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 …

Easy schedule coming up
As we noted a few days ago, the Dodgers first half record is one of the best in franchise history and if the Dodgers can take advantage of an easy schedule coming out of the break they could make a real run a winning 100 games plus this year. Only one time from now until …
Re-visiting the Rotational guesses
On Feb 17th we made our first guesses on how the rotational starts might be distributed in 2017. When spring training ended we did it again since the information had changed. How did we do? Kershaw has been the rock we expected, never missing a start. Urias ended up being the only casualty in the …
LAD July offense stat update
Some surprises here for me. I thought Puig was doing better in July than he is. Corey Seager is hitting but his walk/k rate is strange for him. Thirteen strikeouts in only 32 plate appearances with only two walks. That is not the Seager we know. Kiké Hernandez has been terrible in July. I’m truly …
