Latest news and updates about the Dodgers
The Dodgers and Cubs continue their weekend series with another exclusive national broadcast on Saturday afternoon. Saturday is the Dodgers’ first game on Fox this season, which means no SportsNet LA for the series opener. But they will have Joe Davis on the national call, his first of two consecutive Dodgers Saturday telecasts for Fox. […]

It was reported after Thursday’s game that the Cubs had acquired Nicky Lopez from the Rockies for cash considerations. As Lopez was on a minor-league deal with Colorado, there was no immediate 26-man or 40-man roster move needed by the Cubs. This afternoon, before Friday’s game against the Dodgers at Los Angeles, the Cubs added […]
The Colorado Rockies (10–16) are back on the road, taking on the New York Mets (9–16), and will look to have a short memory after yesterday’s heart-wrenching loss to the Padres. Yesterday’s 10–8 loss capped a 3–4 homestand that saw the Rockies take two of four from the Los Angeles Dodgers and then nearly take […]
Maybe the Giants won’t have such a bad season? That’s certainly on the table. Not just because they humiliated the Los Angeles Dodgers this week, but because they really have been playing slightly better over the past couple of weeks (8-6 since April 7th). And, yes, that’s because some of the key contributors have started […]
One year ago, the Cubs were on their way to a playoff appearance with an outstanding outfield duo of Pete Crow-Armstrong and Kyle Tucker as two of their biggest contributors. Tucker is now a Dodger, and PCA has had a horrific start to the year, and yet, the Cubs’ offense is not only surviving all […]
The Cubs lost the first two games of 2025 between these two teams in Japan — and then took four of the next five. It’s too bad the Cubs lost their division series to the Brewers, because I think a Cubs/Dodgers NLCS last year would have been awesome. Maybe this October. For this Dodgers series […]
Almost everyone wants to forget the weirdness of the 2020 MLB season. The Dodgers winning a piece of metal after a 60-game season that saw divisions reworked and paper cutouts as fans in the stands was a real clincher to the strange year. Taxi squads and constant COVID tests were the norm, and the St. […]
Stealing eight bases and not getting caught once, the Great Lakes Loons ran all over the Sky Carp in a high-scoring win with both teams combining for 21 runs—meanwhile, the Tulsa Drilers set a new team record. Player of the day While a few candidates emerged on the hitting side of things, the clear choice […]

April is Autism Awareness and Acceptance month. Learn more here. You might have noticed that current Dodgers outfielder and former Mariner Teoscar Hernández has been sporting some new gear this season: his guards feature rainbow-colored interlocking puzzle pieces, a symbol for autism awareness since 1963. Hernández has been wearing the gear, which the company EvoShield […]
It took three games for the Dodgers to find any semblance of offense in San Francisco, and they managed to beat the Giants best starter to do it, salvaging a game behind a dominant Tyler Glasnow on getaway day Thursday in a 3-0 win at Oracle Park. Glasnow allowed only a single and a walk, […]

On Tuesday, we talked about Cainings. The San Francisco Giants introduced Los Angeles Dodgers ace and international superstar Yoshinobu Yamamoto to the concept, with the most common type of Caining in existence. Call it the Standard Caining. In the Standard Caining, a pitcher has a very good game, but their offense doesn’t do enough. Because […]
