Seager hits a home run, time to update the Seager HR leaderboard

♦ July 1, 2016 ♦ Leave a comment

Amid the doom and gloom of what a “mild herniation” means,  Corey Seager launched his team-leading 17th home run today. That moves Seager past Raul Mondesi and into a tie with Billy Grabarkewitz, the Witz kid of 1970. LAD Rookie Home Run Leaderboard Player HR Year Age PA OPS Pos Mike Piazza (RoY-1st) 35 1993 …

LAD – by the numbers 06/29/16

♦ June 29, 2016 ♦ Leave a comment

Adrian Gonzalez loves Miller park so much that in 136 plate appearances  he has the highest BA (.420), highest OBP (.507),  and highest slugging percentage (.795) of his career at Miller park.  No wonder that last night he might have broken out of his season-long slump by getting on base five times via three hits, …

LAD – By the numbers 06/25/16

Dodgers six-game winning streak was snapped,  but with Puig’s home run, the Dodgers have now homered in fourteen consecutive games. The last time the Dodgers hit fourteen consecutive home runs was in June of 2001. In June of 1977,  the team hit home runs in fifteen consecutive games.  That was the team that had four …

♦ June 23, 2016 ♦ Leave a comment

Last night Corey Seager blasted his sixteenth home run of the year,  and now can say hi to Raul Mondesi.  Raul Mondesi was the NL Rookie of the Year in 1994, and had a Puig like career with the Dodgers before being traded for Shawn Green. I got all my information from Baseball-Reference but it appears …

Before Cory Seager there was Billy Grabarkewitz

♦ June 22, 2016 ♦ 6 Comments

[update to reflect final season stats for Seager, found at bottom] Cory Seager is getting all the attention these days, and the rookie SS deserves it. In 1970 Billy Grabarkewitz was making the same kind of impact for the LAD. Billy Grabarkewitz was not a rookie in 1970 but just like Corey Seager in 2016, 1970 …

Corey Seager keeping pace with Piazza

♦ June 14, 2016 ♦ Leave a comment

The LAD offense continued to sputter last night but not Corey Seager who launched a massive home run to right center against ex – Dodger Grienke.  Legend has it that Grienke was pleased when the Dodgers drafted Seager, to bad he didn’t stick around to pitch with him behind him. Seager’s 15th home run moved …

Trayce Thompson – Steal of the Deal

♦ June 8, 2016 ♦ Leave a comment

With Andre hurt, Puig struggling, and Crawford now gone, it is a good thing the Dodgers pulled the trigger on the three-way trade that brought Thompson to the Dodgers. Frankie Montas was supposed to be the key to this deal and may still be, but right now Thompson has been the steal of the deal. …

Five days ago Corey Seager had hit nine home runs and was just about to crack the LAD leaderboard for home runs by a shortstop. Since then, Corey blasted five more home runs and is poised to break all sorts of records this June. For now he can be satisfied with having the fourth most …

♦ October 10, 2014 ♦ Leave a comment

The AFL opened this week and so far two games have been played.  All eyes are on how the Dodgers use Corey this fall. Will he play all his games at SS? Will he start the transition to 3rd? How the Dodgers perceive Seager probably determines what they do with the major league roster. Seager …

Dodger Briefs – Aug 20th, 2014

♦ August 20, 2014 ♦ Leave a comment

Prospect Jose De Leon hurled a game score gem of 78 last night.  In what might have been the best minor league game pitched all season, De Leon hurled six shutout innings, struck out fourteen, nary a walk, only four hits. In two starts since being promoted to the Loons of the Midwest League, De …
