Scott Kazmir – Audition number one
Back in July, it would have been hard to imagine that Kazmir would be auditioning for a spot on the postseason roster, but August came and everything changed. Using Baseball Reference to get the game score and sorting by highest game score to lowest we can see that three of his six worst game scores …
No one expected the cavalry to be the kiddie corps
but that is what happened when the original calvary all came up lame while Clayton was shelved. At first, it was going to be Ryu then McCarthy, then Anderson. None of them survived their charge and all went back to the DL they came from. Instead, it was rookies Urias / Stewart / Stripling who rode …
Now that is how you start a big series
That Bumgarner / Kershaw matchup may have been the best since Kershaw bested …………. aw snap, don’t you hate it when you feel a good story forming in your mind and when you go to write the story, reality blows your story out of the water. I was planning on writing about how this was …
Giants / Dodgers give possible rotational postseason preview

This is insane!!! De Leon / Urias / Kershaw
Pitching in Yankee Stadium in the middle of September, in the middle of a pennant race. Sure, we all envisioned this could happen in 2018, optimistic folk might have felt it could happen in 2017. Yet, this is 2016. The future is already here and it came blazingly fast On the mound last night was …
My buddy Hris almost got his Braun

Boatload of outfield options awaits Roberts
With Andre Ethier joining the team this weekend and playing left field on Sunday, an already crowded outfield just got more crowded. The Dodgers now have seven legitimate outfield options, and lucky for Dave Roberts just about all have of them have severe platoon splits. Unfortunately for Dave Roberts based on the numbers he still …
