What an unlikely quartet

Most total bases by a Dodger at Dodger Stadium against the Cubs involves four of the most unlikely players.  We had to drop down to nine total bases to even find four. Only one player has managed a double-digit total base game against the Cubs at Dodger Stadium. Player Date Rslt PA R H 2B HR TB …

Cody Bellinger puts his skills on display

With Adrian Gonzalez ailing, and headed out to represent Mexico in the WBC, Dodger fans are going to get to see a lot of number one prospect Cody Bellinger.  I suspect they will like what they see. Today, Cody put some of his skills on display. In his first at-bat,  he struck out on a …

Austin Barnes scores 1st run for a Dodger catcher not named Grandal since May 1st

For a while this summer I was keeping track of A.J. Ellis and his scoreless at-bat streak. Ellis reached 101 at-bats without scoring a run before he was traded so he was unable to break the record held by Camilli at 105 at-bats. Evidently,  Carlos Ruiz got the message and he has been unable to score …

It takes a lot to score a LAD catcher

AJ Ellis has now gone 74 at-bats without scoring a run. I was wondering how that places him historically so I ran the numbers this morning and to no one’s surprise the leaderboard is filthy with catchers. Doug Camilli sits on top of the scoreless leaderboard with 105 at bats over 36 games. He basically didn’t …

LAD – by the numbers 06/29/16

Adrian Gonzalez loves Miller park so much that in 136 plate appearances  he has the highest BA (.420), highest OBP (.507),  and highest slugging percentage (.795) of his career at Miller park.  No wonder that last night he might have broken out of his season-long slump by getting on base five times via three hits, …
