Don’t want to put the cart in front of the horse (or jinx it), but it could happen today: First pitch is scheduled for 11:35 AM PT from Globe Life Field in Arlington,TX with a pair of right-handed California Tylers on the hill – 31-year-old Glasnow from Newhall for the Dodgers and 30-year-old Mahle from […]
(Read More)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 […]
Giving Credit Where Due
A tip of my 2024 Dodgers World Series cap to Andy Pages. Over the years, Dodgers fans have patiently watched as highly touted prospects struggle to make the transition to the Major League team. Whether it is a hole in their swing or lack of pitch movement or command, other teams seize on these flaws […]
Dodgers Take Opener In Atlanta
The box score lists Friday night’s game time between the Los Angeles Dodgers and Atlanta Braves at Truist Park in downtown Atlanta at 2:19, but it also included a 1:13 rain delay, which the eight-year-old ballpark is famous for. But in the end, the (now) 22-10 National League West first-place Dodgers walked away with the […]

by Ron Cervenka There were 265 pitches thrown in Friday’s game between the Los Angeles Dodgers and Texas Rangers at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas, but the game was over after the second pitch of the game. That’s when soon-to-be (on May 9) 30-year-old Dodgers second baseman and leadoff batter Tommy Edman (in place of Shohei Ohtani […]

Music To Our Ears
April 18th, 2025 at 8:00 am by Ron Cervenka By now every Dodger fan on the planet has heard that future first-ballot Hall of Famer Clayton Kershaw made his first rehab start with the Triple-A Oklahoma City Comets on Wednesday. If you haven’t, you can leave your Dodger hat at the door on the way out. In his 3.0-inning start, the Dallas, TX native […]

(Another) One For The Books
April 17th, 2025 at 8:00 am by Ron Cervenka It’s not often that you see a guy go 1-for-1 with a walk, a hit, a run scored, and a RBI, in the first inning. Then again, it is international superstar and future first-ballot Hall of Famer Shohei Ohtani that we’re talking about here. This is exactly what the 30-year-old Oshu, Japan native did in the […]

The New Maytag Man
April 16th, 2025 at 8:00 am by Ron Cervenka Those old enough to remember knew him as “The Maytag Man – the Loneliest Man in Town.” His real name was Jesse White and we saw him almost daily/nightly in television commercials from 1967 through 1988 portraying a lonely Maytag repairman who was never called because of the reliability of Maytag’s home appliances. Move over, […]

Not Getting It Done
April 14th, 2025 at 8:00 am by Ron Cervenka In the just completed three-game home series against the Chicago Cubs, a series that drew a combined 158,719 fans to Chavez Ravine, the Dodgers went 4-for-14 (.286) with runners in scoring position. Unfortunately, they also stranded 20 runners on base, which is absolutely unacceptable for a team with the highest payroll in Major League Baseball […]

Dodgers Set Wrong Kind of Records
April 13th, 2025 at 8:00 am by Ron Cervenka This ESPN post on Twitter (X.com) says everything Dodgers fans need to know about their team’s embarrassing 16-0 shutout loss to the Chicago Cubs in front of a sold out Dodger Stadium crowd of 53,887 on Saturday afternoon: Whereas, the Cubs amassed 21 hits (that’s not a typo) that included four home runs, the Dodgers […]

Yoshi + Tommy = W
April 12th, 2025 at 8:00 am by Ron Cervenka It’s almost automatic. When 26-year-old right-hander Yoshinobu Yamamoto is on the mound for the Dodgers, and when 29-year-old utility infielder/outfielder Tommy Edman is in the Dodgers lineup (which he has been in 14 of the Dodgers 15 games thus far this season), they usually win. It happened again on Friday night in front of a […]

Men of Steel
April 8th, 2025 at 9:00 am by Ron Cervenka Prior to Monday’s ugly 6-4 Dodgers loss to the Washington Nationals at Nationals Park, the team met with President Donald Trump in the Oval Office, where the Commander and Chief presented each player and staff member a commemorative Presidential coin. As our Commander and Chief did so, he shook the hand of each Dodger player […]
