Cody Bellinger moving up with 28
With Cody Bellinger on pace to set the new NL Rookie Home Run record, I thought now would be a good time to look at the names he’ll be passing on his way to the record. Frank Robinson blasted those 38 home runs way back in 1956 when he was just 20 years old. That …
Dodgers place 6 in revised MLB Prospect top 100
MLB finally released their midseason top 100 prospect list and six Dodgers made the top 100 list. Walker Buehler at 13 – preseason rank was 93 – big jump Alex Verdugo at 28 – preseason rank was 61 – big jump Yadier Alvarez at 51 – preseason rank was 49 – not much movement Willie …
Chasing Piazza / Robinson / Green / McGwire with number 28
While doing this chase segment for Cody Bellinger I’ve been remiss in leaving out Frank Robinson and Wally Berger who both hold the NL rookie home run single season record of 38. With Joc Pederson and Corey Seager dropping off after Cody Bellinger hit his 27th home run on Sunday, I’ll add Frank Robinson to …
Crap, Kershaw goes down
Just a few days ago I was about to write about how the NL league leader in games started had bounced back quite nicely from his back troubles of a year ago. So much for that column. Guess we won’t have a Clayton Kershaw CYA debate again this year. Shooting from the hip I really …
Damn, I agree with Dylan
Dylan Hernandez has mostly become an annoying columnist following in the vein of TJ Simers since leaving the Dodger beat, but he does make a valid point in this column. The Dodgers should trade for Yu Darvish if he is available. I know that getting a relief pitcher like Andrew Miller is all the rage right …

FFA Winner for Week of July 17th – July 23rd
The contenders are…… Wilmer Font – OKC – The starting pitcher in the PCL All-Star game twirled a gem last week going seven innings, giving up seven hits, two earned runs, one walk, and eleven strikeouts. In his last ten starts Font has only walked more than two hitters once as he has displayed an …
68 – 31, right on track after 4 – 2 week
Last Monday I ran a little exercise to see what it would take to get the Dodgers to 110 wins. I conservatively got them to 108 wins, and by going 4 – 2 this past week they are right on schedule. We didn’t get there the same way but nonetheless ended up 4-2. I expected …
Just another LAD July Triple leaderboard
When Chris Taylor hit his triple last night, that gave him three in the month of July. Which gave me an excuse to see who has hit the most LAD triples in the month of July. No surprise that the 3-Dog is tied at the top with Maury Wills. Who can forget triple fever with …
