Dodgers rolled dice and crapped out
The Dodgers didn’t have to hand the ball to a twenty-one-year pitcher who had only started two games in AAA and wasn’t on the 40-man roster but that is what they choose to do for the Wednesday night game. It was exciting for everyone but in the end, it was too much to ask of …
How did the Dodgers resurrect their season?
On May 16th the Dodgers were 16 – 26 and had lost six games in a row to the likes of the Cincinnati Reds and Miami Marlins. They were only 8.5 games out of 1st place because the Arizona Diamondbacks were involved in their own freefall. The Dodgers are now 30 – 30 and very …
Can Dodgers continue to ride the Oklahoma pitching train?

They were picked number …
Matt Kemp your NL Batting Average Leader
Even if you don’t subscribe to batting average being part of the cool club, it is still something to marvel at when Matt Kemp leads the National League in batting average after two months of the season are in the books. Notice I did not say he leads the NL in hitting as that is …
Dodger debuts are always special
Position player debuts are exciting but there is something different when it is a starting pitcher. Especially a starting pitcher who is considered a bonafide prospect and not someone just filling in like let’s say, Stephen Fife. Yeah, this is going to be a long list. Not as long as I thought it was going …
Dennis Santana about to go where no Dodger has ever gone before.
