Cody Bellinger moving up with 28
With Cody Bellinger on pace to set the new NL Rookie Home Run record, I thought now would be a good time to look at the names he’ll be passing on his way to the record. Frank Robinson blasted those 38 home runs way back in 1956 when he was just 20 years old. That …
Corey Seager leads TB Leaderboard against Braves at DS
Corey Seager is already making his mark on the LAD record books. Earlier this week Corey hit his 45th home run, giving him the most home runs by a LAD shortstop. As the Dodgers prepare to play host to the Braves, Corey Seager is already on top of the total base leaderboard by a LAD …
Gary Sheffield is the total base bar at nine
The Dodgers have had little success against the Angels and it shows in the anemic total base games the Dodgers have had against the Angels on the road. Gary Sheffield is the only Dodger to have at least nine total bases in the above scenario. I usually set the criteria at 10 but this time …
Chasing Piazza/Green/McGwire on June 26th
Cody Bellinger continues to make a mockery of baseball blasting two more home runs yesterday. He’s now almost a month a head of the Shawn Green pace of 49 home runs which is the all-time Dodger home run record. As promised, I’ve added the Mark McGwire rookie season to see how Cody is doing on …
Dodgers dominating June
Overall Record – 51/26 – Best record in National League June Record – 18/5 – Already tied for 3rd most wins in the month of June. The record is 21 wins in 1973. As of right now, they have best-winning % in the month of June. Team Split Year W W-L% LAD June 1973 21 …
Talk about a rewrite
On Monday, June 19th I posted the best total base games by any Dodgers against the Mets at Dodger Stadium. At the time I was surprised to find that the Dodgers have never had a double-digit total base game with that criteria. That Monday night Cody Bellinger tied Gary Sheffield and Jim Lefebvre with the best …
Chasing Piazza on June 20th
Yesterday we looked at how Cody Bellinger was doing on chasing down the Mike Piazza LAD rookie record of 35 home runs. Cody hit two more last night becoming the fastest to 21 home runs in the history of baseball. At this rate, he might hit 35 home runs before August 1st. Below is a …
Chasing Piazza on June 19th
For twenty years it looked like Mike Piazza’s LAD rookie record of 35 home runs would stand the test of time. Since 2015, however, it has had Dodger rookies taking good cuts at it. Puig never had a chance in 2013 given he didn’t get started until June but still hit 19 home runs in only …
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 …
Pump the brakes
I blame Vin Scully for my reticence to acknowledge that a rookie has made it no matter what they are doing. I’m startled sometimes by the things that are blazed into my brain when so many more important things fail to adhere. It was with my full support back in 1983 that Greg Brock had supplanted …
