…aaaaaand exhale, because wow, did a lot just happen there. Clayton Kershaw was fine, but hardly up to his usual standards. I know that sounds weird when you consider that he struck out eight, walked one, and allowed three earned runs in seven innings. For most any other pitcher in baseball, that’s a pretty great…
Julio Urias and Corey Seager represented the Dodgers well in Sunday’s Futures Game in Minnesota. Urias pitched in the fifth inning of the game, and did nothing to dispel the hype he’s getting. He was at 92-94 MPH with the fastball in his 14-pitch outing. He touched 95 MPH on the MLB Network radar gun,…
After last night’s Scott Van Slyke in center escapades, Andre Ethier is back out there, with Matt Kemp again in left, and…. Wait. Wait. I just filled out the White Sox lineup in the box below, and I’ve triple-checked it three times, and I’m still not sure I’m reading this right. Adam Dunn? In left…
If you saw this outing by Paul Maholm coming, you’re either lying or need to play the lottery. His outing is even more impressive seeing as the Rockies were hitting an MLB-best .296 (by 34 points) and 131 runs scored (by 22 runs) coming into the game. Maholm’s line was fantastic: 7 IP, 6 H,…
A sponsored message from our friends at TiqIQ: After taking the rubber game of a three-game series against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Sunday afternoon, the Los Angeles Dodgers will host the Philadelphia Phillies for four games at Dodger Stadium this week. The Dodgers schedule keeps the team at home in Los Angeles until next Tuesday,…
Juan Uribe has been getting a lot of praise for his offense so far this year. And rightfully so: Uribe currently leads the Dodgers’ batters in wRC+. However, he’s taken an unusual path to get there. So far this season, Uribe has not drawn a single walk. Including last year’s postseason (when he didn’t draw…

Earlier today, I ended a post about how good things were looking with this: As we look forward to the final exhibition game tonight and the start of the regular season tomorrow, we’re being hit with nothing but good news on the eve of what should be a fantastic season. So like any good Dodger…
Free agents are becoming fewer and less talented because of the new trend of teams locking up their players a year or two before they accumulate six years of service time. Before the 2012 season, the Reds locked up Joey Votto and the Giants locked up Matt Cain to massive deals. They were both set…
The Dodgers’ family lost one of its longest-tenured members on Thursday in Dr. Frank Jobe, who died in his Santa Monica home at the age of 88. Jobe was a member of the Dodgers’ organization beginning in 1964, and he was also associated — early in his career — with the then Los Angeles Rams…
