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 …
Puig – Nobody – Pederson – Seager – Bellinger
Home runs are up all over baseball and nowhere is that more apparent than at Dodger Stadium where rookie after rookie keep launching home runs. Prior to 2014, the most LAD rookie home runs was the magic 35 by Mike Piazza in 1993. The 2nd most was 23 by Frank Howard back in 1960 before …
Oh come on now. That was crazy
Cody Bellinger hit one of the most unexpected home runs I’ve witnessed from my kitchen. It was so unexpected I left my chair, and decided this would be a good time to make a brownie sundae instead of watching Andrew Miller carve up the rookie. Yet, Cody Bellinger is unlike anything I’ve ever seen. And …
No June Gloom for Dodgers
June Record 6 – 4 Overall Record 39 – 25 Position – 1 1/2 games back of the Rockies By sweeping the potent Reds the Dodgers moved over .500 for June and kept the Rockies in their sights. The Rockies won seven in a row until yesterday, so it was imperative the Dodgers make hey …
Bellinger / Taylor blazing beginnings
As Chris Taylor continues to prove he belongs somewhere in the starting lineup I started wondering where he would place among LAD who started their Dodger careers off with a bang. I usually start with Marlon Anderson and Ronnie Belliard, two Sept pickups who excelled for the team and helped propel them toward the postseason. …
LAD May RBI Leaderboard – Bellinger makes a dent
Oh so close. Bellinger ends the month of May with twenty-seven RBI but falls one RBI short of Eric Karros and Nomar Garciaparra who both drove in twenty-eight. Puig is here to remind us that he used to be great, and used to drive in runs. I kind of expect Tommy Davis or Steve Garvey …
LAD May Home run Leaderboard
Cody Bellinger blasted nine home runs in May. How does that stack up historically? Pretty good. Only two players have hit ten home runs in the month of May. Mondesi did it twice, and Shawn Green when he destroyed the Brewers in 2002. Bellinger joins a select group of eight players who have hit nine …
Successful offensive May is in the books
Overall Record 33 wins / 21 losses May Record – 19 wins / 9 losses Position – 1st place / half a game in front of the both the Rockies and Diamondbacks Dodgers led the NL in runs scored in May with 159, averaging 5.67 runs per game. That was forty-seven more runs scored in April, …
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 …
