On this episode of “Dugout Blues,” Jared Massey (Dodger Blue) and I get ready for a reasonably large series against the Giants this week while also recapping the past week’s action. The Dodgers suck against left-handed pitching. This isn’t a secret. There are a ton of under-performers, and there isn’t much that can be done about it…
Tonight begins the biggest series of the season … you know, since the last series against the Giants. And make no mistake, this will be a playoff-like series, despite the Giants’ second-half struggles. Each team’s rotation is set up exactly the way it would be come October: Game 1: Madison Bumgarner vs. Clayton Kershaw Game 2:…
In other words: Yeah, that was a bit of a wild one. Jose De León labored through his third major league start. He lasted just three and two-thirds innings, allowing six runs (four earned) on seven hits and two walks while striking out two. In the second inning, De León issued a leadoff walk to Brandon Drury. Mitch Haniger…
Today is a day game after a night game, a left-handed pitcher is starting, and the Dodgers have the division almost in-hand (a few more games’ margin would be nice, but the odds are heavily in their favor). As such, the Dodgers lineup, well, isn’t pretty. Austin Barnes getting a start at catcher isn’t necessarily…
The Dodgers lowered their magic number to 11 after defeating the Arizona Diamondbacks 6-2 on Saturday evening at Chase Field. The offense finally woke up (six runs on 11 hits) and scored four runs off Shelby Miller, and they even scored a rare run off a left-hander. They also took advantage of some poor defense by the…
Brock Stewart draws what could be final start of the season against the Diamondbacks tonight. He’s starting in place of Bud Norris, who is not a good pitcher.

The Dodgers lost a tough one yesterday, but bounced back and gritted through an ugly win today. In the end, that’s all that matters, and despite general offensive difficulties, Kenta Maeda not being at his sharpest, and the bullpen looking shaky, the Dodgers got it done in a 3-2 win over Zack Greinke and the…

On Thursday Andre Ethier started in back-to-back games for the first time this season while collecting his first base hit. Dave Roberts has allowed the long-tenured Dodger to get some games in so that he has the opportunity to get into a rhythm. Ethier is playing for a postseason roster spot, but the veteran is in…
