Dennis Santana pitches minor league game of the year for Dodgers
Dennis Santana hasn’t had the greatest success at Tulsa since being promoted a few months ago but he saved his best for the biggest moment of the season. Tulsa went with four starters before calling on Dennis Santana in game five of a series tied at two games a piece. Santana responded with seven shutout …
Another game, another beatdown
The Dodgers lost their 10th game in a row but more disturbing is how they are losing. They continue to be a punching bag for the NL West going 1 – 13 against the Diamondbacks, Rockies, and Padres over their past fourteen games. They aren’t losing close games either. Of those 13 losses, they lost …
Are the Dodgers starting the best catcher?
Yesterday I wondered if Austin Barnes might be the best second base option for the Dodgers between Logan Forsythe, Chase Utley, and Enrique Hernandez. Today, Austin Barnes is starting as the catcher for the fourth time in Sept and against an RHP. With Yazmani Grandal continuing to struggle offensively is Dave Roberts starting to think …
Not a good sign
When you score four runs in the first inning and have the pitcher on the mound who is supposed to match up with Strasburg or Ray or whatever the Cubs are using as their second best pitcher you should expect to end a seven game losing streak. Didn’t happen. Yu Darvish once again is making …
Dodger prospects get shutout on Baseball America MiLB All-Star teams
Been a tough month for the Dodgers. Not only are the Dodgers whiffing in Sept, but their prospects are as well.

For years I wanted to visit the home of the Lancaster Jethawks and with the Rancho Quakes starting their playoff run in Lancaster, I decided that Wednesday Night would be the best time to finally make the trip. I picked the wrong night. On Wednesday night the Quakes offense couldn’t register on the seismic scale …
Dodgers becoming a punching bag for NL West
On Sunday, August 27th, the Dodgers played their last game against the NL Central losing to the Brewers 3 – 2. On August 25th the Dodgers had a 21 game lead over the Arizona Diamondbacks. Since August 27th the Dodgers have only played NL West teams: The Diamondbacks swept the Dodgers in Arizona outscoring the …
Pedro Guerrero tops this leaderboard
If Jimmy Wynn tops the Dodger leaderboard for consecutive games with a walk, who tops the leaderboard with at least one walk and one hit? Pedro Guerrero Seems the only Brooklyn Dodgers to crack the top ten leaderboard are Jim Gilliam and Roy Campanella. Junior did it seven times in a row as a Brooklyn Dodger …
Trout and Wynn
Mike Trout walked for the 14th game in a row setting the Angel franchise record, which made me wonder who has the record for the Dodgers. Even before I did the search I would have bet on Jimmy Wynn even though he only played for the Dodgers for two years, and sure enough, there he …
