Where The Dodger Dogs Are Always Grilled
Since the Padres inaugural season in 1969, the Dodgers have mostly maintained the upper hand in clashes between the two teams.

Max Muncy’s 2025 season can be sliced into three individual pieces; a rocky beginning, a two month stretch where he was arguably the best left handed hitter in baseball, and an injury plagued second half to the season.

Gavin Stone was the answer to a trivia question in 2024, as he led a championship team in both starts (25) and innings pitched (140 1/3), but did not pitch during the postseason. The right-hander had shoulder surgery in October 2024, which not only wiped out a potential playoff run but also the entire 2025 […]
