Brett Anderson finishes up 3rd rehab game and looks ready to join the beleaguered rotation.
Normally you want a pitcher who hasn’t pitched since last October to get around four or five rehab starts but Brett Anderson is already doing what everyone else is doing in the Dodger rotation. Getting fifteen outs or less. Given the state of the rotation, it would make sense that they simply slot Brett into …
Should Rich Hill be allowed to take the Hill on Friday?
Have to admit I don’t quite get that Rich Hill is the scheduled pitcher on Friday. Rich Hill has not pitched since July 7th, and Friday will be August 12th. Who goes a whole month without pitching and doesn’t throw a rehab game before pitching in a major league game again? The man has been …
Corey Seager leading all rookie SS in OPS in HISTORY
We already know how special Corey Seager is, but just in case how about one more leaderboard to drive the point home. In the history of baseball, Corey Seager has the highest Rookie OPS for shortstops. And for good measure OPS+. Boom Player OPS OPS+ Year Age Tm PA Corey Seager 0.889 139 2016 22 …
Cory Seager jumps into top 10 for home runs in a season by a Shortstop twenty-two and younger
Once again Corey Seager showed off his power, blasting two home runs last night. Corey had already broken the LAD record for most home runs by a LAD SS, most doubles by a LAD rookie, most home runs by a LAD rookie infielder non-catcher edition so we need to look for other horizons. Since Corey …
Adrian Gonzalez becomes 140th player to hit at least 300 home runs
And that leaderboard is simply too large to post. Rambling time So how many 1st basemen have hit 300 home runs? 32 players – still too large what can I do to cherry pick this down to a decent number? How about, how many left handed 1st baseman have hit 300 home runs? – Woo …
Rob n Robin Segedin Rock the Ravine
It must be some kind of emotional roller coaster to be the wife of a career minor league baseball player, pregnant, and not sure what the future holds for you one minute, and twenty-four hours later you’re the special guest of the Los Angeles Dodgers and watching your husband have as great a debut as …
A.J. Ellis helps Dodgers to victory but still can’t find any Dodgers to drive him in
A.J. Ellis drove in the first Dodger run, and caught a shutout against the vaunted Red Sox offense, so he did his job on Saturday. Yet, I have this fascination with the fact he can’t score. Last time we looked Ellis had gone 83 at-bats without scoring and was in fifth place for going scoreless by …
Rich Hill won’t take the mound tomorrow – Didn’t see that coming
Go figure, a 36-year-old pitcher who hasn’t thrown 100 innings since 2007 seems incapable of taking the mound. Fix one blister, find another blister. When the blisters are finally fixed, in all likelihood something else will go wrong. I’m not trying to be a cynic but there is a reason why just a year ago Rich Hill …
The season depends on Bud Norris and Rich Hill? Are you kidding me!!!!!!!!!!!!
Either the Dodger FO is shockingly brilliant or a lug nut loose. The Dodger rotation for the month of August appears to be counting heavily on two pitchers who are currently hurt, and who were weren’t even a blip on the major league radar a year ago today. Rich Hill tested his blister and said …
Dodgers lose 12 – 2 starting a rookie in Coors, Giants lose 5 -4 using Cueto, I call that a win
If the Dodger offense wasn’t going to step up to the plate last night the Dodgers had little chance of a victory so Brock Stewart getting blown out or giving up four runs the end result probably wouldn’t have mattered. I don’t get the use of Urias for three innings but that is another whole …
