most clutch. Teo did it again in the Dodgers 7-5 win over the San Diego Padres on Tuesday evening in front of a packed Dodger Stadium crowd of 52,028 in […]

If It’s Good Enough For Freddie, It’s Good Enough For Us
October 5th, 2024 at 8:00 am by Ron Cervenka When 26-year-old Dodgers right-hander Yoshinobu Yamamoto makes his first pitch of Game-1 of the 2024 National League Division Series against the San Diego Padres at Dodger Stadium at 5:38 PM PT on Saturday, it will have been exactly 10 days since Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman sprained his right ankle while trying to avoid a tag […]

Dodgers Get Great News at Great Time
October 3rd, 2024 at 8:00 am by Ron Cervenka Shortly after it was announced on Wednesday that 28-year-old Dodgers right-hander Jack Flaherty and 26-year-old Dodgers right-hander Yoshinobu Yamamoto would start Games 1 and 2 of the 2024 National League Division Series respectively against a then unknown opponent of either the Atlanta Braves or the San Diego Padres, who were going at it in the […]

Pete Rose – Yes or No?
October 1st, 2024 at 8:00 am by Ron Cervenka By now every baseball fan on the planet is aware that Pete Rose, the single best hitter to ever play the game, passed away on Monday in Nevada at the age of 83. Like him or not (and most Dodger fans did not because of that ‘single best hitter to ever play the game’ thing), he […]

‘The Pen Is Mightier Than The Sword’
September 27th, 2024 at 9:00 am by Ron Cervenka Although each of the 12 home runs that 23-year-old Dodgers rookie outfielder Andy Pages has hit during the 2024 regular (with three games remaining) have been important and memorable for the extremely popular La Habana, Cuba native, it is impossible to argue that his monster eighth-inning 428-foot two-run blast down the left field line to put […]

Shohei. Again.
September 26th, 2024 at 8:15 am by Ron Cervenka Baseball fans waiting (and in the case of opposing fans, hoping) for the incredible historic season that Dodgers international superstar Shohei Ohtani is having to subside – or even slow down a little – are going to have to wait (and hope) another day, week, or perhaps month. As he has done all season long […]

Rojas Hits for the Ground Out Cycle
September 25th, 2024 at 8:00 am by Ron Cervenka We hear the promo all the time: “Step on the bag, throw to second, throw to first, that’s a triple play!” It happened … and at the absolute worst possible time – unless you happen to be a San Diego Padres fan. But you probably wouldn’t be reading this if you were. To say that […]

Ohtani + Betts = Win
September 23rd, 2024 at 8:00 am by Ron Cervenka Exactly as it was supposed to be! With the National League West last-place Colorado Rockies leading the National League West first-place Los Angeles Dodgers by a score of 5-4 heading into the bottom of the ninth inning in front of a sold out Dodger Stadium crowd of 50,730 (with millions more watching on television and […]

A Sobering Fact
September 22nd, 2024 at 8:00 am by Ron Cervenka Following the National League West first-place Dodgers’ ugly 6-3 loss to the NL West last-place Colorado Rockies at Dodger Stadium on Saturday evening, their lead over the second-place San Diego Padres is now a precarious 3.0 games. And while some may say that a lead is a lead regardless of the number, there is something […]
