Dodgers hitters roll through Ohio
Overall Record – 44/26 June Record – 11/5 Position – 1 game back of Rockies Highlights of June so far: The Dodgers swept the Reds at Dodger Stadium and on the road in a span of ten days, and they did it without Clayton Kershaw pitching in any of the six games. They have won …
This wasn’t how I drew up the Dodger season
Kind of expected the Dodgers to eventually be the best team in the West but I’ll be honest I kind of figured that meant: 1. Adrian Gonzalez was the 1st baseman 2. Andrew Toles was the LF 3. Chris Taylor was in AAA 4. Cody Bellinger was in AAA 5. Urias had settled in as …

The Silver Fox eludes the bloodhounds of time
Logan Forsythe the starting 2nd baseman had gotten hurt on April 23rd and was a month away. It was now up to the 38-year-old second baseman to find out if he had anything left. Things didn’t look promising, Chase looked done but maybe he could find a rhythm with steady at-bats. Chase got some regular at-bats but …
Kenta makes Roberts look good
Many questions, and many answers last night. We will start with the NL baseball decision. Should you pinch hit for your starting pitchers as early as the 4th inning? Your pitcher struggled in the first inning putting the team in a hole by three runs, but has gotten his act together and kept the score …
The ball finds you
Chris Taylor made his first ever start in CF last night and on the second pitch, Fowler hit a deep drive to straight away CF that seemed destined for a leadoff double or triple, but Chris Taylor tracked it down and leaped at the wall to snare the out leading Joe Davis to exclaim “The …
