In his second start of the season on Wednesday afternoon against the Washington Nationals at Nationals Park, 26-year-old Dodgers right-hander Landon Knack allowed two runs on two hits, while walking three and striking out five in the Dodgers 11-2 win to earn his first Major League […]
(Read More)The Hottest Ticket In Town
On Sunday evening, the NL West first place Los Angeles Dodgers announced (via social media) that 30-year-old international superstar Shohei Ohtani would be making his Dodgers pitching debut against the NL West third place San Diego Padres at Dodger Stadium on Monday evening. As you might expect, this announcement had cellphones buzzing and chirping like […]
A Good Day
It’s been a long row to hoe, but if Saturday’s 11-5 Dodgers win over the hated division-rival San Francisco Giants is any indication, it is abundantly clear that 37-year-old Dodgers future first ballot Hall of Fame left-hander Clayton Kershaw is back to his old self. The Dallas, TX native and Dodgers first-round draft pick in […]
Biggest Series of the Season?
The Dodgers will enter this weekend’s three-game series against the San Francisco Giants at Dodger Stadium exactly 1.0 games ahead of … the San Francisco Giants. Although the Dodgers will have 90 regular-season games remaining following Sunday’s series finale against The Hated Ones, the significance of this series cannot be understated or ignored. In other […]
Haters Gonna Hate
Following the Dodgers ugly 11-1 loss to the San Diego Padres on Tuesday, @MLB Now posted this on social media (X.com): No seriously, they really did.

On Tuesday evening, extremely popular Dodgers designated […]

Who Woulda Thunk
April 16th, 2024 at 9:03 am by Jesse Pearce Looking in the rear-view mirror, 2022 was the beginning of a turbulent time for the Dodgers starting pitching. In 2021, the team signed Trevor Bauer to a three-year/$102M contract, but his off-field problems limited him to a total of 17 starts and 107 innings pitched. He did not throw a single pitch for the team […]

Home, Sweet Home
April 12th, 2024 at 8:00 am by Ron Cervenka Being in first place 15 games into the new season is nice, but it is certainly not indicative of how the 2024 regular season will ultimately play out. However, this week’s nine-game home stand with three against the NL West second-place San Diego Padres, three against the NL East fourth-place Washington Nationals, and three against […]

The Other Sure Thing
April 11th, 2024 at 8:30 am by Ron Cervenka We have long been told that there are only two sure things in life – death and taxes.
