Strikeouts are kind of boring
That was what I was thinking last night about the 10th inning after a bazillion players struck out in the Dodger / Brewer game. No one could make contact for either team. Eventually, the game was decided by three solo home runs. Basically, the game consisted of strikeouts or solo home runs. The strikeouts were …
Kershaw re-writes the leaderboards
Part of the fun for me in posting the leaderboards before each series is to see if someone can crack them. Several weeks ago Alex Wood did just that, and last night Clayton Kershaw decided he would be mocked no more for not having a double-digit strikeout game against the Brewers on the road. Here are …

Chan Ho Park takes the K leaderboard against Brewers
As expected Chan Ho Park sits on top of the strikeout leaderboard against the Brewers as visitors with his brilliant 14 strikeout performance on August 29, 2000. What wasn’t expected was Luke Prokopec. Have to be honest I never expected to see Luke on any of these leaderboards, but I guess if John Purdin can …
Hideo Nomo once again on top of a game score leaderboard against an opponent.
Hideo Nomo finds himself on top once again with his two hitter on May 24th, 2003. Only three Dodgers have managed a game score above 80 against the Brewers on the road. That is kind of light. Chan Ho Park will probably be sitting on top the strikeout leaderboard against the Brewers on the road. …
Shawn Green with 19 total bases in one game against Brewers
Only two Dodgers have ever had double digit total bases on the road against the Brewers. Even the most casual Dodger fan probably knows about the Shawn Green explosion on May 23rd, 2002. The single greatest game in the history of the Dodgers. Does anyone remember the Grandal game? Grandal had two singles, two home …
Dodger Farm System Positional update June 2nd, 2017
With two months in the books, how has the farm system been doing? My quick top ten: Keibert Ruiz – I might be crazy, but he’s my favorite positional prospect Alex Verdugo – possible trade bait Willie Calhoun – trade bait Brendon Davis Gavin Lux Edwin Rios – trade bait Will Smith Oneil Cruz Carlos Rincon …
LAD overview headed into June
The Dodgers are coming off one of their most successful May’s in history as they ran down the Rockies and Diamondbacks who both played great ball in May themselves. What is in store for them in June? 1st Base – Adrian Gonzalez is back and I have a feeling he is going to make up …
LAD May Double Leaderboard – Grandal sneaks in
Nomar Garciaparra had fourteen doubles in May and no one else is close but Grandal did manage to sneak onto the leaderboard with his ten doubles in May. Puig seems to be on every May leaderboard based on what he did in 2014. Player Split Year 2B PA RBI BA OBP SLG OPS TB Nomar …
LAD May RBI Leaderboard – Bellinger makes a dent
Oh so close. Bellinger ends the month of May with twenty-seven RBI but falls one RBI short of Eric Karros and Nomar Garciaparra who both drove in twenty-eight. Puig is here to remind us that he used to be great, and used to drive in runs. I kind of expect Tommy Davis or Steve Garvey …
