Is there anything more beautiful than a Dodgers Jersey? No, there is not, and as the saying goes, “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” The Dodgers are one of just a handful of MLB teams whose jersey and uniform have stayed almost entirely true to their original designs. That’s why the following moments in […]
(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 […]

In The Process We Trust
August 15th, 2020 at 8:00 am 
by Ron Cervenka It was more a matter of when rather than if, but with what we have been seeing from 25-year-old Dodgers outfielder / first baseman Cody Bellinger over the past week or so, it appears that his early-season slump is just about over.

Look What I Found!
August 13th, 2020 at 10:00 am by Kevin Fagan Cartoonists never throw anything away. Scraps of paper with ideas scribbled on them, books, newspaper clippings, and lots and lots of artwork. Today when I was rummaging around in my cluttered garage trying to find my car, I noticed a big box tucked away in the corner. It had been labeled “Programs & stuff” by […]

It’s Mookie Time … Again
August 13th, 2020 at 8:00 am by 0799291000348 Remember when Spring Training 2020 started?

‘The Barnes Line’
August 10th, 2020 at 12:00 pm by Ron Cervenka Wikipedia defines ‘The Mendoza Line’ as: An expression in baseball deriving from the name of shortstop Mario Mendoza, whose poor batting average is taken to define the threshold of incompetent hitting. The cutoff point is most often said to be .200 (Mendoza’s career average was slightly better than that, at .215) and, when a position player’s batting average falls below that level, the […]
