The Dodgers defeated the New York Mets 2-0 on Thursday night at Chavez Ravine. It was a tight pitching duel between Tijuan Walker and Dodger’s right hander Tony Gonsolin. The win was memorable since it snapped the club’s three game losing streak (after being swept by the Pirates) but perhaps

Just a week ago we thought we knew who the 2022 Dodgers were. We had a pretty good idea. They had just announced the Freddie Freeman signing, we knew Clayton Kershaw was coming back and that god awful bench from last year was not. We said goodbye to longtime closer

I’ve had a few weeks to digest since the Dodgers were eliminated from the NLCS by the eventual World Series champion Atlanta Braves. The Dodgers certainly had some memorable moments in 2021, but I have come to the conclusion (after many nights of reflection) that the Dodger’s 2021 season, was

The Dodgers Won their 100th game of the season on Sunday afternoon with a 3-0 victory over the Dbacks at Chase Field in Arizona. Despite being 44 games above .500 and having the second best record in baseball the Dodgers are not going to win the NL West this year.

Running out of players has been a recurring theme for the Dodgers in 2021. They ran out of starting pitchers about a month into the season. They’ve run out of relievers, they’ve run out of infielders, and they have also run out of pinch-hitters at one point or another throughout

We can't forget four years ago the Houston Astros, a.k.a the Houston Cheaters devised an organizational scheme to steal signs, relay them to the batters at the plate using camera feeds and banging on trash cans. Major League Baseball decided to do nothing, and the cheaters received a slap on

Depth was always the supposed strength of the Dodgers and the Andrew Friedman era. The club has had plenty of useful players on hand in the minor leagues that they could call up in case of injuries. This year is a whole different story. One of the big reasons the

There is a reason the Dodgers are stuck in second place, chasing the San Francisco Giants in the National League West for nearly the entire 2021 season. The Dodgers entered the all-star break with the second-best record in the National League (56-35) but two games behind the stupid Giants in

The Dodgers are having a good season as they attempt to defend their World Series Championship. Repeating is one of the hardest things to do in sports. The Dodgers have had some setbacks however. Injuries, hitting slumps and poor minor league depth has set the Dodgers back in 2021. The

The Dodgers are right back to losing. After dropping 15 out of 20 during one of the most dreadful stretches in recent memory, the Dodgers rebounded to win 12 of their next 13 games, which included a nice little eight-game winning streak. But after splitting a two-game series in Houston

The Dodgers are mired in a weeklong hitting slump and it’s threatening to crater their early season success. The Dodgers are now incapable of scoring more than two runs in a game. They have done so only once since last Friday night’s extra-inning win in San Diego. Over the last

The 2021 Dodgers open the regular season and their title defense on Thursday afternoon with a set of games in Coors Field against the Colorado Rockies. Clayton Kershaw will take the mound against German Marquez for the Rockies. Nevermind Coors Field being a total nightmare of a ballpark, the Dodgers

I know I've poked fun at Enrique Hernandez over the years. It really started after his horrible .190 season in 2016. Him blocking the LADR twitter account also added some fuel to the fire. To be honest I'm going to miss him and the Dodgers will miss his solid glove

Every single roster spot is important during the regular season but even more so during the postseason. When a club such as the Dodgers sets their postseason roster, every single contingency must be considered. This year it’s even more important with only a small player pool to choose from. So

The Dodgers open their three-game wild card playoff series against the Milwaukee Brewers on Wednesday night at Dodger Stadium.
