Saying good-bye to another old friend
I always expected Ryu to resign with the Dodgers so the news that Ryu signed with Toronto was a big surprise for me and it means that for the second year in a row one of my favorite Dodgers will not be wearing the Dodger blue as we head into the next season. I don’t …
Walker Buehler is on the board
At the beginning of the year, I thought Walker Buehler would be in the Cy Young conversation but as April turned to May that thought was long gone from my memory. On June 21st, Walker reminded me why I had such lofty thought for him when he pitched a complete game with sixteen strikeouts. I …
Dennis Santana about to go where no Dodger has ever gone before.
The pressure over making your first major league start must be heady stuff, but imagine making your first major league start at Coors Field? That is what Dennis Santana is going to do tonight and no Dodger has ever done this. Below are the Dodger who have made starts at Coors within their first five …
Kenta Maeda has the best two game stretch in his three year career
Fresh off of his best game ever in the major leagues, Kenta followed it up with another gem giving him a two-game, game score total of 164, by far his best two games back to back. Kenta has had only five games out of sixty-six starts with a game score >= 75 and two of …
LAD first half leadersboards – sOPS+ against
If you thought Alex Wood was having a season that could be used in the same breath as Sandy Koufax and Clayton you are correct. 12 LAD seasons from a pitcher with a first half sOPS+ against of 50 or less. Kershaw and Koufax have had six of them. Alex Wood joins Jerry Reuss as …
Ron LeFlore makes a surprising appearance
As I do these leaderboards, I’m learning two things. Hideo Nomo and Shawn Green had some monster games as Dodgers. No Dodger has ever had a double digit total base game against the Washington Nationals at Dodger Stadium, but if we include the Montreal Expo franchise we can find three Dodgers who did the trick. …
Hideo Nomo once again on top of a game score leaderboard against an opponent.
Hideo Nomo finds himself on top once again with his two hitter on May 24th, 2003. Only three Dodgers have managed a game score above 80 against the Brewers on the road. That is kind of light. Chan Ho Park will probably be sitting on top the strikeout leaderboard against the Brewers on the road. …
Best K games against Cardinals at Dodger Stadium – The Lefties own it
This isn’t a surprise, to be honest I expect Kershaw and Koufax to be at the top of this list every time. Which is why it was refreshing to see Nomo and Fernando hit the top now and then to change things up. This list really is a who’s who of LAD pitching mountaintop. Good …
