Magnificent home Fernandez to much for the Magic of the Starting Toles and the Return of the King
Dodger fans got a taste of what it is like when the rest of baseball faces Clayton Kershaw if they watched Jose Fernandez toy with the potent Dodger lineup last night. As has been documented over and over Jose Fernandez is virtually unbeatable at home, and last night he showed why. Striking out fourteen in …
Looks like the Dodgers just added a left-hand hitting outfielder
Just as Andrew Toles gets his second start in a row tonight, he looks in the rear view mirror and sees Andre Ethier coasting into Miami. According to the pre-game Dodger notes Andre is headed to Miami and at some point this weekend, possibly even tonight the Dodgers will be activating the longest tenured Dodger giving …
Dodgers two-headed platoon in RF is tearing it up in September
Right field was a black hole for the Dodgers in August, with Josh Reddick having one of the worst months in LAD history this century for an outfielder, and Yasiel Puig doing his thing in AAA. The only saving grace for the month was the work of Toles who came up on August 21st. September …
When starting, Toles just keeps on hitting and winning as Shelby gets shelled
Andrew Toles now holds a 12 – 2 record when Dave Roberts decides to start him. In a rare day off for Howie Kendrick, Roberts was able to find a spot for Toles in LF. Well, not quite a day off for Howie, as Dave felt Howie needed to pinch hit even though he had …
In a bit of a surprise Edwin Rios named LAD Minor league Player of the Year
I think I’d have gone with Andrew Toles or Cody Bellinger or Willie Calhoun but Edwin Rios takes the big prize as LAD Minor League Player of the Year. Brock Stewart takes the LAD Minor League pitcher of the year award over the competition of Jose DeLeon. Rios combined to hit .303 with 68 runs, …
LAD Grand Slams within their first 25 games
When Andrew Toles hit his momentous grand slam last night he did it in his 25th career game. Which left me wondering what other LAD have hit a grand slam in their first 25 games. We all remember Yasiel Puig hitting his first grand slam in his 4th game. Alex Guerrero did it in his 13th …
A quick spin around August games with Toles
Even though he was played sparingly Andrew Toles had an August that can sit next to Marlon Anderson’s 2006 Sept any day of the week. Toles only got 20 at-bats because he didn’t come back until August 21st, but what he did with them was simply amazing. 4 singles, 3 doubles, 1 triple, 3 home …
Toles cycles around Coors the long way
It may have taken three days and two games but with one mighty opposite field blast, Andrew Toles cycled and slammed Coors field. Dave Roberts didn’t make it easy for Toles. He didn’t start Monday but still tripled in his only at-bat in the 9th inning. He didn’t start the 1st game of the DH …
Toles still 10 – 2 in games he starts as Dodgers lose two straight with Toles on bench
Nothing says you are in a mini-slump when you can only score one run in eighteen innings at Coors. The Dodgers have scored one run at Coors and the man responsible for that lone run was Andrew Toles who tripled in the 9th inning on Monday Night. As Toles continues to sit on the bench …
Josh Reddick just isn’t measuring up
You’d be hard pressed to find a Dodger regular this century who has had a worse month than Josh Reddick has had in August. For a team used to the heroics of Justin Ruggiano, Juan Rivera, Marlon Anderson, and Belliard after being acquired for the stretch run, the failure of Reddick to launch has been …
