Most of us learned very early in life that there are two basic types of people in this world: those who Talk the Talk, and those who Walk the Walk. Dodgers future Hall of Fame right fielder Mookie Betts is Walking the Walk. There were some, many perhaps, who thought that the 12-year / $365 […]
(Read More)What. A. Game.
In the grand scheme of things, Friday’s game between the NL West first-place Los Angeles Dodgers and the NL West fifth-place Arizona Diamondbacks at Chase Field was basically a meaningless game. However, in that same grand scheme of things, you will have a very difficult time convincing anyone of its meaninglessness. Also, if you missed […]
Something Ain’t Right

Dodgers Lose Another Winnable Game
In what seems like a growing trend, the Dodgers lost another should-have-won game on Tuesday, this one a 10th-inning 5-4 loss to the NL East last place Miami Marlins at LoanDepot Park in Miami. As he has now done in his last several relief appearances, 38-year-old (that’s not a typo) Dodgers right-hander Luis García turned […]

by 0799291000348 If the name Mookie Betts immediately comes to mind, welcome to the club. He certainly has the resume to support that status.

The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Urías
September 18th, 2020 at 8:00 am by Ron Cervenka Through his nine starts thus far in the COVID-19-shortened 2020 season, Dodgers left-hander Julio Urías has an atrocious combined first-inning earned run average of 8.00 (eight earned runs in nine innings pitched). But then, as if by magic (or secret serum), he suddenly turns things around and pitches like the star that the Dodgers gambled […]

September 15th, 2020 at 8:00 am by Ron Cervenka Fact: Thirty-two-year-old / 13-year MLB veteran Dodgers left-hander Clayton Kershaw is a future first-ballot Hall of Famer. Fact: Barring the Second Coming or a second Parting of the Red Sea, the only way that 23-year-old / second-year (rookie) major leaguer and San Diego Padres outfielder Trent Grisham gets into the sacred Halls of Cooperstown is […]
