Where The Dodger Dogs Are Always Grilled
This happened over time, but a rarely think about complete games anymore as a possibility, due to their rarity. There were only 29 of them during the MLB regular season this year, roughly one every 168 games or so, a little less than one per team. Yoshinobu Yamamoto has pitched two of them in a […]
The Dodgers offense fired on all cylinders over their two-game sweep of the Cincinnati Reds in the Wild Card series, but since then, they haven’t provided much to desire. The Dodgers were outscored by the Philadelphia Phillies 15-12 in the NLDS despite winning the series in four, and although they swept the Milwaukee Brewers in […]
Even though the Dodgers, as a team, won Game 2, you wouldn’t be entirely wrong to claim that Yoshinobu Yamamoto singlehandedly took over this one, doing so with what could only be described as an anachronistic effort. While our loyalties lie with teams, we often fall in love with individuals to take us to that […]
Sunday is an off day after the Jonas Brothers concert on Saturday at Rogers Centre in Toronto was interrupted by the Dodgers’ win over the Blue Jays in Game 2 in the World Series. Here are some news and notes for your morning. Dodgers pitchers over the last seven games have built a picket fence. […]
Will Smith and Max Muncy each hit home runs in the seventh inning, and Yoshinobu Yamamoto went deep as well in the Dodgers’ 5-1 win over the Blue Jays in Game 2 of the World Series on Saturday night at Rogers Centre in Toronto. The Fall Classic is now tied at one game apiece, making […]

The World Series shifts to Dodger Stadium with both the Dodgers and Blue Jays flying to Los Angeles after Saturday night’s Game 2 in Toronto. At least two, and likely three games will be played at Dodger Stadium, and the pitching matchups have been set for Games 3 and 4. Tyler Glasnow starts for the […]
Tommy Edman’s sprained right ankle has limited him for long stretches this season, which has essentially limited him to second base this postseason. That removes an option for center field, which has been occupied all October by a struggling Andy Pages. Edman’s ability to play both the middle infield and center field was a huge […]
The Dodgers will try to get their offense going in Game 2 of the World Series against the Blue Jays, using the same lineup and same batting order on Saturday night at Rogers Centre in Toronto. It’s the sixth consecutive game for the Dodgers with the same starting nine position players. In nine games after […]
Winning a World Series title is hard, irrespective of how much better you might be than most, if not all of the competition. Winning one in a seamless fashion is an unrealistic goal and a bit disrespectful to the nature of the postseason in baseball. The Dodgers lost Game 1 of the World Series, and […]
The script for how a particular game could go south for the Los Angeles Dodgers was followed to a tee in this blowout Blue Jays win to open the World Series. Much was made of the battle between elite swing-and-miss stuff from the Dodgers starter and a contact-oriented approach from the Blue Jays lineup. Contact […]
The Dodgers lost a clunker to the Blue Jays in Game 1 of the World Series on Friday night, thanks to a nine-run sixth inning that turned the opener into a laugher. Blake Snell allowed the first three runs of the inning, leaving after not retiring any of his three batters faced in the sixth, […]
The Dodgers have won the National League pennant for a second year in a row, dispatching the Milwaukee Brewers in four games in the NLCS. That earned Los Angeles a return trip to the World Series, which will begin on Friday, October 24. In the American League Championship Series, the Toronto Blue Jays won the […]
The Dodgers allowed nine runs in the sixth inning to turn a close Game 1 into a Blue Jays rout on Friday night. On Saturday in Game 2, Los Angeles will try to leave Rogers Centre in Toronto with a split. Yoshinobu Yamamoto was the rock of the Dodgers pitching staff this season, the only […]
The Dodgers got back to the World Series by riding a starting rotation on an otherworldly run this month. That earned Blake Snell extra rope in Game 1 but he tripped on it, and the Blue Jays pounced in a nine-run sixth inning in an 11-4 blowout on Friday night at Rogers Centre in Toronto, […]
Let’s keep the Game 1 discussion going here. World Series Game 1 info
The final round is upon us. REMINDER: there will be another overflow game thread going up at 6:56 p.m. PT. World Series Game 1 info
The Dodgers have settled into a fairly regular lineup, especially with no more opposing left-handed starters to face. Their lineup in Game 1 of the World Series against the Blue Jays on Friday night at Rogers Centre in Toronto features the same starting nine players for a fifth straight game. Shohei Ohtani leads off, which […]
Second verse, same as the first. (Hopefully). Tonight, the Los Angeles Dodgers look to finish what they started, defending their World Series title from 2024. They will face the Toronto Blue Jays in what is shaping up to be a battle of the most annoying cliches and narratives. USA vs. Canada. Good vs Evil. David […]
Louisville Slugger announced the “finalists” for 2025 Silver Slugger Award, which is a fancy way of saying they unveiled the top three to six players in voting for the best offensive performer at each position. The voting is already complete, selected by managers and up to three coaches on each major league team. There is […]
The stage is set. In a matchup that represents teams from two different countries, the 2025 World Series will feature the defending champion Dodgers against the Toronto Blue Jays, a team that clinched their first World Series appearance in 32 years. The Dodgers were the overwhelming favorite against the Cincinnati Reds in the Wild Card […]
LOS ANGELES — Tanner Scott says he’s healthy after missing the last two weeks with an abscess excision. But whether he is added back to the Dodgers roster for the World Series remains to be seen. Scott was removed from the roster with the injury after three games in the Division Series against the Phillies, […]
George Springer’s three-run shot in Game 7 of the ALCS propelled the Blue Jays into a World Series matchup with the Dodgers, making this the fourth time since the start of 2018 that Los Angeles will face an AL East club in the Fall Classic. It’s fitting that, although under very different circumstances, both sides […]
