Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said yesterday that it’s not feasible for Rich Hill to return from injury in time to become a starting pitcher in the playoffs. Dave Roberts said today that it is not feasible for Rich Hill to build back up as a starter this season. With Ross Stripling in the same boat, […] More
On Sunday, the Dodgers optioned right-handed reliever Casey Sadler to make room on the active roster for Hyun-Jin Ryu. There has been a lot of skepticism regarding the decision since he has been one of their more reliable bullpen arms since being acquired. In 12 1/3 innings for the Dodgers, Sadler has allowed one earned […] More
Kenta Maeda ended a long skid of tough starts on Saturday night by throwing 7 shutout innings to help give the Los Angeles Dodgers a win. Still, his status for the October playoff roster is up in the air until the Dodgers proclaim one way or another what his role will be. Now, Dave Roberts […] More
The Dodgers were able to bounce back from last night’s disappointing extra-innings loss and defeat the Diamondbacks 4-0. Max Muncy got the offense going, veteran catcher Russell Martin chipped in with 2 hits and an RBI, but Kenta Maeda stole the show with his 7 inning shutout of the Diamondbacks. He allowed only 4 base […] More
On Sunday afternoon at Dodger Stadium, Kenta Maeda was cruising for the Dodgers. That is until he wasn’t. After holding the Padre offense scoreless through the first 2 innings, chipping in 2 strikeouts, things unraveled quickly in the third inning. A double, and back to back singles — one after a tough call by the […] More
Last season I wrote about how to build a playoff bullpen. I believe the front office absolutely failed in that mission in 2018. Ryan Madson and John Axford did not overwhelm any of us when they were acquired. Madson did well at the end of September and was good in both the NLDS and the […] More
It’s no secret the Achilles heel of this Los Angeles Dodgers team has been the bullpen. The Dodgers offense has been spectacular at putting up runs, but the relief pitching has managed to erase those leads and have blown 19 save opportunities along the way. With the trade deadline quickly approaching and Wild Card spots […] More
I had some questions around Tuesday night’s Dodgers loss in Philadelphia. Here's my question; if a closer doesn't have it, why can't the manager bring in someone else? For every other reliever they do it. Why is the closer the only untouchable pitcher in the game? — Tim Rogers (SD Dodger) (@SDDodger) July 17, 2019 […] More
Tigers’ ace Matt Boyd is on the trade block. There’s a good chance he is the best player traded by the July 31 deadline and the Dodgers are no strangers to making a splash. After acquiring the best player traded in each of the past three deadlines (Rich Hill in ’16, Yu Darvish in ’17 […] More
The Dodgers have set their post All-Star Break pitching rotation and it is not what you would expect. Pitching probables for #Dodgers #RedSox to start the second half: Fri — RHP Kenta Maeda (7-5, 3.76) vs. LHP Eduardo Rodriguez (9-4, 4.65) Sat — RHP Ross Stripling (3-3, 3.79) vs. LHP Chris Sale (3-8, 4.04) Sun […] More
With the All-Star break upon us, I thought it best to take a look at the overall numbers posted in the first half of the Dodgers season. They paint a picture of a productive, and baseball-leading 60 win team. Team Statistics W/L: 60-32 (.652) (tops in MLB) Runs Scored/Runs Allowed: 480 / 351 Run Differential: […] More
With Rich Hill not even able to pick up a baseball for 3-4 weeks, the Dodgers’ starting pitching will be without him for a least two months. That is assuming there aren’t any setbacks. If, for some awful reason that Hill is not ready for the post-season then Kenta Maeda probably slots in as the […] More
