Phillies have their own Ross Stripling
Zach Eflin is probably unknown to most Dodger fans but for the Phillies, he’s been as much a reason for the Phillies being in 1st place as Ross Stripling is for the Dodgers. Zach was actually a Dodger for about one day. The Dodgers acquired him on Dec 18th, 2014 in the Matt Kemp / …
Machado deal is 3rd big summer deal in a row

It wasn’t supposed to be such a steep climb but when the Arizona Diamondbacks got off to such a hot start and the Dodgers stumbled coming out of the gate, first place looked as far away as the peak of El Capitan but with a trio of Monster drinks in their backpack the Dodgers have …
