Dodgers Notes: 6/13/25

By Those Deferred BenchWarmers It was a clash with the Padres that included… just one exciting game. The First game of the series was an epic extra inning clash between the two teams atop the NL West, but the Dodgers punted game two in a laugher, and then quietly took the series in game three.

Dodgers Notes: 6/9/25

By Those Deferred BenchWarmers The Dodgers offense looked anemic to start the weekend, scoring only one run the first 19 innings of the series (and being shut out for the first 17), before cashing in on their opportunities on Sunday. The vibes are much better heading into this week’s tilt with the Padres.

Dodgers Notes: 6/7/25

By Those Deferred BenchWarmers We are just over a third of the way through the season, the first target point that we’ve mentioned numerous times as the first stage of evaluations that Andrew Friedman and company would begin with as they look toward the trade deadline.

Athletics Notes: 6/7/25

By Tim Byrnes It’s a nice end to the worst 21-game stretch in the Athletics 123-year history in MLB.

Athletics Notes: 6/3/2025

By Tim Byrnes Sure, Athletics fans can talk about their hitting protege.

Dodgers Notes: 6/2/25

By Those Deferred BenchWarmers The World series rematch delivered (if you’re a Dodgers fan) as the first game felt very similar to the last time the two teams met in Game 5 last season, and Saturday’s 18-2 record-setting win was filled with good vibes from start to finish. Sunday was forgettable, as the Dodgers looked […]

Dodgers Notes: 5/30/25

By Those Deferred BenchWarmers The Dodgers are essentially halfway through their toughest stretch of the season and have a .500 record through it (although it does not let up after the New York teams visit LA: the Dodgers will travel to St. Louis and San Diego before returning home to face the Giants and Padres).

Athletics Notes: 5/27/25

By Tim Byrnes Changes had to be made! After being within a game of the AL West lead, the Athletics lost 2-of-3 against the Yankees and the last two games in L.A. versus the Dodgers. They continued to implode, being swept in a three-game set in San Francisco and losing all four games against the […]

Dodgers Notes: 5/26/25

By Those Deferred BenchWarmers The Dodgers looked bad on offense for the second consecutive series, as the top 3 struggled to get anything going outside of the first inning of game 3. The Dodger pitching did as well as expected, but the Mets looked like the team that wanted it more.

Dodgers Notes: 5/19/2025

By Those Deferred BenchWarmers We say this knowing we Dodger fans have been spoiled, but was this the most depressing weekend in recent memory? Not only did the Dodgers get swept by the JV team from the OC, Kersahw’s return was a disappointment and Chris Taylor was DFA’d in one of the more uncreative moves […]
