Corey Seager is a MVP finalist
It was already a given that Corey Seager would win the NL ROY award so it was no surprise when MLB announced their top three candidates for the MVP, ROY, CYA, and Manager of the Year finalists that Seager was one of the three for the NL ROY. NL Jackie Robinson Rookie of the Year: …
As postseason games go, this game had soul
I’ve been reviewing postseason box scores looking for historical games to write about, and I’ll have to admit if I saw this box score twenty years from now, it would not strike me as a particularly interesting game. That is the problem with box scores of games you never saw, they don’t really tell the …
Historical LAD ROY voting for position players
With Corey Seager expected to win the NL 2016 Rookie of the Year award, let’s take a look at all the LAD position players who have gotten at least one vote for the award. In 1960 Frank Howard won over his teammate Tommy Davis and future HOF Ron Santo. Frank Howard had an illustrious career …
How did Seager fare against Fred Lynn
Back on August 10th, I wondered if Corey Seager could replicate the 1975 season of Fred Lynn, when Lynn won both the MVP and ROY. Using fWAR, Corey did his part, putting up a 7.5 fWAR which was actually better than Lynn’s 7.1 in 1975. Let’s update the rest of the numbers: Player | OPS …

A Hollywood ending that even Hollywood couldn’t write
The day that should have had so much promise started out with the horrible news that baseball had lost one of its great stars in a fishing boat accident. Winning a pennant now seemed inconsequential. Witnessing the last calls of Vin at home was already going to make for a stressful day, losing Jose Fernandez …
Now that was a Saturday Night game to stay home for
Some games have a little of something, and some games have a lot of something and this game had a lot of everything. First of all the Dodgers won 5 – 0 keeping the Giants four games back which is a good thing because it looks like the Giants rediscovered how to use a bat. …
LAD rookie records are going to fall
As Corey Seager continues to wreck havoc on the baseball world the LAD rookie records will be next to feel the strength of his bat. Corey has already hit the most doubles for a LAD rookie but other records are about to fall. He should take out the runs record of 88 tonight or tomorrow. …
Rookies Brock the week
The Dodger rookies faced down the Reds/Giants/Cubs giving the Dodgers a huge lift during a big week of games. It wasn’t your normal rookies either, sure Corey Seager was brilliant once again, but this rookie week was filled with wonderful antics from unlikely sources. Monday – Dodgers crushed the Reds 18 -9 and sure Adrian …
Kris Bryant shows why he is the MVP frontrunner
I tried to make a case for Corey Seager the other day for MVP but after watching Kris Byrant slug two important home runs on Friday Night, the road sure got tougher. I was even playing with the idea of starting a daily checklist of who did what as we enter the last five weeks …
