Given the way last year played out, it’s easy to understand why the Dodgers are approaching the season that way. The left-hander has more than 100 starts in his MLB career, and though he will open the season in the bullpen, the Dodgers plan to keep him stretched out to around four innings. Either way, for the Dodgers to be anywhere near their best, they probably need Bellinger to at least somewhat bounce back. How do you see the Dodgers using the DH position this year? To be a well-rounded, knowledgeable Dodgers fan, it’s important to listen to a variety of voices about the team.

Major League Baseball has undergone a stark change in how to approach the plate, but a high-average hitter never goes out of style. Last season, the batting ...

The switch-hitting Marte soared to a .329 average, missing out on the NL batting title by a preposterously small margin. Soto claimed the NL batting crown in 2020, hitting .351 during his 47 appearances of the shortened season. Pointing only to his quickness would be foolish, though; Turner ranked in the 77th percentile of hard-hit balls last season. This time around, however, the outfielder will attempt to avoid repeating what happened in his first post-MVP campaign. He had a bounce-back season and .319 average in 2017. Through the first four seasons of his MLB career, Ketel Marte was simply a fine player. During each of the last four seasons, Merrifield has collected a top-three mark in hits among AL players. Last season, the utilityman dealt with a concussion, shoulder issue and knee injury. Last season, the batting titles went to a couple of first-time winners. One reasonable concern in Bichette's chase for a batting title is his propensity to start chasing pitches in two-strike counts. After notching a .301 mark during the shortened 2020 campaign, he smacked an AL-high 191 hits with a .298 average last season. Has any player been mentioned in more trade rumors than Whit Merrifield over the last half-decade?

The Los Angeles Dodgers hired Ned Colletti as their general manager in 2005 and he has been with the organization ever since, all the while becoming a key ...

Many would argue that one of Colletti’s best moves was signing Turner to a Minor League contract in 2014 after he was non-tendered by the New York Mets and became a free agent. Colletti also began to work at Pepperdine University as an executive in residence for the sports administration. He also has served as a scout for the NHL’s San Jose Sharks since 2019.

Ned Colletti announced that he'll no longer be working in baseball in a professional capacity.

For Ned, that was continually refusing to trade a young pitcher named Clayton Kershaw that he had drafted in the first round of the 2006 draft. The González and Ramirez trades weren't Colletti's transactions that helped make the Dodgers a better ball club. Yesterday, the former general manager announced that he is officially stepping away from the sport of baseball in a professional capacity.

Since 1979, Don Sutton has been the Dodgers' King of Ks. That season, Sutton passed Hall of Famer Don Drysdale for the Dodgers' career strikeout mark.

Dave Roberts will become the sixth Dodger manager all time to manage 1,000 games with the club. He is also near quadruple digits with 941 career RBI and 961 runs. Last season, Trea led the Majors with 195 hits. Sutton owns the all-time Dodger wins record with 233. He enters 2022 with 185 career wins. Kershaw enters the 2022 season 26 strikeouts behind Sutton’s Dodger career strikeout record of 2,696.

For now, the Dodgers have settled on Tony Gonsolin in the four-spot with Andrew Heaney rounding out the rotation. The Dodgers like some teams, took the opportunity to add a bunch of extra arms to their Opening Day roster. The Dodgers and Rockies will start their respective seasons at 1:10 PST today.

Two reasons why an LA Dodgers pitcher not named Clayton Kershaw or Walker Buehler will win the 2022 NL Cy Young Award.

