First things first, I am going to be real and state that the odds of Shohei Ohtani pitching at some point this season for the Dodgers are pretty much a guarantee. Another bit of not-so-shocking news, however, is that his pitching debut has been pushed back yet again. I know

It has been a while since I wrote an article for LADR, and I apologize for that. As they say, life happens, and life has been happening here lately. How about the ultra-competitive NL West so far this young season? Every team not named the Rockies has been off to

I’m operating on little to no sleep, but Dodgers Baseball is back so I don’t care. The Dodgers opened the 2025 season at the Tokyo dome in Japan with a two-game series against the Chicago Cubs. Last season the Dodgers made history by winning the World Series and conquering the

When the Dodgers were down 5-0 I had resigned myself to accepting that the Dodgers were going to lose. That the series was going back to Dodger Stadium for game 6 and that we would all be pissed off on Halloween. Thankfully the Dodgers had other plans and decided they

When you have a chance to close out a series you do it. Unfortunately the Dodgers could not do that in game four of the World Series on Tuesday night at Yankee Stadium. They allowed the Yankees life in a depressing 11—4 drubbing. The game was actually close and winnable

Pure elation. That’s what I read someone describe Freddie Freeman’s historic walk-off grand slam home run in the bottom of the tenth inning of the Dodger’s 6-3 win in game 1 of the 2024 World Series. There had never been a walk-off grand slam in World Series history, but this

After the Dodgers lost game 5 of the National League championship series 12-6 to the Mets at Citi Field, there was some doubt in everyone’s minds as the boys in blue returned home to Dodger Stadium to play game 6. Up 3-2 in the series, the Dodgers had no choice

The Dodgers are on a mission this October. I don’t think any team can stop them. The club rebounded nicely after their 7-3 loss in game 2. The Dodgers flew into New York knowing they need to win at least two out of three to send the series back to
