(Read More)The Force Be With May
The last time 27-year-old Dodgers right-hander Dustin May threw a pitch in an MLB game was on May 17, 2023. That was 20 months ago – or 90.4 weeks ago – or 648 days ago. On Sunday afternoon in front of a Camelback Ranch crowd of 12,235, the Justin, TX native and Dodgers third round draft […]
Too Close For Comfort
It wasn’t a ball or strike close call, or a safe or out close call. It was a brush-with-death close call, and it was absolutely terrifying for anyone who saw it in person at Camelback Ranch, watched it live on SportsNet LA, or saw it later on every major news channel. It was a 106-MPH line-drive […]
Dodgers in Everyone’s Sights
On Saturday, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts confirmed what Dodger fans have known since 1883: “There’s going to be a target on our back, and we have to show up day in, day out, improve every single day in any way that we can,” Roberts told reporters following his team’s first full-squad workout of Spring Training […]

Make It Stop!
May 26th, 2024 at 8:00 am 
by Ron Cervenka Well, they did it again. The National League West first place Los Angeles Dodgers had their lunches handed to them – again – on Saturday afternoon/evening in front of a sold out Great American Ball Park crowd of 41,880, a good many of whom were sporting Dodger Blue, and did this – again – in […]

Different Day – Same Story
May 25th, 2024 at 8:00 am by Ron Cervenka Friday’s 9-6 Dodgers loss to the National League Central last place Cincinnati Reds at Great American Ball Park ranks right up there as among the ugliest of the season for Dodgers manager Dave Roberts‘ team. I mean, the game was tied 5-5 with two outs and the bases loaded in the bottom of the fifth […]

Unacceptable
May 23rd, 2024 at 8:00 am by Ron Cervenka Despite losing consecutive games to their division rival Arizona Diamondbacks, the Dodgers maintained their respectable and acceptable 7.0-game lead over the NL West second place San Diego Padres, an 8.0-game lead over the tied-for-third-place San Francisco Giants and Dbacks, and a 15.0-game lead over the NL West last place Colorado Rockies. But what isn’t respectable […]

Dodgers Offensive Woes Continue
May 22nd, 2024 at 8:00 am by Ron Cervenka On Tuesday evening, the NL West first place Dodgers lost to the NL West third place Arizona Diamondbacks by a score of 7-3 in a game in which they managed only six hits in front of a less-than-pleased Dodger Stadium crowd of 46,180. “We couldn’t get to (Diamondbacks starting right-hander Brandon) Pfaadt early and ended […]

A Game of Inches
May 19th, 2024 at 8:30 am by Ron Cervenka It became very apparent very quickly that Dodgers right-hander Walker Buehler was dialed in during his team’s 4-0 shutout win over the Cincinnati Reds at Dodger Stadium on Saturday evening. In only his third Major League start since June 10, 2022, the 29-year-old Lexington, KY native and Dodgers first round draft pick in 2015 out […]

Dodgers Made The Right Choice
May 18th, 2024 at 4:00 pm by Ron Cervenka When 27-year-old Dodgers outfielder James Outman was good, he was oh so good. So good, in fact, that a good many Dodgers fans were a bit concerned that when 34-year-old Dodgers outfielder Jason Heyward was due to return to action following his 40-game stint on the injured list for lower back tightness, that it would […]

It Was Inevitable
May 17th, 2024 at 5:45 pm by Ron Cervenka Meaning no disrespect whatsoever to 27-year-old Dodgers outfielder James Outman, it was never a matter of if but when. The when came around 4 PM on Friday afternoon, when the Dodgers posted this on social media: There is no disputing that the extremely popular Redwood City, CA native and Dodgers seventh-round draft pick in 2018 […]

Dodgers Farmhand Has ‘Historic Cheese’
May 17th, 2024 at 8:00 am by Ron Cervenka Remember his name, Dodgers fans – it’s Reynaldo Yean. He is a 20-year-old right-handed relief pitcher from Sabana Grande de Boya in the Dominican Republic who signed a Minor League free agent contract with the Dodgers on July 5, 2021. Why so, you ask? I’ll give you 104 reasons, as in a 104-mph fastball. On […]

Thank You Padres
May 15th, 2024 at 8:00 am by Jesse Pearce Thanking the Padres for taking two of the three games from the Dodgers last weekend (May 11-13) may be a bit snarky, but within the sarcasm is a subtle, but important reminder. In any given series of games (best of three, best of five, best of seven) a team can rise up and defeat a […]
