See you in March, Mr. McCarthy
Any chance of Brandon McCarthy making the postseason roster went up in smoke last night. A sad ending to a tough year for the good-natured McCarthy. He started the season in rehabilitation over the TJ surgery he had last spring and surprised everyone by being able to pitch his first major league game of 2016 on …
Urias ends season needing one more K
to tie Ralph Branca for most strikeouts for a Dodger by the end of their age 19 baseball season. Obviously, Julio Urias holds the LAD record for most strikeouts for a LAD by the end of his 19-year-old baseball season, having passed Joe Moeller months ago. Joe had 46 and his record stood since 1964. …
No one expected the cavalry to be the kiddie corps
but that is what happened when the original calvary all came up lame while Clayton was shelved. At first, it was going to be Ryu then McCarthy, then Anderson. None of them survived their charge and all went back to the DL they came from. Instead, it was rookies Urias / Stewart / Stripling who rode …
Four consecutive games Rookie rotation checks in once again
Per the Dodger pregame notes: According to Stats, LLC, prior to last week, the Dodgers hadn’t pitched four consecutive rookie starters since they were in Brooklyn, Sept. 8-10, 1952 (Ken Lehman, Billy Loes, Ray Moore, Johnny Rutherford). In a span of two weeks, the Dodgers will have four rookies make consecutive starts. Starting on Aug …
Jose De Leon finally gets his shot
No one thought back in March that the Dodgers number two pitching prospect Jose De Leon would be finally making his first major league start, long after Ross Stripling, Julio Urias, and Brock Stewart had made their’s, but his day has finally come. De Leon has done everything he could do to get this opportunity …
Rookies Brock the week
The Dodger rookies faced down the Reds/Giants/Cubs giving the Dodgers a huge lift during a big week of games. It wasn’t your normal rookies either, sure Corey Seager was brilliant once again, but this rookie week was filled with wonderful antics from unlikely sources. Monday – Dodgers crushed the Reds 18 -9 and sure Adrian …
Day time Adrian Gonzalez ready to rumble
I knew Adrian was doing great work during the day but I didn’t know until the Dodger notes came out this morning that he has been the best day time hitter in baseball this year: González leads the Majors in batting average in day games, hitting .395 (51-for-129) with a .448 on-base percentage, 12 doubles, …
Merry Go Round Rotation
One day Rich Hill is pitching one day he is not. Over and over the merry go round goes, when Rich Hill will actually pitch no one knows. Might as well call him Scratch Hill at this point. The Dodgers have had two constants in the rotation all year, Kenta Maeda and Scott Kazmir. Having …
Urias scoreless streak ends and Baseball America notes on Mitch Hansen, Johan Mieses
Julio Urias AAA scoreless streak came to an end last night when he pitched in relief and gave up two runs in two innings. The streak started on April 28th and ended on July 26th. Even though the streak lasted almost three months it was only 29 innings because of the time he spent with …
Adam Liberatore J.P. Howell hand in left handed hand
Adam Liberatore is breaking LAD scoreless appearance records in 2016 that J.P. Howell was setting in 2015. Adam has appeared in 38 games this year, and given up a run only one time. He’s made 24 straight scoreless appearances. His strand rate is 92%. He’s been what J.P Howell was last year at just about …
