Baseball America Dodger Prospect Centric chat
Baseball America did a top 100 prospect chat several days ago. Since the Dodgers have numerous prospects in the top 100 let’s see what they had to say specifically about the Dodger prospects. Could they be any more giddy about Bellinger? Tony (Lakeland, FL): Who is the most likely of the top 100 to hit …
Fangraphs checks in on Brock Stewart and Sergio Romo
Jeff Sullivan took a look at Brock Stewart and liked what he saw. Stewart’s fastball just averaged 93.2 miles per hour. Yu Darvish‘s fastball just averaged 93.3 miles per hour. And by spin rate, Stewart’s four-seamer wound up in the 96th percentile, right by Blake Snell and Dylan Bundy. Stewart doesn’t try to survive by …
Rotational Depth?
Depending on who you ask the Dodgers have plenty of pitching or not enough. This comes up because as the Dozier talks heat up I hear several arguments. The Dodgers should be targeting more pitching not hitting The Dodgers should not be trading almost major league talents like De Leon and Stewart for hitting even …
Year of the Rookie
Unless something happens significantly in the postseason, the 2016 LAD season will always be known as the year of the rookie. The Dodgers got an MVP type season from their rookie shortstop. Corey Seager will make the postseason roster. The Dodgers got 1190 plate appearances from rookie position players The Dodgers got 432 innings from …
See you in March, Mr. McCarthy
Any chance of Brandon McCarthy making the postseason roster went up in smoke last night. A sad ending to a tough year for the good-natured McCarthy.

No one expected the cavalry to be the kiddie corps
but that is what happened when the original calvary all came up lame while Clayton was shelved. At first, it was going to be Ryu then McCarthy, then Anderson. None of them survived their charge and all went back to the DL they came from. Instead, it was rookies Urias / Stewart / Stripling who rode …
Toles now 15 – 3 in games started
and 8 – 1 since being recalled on August 21st. The only time the LAD have lost when Andrew Toles has started since August 21st was the brilliant performance by Jose Fernandez at his home field in Miami. Toles showed off one his many tools last night when he threw out Tomas from left field …
This is insane!!! De Leon / Urias / Kershaw
Pitching in Yankee Stadium in the middle of September, in the middle of a pennant race. Sure, we all envisioned this could happen in 2018, optimistic folk might have felt it could happen in 2017. Yet, this is 2016. The future is already here and it came blazingly fast On the mound last night was …
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 …
