Night two in Chicago went about as well as night one, as once again the Dodgers fell to the Cubs by a score of 7-6. Today was a bullpen day, and the opener for the Dodgers was Ben Casparius, who pitched 2.2 innings of scoreless ball to go along with

One look at the flags in center field at Wrigley Field would tell the players all they needed to know about today's game...wind is blowing out, and so will the baseball. Actual to fruition, this game was a straight-up old-school style slugfest, and at many times it seemed like the

With the upcoming series with the Chicago Cubs starting tomorrow, let's look at the trade that brought Zyhir Hope to the Dodgers and Jackson Ferris. The Dodgers sent Yency Almonte and Michael Busch to the Cubs in exchange for Hope and Ferris. This was a trade for the future with

In the battle of the last two teams to call themselves world champions, the Dodgers came out victorious and won the series after a hard-fought game on Sunday. A low-scoring affair and what some say was a questionable ending to the game, the Dodgers head to Chicago to try and

Baseball has a funny way of making a fan happy one moment and hurting the next. Today was one of those days as our Boys in Blue had a 3-2 lead heading into the ninth with lights-out pitcher Kirby Yates on the mound to finish it. The Rangers sent Josh

In Globe Life Field, the Dodgers knew the Rangers had assembled a team that was built to outslug opponents, and with Jacob DeGrom on the mound, the Rangers probably had some confidence coming into this game. Yoshinobu Yamamoto had other ideas and not only outpitched Degrom but kept the Rangers

First things first, I am going to be real and state that the odds of Shohei Ohtani pitching at some point this season for the Dodgers are pretty much a guarantee. Another bit of not-so-shocking news, however, is that his pitching debut has been pushed back yet again. I know

It has been a while since I wrote an article for LADR, and I apologize for that. As they say, life happens, and life has been happening here lately. How about the ultra-competitive NL West so far this young season? Every team not named the Rockies has been off to

I’m operating on little to no sleep, but Dodgers Baseball is back so I don’t care. The Dodgers opened the 2025 season at the Tokyo dome in Japan with a two-game series against the Chicago Cubs. Last season the Dodgers made history by winning the World Series and conquering the

The Dodgers are in Tokyo for a couple of exhibition games tomorrow before the regular season opens up against the Cubs in the Tokyo series. Shohei Ohtani, Yoshinobu Yamamoto, and Roki Sasaki have already received a hero's welcome in their native country as the Dodgers have turned Tokyo and beyond

http://gty.im/2201152106 The familiar sounds of spring have started, and I am not talking about the birds chirping but rather the sounds of the ball hitting the glove and the sweet crack of the bat blasting the ball all around the diamond. Winter is finally over, and Dodger baseball is back. The

This is the toughest article I’ve ever had to write, and I deliver it as best as I can. The tin man once said, “now I know I have a heart because it’s breaking”. My heart is broken as well, and I write this with a broken, sad and heavy

The Dodgers won the World Series on Wednesday night in New York at Yankee Stadium when they defeated the Bronx Bombers 7-6 in game 5 of the World Series. The Dodgers had to overcome a seemingly dominant Gerrit Cole and a 5-0 early deficit, when they took advantage of three

When the Dodgers were down 5-0 I had resigned myself to accepting that the Dodgers were going to lose. That the series was going back to Dodger Stadium for game 6 and that we would all be pissed off on Halloween. Thankfully the Dodgers had other plans and decided they

When you have a chance to close out a series you do it. Unfortunately the Dodgers could not do that in game four of the World Series on Tuesday night at Yankee Stadium. They allowed the Yankees life in a depressing 11—4 drubbing. The game was actually close and winnable

The Dodgers survived a ninth-inning rally from the Yankees and a Shohei Ohtani Injury scare on Saturday night to win game 2 of the World Series and take a commanding 2-0 lead. The Dodgers flew into New York as the series shifted to Yankee Stadium. Fat Joe did the pre-game
