What could be better than an Arizona meltdown in the bottom of the ninth? A Giants meltdown certainly. Maybe a Cubs meltdown is just as good? Or perhaps an Angel’s meltdown as well? I know a Rockies or Padres meltdown is pretty cool too. Whatever the case the Dodgers incredibly

Dodger’s super utility man Enrique Hernandez has long been a favorite whipping boy of this site over the last several seasons. It’s primarily due to his terrible batting and on-base skills. This year is no different with Hernandez batting a minuscule .215 and posting a .287 OBP over 286 plate

It doesn’t take a scientist or a forensic expert to figure out that three Dodger batters are stinking up the lineup. Three Dodgers are terrible hitters and having them in the lineup at the same time let alone hitting back-to-back-to-back is dooming the Dodgers to certain defeat over the last

Wednesday’s exciting four-run Dodger come from behind win was certainly enthralling. The Dodgers scored four runs in the bottom of the ninth against New York closer Edwin Diaz to overcome an 8-5 deficit. Tonight’s game wasn’t quite at the same breakneck pace of last night’s slugfest but it was just

When Dave Roberts hooked Dodger starter Kenta Maeda with two outs in the top of the seventh inning and nobody on base on Wednesday evening against the Padres, I was worried. Don’t tell me you weren’t worried too. I understand that pitchers wins and losses mean nothing but tonight I

Just as the Padres and their fans were getting excited on Friday night the Dodgers rallied in the late innings to erase a 3-0 deficit to crush San Diego's spirits and comeback for a 4-3 win. Such a shame....NOT! The Dodgers had a bad time in San Francisco dropping two

After Enrique Hernandez batted .190 in 2016 I wondered if he had peaked. Hernandez a Dodgers fan and management favorite rebounded in the following seasons. He posted a 117 OPS + with 21 home runs and a .256/.336/.470 slash line in 2018. Hernandez had been considered a super utility player

Tuesday night marked the third consecutive night that the Dodgers have gotten a quality start from their starter, which included said starter pitching into the seventh inning or later. As I have decried on this blog for literally years that when your starters go deep into games good things happen.

The Dodgers overcame a 3-2 deficit to score twice in the bottom of the seventh knocking off the Giants 5-3 on Wednesday night at Dodger Stadium. The Dodger bats continued to produce backing another solid outing from Ross Stripling. Even the bullpen managed to not blow it and the Dodgers

The 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

As 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

I’ve spent a lot of time talking about the Dodger’s catcher situation. They still don’t have one. Austin Barnes is the lone backstop with major league experience on the roster at the moment. While we wait to see what the Dodgers do about that problem, second base is also a

The Dodgers were on the verge of winning game 4 of the World Series on Saturday night at Dodger Stadium. The victory would have tied the series and given them an edge with Clayton Kershaw scheduled to start game five and three games remaining in the fall classic. Everything was setup

The 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
