I would love to take responsibility for the Dodger’s latest loss on Monday night, after I screwed up the pregame the other day by arrogantly proclaiming a Dodger sweep. I had mistakenly forgotten that this series was a four-game wrap around and not a three-game set. Alas I can’t take all the

So the B-team did alright in Saturday night’s rousing 8-4 win over the snakes. Kike Hernandez had the game of his life, doubling, scoring a run and making two fine defensive plays. The Dodgers scored five of their eight runs off a lefty and the bullpen was fantastic bailing out yet another

The Dodgers defeated the Snakes 8-4 on Jackie Robinson night scoring 5 runs off a lefty and stopping the usual story of the club being unable to hit lefties. Well, at least for tonight. The new Jackie Robinson statue was unveiled before the game in the reserved level during an

The Dodgers are unveiling the new Jackie Robinson statue in the reserved level of Dodger Stadium tonight as the boys in blue take on the snakes in game two. Kershaw and the Dodgers put on a Kershaw-esque smack down on the snakes as they defeated the dbacks and turncoat Zack

The Dodgers return home after an unsuccessful road trip that saw them lose four out of six to the Rockies and Cubs. They’ll have right hander Pedro Baez back as he’s been reinstated from the disabled list. He’s been nursing a wrist injury and the Dodgers have optioned Josh Fields

The lineup shuffling continues for the Dodgers in their series finale against the Cubs. The Dodgers were able to spoil the Cub’s World Series ring party on Wednesday thanks to some awesome pitching. Hopefully the Dodgers can escape with a series win, but they have to beat old teammate Brett Anderson to

Judging the Dodger’s offense through the first nine games of the season is difficult to do. The hitting has been up and down. They’ve had some games where they’ve scored 10 or more runs and blown out the other club. Then there have been other games where they couldn’t score

The Dodgers squeaked out a win over the Cubs on Wednesday night to even their three game series at one game each. The Dodgers can’t hit, but they certainly can pitch. Brandon McCarthy was fantastic tossing 6 shutout frames, and Ross Stripling was lights out as he pitched two scoreless

The Dodgers placed outfielder Franklin Gutierrez on the 10-day disabled list with a strained left hamstring. The DL stint is retroactive to April 11. Right handed hitting Trayce Thompson has been recalled and he’ll join the Dodgers in Chicago. Gutierrez injured his hamstring while getting thrown out attempting to steal

The Dodgers were able to escape Coors Field with one win luckily. The boys in blue defeated Colorado 10-6 in the series finale on Sunday afternoon and then got the hell out of dodge. Now they’ll begin a three game series against the Cubs at Wrigley Field in a NLCS rematch. Wrigley

So the all-righty loser lineup laid another egg for the Dodgers on Friday afternoon. The Dodger’s 2-1 loss to Colorado rookie Kyle Freeland was a truly pathetic performance. Hyun-jin Ryu and the bullpen did all they could to keep the boys in blue in the game, but there was no way that

The Dodgers certainly had a productive day on Thursday afternoon’s series finale against the Padres. The Dodgers defeated San Diego by a 10-2 score as Yasiel Puig homered twice and Brandon McCarthy turned in a quality start. Everybody contributed. Corey Seager went 2 for 3 with 2 runs batted in. Puig drove

Thursday afternoon’s 10-2 Dodger win was quite a game, and not just because Yasiel Puig blasted two monster home runs, or Brandon McCarthy tossed 6 innings of two-run ball. It wasn’t even because Corey Seager notched two more hits. Nope, the incredible event happened in the bottom of the sixth when

We’re all left with a sour taste in our mouths after Tuesday night’s 4-0 shutout loss to Clayton Richard and the Padres. It’s unbecoming for the exact same problems from 2016 to resurface in the second game of the season. The Dodgers were unable to get quality innings from their starting

The apologists should be out in full force on this one. Oh the excuses they will make. They’ll say that it’s early and to be patient. They’ll ask you to tip your cap to Clayton Richard (Clayton Richard!!!) because he pitched a great game. They’ll tell you that the Dodgers

You know if the Dodgers were somehow able to win the World Series on opening day, they would have seven additional championships by now. Monday afternoon’s win now gives them seven consecutive wins on opening day, and third consecutive opening day win over the Padres. It always helps when you
