… and they did! Ernie Banks was famous for that saying, and last night the players took it literally as they played 18 innings! My son texted me that he was worried they were going to have Sandy Koufax start warming up in the bullpen in the seventeenth inning. This was a game…
Yesterday, Dodger fans were making excuses for Blake Snell: “ Well, he hadn’t pitched in 10 days.” So, Yoshi Yamamoto hadn’t pitched in 11 days, and he went nine innings and won 5-1 . This is a no-excuse zone, and Blake Snell failed the test. Yamamoto aced it. Like Yoda said…
Blue Jays aren’t actually blue. Their brilliant blue color of their feathers isn’t from pigment — it’s an optical illusion. Their feathers are structurally designed to scatter light, reflecting only blue wavelengths. If you crush a Blue Jay feather, it turns brown! However, the…
Tonight, at 5:00 PDT and 8:00 EDT, the Dodgers will take the field in the Rogers Center to face the Blue Jays. 32-year-old Blake Snell will take the mound against 22-year-old Trey Yesavage. Snell has 10 years of experience and has pitched 1,158 regular-season innings and 70 more…
The Dodgers are in Toronto and have a couple of days of practice before Friday’s Game One of the World Series. Everyone is comparing the Dodgers’ position players to the Blue Jays’ Position players as if Vlad Guerrero were pitching to Freddie Freeman or George Springer were…
Your Los Angeles Dodgers clinched the NLCS for the 5th time in the past 9 years last night, led by Shohei Ohtani, who had “the best game ever” by a major league baseball player as he pitched six innings, striking out 10 and allowing just two hits and no runs for the win… Oh, and…
Around September 1, 2025, I said that at some point, the Dodgers would “flip the switch,” to which many fans called BS. Here is what I wrote: Every year, the Dodgers go through tough stretches, and many fans lose their minds and spew forth vomit about the Dodgers. It happens…
After a productive NL Wild Card Series against the Reds (two homers, four RBIs), Shohei Ohtani has gone just 2-for-25 (.080) with two RBIs, five walks, and 12 strikeouts in six games since the beginning of the NLDS. So, yesterday Ohtani hit five rounds of batting practice on the…
In 2024, Blake Snell threw 114 pitches in a no-hitter versus the Reds — it was his first complete game, and the 114 pitches were just shy of his career high. Last night, he threw 103 pitches without walking anyone, but it was a tough call to take him out. It almost backfired…
The Dodgers will play the Brewers in Milwaukee on Monday, and change is in the air: The Brewers were 6-0 against the Dodgers this year. The Dodgers want revenge and are motivated to win back-to-back World Series titles and become the first team to do so since the Yankees won…
Lots of fans think that they know better than the baseball manager, and nowhere is this more apparent than with Dodger fans who claim every loss is on Dave Roberts and every win is in spite of him. When Doc took out Tyler Glasnow, message boards all over the blogosphere went…
Today, Tyler Glasnow has the opportunity to pitch the game of his life and send the Dodgers to the NLCS. This is why they traded Pepiot and DeLuca for the big fellow. If he can control his pitches, it will be a long day for the Phillies. If he can’t, it will be a long day for…
