LAD Strikeout Leaderboard for AT&T Park
I think I’ll make this a regular thing. Before each series, I’ll post the top Game scores and Strikeouts for that park so we can see if anyone can crack them in the upcoming series. On Saturday, Alex Wood was able to crack the top strikeout games at Coors and jumped over Clayton Kershaw to …
Roberts thinks it is 1966
and the Dodgers failed to take 1st place away from the Rockies falling in the final game and ending up splitting the series. Many things happened in this game, and I saw none of them after the 4th inning as I cut out to take my wife to an adult movie. When I say an …
Johan Mieses walks away with Weekly Farm Factory Award
You know you have been fairly horrific when you have a great week in early May and still have a batting average of .130. Whatever had been ailing the power hitting Mieses was finally put to bed with Mieses hitting four home runs in three days. Well, actually that is not true. Making contact …
Alex Wood joins Ramon Martinez
as a double-digit Coors master. Before the series started I posted the LAD leaderboard in strikeouts at Coors and was surprised to find that Ramon Martinez was the only Dodger to have double-digit strikeouts in a game at Coors. He is no longer alone after Alex Wood pitched a masterful game on Saturday night. Wood …
Blue is the new pink while pink is the new blue – who knew?
Mind blown over a comment at TBLA tonight. I guess this explains why my grandfather was dressed in pink for his 1902 painting when he was two. I had always wondered. Ladies’ Home Journal article in June 1918 said, “The generally accepted rule is pink for the boys, and blue for the girls. The reason …
Masterson is masterful once again
The Dodgers rotation is so loaded they have to game the system to keep the seven legitimate rotation options on the major league roster which must leave Justin Masterson wondering how he’s going to crack the Dodger major league rotation. Masterson has done everything an NRI could do to bring attention to himself but in …
Kershaw makes it 20 against Rockies
Joe Davis said that Kershaw with a win tonight would have the most wins against the Rockies franchise. Kershaw did notch his 20th win against the Rockies but I was left wondering who the competition was. Kind of fierce actually. Player Split From To G W L W-L% Clayton Kershaw COL 2008 2017 35 20 …
OTDIB – May 13th – Larry Miggins and Vin Scully forever intertwined
May 13th, 1952 Larry Miggins, boyhood friend of Vin Scully hits his first home run with Vin Scully making the call Larry Miggins hits the first of his two major league home runs, going deep off Preacher Roe in the fourth inning of the Cardinals’ 14-8 loss to the Dodgers at Ebbets Field. The round-tripper …
Best game scores by LAD at Coors
With Clayton Kershaw getting ready to toe the rubber tonight in Coors, I thought it would be a good time to review the best-pitched games at Coors. Yesterday we looked at the best hitting performances. No surprise to see Clayton owning the 2nd/3rd best performances so far. Nomo’s no no is, of course, the greatest …
Might be something to be said for rhythm
The Dodgers front office has shown a propensity in recent years to push MLB rules as far as they can until MLB has to change them to make sure the details of the rule can’t be pushed beyond what the original letter of intent was by a boatload of analysts. This was never more evident …
