You know I don’t want to beat a dead horse, especially when things seem to be ticking upwards for the Dodgers. Sunday’s series finale between the Dodgers and Padres at Petco Park was rained out. That’s fine since the Dodgers already won the series by winning the first two games,

They say when a door closes, a window opens. Yesterday the stoic Butter and Eggs Man, Adrian Gonzalez, stepped off the field and on the disabled list for the first time in his career. However, fans of Gonzalez weren't too sad for too long, because Cody Bellinger stepped right into place

The Dodgers had their best pitcher on the mound in Clayton Kershaw facing the Dodgers achilles heel in a left hander named Clayton Richard. Petco park is looking more like a home game for the boys in blue these days. The game started off slow with Kershaw on the mound

The Dodgers (and Adrian Gonzalez) read the writing on the clubhouse walls - and they must have read the writing here on LADR as well. Gonzalez signed himself onto the disabled list this morning, completing the one for one roster trade-off as Joc Pederson came back to the club after

Last night was such a fun night, but it was back to reality for the Los Angeles Mediocrities, I mean Dodgers. After scoring 13 runs on 11 hits the night before, the Dodgers score one run on six hits and once again roll over to the Giants like a folding beach chair.

It was a west coast style run scoring party at Dodger Stadium on Tuesday night which led to the Dodger’s 13-5 pummeling of the Giants to even their three game series at one game each. The Dodgers were originally down 4-0 after the second inning after Alex Wood exploded. In

The Los Angeles Dodgers befuddle me. I don't mean I disagree with some of their decisions. I'm not talking about the minutia of pitch counts or whether or not a strategic bunt is necessary at a particular time. I mean they make decisions that absolutely defy logic, common sense and

Whenever Clayton Kershaw starts at Dodger Stadium against the Giants it could be considered one of the most secure bets in baseball. Keshaw was 10-0 with a 0.65 ERA in his last ten starts at Chavez Ravine. Coming into tonight’s series opener against the Giants he was 19-8 with a
