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…
To say that “ Relief Pitchers are Volatile “… is an incredible understatement! In AA and NA culture, they often say: “ From a hopeless dope fiend to a dopeless hope fiend. ” Relief pitchers can be maddening. In 2022, Andrew Friedman said this in a SI interview: “ Relievers…
Rant & Rave Sunday GAME 1 WIN IN PHILLY. pic.twitter.com/mnjX9qlveM — Nate (@dodgernate) October 5, 2025 It wasn’t pretty, but it was poetic. The team that led the league in Comebacks came back! Ohtani did not have his best stuff, and Glasnow’s control was suspect, but it was…
I will not draw any conclusions from what I am about to post. All I will say is that Preller has a .490 winning percentage since he took over in San Diego. Here’s a best-effort, year-by-year rollup of Padres prospects/minor-leaguers A.J. Preller has traded away since he took…
At the trade deadline, all of the sports media proclaimed that the Padres had “Won the Trade Deadline.” After all, they got O’Hean, Lauerano, Sears, and (OMG) Mason Miller, who throws 150 MPH as a closer. The Dodgers and every other MLB team were warned that the Padres were the…
Certainly, the Dodgers have the star power. They showed at the stars come out at night in the Playoffs at Dodger Stadium; however, there is one factor that is not usually measured, and that is JunkyardDogism! I love that word… partially because it makes Bluto’s head explode. 😉…
The Los Angeles Dodgers won the World Series in 2024. It is tough in the modern era to win it two years in a row. In fact, it has not been done in 25 years. The Dodgers have a shot, but it is much more difficult this time around. Everyone has analytics and scouting. It’s a chess…
