Wood gets Shellacked
That is all, just been wanting to use that line and it appeared I’d never get a shot at it.
Dodgers all over the triple crown leaderboards on July 21st, 2017
Batting average and RBI may be old news these days but home runs still get everyone excited. I’ve also noticed that batting average seems to get more play when your player is leading the league in hitting. Now that Justin Turner has finally qualified let’s see what the leaderboards look like. First up will be …
Minor League Notes 07/21/17
A lot of activity at the minor league level for the Dodgers with some ramifications. Walker Buhler was promoted to AAA and made his first start last night. The number one pitching prospect for the Dodgers did not get out of the first inning, Walker faced five batters, giving up three walks and two hits …
Dialed in 4 – 3 – 2 Chris Taylor
The Dodger base was shocked last night that the Dodgers actually lost a game bringing to an end the eleven game winning streak. If they were going to lose a game this one made the most sense, flying in from Chicago, arriving at 03:30 AM the day of the game, having their least effective starting …

Kershaw and Wood have been unbeatable
Per the Dodger media notes, was the little tidbit that the Dodgers have won Clayton Kershaw’s last fourteen starts. They have also won the last eleven starts by Alex Wood. The Dodgers have not lost a game started by either Kershaw or Wood since May 1st. The Kershaw victory last night was his 141st which …
Scratch JD Martinez off the list
Evidently, the Dodgers didn’t want JD Martinez after all. The slugging outfielder was traded to NL West rival Arizona Diamondbacks, in what looks to be a very light package for one of the best hitting outfielders in baseball. The Dodgers could easily have surpassed the offer from the Diamondbacks, so we have to assume he …
