Dodgers Embark on First Road Trip of Season

Published on by Andy Lane Chapman2 Comments

The Los Angeles Dodgers are starting their first road trip of this season, aside from that little sojourn to Korea. Does that actually count as a road trip?

Regardless, this one is a little six game spin through the north side of Chicago and the Twin Cities.

First up is a three game set against the Cubs, where the friendly confines of Wrigley Field may not be so friendly, temperature wise. All three games are mid afternoon games, local time, and no day while they’re there is it supposed to be above 50°. Sunday looks like there is rain forecast for most of the day.

Heading into the start of the 2024 regular season, the offense of the Los Angeles Dodgers received most of the attention across the baseball blogosphere by boasting one of the most prolific one-two-three punches the game has seen in recent history.

Happy Baseball Eve baseball fans! The Los Angeles Dodgers (re)start their march towards another World Series championship, beginning with their home opener against the St Louis Cardinals.

The 2024 regular season has already been unique for the Los Angeles Dodgers in ways they’ve never seen in the past — an opening series in South Korea, a leadoff batter hitting the cover off the baseball and a potential gambling scandal with scores of unanswered questions.

Dodgers Split Korean Series, Fly Home Under Cloud of Uncertainty

Published on by Andy Lane Chapman1 Comment

The Los Angeles Dodgers went 3-1 in their Korea era, having won both of their exhibition games, and split their series with the San Diego Padres.

In Game 1 against the Padres, the offense was sluggish early, but eventually battled back from a 2-1 deficit to win the game 5-2. Tyler Glasnow was shaky, allowing two runs over his five innings of work. The bullpen buckled in, and held the Padres scoreless, allowing the Dodgers to capitalize on a four-run eighth inning.

Dodgers Roster: What Lies Ahead for Blake Treinen?

Published on by Dennis Schlossman2 Comments

The 35-year-old reliever hasn’t pitched a full season since 2021 when he logged 72.1 innings of work with 85 punchouts and an impressive 0.982 WHIP. However, 2024 could be the year when he at least starts the season relatively healthy with a full head of steam.

Published on by Dennis Schlossman7 Comments

Although the Los Angeles Dodgers don’t have many holes in their active roster, there has been one demon that has already reared its ugly head during 2024 Cactus League play.

The big news coming out of camp this week is skipper Dave Roberts announcing that Mookie Betts has moved to shortstop with Gavin Lux shifting back to second base. While Roberts deemed the move permanent, it’s just too early in the season to guess how the infield will eventually pan out.

Although the 2024 MLB regular season begins on March 28 for most teams, the Los Angeles Dodgers and San Diego Padres will get a head start on this year’s campaign under the world microscope with a series in Seoul on March 20 and 21.
