Cody Bellinger Dodger home run king at age 23
Cody Bellinger passed Adrian Beltre last night to be the first Dodger aged 23 or younger to hit at least 77 home runs. It must be noted that Beltre hit his 76 home runs in roughly twice as many plate appearances as Cody. At age 23, Beltre had been an inconsistent performer for the Dodgers …
June Boom
Late to the party but time to put the Dodger June explosion into proper context. Last year the Dodgers set the monthly home run record for the franchise with 53 home runs in June. This June they broke that record monthly record with 55 home runs. Before last June the previous high mark for the …
Dodger prospect busts 1990 – 1999
Last week we took a look at the Dodger prospect busts of the 21st century. Today we will take a look at the busts from 1990 – 1999. Thanks to an old Dodger Thoughts column by Jon Weisman I was able to find this link to all of the Baseball America Top 100 lists from …
2017 Good and bad Part I
Time for end of year lists and luckily for Dodger fans the year was loaded with amazing moments and stories. The Good: Puig Resurrection – Puig went from being demoted to AAA in August of 2016 to batting eight for much of the first 1/2 of 2017 to batting cleanup in game three of the …
Adrian Beltre collecting 3000th hit for 25th among top MLB plays of 2017
He was a Dodger first, our own phenom who was starting for the Dodgers at age 19 and the one we let get away after 2004. Many years later, Adrian Beltre does something very few 3rd baseman have ever done, collecting his 3000th hit. This future HOF will stand tall with the greatest third baseman …
Sophomore slamming
The two best players on the Los Angeles Dodgers are a 21-year-old 1st baseman and a 23-year-old shortstop. They will both be ROY winners, and they both will be leaned on very heavily to help the Dodgers move through October. It seemed that Corey Seager had a very quiet sophomore season, but once the 162 …
Dicking around with LAD bWAR
With so many Dodgers having great seasons, while premature I thought it would be fun to check in on the all-time bWAR infield leaders for the Dodgers and see how the new brood is matching up. I used > 5 bWAR as the criteria Since bWAR is an accumulation stat the more you play the more you …
Corey Seager leads TB Leaderboard against Braves at DS
Corey Seager is already making his mark on the LAD record books. Earlier this week Corey hit his 45th home run, giving him the most home runs by a LAD shortstop. As the Dodgers prepare to play host to the Braves, Corey Seager is already on top of the total base leaderboard by a LAD …
LAD First half leaderboards – Home Runs
Was kind of hoping that Cody Bellinger would knock Gary Sheffield off the top of this leaderboard but his prodigious home run power fell off in July. Bellinger ends up tied with Eric Karros for 3rd place with twenty-five home runs. I wish I could remember the great first half that Karros had in 2000 …
