Dodgers could use a little right-handed help tonight
As you try to figure out who is going to play tonight one constant keeps on showing up, the Dodgers are short a right-handed hitting outfielder. Chase Utley has been sitting against LHP, so if you move Howie to 2nd base as has been the case, you have three outfield spots that need to be filled. Hard …
Jose De Leon keeps throwing his panama hat into the ring, and the Dodgers keep throwing it back at him
Jose was already on a hot streak but tonight he may have outdone everything he had already done to get noticed by the Dodger front office. Tonight Jose threw six no-hit innings and ended up with seven one-hit innings, no walks, and ten strikeouts. That is about as good as you can do. Over his last four …
Schebler & Peraza torment team that traded them to no avail
They both have hit a home run, and they both have hit a double so far this series. In total, they had 14 hits, while driving in six runs, and scoring six times. It did seem that Peraza was on base every time in the three games he played. Yet the Dodgers still won the …
“I just love hitting in this ballpark”
Adrian Gonzalez exclaimed after hitting his 3rd home run today, leading the Dodger explosion over the Reds. It should not have surprised anyone: He had after all already hit five home runs off of Homer Bailer. Adrian destroys Great American Ballpark. Adrian has crushed this year in day baseball with a triple stat line of …

Julio Urias continues to amaze
I don’t have the superlatives to describe what 20-year-0ld, Julio Urias did yesterday against the Reds but however you want to describe what he did, it was exactly what the Dodgers needed, and the last thing anything should have expected from someone who just turned 20-years-old barely a week ago. Urias turned in six shutout …
The unblackening is gone and I’m going to miss most of it but not all of it
Man, I loved that opening. It was so awesome. I don’t pay much attention to rating so it came as a surprise to me that The Nightly Show with Larry Wilmore was canceled this week. I didn’t watch every night, and probably missed his first 12 months because once Jon Stewart and Colbert left I …
Dodger Notes – Offense was halted for one game, is that a trend or an anomaly?
Even with scoring, only two runs run last night the Dodger offense has been its best weapon in the second half. Since the all-star break: The Dodgers still posted double-digit hits last night and continue to lead the NL in team batting average at .278, and slugging % .468 The Dodgers rank 2nd in the …
That lead didn’t last long
The Dodgers were in and out of first place so fast it was like watching a Jamaican running the 100-meter dash. What do you mean the Giants aren’t going to lose 2 out of 3 games the rest of the year? What do you mean that a rotation with Ross Stripling, Bud Norris, Brett Anderson, …
