The Padres Made Another Highlight With A Walk-Off Walk Against The Dodgers
If you’re a Padres fan, these are the moments you live for: Self-immolation by a Dodgers pitcher that leads to a walk-off 11th-inning win. This canny piece of non-hitting came late Saturday and includes all the drama of a game-winning hit but with the hold-yer-breath matador’s flourish that Yangervi...
Clayton Kershaw Is An Apex Predator
Los Angeles Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw is on one of those runs that has baseball writers banging down the door of Elias Sports and plumbing the depths of Baseball Reference, all in an attempt to put whatever the hell it is he’s doing in context. Kershaw struck out 11 Angels in eight innings last ni...
Vin Scully Can Make Even Dirt Interesting
I took a class about soil in college and the professor would always get mad if anyone called it dirt, but I think she’d make an exception for Vin Scully here, who wove an entertaining little yarn about how the Washington Senators would bring their own dirt to ballgames 100 years ago....
Vin Scully Talks Beards For Five Minutes
Longtime Dodgers announcer Vin Scully is going all out during his final stint in the booth. The season’s only a month old, and we’ve already had two great episodes of Storytime With Vin Scully. Two weeks ago, he debunked the myths surrounding the number 13, and this weekend he gave us the entire his...
Jose Fernandez Was Delighted By This Kenta Maeda Pitch That Fooled Him
Kenta Maeda has spent his first season on this side of the Pacific confounding hitters and even socking the odd dinger. Tonight, he did it again, hoodwinking Jose Fernandez into chasing this pitch way up in the zone. Fernandez was so charmed by Maeda’s pitch that he couldn’t keep from laughing all t...
Giancarlo Stanton Dinger Sends Clayton Kershaw To His Knees
Clayton Kershaw made Giancarlo Stanton swing and miss with a nasty little curve in the fourth inning to get his seventh strikeout of the evening. Two innings later, Stanton faced Kershaw again and smacked a fastball to the moon so hard that the Dodgers ace fell to his knees on the mound....
Rookie Kenta Maeda, Japan's Curse Upon MLB Hitters, Is The Damn Truth
The Dodgers rolled into Denver and beat the Rockies on Saturday 4-1, which itself is fairly humdrum. More impressive was how L.A.’s winning rookie pitcher, Kenta Maeda, a 28-year-old right-hander who spent seven outstanding years as a pro in Japan, took a no-hitter into the sixth. He then gave up th...
Clayton Kershaw Throws Weird Pitch
Does this Clayton Kershaw pitch from today’s game even count as an eephus? It seems more like the Dodgers pitcher forgot that Tyler Flowers was already at the plate, or maybe Kershaw didn’t set himself properly on the mound and had to follow through so he didn’t hurt anything. Whatever the reason, t...
Vin Scully Patiently Explains Why 13 Isn't An Unlucky Number
It’s storytime with Vin Scully, who is calling his 67th and final Dodgers season. His train of thought directed by an RBI single by Arizona’s Nick Ahmed, who wears uniform No. 13, Scully launched into a recitation of just how much the number 13 means to this great nation—with brief interrupts to cal...
Yasiel Puig's Got Moves On The Basepath
The Dodgers opened up Dodger Stadium for the season with a 4-2 loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks and their weird new road uniforms (Rob Lowe is not a fan). L.A. had a slim lead for most of the game but Arizona came back at the end and scored all their runs after Kenta Maeda sat down. Yasiel Puig did,...
Madison Bumgarner Remains Unimpressed By Clayton Kershaw
It’s been clear for a while that the San Francisco Giants have something on their hands with Madison Bumgarner. The promising native of Hickory, N.C. hit for a .470 slugging percentage in limited action two years ago at age 24, and followed on with a .468 mark last season, the highlight of the year ...
Yasiel Puig Hit This Season's First Little League Inside-The-Park Home Run
I feel bad for the Padres fans who went to watch their team host the Dodgers yesterday, only to watch horrified as their Southern California rivals whipped the everliving shit out of their team in front of masses of visiting fans. It was an altogether embarrassing 15-0 drubbing, in which Clayton Ker...
Clayton Kershaw Posed For Pictures With The People Who Rear-Ended Him
Dodgers pitcher Clayton Kershaw seems like a nice guy. I say that because if I were a famous baseball player, I don’t think I’d be in the mood to snap some pics with two fans right after they slammed into the back of my car....
Report: Chase Utley Won't Be Suspended For Breaking Ruben Tejada's Leg After All
Chase Utley lit into New York’s Ruben Tejada something serious in last year’s NLDS, breaking the shortstop’s leg and igniting a whole debate about whether or not MLB can or even should suspend players who go too far trying to break up double plays. They initially suspended him from Games 3 and 4 of ...

Why Prosecutors Didn't Bring Charges Against Aroldis Chapman
Prosecutors have declined to bring charges against now-Yankees pitcher Aroldis Chapman for his actions the night he was accused of choking his girlfriend and firing eight gunshots inside his garage, the Broward State Attorney’s Office announced today. The office also released a closeout memo, writte...
