Blazing Dodger Blue meets en fuego Royal Blue
A month ago the game was figuring out where the assorted Royals were going to end up. Cain, Hosmer, Moustakas, and Vargas were the primary names being bandied about. I had even conjectured that Cain would be a good fit for the Dodgers given the struggles of Pederson and the uncertain status of the untested …
Justin Turner currently in the company of Rod Carew and Tony Gwynn
Can Justin Turner keep his batting average above .380 by the all-star game? With Alex Wood his 1st half season is done so we know we will end the first half with a perfect 10 – 0 record. Only 15 hitters since 1958 have managed to have at least a .380 BA by the all-star …
Old Tyme stats kicking butt
Alex Wood is 10 – 0 in the first half but starter wins aren’t supposed to mean anything anymore Justin Turner is hitting over .380 just before the break but batting average isn’t supposed to mean anything anymore since we have wRC+ to hang with now. So why is everyone celebrating the batting average of …
One time LAD 1 – 0 Losers
Bringing this little 1 – 0 loser arc thread to a close we now look at all the pitchers who lost one game 1 – 0. This is a fun list with many names you won’t see often, combined with two of the greatest pitchers of any era. Several scrapheap projects. Al Downing had been part …
Big and Little D dominate 1 – 0 loser list
I was right about Don Sutton leading the Dodgers in losing 1 – 0 games but he had company from his big brother Don Drysdale. They both did it a staggering nine times. This points to two things. They were both incredible pitchers, and they both pitched for some bad offensive teams. The list below …
Kershaw cracks top gamescore against Dbacks at home
Clayton Kershaw once again played with a no-hitter but had to settle for just another victory. The final score of 4 – 3 does not properly reflect his dominance last night in which he put up a game score of 82. That game score put him on the leaderboard of Dodger pitchers with a game …
The Campaign Continues
Dodger fans at the game tonight were treated to Orel Hershiser and Justin Turner putting on the Ritz as they combined on the Nations birthday with a memorable moment. At the same time, Dodger fans listening to Joe Davis got a glimpse why he is filling the big shoes of Vin Scully very well. Orel took …
Logan Forsythe comes alive
Either by health, skill, or luck, Logan Forsythe has decided to join the Dodger hit party. On June 17th, the OPS was at .574 and Dodger fans were weary of his weak at-bats. It seems the Dodgers are in almost perfect sync, as Chris Taylor went into a little funk, Logan Forsythe caught fire and …
Cody Bellinger racks up another award
Cody’s mom is going to need to build a new mantle at the rate he keeps bringing home the hardware. Only two months into his major league career and Cody Bellinger has already won: NL Rookie of the Month for June (his latest) NL Rookie of the Month for May NL Player of the Week from …
Keibert Ruiz is my Prospect of the Month
As spring has turned to summer the 18-year-old Ruiz has gotten as hot as the weather. Ruiz ended June with a triple stat line of .339 / .435 / .492 which according to my meager math gives him an OPS of .926. Using the table below you can see his progression. Month AB BA OBP …
