You know how $1 dollar Dodger Dogs sounds like a good idea at first? You feel happy and good and munch on a whole buncha dogs, because they're only a buck, right? Then, around the 6th inning, you start to lose that hot dog glow, and everything just kinda sits

It's clear to anyone paying attention that last year's NL West champs, the Los Angeles Dodgers, are this years NL West chumps. They are swirling in a whirlpool of blown leads, empty bats, lousy pitching arms, and picking up speed. What's not so clear is - who's to blame for this

One of the big keys to the Dodgers 2017 World Series run was a dominant bullpen. The Dodgers relied heavily on their relievers and ran them to a National League championship last season. Their bullpen was one of the best in the majors and it was super fun to watch.

Oh .500 how you tease us Dodger fans. Fresh off of Walker Buehler mania on Monday night, the Dodgers laid a dud on Tuesday night, scoring just two runs against guys named Dillon Peters, Nick Whittgren and Drew Steckenrider. The Dodger bullpen (Tony Cingrani, Pedro Baez) wasted a solid Kenta

The Dodgers are sitting home resting and awaiting to see who they’ll play in the NLCS which begins on Saturday at 5:08 PM PST at Dodger Stadium. They’ll play either the Cubs or Nationals who wrap up their series tonight with a decisive game 5 in Washington. Side question: Who

Chances are, Pedro Baez sealed his 2017 fate in his abysmal outing last night against the Philadelphia Phillies. Baez's 2/3 of an inning was a microcosm of his season: There was frustration and angst mixed with flashes of hope. Dave Roberts, his manager, faithfully stuck with him through all of

At this point I’m over it. The Dodgers are going to clinch the division at some point over the next 11 or games but that doesn’t mean they’re World Series ready and it doesn’t even mean they are postseason ready. Because right now they can’t beat the worst teams in

It's my job to observe and comment. I'm tasked with analyzing and opining. I'm a guy who loves to talk and write about baseball, but this team has left me speechless. How does one describe the worst slide in the history of a franchise? When it immediately follows the most
