All the Elk Grove Village, IL native and Dodgers first round draft pick in 2020 out of the University of Louisville did in his final tune-up of the Spring in Game-1 of the […]
(Read More)Keeping It in the Family
When you peruse the list of the Dodgers 24 non-roster invitees to Spring Training 2025 and in addition to 23-year-old international superstar right-hander Roki Sasaki, there is one other name that jumps out at you.

Stop the Whining!
As you all know by now, Ichiro Suzuki was one vote short of a unanimous, first-ballot selection to the Major League Baseball Hall of Fame class of 2025. There couldn’t be hanging chad, the ballots were old fashioned paper and pen/pencil. Were all of the mail ballots thoroughly checked; double and triple checked? There must […]
Remaining Roster Tweaking
With 23-year-old Roki Sasaki added to the Dodgers pitching staff, the team can now focus on tweaking the roster for their pursuit of the 2025 World Championship.

Two Games Does Not A Season Make, But…
March 21st, 2024 at 1:00 pm by Ron Cervenka It would be ludicrous to judge a Major League Baseball team after only two regular season games. But it would also be negligent to ignore some potential early warning signs; not for the purpose of reassignment or DFA-ing, but hopefully to work on and correct those early warning sign issues – say, like, committing two […]

Takin’ It To The Max
March 18th, 2024 at 11:30 am by Ron Cervenka Fact: Baseball was never intended to be watched at 3 a.m., unless, of course, it is to continue watching an extra inning game that began during normal baseball-watching hours. Fact: South Korea’s Kiwoom Heroes were no match for the Los Angeles Dodgers, who bested them by a score of 5-2 at the beautiful Gocheok Sky […]

It was the first of two exhibition games […]

이제 다저스 야구를 할 시간이다
March 15th, 2024 at 8:00 am by Ron Cervenka According to Google, that’s “Its Time for Dodger Baseball” in Korean. (I’ll just have to take their word for it). Regardless, the Dodgers landed safely at Incheon International Airport in Seoul, South Korea very early (PDT) on Friday morning, ahead of Wednesday’s and Thursday’s 2024 regular season opener against the San Diego Padres at Gocheok […]

Yamamoto Struggles in Final Spring Start
March 14th, 2024 at 8:00 am by Ron Cervenka It was one of those ‘speed bump’ kind of outings for Dodgers right-hander Yoshinobu Yamamoto in his final start of Spring Training 2024 against the Seattle Mariners at Camelback Ranch on Wednesday afternoon. After striking out the side in the top of the first inning on nine pitches and retiring nine of the first 11 […]
