Last November the Dodgers traded veteran infielder Howie Kendrick to the Phillies for Darin Ruf and former farmhand Darnell Sweeney. The move was met with much skepticism as Kendrick was an integral part of the last two postseason runs for the Dodgers. Not only that, but the Dodgers had traded

It's time for me to recap five of my favorite moments from the first half of the season. Let's see if any match up with yours. Here we go, in no particular order. April 25 Dodgers vs Giants The day Cody Bellinger got called up. At this early point in the season the

The good news is four Los Angeles Dodgers were named to the 2017 All-Star squad. The bad news is none of them will be starters. The worse news is Kenley Jansen decided Dodger fans were to blame for that. Jansen, Clayton Kershaw, Cody Bellinger, and Corey Seager were named all-stars, but Bellinger

Maybe you saw the tweet last night from Angels post game radio host, Trent Rush. It was a doozy. Mr. Rush, like many of us, watched as the traveling Dodgers fan group, Pantone 294, unfurled their trademark giant "LA" flag in Anaheim's outfield bleachers during last night's contest between the Dodgers

So the Dodgers are doing pretty well I might add. They had won ten consecutive games and now have the best record in the National League. If it weren’t for those dang moneyball Astros, they would have the best record in MLB. The offense is in high-octane mode scoring nearly

I completely understand that the Dodgers can’t win every game. At some point the Dodgers were going to lose again. Ten wins in a row was really nice, but the winning streak was bound to come to an end at some point. Tommy Lasorda once said that every team no

There are almost as many ways to watch our favorite team as there are fans. Some of us catch the game at the local sportsbar, some on the widescreen at home with family and friends. Some of us watch on our phones while at work, while others are forced to

Not every prospect makes it. Most never do. Most prospects don’t play above double-A ball. Some just get hurt and fade out of the spotlight. Not every prospect is going to be a super star like Corey Seager, or Cody Bellinger. Those guys are rare talents. So when the Dodgers

This week's heat wave isn't the only thing raising temperatures around L.A. Yasiel Puig's bat (and his outfield glove) are heating up Chavez Ravine as well - and the New York Mets don't like it one bit. The rhubarb with the Mets began in the second of this four-game series when

Pennant fever has swept across southern California and the only known cure is more Dodger Baseball. The Dodgers are on fire and playing the best stretch of baseball we’ve seen in some time. As a matter of fact over the last 50 games the Dodgers are 36-14 which is the

Pardon me while I try to type this and dodge the firebombs and peanut shells coming at me from all directions. I know I brought it upon myself. To suggest anyone other than the sacred Kershaw should start a monumentally important Dodger game is the highest offense possible. It's blue

Opposing fans in stadiums around the country love to "Boo" Yasiel Puig when he comes up to bat. There are other Dodgers who do more to win games on the road, more often than Puig, but for some reason, fans in those other cities just love to aim vocal missiles

Maybe you noticed Enrique Hernandez, the Banana Kid, making a fashion statement with the home whites at Dodger Stadium. Kike rocked the tight pants last night, and he ripped a solo home run against the Reds in last night's game. Will the home run pants be back tonight? Or were they

Last year the Dodgers were the worst team in baseball against left handed pitching. So management decided to sit almost every one of their regulars when a southpaw was on the mound. The lineups they put out on those days consisted of most of their bench players and backups. Utility

We’re getting later into the season and the trade deadline fury will be upon us sooner than we think. The pitching market is already starting to develop and as you would have thought the Dodgers will likely be major players in such potential dealing. Don’t get me wrong here, the

2017 has been a tale of two seasons so far for the LA Dodgers. Overall, the return in a long stretch of divisional games is poor. Having won the National League Western Division for the past four years, expectations were high. Results suggest that complacency was as well. 33 games so
