Toles cycles around Coors the long way
It may have taken three days and two games but with one mighty opposite field blast, Andrew Toles cycled and slammed Coors field. Dave Roberts didn’t make it easy for Toles. He didn’t start Monday but still tripled in his only at-bat in the 9th inning. He didn’t start the 1st game of the DH …
Toles still 10 – 2 in games he starts as Dodgers lose two straight with Toles on bench
Nothing says you are in a mini-slump when you can only score one run in eighteen innings at Coors. The Dodgers have scored one run at Coors and the man responsible for that lone run was Andrew Toles who tripled in the 9th inning on Monday Night. As Toles continues to sit on the bench …
Josh Reddick just isn’t measuring up
You’d be hard pressed to find a Dodger regular this century who has had a worse month than Josh Reddick has had in August.

Rookies Brock the week

It wasn’t your normal rookies either, sure Corey Seager was brilliant once again, but this rookie week was filled with wonderful antics from unlikely sources. Monday – Dodgers crushed the Reds 18 -9 and sure Adrian …
Brock Stewart has made three starts and has this strange statistical quirk
Brock Stewart dominated for five innings today which didn’t surprise me. Brock has made three starts and only given up runs in three of his 14 innings. Maybe I don’t understand quirky. Just seems funky to me: In his three starts: 12 Scoreless innings 1 five run inning 1 Four run inning five runs zero …
Dodgers don’t make it easy for Brock Stewart
Brock Stewart will be making his 3rd career start for the Dodgers today, and he’ll be going against the best team in baseball, and Jon Lester. In his first start against the Brewers way back on June 29th, Brock pitched four scoreless innings. The problem was the 2nd inning where he gave up five runs. …
