If you’ve never heard of it before, it absolutely does exist – ‘The Filth-Meter.’ If you don’t believe it, just ask Dodgers manager Dave Roberts who, following his team’s exciting 5-2 win over the division-rival San Diego Padres on Tuesday night at Petco Park, had this to say about 22-year-old right-hander Dustin May: “I couldn’t […]
(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. For others, the time comes at higher levels of the sport – travel ball, high school, college, or the professional minor […]

Roberts Might Want to Rethink the Leadoff Role
August 4th, 2020 at 8:00 am 
by Ron Cervenka Last season, Dodgers outfielder Joc Pederson led the National League with nine leadoff home runs against right-handed pitchers. In doing so, he set a new Dodgers franchise record for leadoff home runs in a season, topping the previous record of eight set by … Joc Pederson. This is rather impressive when you stop and think […]

Seager Day-to-Day with Left Quad Issue
August 3rd, 2020 at 11:00 am by Jayann Kellogg Dodgers shortstop Corey Seager has had a great start to the 2020 season.

Everyone Was Worried About Bellinger Except Bellinger
August 3rd, 2020 at 8:00 am by Ron Cervenka To the surprise of many (or even most) Dodger fans, last year’s National League home run leader and reigning NL MVP Cody Bellinger went 10 games before finally hitting his first home run of the COVID-19-shortened 2020 season, causing many (or even most) to believe that whatever changes he had made to his Ted Williams-esque […]

Where’s Belli?
August 2nd, 2020 at 8:00 am by Jayann Kellogg You would have to be living under a rock to not notice that Dodgers outfielder / first baseman and reigning 2019 National League MVP Cody Bellinger is not hitting anything like he has in seasons past. During the quarantine, the 25-year-old Scottsdale, AZ native and Dodgers fourth-round draft pick in 2013 out of Hamilton High […]

MLB Tears Off the Scab
July 31st, 2020 at 10:15 am by 0799291000348 Do you remember accidentally tearing-off a scab from a deep wound that was not yet fully healed? Painful! Metaphorically, that is exactly what MLB did on July 29 when it suspended Dodgers pitcher Joe Kelly eight games (the equivalent of 22 games in a normal 162 game season) for supposedly throwing pitches at Houston Astros […]

Pollock Continues to Impress in Early Goings
July 31st, 2020 at 9:00 am by Ron Cervenka When the Dodgers signed 32-year-old veteran outfielder A.J. Pollock to a lofty 4-year / $55 million free agent contract prior to the 2019 season, they were hoping that he would do for them what he used to do against them in his seven seasons with their division-rival Arizona Diamondbacks. He did not. Instead and despite […]

And the Dodgers Best Hitter Is…
July 30th, 2020 at 9:30 am by Ron Cervenka Let’s be honest here; with the Dodgers having 2019 NL MVP Cody Bellinger, four-time All-Star and three-time Silver Slugger Mookie Betts, and guys named Joc Pederson, Max Muncy, and Corey Seager on their 2020 roster, if you had picked A.J. Pollock to be the team’s best hitter after the first week of the 2020 season, […]

Corey Seager – Tuesday Night’s Other Hero
July 29th, 2020 at 12:00 pm by Max Letaconnoux Most of us went to sleep Tuesday night chuckling to ourselves over Dodgers right-hander Joe Kelly‘s now-infamous ‘oopsie’ pitch that buzzed the tower of Astros third baseman Alex Bregman in the bottom of the sixth inning in the Dodgers eventual 5-2 win over the confirmed-cheating Houston Astros. But truth be told, a lot else happened […]

Message Delivered
July 29th, 2020 at 10:00 am by 0799291000348 The Dodgers waited 28-weeks to deliver their in-person message to the Houston Astros (aka Houston Cheetos) for robbing them of the 2017 World Championship. Oh sure, many Dodgers players voiced their disgust of the cheating Astros players and organization shortly after MLB commissioner Rob Manfred released his report that forever labeled the 2017 and 2018 […]
