It was quick and it was subtle. And unless you turned on the Fox pregame show half an hour before Game-2 of the National League Championship Series between the Los Angeles Dodgers and New York Mets at Dodger Stadium on Monday afternoon, you missed it. For those who did miss it, Hall of Famer, 10-time […]
(Read More)Biggest Series of the Season?
The Dodgers will enter this weekend’s three-game series against the San Francisco Giants at Dodger Stadium exactly 1.0 games ahead of … the San Francisco Giants. Although the Dodgers will have 90 regular-season games remaining following Sunday’s series finale against The Hated Ones, the significance of this series cannot be understated or ignored. In other […]
Haters Gonna Hate
Following the Dodgers ugly 11-1 loss to the San Diego Padres on Tuesday, @MLB Now posted this on social media (X.com): No seriously, they really did. Although @MLBNow is a reputable social media site, there may be some – perhaps even many – who see this as yet another anti-Dodgers post. The cold hard truth […]
Ouch
Not much to say about this one except ouch. With the loss, the Dodgers now have a precarious half-game lead over the (now) second-place San Francisco Giants, who have won six straight. Ouch. Play ball! * * * * * *
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 […]

Flaherty = Dialed
October 14th, 2024 at 8:00 am 
by Ron Cervenka Twenty-eight-year-old Dodgers right-hander Jack Flaherty (who turns 29 on Tuesday) was nothing short of sensational in Game-1 of the 2024 National League Championship Series in front of a sold out Dodger Stadium crowd of 53,503 on Sunday evening. All the popular Burbank, CA native and first-round draft pick in 2014 by the St. Louis Cardinals […]

Win or Go Home
October 9th, 2024 at 8:00 am by Ron Cervenka It was the single worst inning of the season – or ever – in MLB history: That inning was the top of the second of Game 3 of the National League Division Series between the NL West first-place Los Angeles Dodgers and their division-rival San Diego Padres in front of a Petco Park crowd of […]

Just What The Dodgers Didn’t Need
October 7th, 2024 at 8:00 am by Ron Cervenka 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.

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 […]
