Dodgers right-hander Tony Gonsolin had the best pitching performance of his brief two-year MLB career on Saturday evening against the Colorado Rockies at Dodger Stadium. All the 6′-3″ / 205-pound Vacaville, CA native and Dodgers ninth-round draft pick in 2016 out of Saint Mary’s College in Moraga, CA did was allow only two runs (one earned) […]
(Read More)Something Ain’t Right
Although there has been no official word from the team (yet), it appeared from his very first pitch on Thursday evening that something wasn’t quite right with 26-year-old Dodgers right-hander Yoshinobu Yamamoto, who the Dodgers signed to an enormous international free agent contract back on December 27, 2023 to the tune of 12 years at […]
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 […]
Living Up To The Hype
It is a quote (cliché) attributed to NFL Hall of Fame coach Vince Lombardi that we’ve all heard dozens of times in our respective lives: “Act like you’ve been here before” Dodgers rookie sensation Hyeseong Kim acted like he’d “…been here before” when he made his major league debut with Dodgers against the Miami Marlins […]
Time to Hang It Up?
There comes a time in every baseball player’s life to hang up their bat, glove, and cleats. For some, it comes early when they struggle in Little League and decide to pursue other interests. For others, the time comes at higher levels of the sport – travel ball, high school, college, or the professional minor […]
It’s (Not) Gonna Be May
It’s Baaaack, and it happens every year right about now – the meme from the 1995 pop boy band NSYNC, in which lead vocalist Justin Timberlake insists that he said “It’s gonna be me,” not “It’s gonna be May” – this despite it sounding very much like the latter. Unfortunately for 27-year-old Dodgers right-hander Dustin […]

Notice to Cardboard Cutouts: Bring Your Glove!
September 5th, 2020 at 12:00 pm 
by Ron Cervenka Let’s be honest here – no one goes to a Dodger game not hoping to catch a home run ball. I mean, it’s as much a part of the game as a Dodger Dog and a seventh-inning chocolate malt, right? Who can forget the excitement of lifelong Dodger fan Keith Hupp when he caught Justin […]

Dodgers ‘Looking to Do Some Damage’
September 5th, 2020 at 8:00 am by Ron Cervenka Many years ago, former Dodgers outfielder and longtime San Francisco Giants and current Houston Astros manager Dusty Baker coined the phrase: “Keep it out of slam range.” On Friday night, the Dodgers did not “Keep it out of slam range.” In the top of the eighth inning of the three-game series opener with the division-rival Colorado Rockies at […]

‘Back to the Future’ with Clayton Kershaw
September 4th, 2020 at 8:00 am by Ron Cervenka It was as if we just stepped out of Dr. Emmett “Doc” Brown’s DeLorean time machine on June 18, 2014 – a day that every Dodger fan remembers well. That was, of course, the day that Dodgers ace and future Hall of Famer Clayton Kershaw threw his no-hitter against the Colorado Rockies at Dodger Stadium […]

Where Are the Betts Naysayers Now?
September 3rd, 2020 at 8:00 am by Ron Cervenka Remember when the Dodgers signed future Hall of Famer Mookie Betts to that insane 12-year / $365 million contract extension back on July 22, 2020? At the time, you didn’t have to look very hard or far to find Dodger fans clamoring: “NO ONE is worth that kind of money!” Funny; you don’t seem to […]

Bellinger Out with Tight Lat
September 2nd, 2020 at 8:00 am by Ron Cervenka Let’s face it, any time that Dodgers outfielder / first baseman Cody Bellinger isn’t in the starting lineup for any reason other than a preannounced scheduled day off, we immediately think the worst. Bellinger wasn’t in Tuesday’s starting lineup and it wasn’t preannounced. Yep, the 25-year-old Scottsdale, AZ native, 2017 NL Rookie of the Year, […]

September 1st, 2020 at 8:00 am by 0799291000348 No, this isn’t an obituary for 30-year old, now ex-Dodgers pitcher Ross Stripling; he is very much alive. But he will no longer be wearing Dodger Blue. Minutes before Monday’s August 31 MLB trade deadline, social media lit up with (confirmed) reports that the Bluebell, PA native and Dodgers fifth-round draft pick out of Texas A&M […]
