Dodgers might have three top five MVP candidates
The first is certainly Justin Turner, and I’ll be the first to admit I mocked a comment over at TBLA when someone suggested that Turner might win the MVP back in March. I liked Turner but I never thought he could put together a full-season of MVP worthy stats. I was wrong, Justin Turner is …
Just another LAD July Triple leaderboard
When Chris Taylor hit his triple last night, that gave him three in the month of July. Which gave me an excuse to see who has hit the most LAD triples in the month of July. No surprise that the 3-Dog is tied at the top with Maury Wills. Who can forget triple fever with …
Age 26 revisited with Chris Taylor and Ian Kinsler
Before the season started I mentioned how many Dodgers had their break out seasons as a twenty-six-year-old. I was focused on Yasiel Puig but maybe I should have focused on Chris Taylor. Watching Chris Taylor club another home run and triple last I heard that Ian Kinsler was being made available by the Tigers and …
Dialed in 4 – 3 – 2 Chris Taylor
The Dodger base was shocked last night that the Dodgers actually lost a game bringing to an end the eleven game winning streak. If they were going to lose a game this one made the most sense, flying in from Chicago, arriving at 03:30 AM the day of the game, having their least effective starting …
A season of WTF
Besides the Dodgers doing their best imitation of the 1927 Yankees this year has been full of bizarre offensive seasons from players either long given up or simply far exceeding expectations from what had been their previous norms. This is like the 2004 Beltre season but from a baker’s dozen. It won’t include players like Aaron …
Rich Hill puts another win on the Dodger wall
Rich Hill and Logan Forsythe were two of the last holdouts this year in the summer of the Blue, but both have joined the fray, and the team looks unstoppable. For the 3rd straight start, Rich Hill worked seven innings and now has twenty-seven strikeouts to only three walks over his last three starts. That …
Logan Forsythe comes alive
Either by health, skill, or luck, Logan Forsythe has decided to join the Dodger hit party. On June 17th, the OPS was at .574 and Dodger fans were weary of his weak at-bats. It seems the Dodgers are in almost perfect sync, as Chris Taylor went into a little funk, Logan Forsythe caught fire and …

Did the Dodgers snag George Springer for nothing?
Jeff Sullivan did an exhaustive look at the stats of Chris Taylor for Fangraphs on Tuesday. Joe Davis mentioned the story last night either before or after Chris Taylor crushed a home run to deep left field. Joe mentioned that the writer came to the conclusion that the hitter that most Chris Taylor most resembles …
Chris Taylor trying to catch Davey Lopes
While Cody Bellinger is hitting home runs, Chris Taylor is running wild. In the month of June, Chris Taylor has seven stolen bases while being caught………..never. Davey Lopes holds the record of ten stolen bases with zero caught stealing. That was expected because Davey rarely got caught stealing. That is why Maury Wills would never …
