In other almost-end-of-Spring-Training news, the Dodgers posted this on social media on Wednesday: Welcome Home boys! Play Ball! * * * * * *

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 […]

by Ron Cervenka As a surprise to no one, the Dodger announced on Tuesday that 37-year-old (today) future first-ballot Hall of Fame left-hander Clayton Kershaw has been placed on the Dodgers 60-Day injured list, a move that allowed Dodgers President of Baseball Operations Andrew Friedman to add 26-year-old right-hander Matt Sauer to the Dodgers active roster prior to […]

One Down – 161 to Go
March 18th, 2025 at 4:45 pm by Ron Cervenka Gotta admit it’s pretty cool that the Dodgers being the only team in MLB history to have played games in six different countries (United States, Canada, Australia, Mexico, South Korea and now Japan) is pretty cool. That said, I also gotta admit that getting up at 3 AM to watch their 4-1 win over the […]

Betts Out For Season Opener
March 17th, 2025 at 9:15 am by Ron Cervenka Although it has been known – or at least speculated – for some time now, the Dodgers made official on Monday morning that 32-year-old superstar infielder/outfielder Mookie Betts will not play in the Dodgers – and MLB’s – 2025 season-opening series against the Chicago Cubs at the Tokyo Dome in Japan very early (PDT) on […]

Good News / Bad News / Worst News / Great News
March 16th, 2025 at 8:00 am by Ron Cervenka The good news is that the Dodgers weren’t no-hit in their 3-0 loss to the Hanshin Tigers at the Tokyo Dome in Japan on Saturday. The bad news is they went 3-for-28 (.107) at the plate – all singles. They also went 7-for-32 (.219) in their 5-1 win over the Yomiuri Giants on Saturday, during […]

Better Than Best
March 10th, 2025 at 9:00 am by Ron Cervenka There’s good, there’s better, there’s the best … and then there’s Freddie Freeman, who is as close to better than best as there is in the game today. Go ahead, prove me wrong. I’ll wait. Although the guaranteed future first-ballot Hall of Famer owns a career slash line of .300 / .387 / .512 / […]

Wrobleski (Probably) an Opening Day Lock
March 8th, 2025 at 8:30 am by Ron Cervenka Earlier this week we posted that 27-year-old right-hander Landon Knack quite possibly pitched himself out of the Dodgers 2025 Opening Day starting rotation and even off of the Dodgers 2025 Opening Day active roster. The same cannot be said of 24-year-old left-hander Justin Wrobleski, who quite possibly pitched himself into/onto both. During Friday evening’s 6-4 […]

All Better
March 7th, 2025 at 8:00 am by Ron Cervenka When 35-year-old Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman went down with a sprained right ankle on September 26 of last year, a good many Dodgers fans feared the worst for the eight-time All-Star and future first-ballot Hall of Famer. Although the Villa Park, CA native and second-round draft pick in 2007 by the Atlanta Braves out of El […]

March 6th, 2025 at 8:00 am by Ron Cervenka With Opening Day 2025 now only 13 days away for the Dodgers, they have some difficult decisions to make in finalizing their 40-man and 26-man rosters. But they also have some easy decisions to make. In their 5-3 win over the Angels at Tempe Diablo Stadium on Wednesday, a couple of those difficult decisions may […]
