Joe Maddon Works Soda Tax Criticism Into His Thoughts On Blocking The Plate
In the bottom of the seventh inning of last night’s NLCS Game 1, with the Dodgers leading 4-2, Justin Turner singled through the left side and Chris Woodward, the Dodgers’ third-base coach, waved Charlie Culberson around, setting up a play at the plate....

The Dodgers Are Going To The NLCS, But The Diamondbacks Made Sure That They Can't Go Swimming
The Dodgers completed their three-game sweep of the Diamondbacks tonight with a 3-1 victory, supported by a strong start from Yu Darvish and some offense from Cody Bellinger. The best regular-season team in baseball has also been the one to carve the smoothest path through the playoffs so far, as th...
Good Lord, Cody Bellinger
It’s been a pretty good night for Dodgers rookie Cody Bellinger. In the top of the fifth inning, he did this: ...

You’ve come back just in time for the best month of the year, as all the highest-stakes games with top-quality talent begin. Here’s a guide to the NL players you need to pay attention to as the po...
Dodgers Finally Manage To End Nightmarish Losing Streak
A little less than three weeks ago, the Dodgers were 91-36, generating plenty of conversation on how close they might get to being historically great and whether they could possibly lay claim to being the best team ever. Entering today, they were 92-52, mired in an 11-game losing streak in which the...

Dodgers And Giants Delay Game, Have One At-Bat, Delay For Nearly Three Hours More, Finally Decide To Play
The Dodgers are having a miserable three weeks. The Giants are having a miserable year. Tonight, together, they had a fairly miserable evening....
The Dodgers Are Hobbling And It Doesn't Really Matter
Every great baseball team hits a skid at some point or another; the season is too long and too taxing for even the best teams not to. Even the 1998 Yankees, probably the greatest team of all time, spent the first three weeks of September struggling to put together two wins in a row; two years later ...
The Dodgers Should Probably Be Afraid Of The Diamondbacks
When the Diamondbacks shipped three prospects to Detroit for J.D. Martinez, it was that most classic of deadline deals: the rental slugger. Martinez is a free agent after the season, but for the D-backs he’s a big bat in the lineup for a very good, playoff-bound team that believed it needed only a c...
Look At Rich Hill's Face
One of the best things about baseball is that every game brings the chance to see something that has never happened before during the 100-plus years that the game has been played professionally in this country. This also means that each game brings a chance to see a player get tortured in new and in...
Poor, Poor, Poor Rich Hill
Since making his weird and improbable return to major league baseball at age 35 in the second half of 2015, Rich Hill has been almost singularly enjoyable to watch when he’s a) in a groove and b) without a blister. He hasn’t had many outings like that lately, but when he has them, his curveball is b...
The Mets Are Certainly Getting Less Expensive
The Dodgers, already comprehensively better than every other team in baseball, today gave up cash and a player to be named later for Curtis Granderson of the Mets....
Tough Baseball Man Takes Fastball To The Throat And Stays In The Game

The Dodgers’ Rally Granny is funny (“I tell everybody that I supplement my Social Security with pole dancing”) and she knows her own worth (“Can they put an image of me on there without my permission?” she asks of a t-shirt being sold with her picture on it). This Los Angeles Times profile of her is...
The Los Angeles Dodgers Are Horrifying
The Los Angeles Dodgers are 46 games above .500 in early August, on pace for a 114-win season, and recently added Yu Darvish, who in his Dodgers debut struck out 10 and gave up only three hits in seven shutout innings against the Mets. It’s disgusting....
Yu Darvish Is A Dodger
Just when baseball’s deadline day looked to be a lot of hype with little payoff, we got an after-the-buzzer Rose-bomb:...
