Hatcher and Stripling survive final cuts
Adam Liberatore and Josh Fields were optioned to the minors yesterday giving the Dodgers their full pitching staff. Not quite full with Baez headed to the DL. The pitching staff looks set for the time being, but it won’t be long before changes are made. Starting Rotation – Kershaw, Maeda, Hill, Ryu, McCarthy Right-Hand Bullpen …
Check that – Weaver to start game 4
Yesterday the Padres announced that Jered Weaver was going to start game three and I wrote a little blurb about how that was the game to see next week, but they corrected themselves and announced later that Jered Weaver was going to start game four instead. Which now makes it the perfect game to attend …
Get your tickets now – Weaver will start game 3
Opening day doesn’t cut it for me anymore, maybe someday when there is a ring ceremony to accompany the pageantry, otherwise, it is just to expensive a ticket for me to justify. Even when I had season tickets I’d sell opening day to help defray the cost of the season tickets. I always felt that …
Ryu makes rotation against all odds
Back in December when we looked at the LAD rotational depth we had Ryu on there simply out of respect but in the analysis, I didn’t give him any innings. I think the Dodgers will give him a long look this spring but end up releasing him. I hope I’m really wrong on this and …
Rotation attrition hits acceptable levels
The Dodger rotation depth headed into spring was eleven deep which was what allowed the front office to trade Jharel Cotton / Frankie Montas / Grant Holmes / Jose DeLeon / Chase De Jong over the past eight months. That and Walker Buehler / Yadier Alvarez / Trevor Oaks / Imani Abdullah / Mitchell White. …
Dodgers send down five
Dodgers sent two of their top prospects along with three other players from major league camp to minor league camp and each of them could be back at some point. Alex Verdugo – Verdugo played for Mexico in the WBC and while playing RF could have made the catch that kept Mexico in the tournament …
Having fun with LAD spring stats
By March 20th it is fun to look at spring stats just because they are the only stats we got to work with. Hitting: Grandal leads the team in hits with 14 Grandal leads the team in extra base hits with 7 Brett Eibner leads the team in doubles with 4 Erick Mejia has two …
Segedin and Dickson fighting for relevance
Two players generally acknowledged as long shots to make the 2017 Dodger roster, are doing their best to make it harder for the Dodger brass to ignore them when it comes to making the hard decisions. Making it even harder for the duo is that they both are fighting for the same spot. That current …
Ryu throwing a monkey wrench into rotation plans?
Of all the options that were being considered for the rotation after the big three (Kershaw, Maeda, Hill) Ryu was the longest shot among Kazmir, McCarthy, Wood, Urias, Stewart, and Stripling. That long shot may end up paying as Ryu pitched three solid innings against the Cubs yesterday and declared that he is planning on …
Is Enrique Hernandez the next Dodger traded?
The current LAD front office has made a habit of trading players they traded for in the first place. With Chris Taylor hitting like a healthy Cory Seager, Charlie Culberson showing that he’ll never embarrass you no matter where you play him, and Darnell Sweeney displaying his versatility, this may leave Enrique Hernandez on the outside …
