The Dodgers are back at home after completing a 4-3 road trip. Sure they ended the trip on a down note after being shutout by Milwaukee right hander Zach Davies on Sunday. But a 4-3 road trip with two ninth-inning come from behind wins is nothing to scoff at. The Dodgers are

There was no comeback for the Dodgers today. There was no thrilling rally or grand slam home run to save them. This was just a quiet effortless shutout. The Dodger bats went cold as they shuffled off to board a plane to Los Angeles with the embarrassment of being shutdown

I’m walking, yes indeed, I’m walking….And I would walk 500 miles, and I would walk 500 more just to score more runs for the blue and I would walk 500 more…. Ok I’ll stop singing and making up silly lyrics. I’m sure you’re wondering why I am singing. Those stupid

26 strikeouts, two monster dongs and 12 innings was all the Dodgers needed to muscle past the Brewers 2-1 on Friday evening during the opening game of the weekend set at Miller Park.

So as usual I am unable to wake up most mornings without hearing the news of a new Dodger going to the disabled list. Honestly it’s just a huge slog or merry-go-round of players going on and off the disabled list. The constant roster and lineup shuffling, and the hoards

Dodger’s backstop Yasmani Grandal is on some kind of tear like we haven’t seen in some time. The switch-hitter is now batting .293 overall and drove in another run in the Dodger’s 4-0 win over the Cubs in the series opener with a run scoring double on Friday evening. When Grandal gets
