Now the

The Dodgers' offense has been sluggish lately, and that's putting it nicely. They've put up very few runs, and then asked their pitchers to allow even fewer. That formula hasn't been working, as their starting pitchers have been everyone not named Kershaw. Today that changed. In an afternoon game that yours

26 strikeouts, two monster dongs and 12 innings was all the Dodgers needed to muscle past the Brewers 2-1 on Friday evening during the opening game of the weekend set at Miller Park.

Today’s series finale between the Dodgers and Cubs was supposed to be billed as a pitching match-up with Clayton Kershaw countering Jon Lester. Then baseball happened and both aces sucked and the game turned into a slugfest as the Dodgers used their bats instead of their arms mashing four home

This is clearly not the same Chicago club that won the World Series last year and finished with 103 wins during the 2016 regular season. I don’t know what’s wrong with the Cubs this season but lackluster starting pitching and weak hitting has led them to a mediocre 25-23 start.

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

Don't get me wrong, I'm usually a cheerleader for Dodgers manager Dave Roberts, but not tonight. In this first game of a three-game series against the St. Louis Cardinals, the skipper messed up big time. He made two ridiculous - and monumental - decisions that cost the Dodgers a nine-inning

The first two games between the Dodgers and the Giants were played under miserable conditions, and they both ended with equally miserable results for the boys in blue. But that was all in the past. The swirling, unmerciful winds were gone. The cold, unrelenting rain was gone. The sun was

There are three things you can count on in this life, death, taxes, and the Dodgers losing in San Francisco. The Dodgers rolled over again dropping the second game of the series to their hated rivals by a 2-1 score on Tuesday evening. They’ve now lost 5 out of 8

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

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

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
