All the young dudes
Much like the Cubs of 2016, the Dodgers great season is being fueled by youth. The team is 50 games over .500 and the lineup is loaded with players 26 or younger. Chris Taylor and Yasiel Puig are both 26 Joc Pederson is 25 Corey Seager is 23 Cody Bellinger is 21 Five of the …
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 …
LAD First half leaderboards – Home Runs
Was kind of hoping that Cody Bellinger would knock Gary Sheffield off the top of this leaderboard but his prodigious home run power fell off in July. Bellinger ends up tied with Eric Karros for 3rd place with twenty-five home runs. I wish I could remember the great first half that Karros had in 2000 …
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 …

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 …
Dodgers hitters roll through Ohio
Overall Record – 44/26 June Record – 11/5 Position – 1 game back of Rockies Highlights of June so far: The Dodgers swept the Reds at Dodger Stadium and on the road in a span of ten days, and they did it without Clayton Kershaw pitching in any of the six games. They have won …
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 …
Puig – Nobody – Pederson – Seager – Bellinger
Home runs are up all over baseball and nowhere is that more apparent than at Dodger Stadium where rookie after rookie keep launching home runs. Prior to 2014, the most LAD rookie home runs was the magic 35 by Mike Piazza in 1993. The 2nd most was 23 by Frank Howard back in 1960 before …
