Published on by Dennis Schlossman7 Comments

The Los Angeles Dodgers needed a hero on Saturday night to stay on pace with the Toronto Blue Jays in the 2025 World Series, and Yoshinobu Yamamoto delivered in spectacular fashion. After Friday’s brutal 11-4 collapse exposed several of the team’s most glaring vulnerabilities, Yamamoto turned back the clock with a complete-game masterpiece to even the World Series at one game apiece. The question for the Dodgers heading home to Los Angeles: Which team will show up over the next three games?

After one of the most sizzling starts in recent team history, the Los Angeles Dodgers dropped two games to the Philadelphia Philles in a three-game weekend set, falling to 9-2 on the year amid an East Coast road trip.

Sunday’s finale was a back-and-forth battle that saw the Dodgers jump out to a 2-0 lead in the first frame after Teoscar Hernandez hit his first long ball of the afternoon. In the bottom of the third, Los Angeles starter Tyler Glasnow lost his command, walking the bases loaded before first baseman Bryce Harper singled to put the Phillies on the board. The biggest blow came after Glasnow was replaced by lefty Alex Vesia, who promptly surrendered a grand slam to outfielder Nick Castellanos, capping off a six-run frame for Philadelphia.

Published on by Dennis Schlossman22 Comments

In what could easily have been a sweep, the Los Angeles Dodgers dropped the final two games of the weekend series to the Detroit Tigers and limped into the 2024 MLB All-Star break despite still having the best record in the National League West.

In Saturday’s middle game, the Dodgers led by as many as five runs before the bullpen self-imploded. Ricky Vanasco, Evan Phillips and Yohan Ramirez surrendered a total of seven runs over the final two innings, handing Detroit the 11-9 victory.

Dodgers Are Putrid Right Now (Hopefully That Doesn’t Continue in the Second Half)

Published on by Andy Lane Chapman6 Comments

Boy watching this Los Angeles Dodgers team right now is demoralizing.

The Dodgers no doubt have been hit with an inordinate amount of injuries, and to some of the key most players. Not having Max Muncy and Mookie Betts in this lineup changes the length and dynamic of it.

Dodgers Fall to Padres in Weekend Series at Petco Park

Published on by Dennis Schlossman8 Comments

Mother’s Day weekend wasn’t overly kind to the Los Angeles Dodgers at the beginning of a six-game stint on the road. Despite a five-run output and a win on Saturday, there wasn’t much offense at all to speak about Friday’s opener and Sunday’s finale.

Obviously, former Dodger Yu Darvish was excellent in San Diego’s 4-0 victory on Sunday. It’s tough to say how the Dodgers would have fared with their prime lineup on the field, but Los Angeles just managed four hits on the afternoon, with two coming off the bat of shortstop Mookie Betts.
