This must be a nervous time for the coaching staffs on major league baseball teams. The regular season has ended with only five teams in each league now having a shot at winning it all. Already heads are starting to roll. Chris Chambliss has been fired as the Mariners hitting coach as has Kevin Seitzer, […]

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 […]

A Look at the Prediction Results and Final Tally
October 5th, 2012 at 10:21 pm 
by Evan Bladh At the All Star Break I posted an article that addressed predictions on how the Dodgers would finish the season. It was July 12th and the Dodgers were in first place, 47-40, one half game ahead of the Giants. Let’s take a look at how we did with the predictions: 1) Matt Kemp currently has […]

2013 Season Already Under Way for Dodgers Brass (part-1)
October 5th, 2012 at 6:48 am by Ron Cervenka (Part one of a three-part series) Dodgers manager Don Mattingly, general manager Ned Colletti and president and CEO Stan Kasten met with reporters on Thursday afternoon in what could be described as a kickoff press conference for the 2013 season. And while it may seem a bit unusual that it took place less than 24 […]

2012 – An Interesting Season
October 4th, 2012 at 7:56 pm by Ron Cervenka It’s a pretty safe bet that nearly every Dodger blogger woke up on Thursday morning with a mindset to write some type of “Year in Review” article (or “the Dodgers obituary” as J.P Hoornstra jokingly called it); I mean, what else are they going to write about. In fact, aside from bloggers covering the 10 teams still […]

2012 Season Finale
October 3rd, 2012 at 10:12 pm by Ron Cervenka As anticipated, the final game of the season at Dodger Stadium was a bittersweet. There was a definite melancholy feel about the place, this in spite of the Dodgers pounding the Giants (I love saying that) by a score of 5-1. High-5’s and hugs were abundant and it is very clear that this is one big […]

Smartest Dodger Makes Biggest Mistake of the Season
October 3rd, 2012 at 1:40 am by Ron Cervenka Nobody, and I mean absolutely nobody needs to tell Dodgers veteran second baseman Mark Ellis that he made the biggest mistake of the season and quite possibly of his entire career, because nobody, and I mean absolutely nobody knows it more than he does. Mark Ellis’ split-second decision to try to stretch a double into a triple is going to be the source […]

I Just Don’t Get It
October 2nd, 2012 at 2:03 pm by Ron Cervenka Although I am a lifelong Dodger fan and a longtime Dodgers season ticket holder, I am an absolute rookie at this blogging stuff. As such, I’m sure that you can imagine how excited I was to receive approval to participate in the Dodgers blog spot within the Vin Scully Press Box this past season. I […]

Herrera Walk-off Keeps Dodgers Playoff Hopes Alive for Another Day
October 2nd, 2012 at 1:44 am by Ron Cervenka The Dodgers playoff hopes remain alive, albeit by a thread, thanks to a bottom of the 9th one-out, bases loaded single by Dodgers left fielder Elian Herrera off the glove of Giants second baseman Marcos Scutaro, as the Dodgers beat the Giants 3-2 before a small but lively crowd of 33,624 at Dodger Stadium on […]

34 and 62
September 30th, 2012 at 10:25 pm by Ron Cervenka Did you know that the Dodgers have scored 34 runs and collected 62 hits in the past five games? I mean, I knew that the Dodgers had done quite a bit of both this past week, but it wasn’t until Dodgers broadcasters Rick Monday and Charlie Steiner interviewed third base coach Tim Wallach on their post-game show […]
