The Chicken runs at midnight
The pressure to take over for one of the greatest voices in baseball history had to be daunting, I’m sure some would not even make the attempt, Dodger fans should consider themselves lucky that Joe Davis decided to uproot his Midwestern family and take them West. This weekend has given Joe plenty of fodder to …
Dodgers own the lineup positions
We all know that Yasiel Puig has been the best number eight hitter in baseball but when Joe Davis said that Chris Taylor has been the best leadoff hitter in baseball that made me turn to Fangraphs and use the batting position split tool to find out how the rest of the lineup stacks up. I …
Of course he did
Joe Davis called it right “Of course he did” as Cody Bellinger added to his legendary season by hitting for the cycle in Miami tonight, and he did it the hard way, hitting a triple to complete the cycle. I’m extremely pleased because he replaces Orlando Hudson as the last Dodger to hit for the …
The Campaign Continues
Dodger fans at the game tonight were treated to Orel Hershiser and Justin Turner putting on the Ritz as they combined on the Nations birthday with a memorable moment. At the same time, Dodger fans listening to Joe Davis got a glimpse why he is filling the big shoes of Vin Scully very well. Orel took …
Did the Dodgers snag George Springer for nothing?
Jeff Sullivan did an exhaustive look at the stats of Chris Taylor for Fangraphs on Tuesday. Joe Davis mentioned the story last night either before or after Chris Taylor crushed a home run to deep left field. Joe mentioned that the writer came to the conclusion that the hitter that most Chris Taylor most resembles …
The time was right for Joe Davis
Part of the reason I stopped being a Laker fan was because of the loss of Chick Hearn. I often wondered if the same would happen when Vin Scully was no longer calling Dodger games. Those were the only voices I’d heard from age 12 on up. They were part of my Los Angeles DNA. …
This is how you lose five of six with an ERA of 1.50
Joe Davis was wondering how the Cardinals could be losers of five of their last six games when the rotation had an ERA of 1.50. Which made me wonder. This is how: May 16th – Lose to Boston 6 – 3. Lance Lynn starts, gives up only two earned runs but four total runs. The …
Dodgers lose but many things go right tonight
Even with the Dodgers losing a tough one-run game to the Giants tonight, many things outside of their control went right. The Rockie rotation showed their shaky side as they got lit up for the second straight game by the Nationals. Overall the Rockies gave up twenty-six runs in two games, with the rotation being …
Broadcast Notes 4/4/17
Listening to Joe Davis and Orel telling stories, so I thought it might be fun to document them for those who don’t have Spectrum. When Ross Stripling entered the game in relief of Kenta Maeda, we learned a little more about Ross. He was a walk on at Texas A&M and only went there for …
Get ready for a year without Vinny
Good thing Joe Davis showed up last year or this wouldn’t be as easy to write about. Joe has an easy way about him and surprisingly was not only pleasant to listen too, he was insightful and playful with his team. I’ve tried to give Charley Steiner and Rick Monday a pass but I simply …
