On Smart Sabermetrics and Stupid Lineups

The machinations behind the Dodgers daily line ups absolutely baffle me. Let's use yesterday's game against the Diamondbacks as an example. On one hand, the Dodgers made a smart move by dropping Adrian Gonzalez down to fifth in the batting order. I've called for that for the past few weeks. We

Kershaw and The B-Squad (Probably) Go For Series Win Over Snakes

I say this because you and I know full well that Dave Roberts is going to play the entire B-squad during the rubber game against the Snakes on getaway day. Will Venable, Scott Van Slyke, A.J. Ellis, and the execrable Kike Hernandez will all probably be in the lineup. That

Snake-Bitten Dodgers Continue Desert Series

The Dodgers successfully punted away another game on Monday evening in Arizona as they lost 3-2 to Zack Greinke and the Dbacks. The Dodgers once again scored only 2 runs as Andrew Friedman and Farhan Zaidi keep scratching their heads as to how to turn the Dodgers into a contending club. Newsflash

The Mercenary Shut Down the Dodgers, but then, Doesn’t Everybody? Dodgers Lose 3-2

Zack Greinke was the one the Dodgers let get away (to Arizona). Like a true mercenary, Greinke chased the dollars to the desert, and many in LA were smug and satisfied when he began 2016 in the worst way possible. Greinke was shelled mercilessly early in the season, but the

Dodgers Face Zack Greinke for First Time

Just as I expected and feared the Dodgers dropped the last two consecutive games to the Giants, dropping to five games behind and leaving town worse than when they came in. At this point I feel no need to try and be “positive” or blow smoke up anyone’s butt. This is just not

Can Julio Urias Pitch Past The 4th Inning Tonight?

Kenley Jansen decided he wanted to get into the act of blowing games himself and ruining poor Oscar's BBQ in the process during the Dodger’s pitiful 5-4 loss to the Giants on Saturday. Kenley is one of the greatest Dodger closers of all time and had only blown those two games in San

Kenley Jansen Blows Save, Ruins Our BBQ Party. Dodgers Lose 5-4

The Dodgers won the first game of the weekend series against the Giants with a little help from ninth inning heroics from Justin Turner and Clayton Kershaw's thirteen strike outs. They didn't have the benefit of Kershaw again, so Scott Kazmir and his up and down pitching abilities would have

Kazmir Vs. Shark in Game 2

Kenley Jansen nearly gave us all a heart attack on Friday night, but the Dodgers hung on to defeat the Giants by a 3-2 score. The Clayton Kershaw versus Johnny Cueto duel ended in a draw. Surprisingly it was Justin Turner’s clutch solo home run in the top of the ninth off

Kershaw Leads The Charge For Dodgers in The Lion’s Den

The Dodgers will open up an important three game series against the Giants in the lion’s den of At&t Park on Friday evening. The Dodgers still are unable to hit at all, scoring just 5 runs in the previous three game series against the Rockies. The Dodgers now rank 27th

Can Dave Roberts Resist The Urge To Play The B-Squad in Home Stand Finale Rubber Game?

Probably not. In Robert's defense I think it's become a sick addiction for him. He must play the terrible hitters against left handers. I think he may need to attend mendoza line hitter's anonymous. Oscar should really pursue a job as a motivational speaker. Because after he wrote this article about Justin Turner. The

Julio Urias Will Try it Again Tonight

Dodger’s super kid 19-year old left hander Julio Urias will try it again on Tuesday evening in game 2 against the Rockies at Dodger Stadium. This will be the third career start for Urias, and his first appearance at Chavez Ravine. Hopefully being in front of the home crowd helps
