Read MoreI've been quiet for a couple of weeks - unfortunately, some personal things got in the way of sports and fun. I've finally got some time, so after one home stand and one travel series, let's break down the Dodgers and give my first report card of the Dodgers for 2019. Enjoy and
Read MoreThe Dodgers just love to do things the hard way. But what they don’t understand is that there is an easier way of doing things. The Dodgers could have built a better bullpen in the offseason that didn’t have several reclamation projects and journeymen clogging up the works. The Dodgers
Read MoreNow that all the ceremonial glee from the opening day slugfest is over, the season can really begin. The Dodgers and Dbacks continue their four game series on Friday evening at Dodger Stadium. Robbie Ray will take the mound for Arizona while the Dodgers will give the ball to right
Read MoreAs Joe Davis put it, the Dodger’s 2019 is off to a roaring start. The Dodgers set a major league record by blasting 8 home runs in their 12-5 opening day bludgeoning of the Arizona Dbacks at Dodger Stadium on Thursday afternoon. The game couldn’t have gone any better as
Read MoreOpening Day is mostly ceremonial. You don’t have to win on opening day to win the World Series. It isn’t mandatory, yet it’s something that makes us feel good. It’s nice to get that first win out of the way after the first game of the season. On the flip
Read MoreWith Clayton Kershaw out, the Dodgers have announced Hyun-Jin Ryu is the front-runner to pitch on Opening Day. They couldn't be more wrong. Dick Mountain deserves that ball - the Dodgers owe it to him. https://youtu.be/MqBasIzzIco
Read MoreWe’re almost two weeks away from opening day and the Dodger’s top two starting pitchers, Clayton Kershaw and Walker Buehler have yet to throw a single inning in exhibition play.

Read MoreHere's the latest on Clayton Kershaw possibly headed to the disabled list, who the Dodgers are considering to take his place if that happens, and updates on the rest of the Dodgers' starting rotation. Bonus: Kenley Jansen news in my latest video report: https://youtu.be/Ch6uBKr-DxE
Read MoreThe hot stove portion of the winter is well underway folks. Once again we’re hearing all kinds of rumors of the Dodgers being in on certain free agents and as usual nothing ever comes to fruition. The most hilarious connections are the links to Bryce Harper. There are still people,
Read MoreIt’s almost Thanksgiving which means the hot stove should be well underway. Unfortunately it’s not. As usual the Dodgers have done very little to nothing in terms of adding players for next year’s roster. The Dodgers still need a new GM, hitting coach, third base coach, starting catcher, and starting
Read MoreI'm assuming at some point before spring training camps break they will hire a GM. Far be it from me to say the Dodgers haven’t done anything this winter. After another agonizing World Series defeat, (this time to the Boston Red Sox in five games) the Dodgers did resign Clayton
Read MoreThe Dodgers offered qualifying offers to two of their free agents this winter. Left handed starter Hyun-jin Ryu was one of them. The other was catcher Yasmani Grandal. While it is expected that Grandal will reject the offer to test the free agent market, reports are indicating that Ryu will
Read MoreThe Dodgers lost game two of the World Series to the Red Sox 4-2 on Wednesday night at Fenway Park. It was certainly a demoralizing defeat as the Dodgers come home mired in an 0-2 series hole. Being down 2-0 in the World Series isn’t an insurmountable deficit but the Dodgers
Read MoreWe can make excuses for the Dodgers all night long if we like. You can blame the Dodgers losing the first two games of the World Series on the frigid Boston weather. You can blame the Dodgers losing on the fact that most of the players have never played at
Read MoreThe Dodgers defeated the Brewers 5-1 on Saturday night to clinch their second consecutive National League pennant. The boys in blue will open the World Series on Tuesday night at Fenway Park in Boston against the American League champion Red Sox. The first two games will be played at Fenway Park,
