Cody chasing Piazza/Green/McGwire on July 12th

For the first time since we started doing this series, Cody Bellinger lost ground to everyone. Especially McGwire and Green, but even Piazza picked up some ground. No longer does it look like a lock that Cody will break the long-standing rookie home run record by Piazza though he is still in great shape. He is way …

LAD First half leaderboard – Strikeouts

The Koufax and Kershaw show with a ringer named Singer.  You have to fully expect Koufax to dominate this list but when you consider that Kershaw is getting about eight starts less per year than the pitchers from 1958 – 1982 it is amazing that he can get on the leaderboard using a cutoff of …

LAD first half leadersboards – sOPS+ against

If you thought Alex Wood was having a season that could be used in the same breath as Sandy Koufax and Clayton you are correct. 12 LAD seasons from a pitcher with a first half sOPS+ against of 50 or less. Kershaw and Koufax have had six of them. Alex Wood joins Jerry Reuss as …

LAD first half leaderboards – sOPS+

Oh look, Justin Turner again. To recap, Justin Turner has the best LAD first half in Batting Average, On-Base Percentage, and sOPS+. In other words, the red-bearded wonder is well on his way to having the greatest offensive season ever by a Los Angeles Dodger. And I thought he could be replaced!!!!!!!! This list is …

LAD First half leaderboards – Slugging Percentage

Cody Bellinger ranks 3rd at the half in slugging percentage.  No surprise that Sheffield and Piazza are one and two. It is rankling that the order is not reversed.  That was some trade. Paul Lo Duca gets an appearance because of my generous criteria of only 200 plate appearances. That doesn’t negate the fact that …

LAD First half leaderboards – Home Runs

Was kind of hoping that Cody Bellinger would knock Gary Sheffield off the top of this leaderboard but his prodigious home run power fell off in July.  Bellinger ends up tied with Eric Karros for 3rd place with twenty-five home runs. I wish I could remember the great first half that Karros had in 2000 …

LAD First half leaderboards – On Base Percentage

How about the more celebrated OBP leaderboard. We used .350 as the batting average cutoff, for OBP, we will move the criteria up to .400. Whoops, too many seasons using .400, we will need to raise it to .425. Justin Turner once again on top but he had to work at it to beat out Junior …

LAD first half leaderboards – Batting Average

With so many Dodgers having amazing first halves, we will be displaying the historical significance of those performances. Justin Turner and Cody Bellinger will populate these boards, but will anyone else show up? Justin fell from .380 but not only walks away with the best first half batting average, good bet he will be on top …

LAD 1st half leaderboard – Wins

The 2017 LAD have their 3rd best win total at the all-star break. I was surprised to find out that 61 wins only gets you the 3rd spot as this has seemed to be the hottest 1st half team I could remember. I guess we have to remember that they were 10 – 12 at …
