Just as I expected and feared the Dodgers dropped the last two consecutive games to the Giants, dropping to five games behind and leaving town worse than when they came in. At this point I feel no need to try and be “positive” or blow smoke up anyone’s butt. This is just not

The Dodger’s front office may be incompetent, the coaching staff useless and the manager clueless, but the players are really 100% at fault for the club’s season long malaise. They keep making terrible baseball decisions during games when the Dodgers need them to make smarter choices. Case in point was

The rubber match between the Dodgers and the hated ones featured Julio Urias' fourth start (third on the road). His stuff was impressive at Dodger Stadium, but the kid has to get his pitch count down. The Giants threw a mostly left-handed lineup against him. Here's how that battle played

Kenley Jansen decided he wanted to get into the act of blowing games himself and ruining poor Oscar's BBQ in the process during the Dodger’s pitiful 5-4 loss to the Giants on Saturday. Kenley is one of the greatest Dodger closers of all time and had only blown those two games in San

The Dodgers won the first game of the weekend series against the Giants with a little help from ninth inning heroics from Justin Turner and Clayton Kershaw's thirteen strike outs. They didn't have the benefit of Kershaw again, so Scott Kazmir and his up and down pitching abilities would have

Kenley Jansen nearly gave us all a heart attack on Friday night, but the Dodgers hung on to defeat the Giants by a 3-2 score. The Clayton Kershaw versus Johnny Cueto duel ended in a draw. Surprisingly it was Justin Turner’s clutch solo home run in the top of the ninth off

This series is important. It's the big kahuna. The NL West is on the line and both teams were leading with their big boys on the mound. Clayton Kershaw (8-1) and Johnny Cueto (9-1) are the top two pitchers in the National League. The Dodgers are trying to prove to the

The Dodgers will open up an important three game series against the Giants in the lion’s den of At&t Park on Friday evening. The Dodgers still are unable to hit at all, scoring just 5 runs in the previous three game series against the Rockies. The Dodgers now rank 27th

The Dodgers are idle on Thursday and should be flying up to San Francisco to prepare for a three game series over the weekend. While the boys in blue are off licking their wounds after their pathetic series loss to the Rockies, the MLB draft is going on in the background. The Dodgers

Tonight brought the rubber match between the Dodgers and Rockies. In game one the Dodgers were one hit, and they won game two on the strength of two hits. Manager Dave Roberts rested Chase Utley and Corey Seager, two of the hottest Dodger bats, and just as Scott predicted, he fielded

Probably not. In Robert's defense I think it's become a sick addiction for him. He must play the terrible hitters against left handers. I think he may need to attend mendoza line hitter's anonymous. Oscar should really pursue a job as a motivational speaker. Because after he wrote this article about Justin Turner. The

The Dodgers slept walked through last night's game against the Rockies, and as a result, they were one-hit by a very good road pitcher. Tonight they countered with their AAA phenom, Julio Urias, who so far has been a very bad road pitcher. Tonight, however, Urias was wearing the home whites

There's no other explanation for it. Somebody must be turning the screws on Farhan Zaidi and Dave Roberts, forcing them to keep the light to non-hitting Justin Turner in prime spots of the Dodgers' batting order. Despite never returning as the power hitter he was last season, and not making contact

Dodger’s super kid 19-year old left hander Julio Urias will try it again on Tuesday evening in game 2 against the Rockies at Dodger Stadium. This will be the third career start for Urias, and his first appearance at Chavez Ravine. Hopefully being in front of the home crowd helps

Stark reality came crashing down upon the Dodgers in their pathetically predictable 6-1 loss to the Rockies in Monday evening’s series opener. Mike Bolsinger was unsurprsingly below average allowing six earned runs and two home runs to Colorado through 5.1 innings. Bolsinger isn’t the greatest pitcher in the world. That much is widely

The third place Rockies rolled into Chavez Ravine on the 72nd anniversary of D-Day, to face a Dodgers team that was as hot as it had been all season. Unfortunately, that was only as hot as a 4 inning-old Dodger dog. The Dodgers swept the Braves over the weekend, but skipper
