Chicago Cubs vs. Los Angeles Dodgers preview, Saturday 4/25, 6:15 CT
The Dodgers offense spent most of the last week wasting an incredible stretch by the starting rotation, coupled with a suddenly vulnerable bullpen having their worst week of the season. That fueled five losses over the last seven games, and now the Dodgers on Saturday turn to Roki Sasaki, the black sheep of the rotation […]
There’s something special about this Cubs team. Do you feel it? Utterly dominated by Dodgers right-hander Emmet Sheehan for six innings, trailing 4-0 heading to the seventh, the Cubs cut that to 4-3 thanks in part to a triple (!) by Dansby Swanson. Then an Alex Bregman homer tied the game in the eighth, and […]
Dodgers broadcaster Rick Monday will be honored at the National Baseball Hall of Fame this summer during induction weekend, part of the 50th anniversary celebration of him stopping an American flag from getting burned on the field at Dodger Stadium on April 25, 1976. It’s been quite a baseball life for Monday, who was the […]
The Chicago Cubs (17-9) came into the series against the Dodgers (17-9) red hot having won nine straight games, their longest winning streak in 10 years. The Cubs couldn’t touch Emmet Sheehan in the series opener Friday at Dodger Stadium, but as soon as he came out Chicago pounced on the L.A. bullpen and scored […]
The Dodgers (17-8) return home to take on the red hot Chicago Cubs (16-9) for a three game series starting Friday night at Dodger Stadium. Emmet Sheehan (2-0, 5.58 ERA, 1.40 WHIP) makes his fifth start for the Dodgers. Jameson Taillon (1-1, 3.97 ERA, 1.28 WHIP toes the rubber for the Cubs. Lineups Friday game […]
The Dodgers and Cubs continue their weekend series with another exclusive national broadcast on Saturday afternoon. Saturday is the Dodgers’ first game on Fox this season, which means no SportsNet LA for the series opener. But they will have Joe Davis on the national call, his first of two consecutive Dodgers Saturday telecasts for Fox. […]

Chicago Cubs vs. Los Angeles Dodgers preview, Friday 4/24, 9:15 CT
It was reported after Thursday’s game that the Cubs had acquired Nicky Lopez from the Rockies for cash considerations. As Lopez was on a minor-league deal with Colorado, there was no immediate 26-man or 40-man roster move needed by the Cubs. This afternoon, before Friday’s game against the Dodgers at Los Angeles, the Cubs added […]
The Colorado Rockies (10–16) are back on the road, taking on the New York Mets (9–16), and will look to have a short memory after yesterday’s heart-wrenching loss to the Padres. Yesterday’s 10–8 loss capped a 3–4 homestand that saw the Rockies take two of four from the Los Angeles Dodgers and then nearly take […]
Maybe the Giants won’t have such a bad season? That’s certainly on the table. Not just because they humiliated the Los Angeles Dodgers this week, but because they really have been playing slightly better over the past couple of weeks (8-6 since April 7th). And, yes, that’s because some of the key contributors have started […]
One year ago, the Cubs were on their way to a playoff appearance with an outstanding outfield duo of Pete Crow-Armstrong and Kyle Tucker as two of their biggest contributors. Tucker is now a Dodger, and PCA has had a horrific start to the year, and yet, the Cubs’ offense is not only surviving all […]
The Cubs lost the first two games of 2025 between these two teams in Japan — and then took four of the next five. It’s too bad the Cubs lost their division series to the Brewers, because I think a Cubs/Dodgers NLCS last year would have been awesome. Maybe this October. For this Dodgers series […]
Almost everyone wants to forget the weirdness of the 2020 MLB season. The Dodgers winning a piece of metal after a 60-game season that saw divisions reworked and paper cutouts as fans in the stands was a real clincher to the strange year. Taxi squads and constant COVID tests were the norm, and the St. […]
Stealing eight bases and not getting caught once, the Great Lakes Loons ran all over the Sky Carp in a high-scoring win with both teams combining for 21 runs—meanwhile, the Tulsa Drilers set a new team record. Player of the day While a few candidates emerged on the hitting side of things, the clear choice […]
On Wednesday night, the Dodgers suffered their first shutout loss of the year by falling 3-0 to the San Francisco Giants. On Thursday, the Dodgers returned the favor and shut the Giants out by the exact same final score. Only Luis Arraez could break through Tyler Glasnow on Thursday, as the right-hander dominated through eight […]
April is Autism Awareness and Acceptance month. Learn more here. You might have noticed that current Dodgers outfielder and former Mariner Teoscar Hernández has been sporting some new gear this season: his guards feature rainbow-colored interlocking puzzle pieces, a symbol for autism awareness since 1963. Hernández has been wearing the gear, which the company EvoShield […]
It took three games for the Dodgers to find any semblance of offense in San Francisco, and they managed to beat the Giants best starter to do it, salvaging a game behind a dominant Tyler Glasnow on getaway day Thursday in a 3-0 win at Oracle Park. Glasnow allowed only a single and a walk, […]
Dodgers offense has nowhere to go but up in this series. Thursday game info
The San Francisco Giants wrap up this three-game series against the Los Angeles Dodgers this afternoon from Oracle Park. Taking the mound for the Giants will be right-hander Logan Webb, who enters today’s game with a 5.10 ERA, 3.41 FIP, with 27 strikeouts to 11 walks in 30 innings pitched. His last start was in […]
The excitement for the San Francisco Giants on Wednesday came from the Major League team, which shut out the Los Angeles Dodgers in a thrilling 3-0 affair. But there was excitement on the farm as well, with all four of their Minor League Baseball A-ball affiliates in action. So let’s dive into it. Link to […]
After a seven-game road trip facing National League West teams, the Dodgers are back home to start a weekend series against the Chicago Cubs beginning Friday night at Dodger Stadium. Kyle Tucker will face one of his old teams for the first time since signing with the Dodgers. Emmet Sheehan gets the ball for the […]
After taking a brief respite from batting while pitching last week at home, two days after getting hit by a pitch in his right shoulder, Shohei Ohtani was back to double duty on Wednesday night against the San Francisco Giants at Oracle Park. He pitched six more scoreless innings to lead the National League with […]
Good morning, baseball fans! The San Francisco Giants are in the midst of a three-game series against the Los Angeles Dodgers this week, with the final game being played later today. These posts are pre-written, so I don’t get to be as timely as I might like. But I wanted to touch on a moment […]
