Dodgers can’t handle Trea Turner’s power in loss to the Phillies
There is a saying that the best defense is a good offense, and Trea Turner certainly took that to heart, leading the Phillies to a 10-7 win over the Dodgers in a performance of two halves. Turner’s work with the bat, hitting a pair of home runs, made everyone in the park forgive and forget […]

Dodgers on Deck: Tuesday, July 21 at Phillies
The Dodgers and Philadelphia Phillies resume their series on Tuesday night at Citizens Bank Park. Justin Wrobleski makes the start on Tuesday, one week after he struck out five in two innings in his first All-Star Game, in this same ballpark. Five strikeouts for Wrobleski tied a Dodgers record for an All-Star Game, joining Don […]
Dodgers acquire reliever Seth Halvorsen from Rockies
The Dodgers made a trade on Monday, acquiring relief pitcher Seth Halvorsen from the Colorado Rockies for pitcher Nick Frasso and minor league outfielder Landyn Vidourek. Halvorsen has been on the injured list with right shoulder inflammation since July 4, but he just started a rehab assignment with a scoreless inning on Sunday for Triple-A […]
The search for Cheesesteak El Dorado
About four years ago, I stumbled upon a bit of lore that felt like a secret while researching a question we all take for granted: Why is it okay for fans to take home runs and foul balls from stadiums? If I were to run off with a basketball or football that ended up in […]
Facing an uphill climb in Philadelphia
As a whole, despite taking two out of three in one of the toughest places to visit, Yankee Stadium, the Dodgers offense didn’t have the best of times, twice failing to even crack three runs in a game. Well, the post-All-Star break journey doesn’t get any easier with a stop in Philly that begins with […]
Dodgers Week 17: All-Stars & a series win in New York
Several Dodgers did reconnaissance at Citizens Bank Park last week, in preparation for this week’s series against the Phillies. But it was also for good reason, with three Dodgers starting the All-Star Game and Justin Wrobleski on the mound. Once regular season play resumed on Friday, the Dodgers acquitted themselves well in a low-scoring weekend […]
Dodgers minors: Easton Shelton demolishing baseballs for fun
The Comets and Tower Buzzers emptied the tank with standout offensive displays while the Loons and Drillers found themselves on the losing end of close matchups. Player of the day Five hits, a pair of long balls: Easton Shelton was on fire in the Tower Buzzers’ win over the Storm. Shelton’s two long balls carried […]
Shohei Ohtani pitching start scratched, no set timetable for return
The original plan was for Shohei Ohtani to start on Wednesday’s series finale in Philadelphia, putting him in the sixth rotation spot after the break, maximizing his time off from pitching to rest his left knee, while also pitching directly before an off day. But those plans changed over the weekend, after Ohtani felt discomfort […]
Dodgers have their share of losing in the Bronx
18 innings in one day can sometimes be too much for one team to handle, and that was the case for the Dodgers as they dropped the second half of a doubleheader to the Yankees 2-1. After both aces battled earlier on Sunday, both teams were relegated to using their bullpens. The Dodgers struck first […]

Dodgers notes: Shohei Ohtani, Kiké Hernández, Yoshinobu Yamamoto
For the first time since the “hurriquake” of August 2023, the Dodgers will play a doubleheader on Sunday after their game against the Yankees on Saturday was postponed due to heavy rain.

Dodgers minors: Josue De Paula leads Drillers to a tightly contested win
Other than a narrow win for the Drillers, not a lot of positives to report in a day of only three games, as the Loons saw their matchup with the Whitecaps postponed. Player of the day Not to diminish his accomplishment in any way, as go-ahead home runs don’t grow on trees, but Josue De […]
Will Smith expected to miss at least another month

Finish line in sight: On the eve of visiting the Bronx
“I’m almost done.” It’s a weird feeling that has been simmering in my head these past few months. It has grown louder with each passing day. This life is a funny old life. I could never have imagined in April 2021 in Oakland that five and a half years later I would stand on the […]
Dodgers open second half against the New York Yankees
The Dodgers finally enjoy some good scheduling on the East Coast. Last season Dodger fans will remember that the team was in New York on back-to-back weekends but flying home for a series in between. This time, the All-Star Game was in Philly, with the team then starting a nine-game stretch of New York, Philly, […]
Dodgers notes: Trade deadline plans, Tarik Skubal, Shohei Ohtani
With the second half of the regular season now officially underway, the countdown for the trade deadline has begun. The Dodgers had a relatively lackluster trade deadline last season compared to previous seasons, with the only two notable moves made being the acquisitions of both outfielder Alex Call and right-handed reliever Brock Stewart. The front […]
