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 […]
(Read More)Strap In and Hang On
Here’s the deal. Between Friday, June 6 and Thursday, June 19, the NL West first-place Los Angeles Dodgers will play 16 games, with a scheduled off day on Thursday, June 12. Of those 16 games, seven will be against the NL West second-place San Diego Padres – the first three at Petco Park June 9-11, […]
What’s Missing?
The Dodgers are tenuously holding on to first place in the National League’s Western Division, they are loaded with talent – four players are legit candidates for the Hall of Fame. But, there are too many games where fans watch uninspired Dodgers baseball. Foolish errors of omission and commission, hitters flailing away at pitches as […]
Muncy Reaches Milestone
Hitting 200 home runs is a highly respected and significant accomplishment over the course of a Major League career, which, of course, means hitting 201 is even better. During Saturday’s 18-2 pounding of the AL East first-place New York Yankees by the NL West first-place Los Angeles Dodgers in front of a Dodger Stadium crowd […]
Hollywood Stuff
It was as if they had read it from a Hollywood script – and it was epic. With one out and on the third pitch that New York Yankees right fielder and future Hall of Famer Aaron Judge saw from struggling Dodgers right-hander Tony Gonsolin (an 89.7-MPH slider right down Broadway, no pun intended), the […]
Dodgers Make Head-Scratching Move
To say that the Dodgers bullpen is a mess would be a gross understatement. As we all painfully witnessed in Wednesday’s ugly loss to the AL Central second-place Cleveland Guardians at Progressive Field, 30-year-old Dodgers left-hander Tanner Scott not only blew the save of what should have been future Hall of Famer Clayton Kershaw‘s first […]

Dodgers Take Opener In Atlanta
May 3rd, 2025 at 7:00 am 
by Ron Cervenka 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 […]

Taylor Made
May 2nd, 2025 at 7:00 am by Ron Cervenka Having gone 4-for-16 (.250) with four strikeouts in his first 18 games thus far this season, there are a number of Dodgers fans who wouldn’t be the least bit upset if 34-year-old Dodgers utility infielder/outfielder Chris Taylor were designated for assignment or traded. To be fair, the Virginia Beach, VA native and fifth-round draft pick in […]

Just Kershaw Being Kershaw
May 1st, 2025 at 8:00 am by Ron Cervenka It wasn’t a no-hitter or even a shutout, but it was vintage Clayton Kershaw, and it was a treat for the 3,085 on hand at Chickasaw Bricktown Ballpark in downtown Oklahoma City to witness first hand. The Dallas, TX native and Dodgers first-round draft pick in 2006 out of Highland Park High School in Dallas […]

Sauer Power
April 30th, 2025 at 8:00 am by Ron Cervenka Fans who watched, listened to, or were among the 46,502 at Dodger Stadium on Tuesday night, were treated to what was among one of the most incredible Dodgers games they will ever watch, listen to, or see in person, as their beloved team pounded the NL East last place Miami Marlins 15-2. Among the many […]

Terrific Tommy Tanks!
April 29th, 2025 at 8:00 am by Ron Cervenka If you are not onboard the Tommy Edman band wagon by now, there’s a pretty good chance that you never will be. For the sixth time in his (thus far) seven-year MLB career, the extremely popular Pontiac, MI native and second-year Dodger delivered a game-winning hit, this one a perfectly placed single down the right field […]

‘Andy Pages – Out of his mind!’
April 28th, 2025 at 8:00 am by Ron Cervenka It was only a matter of time for Dodgers outfielder Andy Pages, and that time came on Saturday afternoon in the Dodgers 9-2 rout of the now 11-18 NL Central last place Pittsburgh Pirates in front of a Dodger Stadium crowd of 49,512. The extremely popular 24-year-old La Habana, Cuba native went 4-for-5 with a […]

What’s Up at OKC?
April 27th, 2025 at 10:30 am by Jesse Pearce Some bits and pieces from the Dodgers Triple-A team at Oklahoma City (Comets): James Outman has a nine game hitting streak. Over that period he has hit .417 and slashed .270/.337/.539/.876 during the month of April. The 28-year-old Outman may never play another game for the Dodgers, but he could become a valuable trade piece […]

Teo + Kiké = 5
April 27th, 2025 at 8:00 am by Ron Cervenka Although the final score of Saturday’s game between the (now) NL West second place Los Angeles Dodgers and the (still) NL Central last place Pittsburgh Pirates reads 8-4 Dodgers in the scorebooks, it very well could – and perhaps should – read 5-4 Hernándezs, as in Teoscar and Kiké. The not-related Hernándezs slugged solo and […]

Will the Dodgers Sell?
April 26th, 2025 at 9:00 am by Jesse Pearce Fourteen weeks before the 2025 MLB trade deadline is much too early to project trades the Dodgers may pursue to bolster their roster as buyers. But, will they also be sellers? The current roster includes 12 players who can become free agents after the 2025 World Series: pitchers Luis Garcia, Clayton Kershaw, Michael Kopech, Dustin […]
