These are the games that are fun in their meaninglessness. The roster has expanded. The permutations for lineups are amazing. But why should we let Don Mattingly have all the fun in trying to come up with the craziest, but still playable, lineups for the last three games of the season. Mike Petriello over at […]
After the amazing offensive output by this Dodgers team over the last three games, I have to pinch myself to see if I’m dreaming. Well, this week, I’m probably just Rocky Mountain High. I’ve come to dread these series in Denver. They usually have some sort of tragedy unfold – Kemp smashing into walls, Puig […]
(Originally posted on The Social Clymer) I’ve been watching so much baseball this year, especially my beloved Dodgers. It seems every night, there’s a conversation happening online about the players’ walk-up music. This year, the Dodgers have really out done themselves with their music choices: 1. The most talked about walk-up has been Matt Kemp’s […]
After the heartbreaking – no, SOUL CRUSHING – defeat against the Nats on Wednesday night, the Dodger Social gang took a step back. In the midst of an up and down season, there’s been one consistent source of hope: the Arizona Diamondbacks. The Dodgers have played them consistently well this year. Might be some sort […]
Note: I hadn’t planned on covering tonight’s game until I saw that Joc was starting. Glad to see his first MLB hit. Sad I had to see it on a Nats broadcast. Now, I’m going to bed! This is the game so many fans have been waiting to see: Joc Pederson in the starting lineup. […]
In news that is sweeping social media, Dodgers call up Joc Pederson will start tonight in center field to give slumping Yasiel Puig a night off. According to a tweet from @jphoornstra, Don Mattingly asserts that Pederson is the best true center fielder on the Dodger squad. Mattingly said he wanted Pederson in the lineup […]
Post game note: Another painful game to watch, but made worthwhile by the intense drama in the bottom of the ninth. I really enjoyed watching Joc Pederson’s final at bat and wasn’t overly disappointed at the result. Good lessons learned, but I like the way he stood in there. In my house there is one […]
The big news today is not the show of offense last night or the pending visit of the NL East leading Nationals. The big news right now is the expansion of rosters for the stretch run. This is welcome news to a lot of Dodger fans. With the bullpen struggling and key hitters slumping, it’s […]
POST GAME NOTE: Question answered. This is the question I keep asking myself. Is this team really good enough to win it all? Their record seems to suggest that they are. But, when I watch them play, I certainly have some doubts. Tonight is one of those nights that I’d like to see an answer […]
Can you really call it a sweep if it’s only two games? Well, I will anyway. Tonight the Dodgers take the field with a strange-ish lineup. Rojas at third. Turner at first. Van Slyke out in LF. Here’s hoping they can give Clayton the run support he deserves. Here’s what you have to say about […]
