Age 26 revisited with Chris Taylor and Ian Kinsler
Before the season started I mentioned how many Dodgers had their break out seasons as a twenty-six-year-old. I was focused on Yasiel Puig but maybe I should have focused on Chris Taylor. Watching Chris Taylor club another home run and triple last I heard that Ian Kinsler was being made available by the Tigers and …
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 …
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 …
National media taking notice of Dodgers
This morning the Washington Post posted an article about how the Los Angeles Dodgers are making a mockery of the National League. It was a well-written story with some key points. The nature of baseball prevents teams from winning nearly 80 percent of their games. But that’s what the Dodgers have done for nearly a …
Can the Dodgers win 110 games?
A few days ago I showed how weak the Dodger 2nd half schedule was and Dan Szymborski chimed in today also showing how weak the Dodger second half schedule is. According to Dan, the Dodger 2nd half opponents have just a .476 winning percentage based on their win/losses as he wrote the article. The Dodger record …
FFA Week of July 9th – July 16th
The contenders: Wilmer Font – started in the PCL AAA All-Star game on Wednesday and threw one scoreless inning. Followed that up with six innings, three hits, one earned run, zero walks, and eight strikeouts on Sunday. Font continues to excel at AAA as he waits to see if his production will turn into a …
Saturday – Saturday for Cody Bellinger
Cody Bellinger woke up last Saturday in a slump, his OPS had dropped from a high of 1.021 on June 25th to .948 on Saturday Morning. He hadn’t hit a home run since June 25th. Had the league figured him out? Was he worn out from all the media coverage of his crazy start …
Of course he did
Joe Davis called it right “Of course he did” as Cody Bellinger added to his legendary season by hitting for the cycle in Miami tonight, and he did it the hard way, hitting a triple to complete the cycle. I’m extremely pleased because he replaces Orlando Hudson as the last Dodger to hit for the …
Oh, come on
At some point, the Dodgers had to lose so this game seemed as good as any for that weird streak of having won 39 straight games that they once had a lead come to an end. Top of the 9th, down by one run Two out, two strikes, Joc Pederson slams a single into RF …
