Logan Forsythe comes alive
Either by health, skill, or luck, Logan Forsythe has decided to join the Dodger hit party. On June 17th, the OPS was at .574 and Dodger fans were weary of his weak at-bats. It seems the Dodgers are in almost perfect sync, as Chris Taylor went into a little funk, Logan Forsythe caught fire and …
