Dodger's veteran left hander and curveball master Rich Hill's 2019 season was cut short due to elbow and knee problems. The southpaw tossed just 58.2 innings this season and his attempt to come back to pitch the postseason was a disaster. Hill actually suffered a UCL tear that kept him off

The Dodgers are not in the World Series as you can tell. World Series clubs need great pitching in order to make it to the Fall Classic and unsurprisingly the Dodgers did not have great pitching in 2019. Two men who were not part of that problem were southpaws Hyun-jin

Was anyone surprised that the Dodger hitters were completely feckless against Max Scherzer one of the greatest pitchers of our generation in game 4 of the NLDS against Washington on Monday night? It shouldn’t come as a shock to anyone. Scherzer limited the Dodgers to just one earned run on

If Rich Hill only needs one knee to pitch this postseason then perhaps he is ready to go. Despite limping and wincing in pain, Hill tossed two scoreless frames against the Padres for the Dodgers on Tuesday night. He also contributed at the plate with a double. The Dodgers removed

I’m looking at the Oklahoma City roster right now as I type this and I can see at least three pitchers the Dodgers could call up that can’t do any worse than a few of the bums they currently have in the bullpen. It baffles me why the Dodgers don’t

It’s very rare these days to see a game in which there were no Dodger highlights of any kind. Yet tonight we saw one. The National’s 6-0 win over the boys in blue on Thursday evening was completely devoid of anything positive for the Dodgers. It was awful right from

L.A. Dodgers pitcher Rich Hill just wrote an article for The Players Tribune. In it, he tells us about enduring the worst tragedy that could ever befall a family, and how they came out the other side. Powerful stuff! https://youtu.be/Y-rec_0-ytA

Opening 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

I was listening to the radio the other day, and the topic of conversation was the Dodgers. More specifically about the 2018 World Series, and even more specifically game 4 of the 2018 World Series. I’m sure you all remember the horrible outcome of that game. That was the game

It’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

As all Hallows eve descends upon us I am reminded that the Dodgers have played only once on Halloween. During last year’s World Series the boys in blue took on the Houston Astros in game 6 of the World Series. That was the only the sixth time in MLB history that