And if he lowers the hard-hit percentage, Urias could be flat-out dominant for the Dodgers in 2022. While opponents are gearing up to face Clayton Kershaw and Walker Buehler, their gameplans could be lacking when Urias takes the mound. In 2020, Urias returned to the rotation and made 10 starts in 11 total outings. His strong performance led to a seventh place finish in NL Cy Young voting. But Julio Urias emerged as a Cy Young caliber starting pitcher for the Dodgers in 2021. I understand that is a lot of numbers. But one might argue that they are close. To summarize, when batters put the ball in play, they were typically producing ground balls. And there were questions about his role in 2019 when he pitched in 37 games, but only made 8 starts. Their offense is amongst the best in baseball, if not the very best in the MLB. However, their pitching has been described as the weakest link. But from 2017-2018, Urias pitched in a total of just 8 big league games. But this Dodger rotation features stars such as Walker Buehler and Clayton Kershaw. There is still a very strong chance that the NL Cy Young award winner emerges from Los Angeles. However, there are two reasons why a certain Dodgers’ hurler not named Walker Buehler or Clayton Kershaw will win the NL Cy Young award in 2022.

Dodgers pitcher Clayton Kershaw will make his first start of 2022 on Wednesday. The extra time should let him build up to almost normal strength.

“But it was just something, that kind of flare up, we just wanted to take a step back. “So now for him to go five [innings] and 75 [pitches], to then go into his first start, gives us a better chance not only that day, but also days following with him and managing the bullpen. “The days following, it dissipated,” Roberts said of González’s elbow discomfort. “So he’s in a really good spot.” The decision made it possible for Kershaw to face batters during a team workout Thursday, throwing five innings and 75 pitches. However, he was able to get caught up during spring training.

The Dodgers are looking to open the season with a road win against the Colorado Rockies at Coors Field. Follow along for live updates and analysis.

Kimbrel then struck out Kris Bryant on three pitches to end the game. Kimbrel trade bolsters Dodgers’ pitching, balances the roster Colorado’s Charlie Blackmon hit a run-scoring double down the right-field line off Kimbrel to score Elias Diaz, who reached base on a one-out double off the center field wall.

Giants shortstop Brandon Crawford responded to Dave Roberts' bold prediction that the Dodgers would win the World Series.

Roberts and the Dodgers do boast a strong recent track record of playoff success. I’m not going to sit here and say that we are going to win the World Series, but that is our goal at the end of the year.” Predictably, Roberts' comments made the rounds.

Wilson took the mound wearing a Rockies jersey with No. 3 on the back. “To get off to a good start for our team is the biggest thing," Buehler said. The All-Star righty is coming off a 16-4 season where he finished fourth in the NL Cy Young voting. Colorado’s big offseason acquisition, Kris Bryant, had a double and a walk but struck out against Craig Kimbrel with a runner on to end the game. “It was a beautiful moment," Iglesias said after the Dodgers beat the Rockies 5-3 Friday in a season opener. Freeman started his Dodgers tenure with a solid day — and a win.

DENVER -- The Dodgers enter the 2022 season with hefty expectations. They're no longer the defending champions, a title they wore all of last season.

The Dodgers were held quiet for most of the game. Following Lux, Mookie Betts gave the Dodgers the lead with an RBI double. “For him to continue to take good at-bats shows the growth. In the fourth, the Dodgers showed off their firepower and ability to strike quickly. Will Smith and Taylor got the rally going with a one-out single and double, respectively. But on Friday, all the attention was on the lineup that carried all the hype during the spring.

The deep Dodgers lineup came alive with a five-run fourth inning to beat the Rockies on opening day at Coors Field.

Colorado got to Buehler with three hits bunched together in the second inning, all with two strikes, to score a pair of runs. It wasn’t quite a home run that turned into a single, but there was still an opening day oddity at Coors Field. Remember the new umpire announcements to MLB crowds for replay reviews? Freeland was cruising, but his second time through the batting order showed the strength and depth of the Dodgers lineup. The Dodgers could not cash in that gift in the first inning, and had all sorts of trouble because Kyle Freeland kept striking people out. This was the polar opposite of last year’s first game, which was also at Coors Field, when Cody Bellinger’s first home run of the season instead turned into a single. The Dodgers’ No. 9 hitter on Friday, Gavin Lux, reached base three times, driving in two tying runs and scoring the go-ahead run with an adventurous roll into home plate.
