Dodgers Injury News and Notes – Edman and Muncy Back Soon, and More

Published on by Andy Lane Chapman8 Comments

The Los Angeles Dodgers almost had gotten it all back together. They won five straight games, including sweeping the Pittsburgh Pirates at home and taking the first two in Milwaukee before losing in very unappealing fashion the last two games.

Jack Flaherty struggled for the first time in his Dodgers career, allowing three runs in the first inning Thursday. The Dodgers battled back to tie 3-3, even going ahead 4-3, but in the end the bullpen once again failed. This outing was Daniel Hudson, who allowed another three runs in 0.2 innings.

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 Opinions – How Much of a Role Does the Hitting Coach Play, Anyway?

(This also could be used in context of a manger in the postseason about slumping players but I digress)

The Los Angeles Dodgers have, on paper, one of the most high powered offense in all of Major League Baseball. They may also have the most inconsistent.

Thoughts on the Dodgers Season So Far

Published on by Andy Lane Chapman3 Comments

When the Los Angeles Dodgers would sputter in past seasons, I never really worried. Ever the eternal Dodgers optimist, I always knew they had enough talent to get through whatever team slump was happening and show what a strong team they were.

(This applied to the regular season only, obviously).

But this season is the first where I have seriously doubts about the team overall.

Dodgers News and Notes – Kershaw Gets Win 200, Depth Woes and More

Published on by Andy Lane Chapman10 Comments

We as Los Angeles Dodgers fans are so lucky to be watching greatness every five to six days and on Tuesday night, Clayton Kershaw showed us exactly why.

Kershaw turned in a vintage performance for his 200th career win, going 7.0 scoreless innings, striking out nine and walking none. After Jason Heyward bobbled a line drive to right field, allowing the batter to reach third on the very first at bat of the game, Kershaw proceeded to strike out the next three, stranding that runner. He didn’t allow anyone else past second the rest of the game.

MLB Announces New Rules for 2023, Latest Dodger Notes

Published on by Jose G. Quevedo18 Comments

Games at Dodger Stadium and MLB ballparks will look a bit differently next year, as MLB has instituted the new on-field play rules for the 2023 season.

MLB hopes to improve the pace of play and create more game action. First up is the pitch clock. One person who may not be happy is Pedro Baez. Pitchers have 15 seconds to throw a pitch if the bases are empty, 20 seconds with runners on, and hitters only get one timeout per plate appearance.

Dodgers Offense Continues to Gain Momentum

Published on by Jose G. Quevedo4 Comments

The Dodgers pitching staff still has the lowest ERA in the majors at 2.76 and has held opponents to a .213 batting average. But the Dodger offense is currently sixth best in the majors, just one point out of the top five. Having both the offense and pitching ranked that high has definitely aided to winning success.
