Trading value?
David Hood at TBLA put up a post ranking the Dodger rookies/prospects by trade value. His number one option to be traded was Alex Verdugo and he gave excellent reasons for ranking him as number one. 1. Alex Verdugo: Talented offensive player that might have more hype than ceiling, a year away from reaching the …
Adrian Gonzalez can’t wait for tonight
Adrian Gonzalez has a long history of success against major league pitching but his most success might be against Trevor Cahill who will take the mound for the Padres tonight. At least in the non Homer Bailey category. PA Hits XBH HR RBI BB K BA OBP Slug% OPS 30 12 6 3 10 4 8 …
Dodgers shut out in 2nd game
Maybe this was more about the Dodgers scoring 14 runs yesterday and coming back to earth tonight, or maybe it really was about Clayton Richard being left-handed. I only know that this will be the best game that Clayton Richard pitches this year, and maybe the last great game of his career. Too soon to …
Broadcast Notes 4/4/17
Listening to Joe Davis and Orel telling stories, so I thought it might be fun to document them for those who don’t have Spectrum. When Ross Stripling entered the game in relief of Kenta Maeda, we learned a little more about Ross. He was a walk on at Texas A&M and only went there for …
Baseball notes for 04/04/17
I just watched Stephen Piscotty have one of the more painful turns you will watch and you can pin most of the blame on Contreras. He was hit on the right elbow by a pitch from the hard throwing Jake Arrieta. He advanced to 2nd and was plunked on the left elbow on the throw …
Tigers could really use an outfielder
Watching the Tiger/White Sox game I can’t help but feel the Dodgers have a plethora of outfielders better than what the Tigers are using in CF and LF. JD Martinez is hurt but Tiger fans must be hurt knowing that they have to turn to Mikie Mahtook as their starting RF while JD is on …
Clayton Richard to test new Dodger lineup against LHP
The LAD Achilles heel last year was LHP, and it didn’t have to be Chris Sale or Madison Bumgarner lefty aces, it simply had to be someone who pitched with the left hand. Clayton Richard fits that bill. He’s not very good but he does throw with the left hand. The Dodgers tried to solve …
Gonzaga Bulldogs just come up short
It was hard for me to be very excited about Dodgers opening day with Gonzaga taking on the legendary basketball program of North Carolina for the right to declare themselves the best college basketball team in the country. Like many of you, I never went to the college I root for. I fell for Gonzaga …
Chavez Ravine gets a facelift
Per Dodger notes here are some updates to the stadium: The first sculpture in Dodger Stadium history, appropriately depicting Jackie Robinson, will be unveiled on the left field reserve level plaza area (Lot B) on April 15, marking the 70th anniversary of Robinson creaking the color barrier in Major League Baseball. The reconfiguring of the …
LAD feast on Padre pitching
Yazmani Grandal: Hit two home runs, one right-handed, one left-handed becoming the first LAD to ever do that on opening day. He joins Raul Mondesi as the only LAD to ever hit two home runs on opening day. Mondesi did it twice. Joins AJ Ellis as the only LAD catcher to drive in at least …
