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 […]

Nick Punto – The Other Guy
August 27th, 2012 at 8:18 am by Ron Cervenka Adrian Gonzalez got all of the hype, hoopla and fanfare in Saturday’s blockbuster trade with the Boston Red Sox, and rightfully so. He was, after all, the intended target of the trade all along. But what about the other three guys that the Dodgers acquired in what is arguably the biggest trade in Dodgers history? In addition […]

August 25th, 2012 at 1:11 pm by Ron Cervenka With the recent suspensions of Melky Cabrera and Bartolo Colon for testing positive for the use of banned substances, the baseball media and blog sites have been running at a fever pitch.

Billingsley’s MRI Reveals Elbow Inflammation
August 25th, 2012 at 1:56 am by Ron Cervenka The Dodgers breathed a collective sigh of relief late Friday night when they received word that Chad Billingsley’s MRI revealed only right elbow inflammation and nothing more serious than that. “It’s one thing about pitching; every time you step out on the mound you never know what could happen,” said Billingsley after Friday night’s 11-4 win over the Miami Marlins […]

The Calm Before the Storm
August 24th, 2012 at 8:27 am by Ron Cervenka Although the Dodgers have been inconsistent in just about everything this season, the one area in which they have been consistent is losing games (and series) to teams that they should have absolutely dominated. Well the Dodgers get another opportunity to right their ship in this department beginning tonight at the Ravine as they host the […]

Playing without two of their best hitters, the Quakes fell victim to their Cal League-leading ninth shutout of the season in a 10-0 pounding by the Lancaster JetHawks (Astros) on Thursday night at the Hangar. After escaping a scoreless first inning, […]

A Silver Lining to an Otherwise Dismal Series
August 23rd, 2012 at 12:09 am by Ron Cervenka This week’s series sweep of the Dodgers (on their home field, no less) by the hated Giants could very well be the series that knocks them out of playoff contention. Although the Dodgers arrived at friendly Dodger Stadium after an extremely successful 7-3 road trip, their bats did not. But even as devastating as this 3-game series […]
