Gary Sheffield is the total base bar at nine
The Dodgers have had little success against the Angels and it shows in the anemic total base games the Dodgers have had against the Angels on the road. Gary Sheffield is the only Dodger to have at least nine total bases in the above scenario. I usually set the criteria at 10 but this time …
Graybeard and Graybeard
I went up to Ferndale (650 miles north of Los Angeles) this week to see my Dad on his 89th birthday. I also had one other goal. When my Dad was in the army he shaved twice a day from West Point to Frankfurt, Germany a span of 22 years. When he retired, the first thing …
LAD 14 game splits – to much good stuff
The Dodgers have a ten game winning streak and have won 13 of 14 games so let us quickly see how they have gone about it. I have a feeling that Cody Bellinger and Alex Wood are heavily involved. Dave Cameron of Fangraphs has a new column in which he likens the Dodgers to the …

Justin Turner is giving batting average new life
Batting average isn’t the end all anymore when it comes to evaluating the kind of season a player is having but it is can still catch the fans imagination when a player flirts with the magic .400 season. Justin Turner is still at .387, and as the calendar turns to late June he could set …
Alex Wood finds home cooking to his taste
Right now Alex Wood has a career ERA at Dodger Stadium of 1.78 which would place him 6th on the all-time list for pitchers who have made at least 10 starts at Dodger Stadium. The only Dodgers on this list are Sandy Koufax and Alex Wood. Heady company indeed. Anyone who watched J. R. Richard …
