Just who is the Dodgers best SS prospect?
Based on early season prospect rankings the answer would be the 2016 number one pick Gavin Lux, but is it? From what I can tell, the Dodgers have three shortstops on their Great Lakes roster or at least two. The contenders: Gavin Lux – the 2016 number one pick didn’t play his first game this …
Dodgers win 18th game in May
The red-hot Dodgers won their 18th game in May, something they haven’t done since 2010 when they went 20 – 8. Those 18 wins are the fourth most in LAD franchise history with the most being 21 wins in 1962. With two games left the Dodgers have a shot at 20 wins which they accomplished …
Updated May Stats – Wood rules the roost
May Record – 17/8 National League West Position – 2nd place, 1 1/2 games back of the Rockies who have gone 17/9 in May. The Good Stuff: Alex Wood has been the best pitcher for the month and since he is now on the DL, that won’t change any. The bullpen has been unbelievable. Josh …
Kershaw goes for 2,000th strikeout today
It was just nine years ago that Clayton Kershaw was making his first start for the LAD, now he’s trying to notch his 2,000th strikeout. Time flies when you are having fun. Kershaw already owns the most strikeouts for any Dodger by age 29, but if he can wrangle ten strikeouts today, he would hit …

So far this year the Dodgers have lost the first game of every starter who has come back from the disabled list. They are 0 -4 in those games, with only one pitcher pitching notably well. The Games: 4/16/2017 – Rich Hill makes his first return from the DL and loses 3 – 1. Hill …
The time was right for Joe Davis
Part of the reason I stopped being a Laker fan was because of the loss of Chick Hearn. I often wondered if the same would happen when Vin Scully was no longer calling Dodger games. Those were the only voices I’d heard from age 12 on up. They were part of my Los Angeles DNA. …
The ball finds you
Chris Taylor made his first ever start in CF last night and on the second pitch, Fowler hit a deep drive to straight away CF that seemed destined for a leadoff double or triple, but Chris Taylor tracked it down and leaped at the wall to snare the out leading Joe Davis to exclaim “The …
Forsythe has a triumphant return
For the first nine innings of last nights ballgame it looked like the Dodgers might have activated Logan Forsythe before he was ready. Logan struck out four times in his first four at-bats out of the lead off spot, but when it really counted he struck for gold connecting on a double to drive in …
