The Jim Rome show is back over here. Dodger's manager Dave Roberts stopped by to discuss preparing for the upcoming 2020 season. If there is a season, how long would the players need to be ready? Would an extra two weeks be enough time for pitchers to build arm strength?

2020 was supposed to be a big year for the Dodgers. The huge blockbuster deal that brought Mookie Betts and David Price to Los Angeles heightened anticipation for the upcoming Dodger season. The Dodgers were looking awfully good during spring training. 2020 was probably going to be a great year

In a simple world we would probably play a half season. With the Coronavirus spreading around the country like wild fire, all sports including baseball have been put on indefinite hold. It seems so trivial talking about baseball during a time like this. We do need to talk about it

I wanted to break from normal protocol over here and talk about something non-Dodger Baseball related. Obviously there is no Dodger Baseball or any baseball for the foreseeable future. All sports, baseball, NBA, NFL, NHL, MLS are all suspended indefinitely due to the coronavirus pandemic. Some things are bigger than

With Baseball shutdown and the entire country on lockdown because of the Coronavirus pandemic, there is not much to do or write about. Recently former Dodger great Mike Piazza visited the Jim Rome show. The interview touches on a lot of topics that are relevant to what is going on

Hello everyone, As Spring Training was coming along, I was thinking about what my LA Dodger Report content would look in 2020. Unfortunately, the c-virus outbreak sat right in the middle of the room and stopped the baseball season cold. For what it's worth, the national "holding in place" strategy has

The Dodgers have essentially announced their starting rotation for the 2020 season. Barring any unforeseen injuries (knock on wood) the rotation should be Clayton Kershaw, Walker Buehler, David Price, with Julio Urias and Alex Wood rounds out the backend of the rotation. Dave Roberts has already announced that Clayton Kershaw

The all-star game is going to be held at Dodger Stadium this summer for the first time since 1980. For the record this is just the second time ever that the midsummer classic is hosted at Chavez Ravine. Back in 1980, the Dodgers unveiled the brand new state of the

Remember when prized pitching prospect Yadier Alvarez was one of the top rated pitching prospects in the Dodger’s system? Things change quickly for players these days. The Dodgers designated and then once Alvarez cleared waivers outrighted him to either Tulsa or Oklahoma City. The young right hander’s pitching career has

Bang! There's another one. Bang! Bang! The Houston Astros took cheating to unimaginable heights during the 2017, and 2018 seasons. The club’s organizational scheme cheated the Dodgers out of a World Series championship. The franchise is publicly shamed, and ostracized across the internet on an almost hourly basis. They cheated,

Obviously World Series are not won via projections. The game is played on the field not on paper or predictions. However everyone would agree that the 2020 Dodgers are not only going to be very very good, if not great they have the potential to be dominant. According to the

The Dodgers kicked off their 2020 cactus league schedule on Saturday night with a 10-4 win over the Giants in Scottsdale. Tony Gonsolin and Dennis Santana opened the game with scoreless frames and there were three home runs hit by sluggers Max Muncy, Enrique Hernandez, and Chris Taylor. You can’t

Let’s talk about Terrance Gore for a minute. The Dodgers signed the speedster and base running specialist with one singular purpose in mind. That’s because the 28-year old outfielder is a terrible hitter. To be fair Gore only tallied no more than 5 plate appearances between 2014-2018 with the Royals

So the Dodgers after designating him for assignment, traded outfielder Kyle Garlick to the Phillies for minor league left handed pitcher Tyler Gilbert. I’ve
