How do you play your five hottest hitters when you only have four positions for them?
The Dodgers have four positions for five very hot hitters. Matt Kemp has been here all along, Max Muncy announced himself in mid – April, Yasiel Puig joined the party in Mid May, Joc Pederson got the call last weekend, and Cody Bellinger showed up this week. The June numbers are ridiculous for these fab …
Dodgers start and end successful roadtrip with bullpen games
By any measure, the recent Dodger road trip through the Rocky Mountains and Pittsburgh was a resounding success but it wasn’t easy and Dennis Santana was as involved as anyone could be who only got fourteen outs in those six games. On the first game of the road trip, the Dodgers decided to use Dennis …
Dodgers rolled dice and crapped out
The Dodgers didn’t have to hand the ball to a twenty-one-year pitcher who had only started two games in AAA and wasn’t on the 40-man roster but that is what they choose to do for the Wednesday night game. It was exciting for everyone but in the end, it was too much to ask of …

Caleb Ferguson is only twenty-one years old and thus here is the game score leaderboard for Los Angeles Dodgers who made their debut start at the age of twenty-one or younger. Ramon Martinez has the highest game score at 68. Rick Sutcliffe showed in Sept of 1976 what was to come in 1979 when he …
LAD debut starts in the 21st century
Dennis Santana didn’t get to make this list due to the Dodgers sleight of hand regarding who started and who relieved last week, but from what I gather, Caleb Ferguson will actually start the game tonight so I thought we could look at all the debut starts for the Dodgers. I limited this to the …
Max Muncy laughs at the MLB draft
Most of the baseball world will be looking at their new draft picks and salivating about things to come, and certainly, the Dodgers have done well enough in the draft to brag about the likes of 2016 ROY Corey Seager, 2017 ROY Cody Bellinger, and newest Dodger rookie sensation Walker Buehler. They were picked number …
