Baseball pundits have been unanimous in their assessment of the 2020 Dodgers; they are a supremely talented group of players with tremendous depth on the 40-man roster, and will not only qualify for their eighth consecutive MLB playoffs, but a favorite to play in the World Series. The team is making the experts look good […]
(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
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.

Turner Home Run Was ‘A Sign’
August 9th, 2020 at 12:00 pm by Ron Cervenka Every Dodger fan worth their salt knows that the greatest home run in Dodgers history was Kirk Gibson‘s “improbable/impossible” walk-off home run in Game-1 of the 1988 World Series.

Seager Out Again
August 9th, 2020 at 8:00 am by Jayann Kellogg Corey Seager‘s dream 2020 season took a turn for the worse on Friday night. It’s not that the 26-year-old Charlotte, NC native and Dodgers first-round draft pick in 2012 out of Northwest Cabarrus High School in Concord, NC is struggling at the plate or as the Dodgers everyday shortstop; good heavens, he batting .295 with three […]

Chris Taylor’s Inner- Mookie
August 6th, 2020 at 8:00 am by Ron Cervenka It seems like only yesterday that Dodgers newcomer and future Hall of Famer Mookie Betts made his spectacular throw from the right-field corner of Chase Field – on the fly – to nail Arizona Diamondbacks shortstop Ketel Marte at third base; so spectacular, in fact, that it earned Betts MLB’s “Play of the Week” honors.
