Grandal and Joc
As the Dodgers wind down September baseball, two huge reasons for optimism this October are the play of Grandal and Pederson. Last year the Dodgers were pretty much on the same pace but the team had two black holes in the lineup every time Grandal and Pederson were in it. Not this year, they are …
Toles now 15 – 3 in games started
and 8 – 1 since being recalled on August 21st. The only time the LAD have lost when Andrew Toles has started since August 21st was the brilliant performance by Jose Fernandez at his home field in Miami. Toles showed off one his many tools last night when he threw out Tomas from left field …
Boatload of outfield options awaits Roberts
With Andre Ethier joining the team this weekend and playing left field on Sunday, an already crowded outfield just got more crowded. The Dodgers now have seven legitimate outfield options, and lucky for Dave Roberts just about all have of them have severe platoon splits. Unfortunately for Dave Roberts based on the numbers he still …
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. …
Willie Calhoun and the historical 21st century AA LAD affiliate Home Run Leaderboard
Willie Calhoun slugged his 2oth home run last night so I thought it would be a good time to take a look at all the LAD AA affiliate home run leaders in the 21st century. It is only July 20th, and Willie looks like a good bet to at least end up the 2nd highest …
LAD All-Stars 2000 – 2017, Clayton Kershaw era
Here is a link to all of the LAD All-Stars. Quick 21st-century LAD All-Star notes: The most all-stars this century are the current six in 2017 The Dodgers have a rookie all-star three years in a row with Joc Pederson, Corey Seager, and Cody Bellinger. This will be Kershaw’s 7th straight all-star appearance. Andre Ethier, …
Corey Seager holding court
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 …
No matter which All-Star plays CF for the Dodgers in 2014, “putrid” is the word
The Dodgers have had three major league all-stars, and one minor league Pacific Coast League player of the year take their turn in CF, and all have been found wanting in various degrees. First up was Matt Kemp, who did the job offensively even if it was not at the level of his previous offensive …
Pederson / Schebler / Chigbogu take minor league home run crowns but maybe Julian Leon is the name to remember
I doubt this has ever been done before. I did some research and could not find any year where three players associated with the Dodgers led their respective league in home runs. In this case each of these players are at a minimum age appropriate for their league, so not a case of 29-year-old Brock …
Series Preview – new look Diamondbacks, all rookie outfield come to town
When the Dodgers and Arizona faced off at the beginning of the year down under, it was expected that Arizona would be some competition for the Dodgers for 1st place instead of battling with everyone for last place. Nothing has gone right for the Diamondbacks since the trip to down under, and the team that …
