You know the old saying: “Any team can beat any other team on any given day.” That team was the National League Central last place Pittsburgh Pirates, and that given day was Friday, April 25, in front of a sold out Dodger Stadium crowd of 53,655. To make matters worse, the (now) 11-16 Pirates shut […]

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 […]

Is It Really ‘Still Early?’
April 25th, 2025 at 9:00 am 
by Ron Cervenka It happens every season right about now – you start hearing “It’s still early.” But the ironic part about “It’s still early” is that you rarely hear it from or about teams that are playing well to start the new season but often hear it from or about teams that are not – say, like […]

That’s All I Can Stands…
April 25th, 2025 at 8:00 am by Jesse Pearce * * * As a team, the 2025 Dodgers are playing shoddy baseball. Losses are going to happen. Even great teams lose 60 games during a season. But watching some players continue to perform at bush league level is beyond frustrating. Old school Dodgers fans remember when their team was known for being fundamentally […]

What Would Tommy Say?
April 24th, 2025 at 8:00 am by Ron Cervenka For those who still consider Dave Roberts among the best managers in the Dodgers storied 156-year history, ask yourself this one simple question: What would Hall of Fame former Dodgers manager Tommy Lasorda have said following his team’s (thankfully) just concluded 2-5 road trip that took his team through Texas (Rangers) and Chicago (Cubs)? What […]

Dodgers Let Another One Get Away
April 23rd, 2025 at 8:00 am by Ron Cervenka It has become the rule rather than the exception for the Dodgers this season: a Dodgers starter struggles after being given an early lead. In this case, it was a top-of-the-first-inning 3-0 lead for 27-year-old Dodgers right-hander Dustin May, only to have the popular Justin, TX native and Dodgers third round draft pick in 2016 out […]

Just Say No!
April 20th, 2025 at 9:30 am by Jesse Pearce Rumors continue to circulate that the Dodgers are exploring the trade market for a center fielder. Those rumors and suppositions are rooted in the performance of Andy Pages, the team’s de facto center fielder, as he struggles offensively and defensively. While Pages occasionally comes through with a big hit or defensive play, his overall body […]

It ‘Could’ Happen Today
April 20th, 2025 at 8:30 am by Ron Cervenka 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 […]

Fast and Furious
April 19th, 2025 at 8:00 am 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 […]
