Let’s have some fun here. It’s May 1, 2012. You are Stan Kaston and you have just taken over as the new decision-maker for the Los Angeles Dodgers. You have 100% absolute control over all personnel decisions both on and off the field and what you say goes – period. What would your first FIVE […]
(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 […]

Down on the Farm – Quakes Snap Two-Game Skid with Shutout of Storm
April 29th, 2012 at 6:45 pm 
by Ron Cervenka Although the Rancho Cucamonga Quakes are off to a rough 10-15 start thus far in the 2012 season (4.5 GB), they have had their moments and Sunday was one of those moments as Quakes right hander Andres Santiago tossed 6.2 scoreless innings to lead the Quakes to a 6-0 shutout of the Lake Elsinore Storm […]

(Read More)It Just Doesn’t Get Any Better than This
April 29th, 2012 at 12:22 am by Ron Cervenka It was loud… REAL loud; as loud as I’ve heard Dodger Stadium since Manny’s Granny in 2009; as loud as the incredible come-from-behind victory in game-2 of the 2009 NLDS against the St. Louis Cardinals on the famous Matt Holliday nutcracker shot. But this time it was different. The huge Dodger Stadium crowd wasn’t just yelling. […]
(Read More)Down on the Farm – Scott Wingo
April 28th, 2012 at 11:51 am by Ron Cervenka It has been well documented that the Dodgers farm system was once considered among the very best in all of baseball even as recently as 2003 and 2004 when the Dodgers were grooming current starters Matt Kemp, James Loney, Chad Billingsley and a slew of other prospects who the Dodgers ended up (uggh) trading away. […]

April 28th, 2012 at 10:22 am by Ron Cervenka Former Dodger and five-time World Champion Bill “Moose” Skowron died on Friday of congestive heart failure at Northwest Community Hospital in Arlington Heights, Ill. He was 81 years old. Skowron played for the Yankees from 1954-1962 and helped them win four World Series titles. In three of them, he hit home runs in the seventh […]
(Read More)Eovaldi Update
April 27th, 2012 at 2:44 pm by Ron Cervenka The Dodgers have just announced that Michael Antonini has been sent back down to Albuquerque to make room for Eovaldi; however, I don’t believe that this the end of this story.
(Read More)Eovaldi Mystery – Part Two
April 27th, 2012 at 7:35 am by Ron Cervenka For the second time in as many weeks, Dodger Minor League pitcher Nathan Eovaldi was pulled from his start for the Double-A Chattanooga Lookouts after only one inning of work. This time, however, it has been confirmed by the Chattanooga Times Free Press that Eovaldi is, in fact, headed to Los Angeles. Although is isn’t […]

April 26th, 2012 at 9:31 am by Ron Cervenka Even though it rained relatively hard for about 10 minutes during the 6th inning of Wednesday night’s Braves/Dodgers game at the Ravine, the forecast of a possible rainout never materialized. Unfortunately, the forecast of the Dodgers finally being tested by teams better than the Padres, Pirates and Astros did materialize. For the second time in as many […]
