Baseball Is…Back? What It Means for the Dodgers

Comments Off on Baseball Is…Back? What It Means for the Dodgers
74

60. That is the magic number for all 30 teams right now. That number used to be a significant number to achieve for home runs in a monster season. Now, it’s all that separates a mediocre team or a star-studded one from capping the season with a dogpile on the field after the final out has been made. But, is …

While there may not be any actual baseball played on the field right now, the first round of the Major League Baseball Draft took place on Wednesday, June 10th. The Los Angeles Dodgers did not have a high draft pick, but what they did with their 29th pick of the draft is grab value. Six foot five and upper 90’s …

In 1995, the baseball world experienced a phenomena. While it may never have hit Fernandomania levels from the 1981 season, it was still quite the ride. Hideo Nomo became the fist major Japanese star baseball player to permanently relocate to the U.S. and Major League Baseball. He is credited with opening the door for all the Asian born players to …

I remember watching sports as a kid, specifically baseball and football, and would hear an announcer every now and then say, “Hey, now that is a football/baseball name.” It’s been years since I have heard that phrase, but I think there is some truth to it. There are some names that were just made to be said during a baseball …

This week I spotlight a former Dodgers great, who stands alone atop a club record list not many would be able to guess. Let’s start from the beginning. Eric Karros went to high school in Southern California, attended college at UCLA, and was drafted in the World Series year of 1988 by the Los Angeles Dodgers. It took six rounds …

In what should have been the first day of the season, this all-star squad the Los Angeles Dodgers have put together, a day when all Dodgers fans could start their redemption season, they again must feel cheated. Not by the banging of a trashcan, or electronic buzzers, maybe, video thievery, or by a Howie Kendrick grand slam off Clayton Kershaw, …

The pop of the mitt. The sound of mowers cutting down excess growth. The chatter from dugouts and the stands are back, but it’s also accompanied by more “boo’s” than has ever been heard on the spring training fields. Current hit batsman count is seven players, at the time of this writing, that all wear Houston Astros jerseys. That is …

Well, it took almost the entire offseason for the Los Angeles Dodgers to make a splash with their roster. Mookie Betts is on his way to southern California, baring any slim chance of a breakdown in the deal – the prospect going from the Minnesota Twins, has had some issues with his medical clearance. Either way, it just may be …

We are less than two weeks until pitchers and catchers report, and there is a lot to unpack, and still possible transactions – can you say, Mookie Betts? – to be made. This time last year, Bryce Harper was playing the long game and still not close to sniffing the pine tar. Looking at the landscape of the league, and …

The city of Houston has endured quite a stressful week. The Houston Astros were disciplined harshly for their cheating in the 2017 season, including the World Series against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Following that news, the Boston Red Sox were also tagged with the “cheaters” label after the investigation showed they also used technology to steal signs from opposing clubs, …
