He’s been fantastic, and we need to appreciate him while he’s here
Kenley Jansen is the greatest closer in Dodgers history. I’m not sure how long Dodgers baseball will be around after my time here is finished, but it’s safe to say he’ll remain the greatest closer in Dodgers history.
At the moment, he’s likely a borderline Hall-of-Famer, but he might just miss out. Who knows, there’s a solid chance he can get in and his number No. 74...

Roberts has the best win record in baseball history as manager, plus the Dodgers finally have 5 starting pitchers again.
An interesting phenomenon surrounds Dave Roberts, the winningest manager in baseball. Namely, the armchair managers are much louder. When something goes wrong in baseball, it’s easy to blame the manager. The manager...

LA’s 14 hits are their most since August 15.
Offense was peppered throughout the night, finishing off a three-course sweep of the Diamondbacks, the final decision a 5-3 Dodgers win on Wednesday night at Dodger Stadium.
The win moved the Dodgers to within a game and a half of the Giants in the National League West.
The Dodgers scored in different ways. Sometimes it was via power, like with Max Muncy’s home run in the fifth inning, his 34th of the...
The Dodgers and Giants are both in the MLB playoffs. They were the first two teams to clinch postseason berths in 2021. One of them will win the National League West, and the other will host the NL wild card game.
Here’s what it takes for the Dodgers to either win or lose the division:
Magic number to clinch NL West: 18From the Dodgers’ perspective, the magic number is a combination of LA wins and San Francisco losses. The elimination number is a...

After fighting for weeks to shake off a left forearm injury, Los Angeles Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw finally made his return to the mound on Monday. Kershaw allowed one run over 4.1 innings in a no-decision on Monday against the Arizona Diamondbacks.
There are now two teams in the 2021 Major League Baseball playoffs, and both teams are in the National League West. On Tuesday, the Los Angeles Dodgers joined the San Francisco Giants after beating the Arizona Diamondbacks 8-4.

Today is the 20th annual Roberto Clemente Day league-wide, honoring the Pittsburgh Pirates right fielder’s life and commitment to philanthropy. Clemente played for 18 seasons with the Pirates until tragically losing his life in a plane crash delivering supplies to earthquake victims in Nicaragua in 1972. Clemente’s on-field achievements were so vast (13 time All-Star, NL MVP, 12 time consecutive Gold Glove winner, and the list goes on), that the...

The Dodgers have bigger goals in mind, but for now they know they will play at least one postseason game in 2021. On Tuesday they clinched a playoff berth with a win over the Diamondbacks at Dodger Stadium.
That gave the Dodgers 93 wins on a night the Reds and Padres — the next-best teams on the outside of playoff position — each picked up their 70th loss.
It’s the ninth consecutive season the Dodgers are in the playoffs.

LA clinches a 9th straight postseason berth
The Dodgers beat the Diamondbacks on Tuesday night, just like they were expected to. The 8-4 win at Dodger Stadium pushed Los Angeles to 13-2 against hapless Arizona this season, outscoring them 110-41. The Diamondbacks are a team who have now lost 21 of its last 24 games on the road against the Dodgers dating back to 2018, so this result was the norm.

An insurmountable lead? Dodgers still need to take care of business 2.5 GB
As the Arizona Diamondbacks are at Dodger Stadium for the last time in the 2021 season, they’ll play the second of three on Tuesday night against the Dodgers.
It’s been a disappointing campaign for the D-Backs but they’ll look to spoil the Dodgers chances of catching up with the Giants sending Luke Weaver to the mound to square off against Tony Gonsolin.
