Locked On Dodgers – Daily Podcast On The Los Angeles Dodgers

Gavin Stone surrendered two home runs for the first time this year he did survive 6 innings giving up 9 hits while only striking out 3. Framber Valdez had the Dodgers baffled at the plate striking out 10 part of 15 K's on the night for the Dodgers. They were 1 for 9 w RISP leaving 7 on base. 2 hits for Shohei Ohtani and 2 more for Gavin Lux who continues to swing a hot bat. Dodgers lose  in Houston 5-0 as they have now lost  7 of last 8 on the road.

Clayton Kershaw made his 2024 debut and overall it went pretty well. Kershaw went just four innings but he struck out six, allowed two runs and got a lot of swing-and-miss. Offensively it was the bottom of the order that did the work for the Dodgers, capped off by Nick Ahmed's go-ahead home run in the 8th inning. The bullpen was once again used heavily, a trend that has been going on since the All-Star break ended. What will the Dodgers do this weekend with so many arms being used recently?

Clayton Kershaw started for the first time this season. He seemed to have pretty good command of his off-speed stuff. He would give up 4 consecutive hits in the 3rd but then struck out the side. His day would come to an end after 4 innings, 6 strikeouts and 72 pitches. The Dodgers had the bats working 14 hits in all 7 from the bottom 3 in the line-up Kike Hernandez had 3 and 2 each from Austin Barnes and Nick Ahmed who hit the go ahead home run in the 8th, his first as a Dodger. Shohei Ohtani also went deep in the 8th his 31st , and Gavin Lux stayed hot going 2-3 with 2 runs scored as the Dodgers win the series 3-1 with the 6-4 win.

The Dodgers lost to the Giants on a night in which they got their first run in the 1st inning but their first hit in the 7th inning. The injuries and lack of length from the starting pitching finally caught up to the Dodgers as they fielded a lineup of inconsistency and stuck with Yohan Ramirez in a spot where they wouldn't have with a fully rested bullpen. Miguel Rojas was placed on the IL before the game, Chris Taylor was placed on the IL after the game, and Nick Ahmed was inserted from the street into the starting lineup. Can the Dodgers withstand all the injuries? Also, Kyle Hurt will get Tommy John surgery to add on to the tough year for young Dodgers pitchers and injuries. Lastly, Clayton Kershaw takes the mound for the first time in 2024. What can we expect?

Dodgers scored first with a bases loaded walk but the Giants tied the game on a Matt Chapman Home Run and broke it open in the 8th with 6 runs, 5 of which were charge to Yohan Ramirez who was only able to manage 2 outs. Tyler Glasnow took the loss in his return form the IL going 5 giving up 2 runs on 4 hits while striking out 4.

The Dodgers won their fifth game in a row behind a strong performance from Landon Knack and some big hits from Shohei Ohtani and Gavin Lux. Ohtani came through multiple times for the offense, and Lux continued his resurgence at the plate. Do we believe in Lux fully yet? Also, the Dodgers have officially been linked to Randy Arozarena. Is he a fit for the Dodgers and is there anyone else from the Rays that make sense? Lastly, Ryan Yarbrough's struggles have continued and Brent Honeywell has done well so far. The Dodgers should use Honeywell in a long relief role and also move one of the younger arms to a similar role. What do you think?

Gavin Lux stayed hot with 2 hits including a 2 rbi double in the 1st to get the Dodgers on the board and give Landon Knack a little cushion. Shohei Ohtani struck out 3 times but also drove in 3 with a double and a single. Landon Knack had a quality start going 5 striking out 6 and allowing just 1 run on 2 hits for his 2nd win.

The Dodgers won their fourth straight game behind the bat of Teoscar Hernández and a strong MLB debut from River Ryan. Hernández drove in all three runs for the Dodgers, and has appeared to avoid 'ruining' his swing doing the HR Derby. He's been clutch for the team a few different times this season. Ryan pitched into the 6th inning for the first time in his professional career and was very efficient. There's always room for improvement and we'll see if he gets the chance for another go in the rotation. Lastly, the Dodgers designated James Paxton for assignment. The move was a bit surprising but ultimately makes the most sense for the team.

Dodgers rookie pitcher River Ryan made his major league debut, he had good command and was very efficient going 5 1/3 allowing 1 unearned run on just 4 hits. Teoscar Hernandez did all the heavy lifting at the plate with all 3 rbi. Home Run #21 the he had the go ahead rbi in the 6th knocking in Freddie Freeman who had walked and then he put them ahead to stay in the 8th with an rbi single scoring Kike Hernandez who had doubled to lead of the inning. 3-2 the final.

The Dodgers started the second half of the season with a sweep of the Red Sox. There was a lot of excitement over the weekend but the biggest one may have been Shohei Ohtani's majestic blast on Sunday. He nearly hit it over the pavilion in right center and the ball traveled 473 feet. It was a sight to see. While Sunday's win was relatively convincing, it took some late-game heroics in the first two games in order to secure victories. Freddie Freeman and Kiké Hernández delivered the biggest hits. Also, this week against the Giants will be fun for Dodgers pitching as we'll see River Ryan's MLB debut, Tyler Glasnow's return and Clayton Kershaw's season debut. Lastly, Evan Phillips has struggled of late. Are we concerned? And Miguel Rojas injury and James Paxton's continued up-and-down season.
