Don’t look now but the Dodgers are red hot. They’ve won 13 of their last 17 games including Saturday night’s 4-0 win over Colorado to take a 2-1 series lead and move within a half game of the Rockies for first place in the National league West. Speaking of red

The Dodger bats have certainly woken up in recent days. It’s not surprising as the increased offense has coincided with the call-up of super rookie Cody Bellinger. Hyun-jin Ryu is most definitely cooked at this point, but the Dodgers were still able to rally in the top of the ninth

The vastly improved and newly optimistic Dodgers went to dangerous Colorado for a four-game series against the NL West, first place Rockies. They did so after a night game, which meant they landed at four in the morning. Maybe they should have planned to be there earlier, because they slept-walked

In the first game of the post-Andrew Toles era, the Dodgers brought us Chase Utley and Scott Van Slyke as starters and Kenta Maeda to the mound. Twenty four hours ago, the Dodgers looked like a blue behemoth running over the Pirates. Now it was looking like even money for

Julio Urias had a chance to become one of the youngest pitchers in baseball history to toss a no-hitter and by golly he was doing that entering the seventh inning during the second game of the Dodger’s three game series against the Pirates. Instead the game ended in the bottom

Monday night’s Pirates/Dodgers match-up was kismit in the making. Before the game I wrote this article because we weren’t sure if scheduled starter Brandon McCarthy was going to be able to start after we discovered that he suffered a dislocated non-pitching shoulder injury over training in the weight room. McCarthy was originally

You know I don’t want to beat a dead horse, especially when things seem to be ticking upwards for the Dodgers. Sunday’s series finale between the Dodgers and Padres at Petco Park was rained out. That’s fine since the Dodgers already won the series by winning the first two games,

The Dodgers had their best pitcher on the mound in Clayton Kershaw facing the Dodgers achilles heel in a left hander named Clayton Richard. Petco park is looking more like a home game for the boys in blue these days. The game started off slow with Kershaw on the mound

Fresh off the Cody Bellinger coming out party last night in which he blasted two homers. The Dodgers make a change in their rotation today and will go with Clayton Kershaw (4-2, 2.61 ERA) to face off against left hander Clayton Richard (2-3, 4.29 ERA). Brandon McCarthy was supposed to

The Dodgers (and Adrian Gonzalez) read the writing on the clubhouse walls - and they must have read the writing here on LADR as well. Gonzalez signed himself onto the disabled list this morning, completing the one for one roster trade-off as Joc Pederson came back to the club after

Last night was such a fun night, but it was back to reality for the Los Angeles Mediocrities, I mean Dodgers. After scoring 13 runs on 11 hits the night before, the Dodgers score one run on six hits and once again roll over to the Giants like a folding beach chair.

It was a west coast style run scoring party at Dodger Stadium on Tuesday night which led to the Dodger’s 13-5 pummeling of the Giants to even their three game series at one game each. The Dodgers were originally down 4-0 after the second inning after Alex Wood exploded. In

Whenever Clayton Kershaw starts at Dodger Stadium against the Giants it could be considered one of the most secure bets in baseball. Keshaw was 10-0 with a 0.65 ERA in his last ten starts at Chavez Ravine. Coming into tonight’s series opener against the Giants he was 19-8 with a

Stop the presses! The Dodgers have won their third game in a row and they knocked my socks off doing it. The Phillies were hot before they hit L.A., and the Dodgers' starting rotation has pitched like the real deal for the past week, so things were getting very interesting in

The Dodgers returned home after another lackluster road trip (3-4) to begin a six game home stand. They kicked it off with a weekend set against the Phillies. The Dodgers as you all know have had one month of suck thus far, entering with a losing record and only winning

It's been a tough series. It personifies the Dodgers' season and abilities so far. Perhaps I should say the lack of abilities that many of us have been resistant to accept. This team rarely fires on all cylinders at the same time, and it's searching for a different savior every
