One hitter to late, one CF to short
Dustin May put up the worst debut game score (40) at Dodger Stadium by a LAD in history last night but it was hard to fault him for it. The Dodgers didn’t exactly back him with their A lineup with Negron playing his first game in CF at Dodger Stadium and Tyler White getting the …
Can Dustin May break any of these LAD debut Game scores?
The Dodgers best pitching prospect will make his debut tonight at Dodger Stadium against the San Diego Padres, so I thought it might be a good idea to look at the best scores for a rookie debut, for a rookie debut at Dodger Stadium, for a rookie debut against the Padres, for a rookie debut …
Might be time for Keibert to learn how to talk like a Pirate
This is not a reactionary column to another poor outing by the Dodger bullpen, but it is about the season-long problems with the bullpen. The team is still on pace to win 105 games so at this point we only care about the wins in October. I’ve followed Keibert and watched him climb up the …
With Seager / Pollock / Freese returning who will be the odd man out?

Wild Walk Off Weekend
There is a lot to unload from this weekend series with the Rockies. Three walk-off home runs by three different rookies Walker Buehler pitching the greatest game of his career WIll Smith ridiculous return Alex Verdugo putting his stamp on this team Matt Beatty ridiculous return
Matt Beaty belongs here
Every Dodger position rookie is making their mark this year and Matt Beaty is no exception. I haven’t looked at the statcast data, but it seems every time he makes contact it is hard contact. Matt was doing everything right, and yet because of the Rich Hill injury, he was sent down last Wednesday. He …
