Dodgers trade a plethora of prospects for a double play combination that might be the best in LAD history.
If Justin Turner can stay healthy enough to play most of the time for the rest of 2018, Brian Dozier and Manny Machado will be the Dodgers double play combination and for the life of me, I can’t think of a better combination in LAD history. The same could have been said if the combination …
Updated LAD World Series Home runs
Over the next week the Dodgers are sure to hit some important home runs. Below is a list of every LAD World Series home run. Some more memorable than others. 2017 Already: Joc Pederson hits his second World Series home run to give the Dodgers a 3 – 1 lead in game six. They ultimately …
36 years ago the Dodgers last played on Oct 24th
and it was one of the greatest World Series games in LAD history. The Yankees held a two games to one lead headed into the 4th game and they had knocked out the Dodger starter Bob Welch in the first inning. Welch only faced four batters giving up a triple, double, walk, and single before being …
Chris Taylor is what Dodger fans prayed for
You can’t really quantify the impact that Chris Taylor has had on the Dodger season. You could try it with fWAR but you would be missing the complete picture. Chris Taylor was a 2nd baseman when Logan Forsythe got hurt early Chris Taylor was a left fielder when Andrew Toles went down for the season …
Justin Turner and the LAD Postseason 3-Run Dong
Justin Turner isn’t just hitting home runs this postseason, he is hitting three-run home runs and is now the first Dodger to ever hit a three-run home run in both the NLDS and NLCS. The only other LAD with multiple three-run home runs in the postseason is Ron Cey who hit one in the 1978 and …
Adrian Gonzalez stuck on seven
With the news, last night that Adrian Gonzalez will be shut down for the rest of the season after his back tightened the chances of him being on a postseason roster are just about nil. Which is too bad in that Adrian Gonzalez has hit seven postseason home runs putting him in 2nd place behind …
The Monthly walk LAD leaderboard
With Yasiel Puig taking walks this month more than he has ever done before, I decided to bring back the leaderboard for walks in a month. Of course, Jimmy Wynn is on top, that was his bread and butter. How about the rest of the group that has managed at least twenty-three walks in a …
Ike Davis is the son of 1981 LAD World Series hero Ron Davis?
Ike Davis is getting some play today because of the news from Bill Shaikin that Ike is transitioning from a 1st baseman to a pitcher while in the Dodger organization. For months I’ve been asking why is Ike Davis in the Dodger organization? His days as a slugging 1st baseman were long gone, and the Dodgers …
Dicking around with LAD bWAR
With so many Dodgers having great seasons, while premature I thought it would be fun to check in on the all-time bWAR infield leaders for the Dodgers and see how the new brood is matching up. I used > 5 bWAR as the criteria Since bWAR is an accumulation stat the more you play the more you …
