The Dodgers returned home from a tough road trip after playing series in New York, Baltimore and Texas. They played well, winning 6 out of 9 and widened their lead in the National League West to 4 games over the Giants and Dbacks at the time. They seemed to be

As if we haven’t been subjected to enough lousy pitching this season, get ready for Noah Syndergaard the sequel. He’s coming back and the Dodgers are prepared to lose even more games while in a playoff race. Syndergaard who has been on the injured list with a blister since June

To say the Dodgers are struggling these days is an understatement. They’re 5-10 in June, have dropped to third place in the National League West Standings and just got destroyed at home by their arch rival Giants. Those same Giants are now ahead of them in the standings. The Bullpen

I’ve been advocating for a Dodger’s youth movement for a couple of years now. This season we are finally seeing those young players promoted to the big club. The Dodgers have called up a large group of rookies in 2023. I’m happy to see them play but they’ve been collectively

I’ve been toying with the idea of shutting this site down and officially retiring from Dodger writing for a while now. Nobody comes over here and I don’t have much time to write anymore these days. But games like tonight are the reason why I keep going. Infuriating losses like

Only a good Dodger losing streak can bring me out of my writing funk. It seems like the more things go wrong for the Dodgers, the more fuel I have to write. I’m half joking but as the Dodgers enter tonight’s rubber game against the White Sox they sit at

If you ever wondered what former Dodgers reliever and human rain delay Pedro Baez would do in today's new pitch clock regime, well wonder no more. That's because Rob Friedman of pitching Ninja has given us the answers. In this video you see on one side Dodgers Prospect Landon Knack,

I’m back! To the critics who think I can be silenced at my own space, guess again. I’ve had a pretty busy winter so far. The Dodgers have too, letting long term Dodgers walk and signing old and busted veterans to replace them. As usual it’s super difficult to figure

The winter meetings have concluded while the baseball offseason marches on as we continue towards the Christmas and New Years holidays. As customary in the Andrew Friedman era the Dodgers are standing still while all the other teams around them are making moves and improving their rosters. We watch as

And it doesn’t look like he ever will. On Monday the Dodgers held their annual end of year press conference at Dodger Stadium. This year’s end of season presser would be even more contentious than ever before after another embarrassing playoff ouster. This season’s playoff loss to the San Diego

The Dodgers Finished the 2022 regular season with their 111th win, a 6-1 victory over the Colorado Rockies in the regular season finale on Wednesday afternoon at Dodger Stadium. Freddie Freeman hit two home runs among four Dodger's dingers as the Dodgers (111-51) not only broke the franchise record in

The Dodgers defeated the New York Mets 2-0 on Thursday night at Chavez Ravine. It was a tight pitching duel between Tijuan Walker and Dodger’s right hander Tony Gonsolin. The win was memorable since it snapped the club’s three game losing streak (after being swept by the Pirates) but perhaps

Just a week ago we thought we knew who the 2022 Dodgers were. We had a pretty good idea. They had just announced the Freddie Freeman signing, we knew Clayton Kershaw was coming back and that god awful bench from last year was not. We said goodbye to longtime closer

I’ve had a few weeks to digest since the Dodgers were eliminated from the NLCS by the eventual World Series champion Atlanta Braves. The Dodgers certainly had some memorable moments in 2021, but I have come to the conclusion (after many nights of reflection) that the Dodger’s 2021 season, was

The Dodgers Won their 100th game of the season on Sunday afternoon with a 3-0 victory over the Dbacks at Chase Field in Arizona. Despite being 44 games above .500 and having the second best record in baseball the Dodgers are not going to win the NL West this year.
