It was a short trip down the 5 Freeway to Anaheim to start the nine-game road trip, but the Dodgers had to battle on without Blake Snell in the series opener. The bullpen and the offense stepped up to shut down the Angels in the series opener Friday with a 6-0 win. The Dodgers used […]
The Dodgers and Angels continue their weekend series at Angel Stadium in Anaheim with a Saturday matchup with two pitchers who got off to incredible starts this season. Justin Wrobleski made one bulk relief appearance before stepping into the Dodgers rotation, then won his first five starts while allowing two total runs. Even after his […]
The Dodgers (26-18) travel to Orange County Friday evening to battle the Angels (16-28) for a three-game series at Angel Stadium. Blake Snell was scratched before his scheduled start and is going on the injured list due to loose bodies in his left elbow. The Dodgers will go with a bullpen game in the series […]
It’s Rivalry Weekend or whatever — 15 matchups that I guess link two teams that are supposed to be rivals together. Sometimes, this is inherently fun, like when the teams in question are basically co-located and it’s a battle-for-the-jurisdiction of sorts (Mets-Yankees, Cubs-White Sox, and I guess even Angels-Dodgers, sorta). Sometimes, it’s a bit weirder, […]
Happy Friday, everyone! Hopefully, it’s been a good week, and you’re set to enjoy your weekend. To ease you into the final day of the week, we’ve got an assortment of baseball news for you to enjoy. We’re taking a look at the early discussions regarding the CBA and a potential salary cap, the new […]
Had things gone according to plan, Friday would be Blake Snell’s 2026 debut with the Dodgers, who open a series against the Angels on Friday night at Angel Stadium in Anaheim. But instead this will be Snell’s second start of the season. After back spasms sidelined Tyler Glasnow a week ago, the Dodgers approached Snell […]
As we saw when the Angels had literally Shohei Ohtani and Mike Trout at the same time and couldn’t sniff the playoffs, you need more than just a couple stars to make a good roster in baseball. The “Murderers’ Row” Yankees of the 1920s and ‘30s are a good example. Yes, they had the likes […]
LOS ANGELES — The Dodgers on Tuesday announced the details of their annual LGBTQ+ Pride Night, which will be held on Friday, June 5 for the opener of a weekend series against the Angels. Among the highlights is the unveiling a permanent display in the center field plaza at Dodger Stadium for Glenn Burke and […]
The New York Mets (15-25) return home to welcome the Detroit Tigers (19-22) for a three-game series, beginning tonight. The nightmare that has been the 2026 season got a brief respite when the Mets took two series in a row from the Angels and Rockies, but the mirage faded when the Diamondbacks took two of […]
The White Sox had a week that could very well be described as average, as they did in fact go 3-3. A closer look of the lost series to the Angels and the series victory against the Mariners will tell you a story of midweek missed opportunity capped on either end with quite the dominant […]
About seven or eight years ago, there was an established adage/joke among baseball fans, and it went something like this: the MLB season doesn’t officially start until Mike Trout leads the league in Wins Above Replacement. At the time, Trout was the undisputed best player in the league, and eventually other players’ hot starts would […]
Angels 6 Blue Jays 1 Well that was awful. The Jays got a run in the first and then didn’t get another base runner until the eighth. They did load the bases in the eighth, but Vlad ground out softly to third to end the chance We had five hits on the day. Daulton Varsho […]
Passing the quarter post on the racetrack of the season. And Addison Barger, is out of the lineup with a ‘sore elbow’. That was an amazing throw, but maybe not the best move in his first day back. Addison was to lead off today, but now it is Ernie Clement. I’m a fan of lead […]
For the second day in a row, the Yankees played a somewhat frustrating game in Milwaukee. They did better offensively on Saturday, but the three runs didn’t end up being enough, as the Brewers rallied twice before walking it off in the 10th inning. With the Yankees facing a speed bump after a hot run […]
Angels 1 Blue Jays 14 The only inning that really mattered was the fifth. The Jays scored seven runs in the bottom of the inning and that was more than enough. But the Jays added six more runs in the seventh and eighth. Trey Yesavage was good enough, for four innings. He allowed four hits, […]
Building on a one-game winning streak. And Addison Barger is back (with Piñango the casualty). It was a weird spot….we are hip deep in lefty hitters, but then picking someone who isn’t hitting at all, just because he swings from the right side seems silly. The Lineups: Today’s Lineups ANGELS BLUE JAYS Zach Neto – […]
We have the first of three games with the Angels tonight. And we don’t have Addison Barger yet, I thought he was to join the team today, but not they are saying tomorrow. And it appears Jose Berrios will be a little while longer. They say there were changes in his latest MRI, well, inflammation, […]
The Cubs met up with an AL West team in their second series of 2026 and took two of three from an Angels club that has fallen into the basement in their division. This weekend they’ll visit another AL West team, the Rangers. For more on the Rangers, here’s Adam Morris, manager of our SB […]
Happy Friday. The Jays are back home for a series against the Angels. It almost can’t be worse than the last series. I think the team has let Tropicana Field get into their heads. Maybe all the batters should move back in the batter’s box: Petriello talks about it here. There is talk about having […]
For a minute there in the top of the second when the Good Guys got on the board first, it felt like they might actually take the series. Then the bottom of the second inning happened, and poof, the vibes from the past couple of weeks packed up and left the building. Chicago dropped the […]
The White Sox are back in the saddle this afternoon with a rubber match on tap against the Angels. The South Siders get a shot to prove this little hot streak isn’t just a mirage. They’ve won their last two series, and a victory today would make it three straight. They also have six wins […]
The White Sox (17-19) fought to the very end, but the bats were inconsistent with runners in scoring position, and the Angels (14-23) knocked Erick Fedde around as the Good Guys dropped game two of their LA road trip, 4-3. Now just two games under, the South Siders are hopefully just taking the scenic route […]
Thomas Harding of MLB.com is reporting that the Colorado Rockies have signed RHP Jordan Romano to a minor-league contract. On April 26, the Los Angeles Angels designated Romano for assignment; on April 27, he was released. The Angels must still pay the remainder of is $2 million salary with the Rockies only responsible for the […]
After a convincing shutout win behind Davis Martin to open up the series in Los Angeles, the White Sox have a chance to bring their record to .500 with another W tonight. The overall vibe with this team, who is playing like they have nothing to lose and everything to gain, has been contagious across […]
The Force was strong with the White Sox tonight as they shut out the Angels with a 6-0 win. Davis Martin reached a career-high double-digit strikeout milestone, and Munetaka Murakami finally doubled! José Soriano started off the night with back-to-back walks, but redeemed himself with back-to-back strikeouts. But Soriano’s woes could not be escaped for […]
