Things are going just swimmingly right now for the Dodgers. Yasiel Puig is back and looks to be in great shape. He homered in the Dodger’s 7-4 victory over the Padres on Sunday afternoon. The Dodgers rallied to take the series with the Padres and move to 3 games ahead of the

As Scott told us in the pregame report, this is the last time in 2016 the Dodgers will play in the Baseball Devil's Triangle known as Coors field. Kenta Maeda, the most consistent Dodgers starting pitcher since the All-Star break, was tasked with winning his seventh straight game. The game was

It seems like I owe Brock Stewart a huge apology. I thought he was going to get hammered by the Cubs in the Dodger’s 1-0 win on Sunday afternoon. The kid stepped up to the plate and gave the Dodgers 5 shutout frames. His stuff was dazzling and the Dodgers eked

The battle for the NL West begins tonight! Leeeeet's Geeeeeet Reaaaaaady Toooooo Ruuummmmbbllllle!!!! The Dodgers have a new solution to their pitching problems. It’s simple, just hit a bunch of home runs and outscore your opponent. The trick is to just keep scoring, every inning, and keep hitting the ball over the

The Dodgers pitching rotation has been a merry go round. I want to call the rotation the "Mash Unit" because they always seem to be in the E.R.. The bullpen and hot bats have kept the season afloat. But now as the Dodgers hold a one game lead over the

Long before Chase Utley wore Dodger blue, he wore Phillies red. Tonight's game saw his return to the city he called home for twelve years. How would those ever-loving Phillies fans react? The first time Utley stepped to the plate, the fans stepped up big, with true brotherly love that

The Dodgers are coming off of a 5-4 home stand and a tough series loss to the Pirates. Oddly enough the Pirates are now playing a series at San Francisco and have helped the Dodgers move closer to first place by beating the sputtering Giants. The boys in blue enter today

The second game against the Phillies was a battle of the aces, sort of. Philadelphia starter Vincent Velasquez is their bona fide ace. Maeda has become the Dodgers' default ace. Since Clayton Kershaw went down, Maeda has been the most consistent Dodgers' starter. He has pitched the deepest into games,

The Dodgers did their part on Monday night defeating the Phillies 9-4 in the opening game of their three game series. Unfortunately the stupid Marlins and stupid Don Mattingly did not do their jobs and blew a 5-1 lead allowing the Giants to come from behind and win 8-7. The slimy Giant’s 14-inning

Like it or not, I’m back (at least for a day)! For the record, I may or may not re-start LA Dodger Talk.com. Also, for the record, I have absolutely no problem with anyone disagreeing with me. Just back it up. I was going to explain this to you, but

The past two days in Colorado have been miserable for the Dodgers. After being pounded by the Rockies' bats, the Dodgers needed a big outing from starter Kenta Maeda. Would he be able to stop the bleeding, and help the Dodgers salvage the road trip with a win? 1st inning Dodgers They

The Dodger pitching staff is a mess. The pathetic state of the Dodger pitching became even more apparent after Wednesday’s 12-2 drubbing by the surging Rockies. It should have come as no surprise to anyone with half a brain that minor leaguer Brock Stewart would get lit up like a Christmas tree

Baseball is such an incredibly amazing game. Things always even out over the course of a 162 game regular season. Sometimes you just want to cry curled up into a fetal position. At other times you want to run outside and dance. When I say dance I mean like Mick

Tonight was the opening game of a weekend series with the Arizona Diamondbacks. The Snakes brought suitcases full of ridiculous uniforms, and the Dodgers brought Kenta Maeda to the party. Oh yeah, they also brought big blue Dodger hearts that would not give up. 2nd inning Dodgers Single for Adrian Gonzalez. Walk to Andrew

We’re about three days from the trade deadline, but the Dodgers haven’t done anything yet. There hasn’t been much movement across the boards to be honest. The Cubs got Aroldis Chapman. The Giants got Eduardo Nunez from the Twins for cheap. The Marlins just got Andrew Cashner because why not?
