Be sure to tell me how much of an idiot I am in the comments! I wanted to get one of these off because this figures to be a busy offseason. Andrew Friedman and company will have a lot of work to do in order to make this roster compete in 2017

The Dodgers lost in the 2016 National Championship Series 3-2 to end one of the most magical and accomplished seasons since the world series team in 1988. The season was a roller coaster ride, they were a tough out in the playoffs, and succumbed to a better team with a better

Julio Urias became the youngest pitcher to start a playoff baseball game. And with that you can always be sure that a day gives you some relevant information. A cool little factoid that will be bar trivia one day. Nobody's gonna remember his actual outing though, right? That's how this works? Who

Pardon the late recap, I didn't start writing this recap until the 9th inning. You can surely excuse the vomiting I was busy with, that was a whale of a game. Going into this game, it was somewhat of a must win for the Dodgers. Going down 0-2 back to a

With the Dodgers and Nationals tied 1-1 they played a potentially decisive game three at Dodger stadium. The home team sent out a tired/maybe rusty Kenta Maeda and the Nationals sent out lefty Gio Gonzalez. That's all you really need to know about this game, but I'll give you guys a

Vin Scully only has one more game to call in his professional career, and he was the only reason to keep watching this game. He called a better game than the Dodgers played, as the team blew a chance to knock the Giants out of playoff position, losing 3-0 to,

I don't think there are words to describe what happened early this morning for baseball. Being a person of Cuban descent, the impact that Jose Fernandez had as a baseball player on me cannot be described. I have never experienced a communal experience through my roots outside of baseball, and Jose Fernandez/Yasiel

The Dodgers drubbed the Rockies Saturday night, lowering their magic number to 1, almost ensuring that their plight to 90 wins will be successful, and with that comes a 4th straight division title. What. A. Night. Scully's penultimate game at Dodger stadium was a success for the team as they beat an

Vin Scully's retirement is near and it is finally sinking in that the legendary announcer won't be calling games after next Sunday's sure-to-be-emotional farewell in San Francisco. It was an emotional pregame ceremony which included Los Angeles mayor Eric Garcetti giving Scully a key to the city, and Mark Walter Jaime

First of all, a lot has happened since I checked in, things naturally get overwhelming, life moves in mysterious ways but I am ready for writing to be fun again, and thanks to this space I am fully ready for that to be the case again. Since we're on the topic of 'fun

Scott Kazmir's Dodger career has gotten off to a putrid start, there's no getting around that. We've seen him pitch 7 starts, and after a near perfect start, this has happened: scott kazmir's FIP this season 5.56 scott kazmir's FIP in 2010 the season preceding his exit from baseball: 5.56 — a-dri-an

Okay so that road trip had some ups, some downs, and almost nothing in the middle. The wins were either dominant and exciting (shutout sweep of San Diego/coming back for Kershaw) or brutally frustrating (blowing leads in all of the losses at the phonebooth). All in all, a 4-3 road

(via) I started this post off without a title because I didn't know what to call it, a defense of Dave Roberts seems too reactionary, a criticism of Dave Roberts has been... well documented. It's hard to separate the fact that it's still early April with the fact that losing games

Depth is primed to be an even bigger story this season than last season, basically the entire crop of starting positions players are coming in with either health questions or production questions. This is why mid-December the Dodgers had so many questions about Enrique Hernandez, we understand that he's versatile

I guess we're just gonna have to get used to this whole 'injured Dodger starting pitcher thing' aren't we? The Dodgers have an issue, starting pitching is the concern, it's been a concern since what feels like 1988. and despite the handful of #3 starters that the Dodgers brought to camp,

Prospect Ranking season has almost run it's course and that means that rankings are generally set (with the exception of Dodgers Digest and True Blue LA) for the upcoming season so most Dodger fans know who's worth paying attention to this upcoming minor league season.
