Wood / Urias / Maeda sweep away Pirates
The unlikely trio blew through the anemic Pirate offense to give the Dodgers a much-needed sweep as they head into Colorado for an early season bruhaha with the first place Rockies. To accomplish the sweep the trio put up some personal accomplishments: The first time Maeda pitched into the 9th inning Heck, it was the …
Rotation has turned on a dime
With that seven-inning masterpiece by Kenta Maeda last night, the Dodger starting rotation starting with Brandon McCarthy has been brilliant over the past six games. In five of the six games, each starter has walked only one hitter with Urias having the only blemish. That helps if you want to get more than fifteen outs per …
Kenta Maeda looks to pull a Tanaka

Hatcher and Stripling survive final cuts
Adam Liberatore and Josh Fields were optioned to the minors yesterday giving the Dodgers their full pitching staff. Not quite full with Baez headed to the DL. The pitching staff looks set for the time being, but it won’t be long before changes are made. Starting Rotation – Kershaw, Maeda, Hill, Ryu, McCarthy Right-Hand Bullpen …
Kershaw 33/1 to win MVP
Bovada odds came out today and this one jumped out at me. The 2014 MVP Clayton Kershaw is at 33/1. I know pitchers don’t win MVP awards, but this guy already did, and it is the NL, and he could easily be the best player in the NL again in 2017. Corey Seager is 12/1 …
Rotisserie rotation
Rotisserie drafts are about to start in earnest and preceding these drafts are all sorts of analysis about who to draft and why. I’ve already finished two drafts and will be finishing up a 3rd this week. I peruse Rotowire, BaseballHQ, and Fangraphs to help me get a leg up or at least stay relevant. …
Rotational Depth?
Depending on who you ask the Dodgers have plenty of pitching or not enough. This comes up because as the Dozier talks heat up I hear several arguments. The Dodgers should be targeting more pitching not hitting The Dodgers should not be trading almost major league talents like De Leon and Stewart for hitting even …
Corey Seager is a MVP finalist
It was already a given that Corey Seager would win the NL ROY award so it was no surprise when MLB announced their top three candidates for the MVP, ROY, CYA, and Manager of the Year finalists that Seager was one of the three for the NL ROY. NL Jackie Robinson Rookie of the Year: …
Kenta not Kershaw
will start for the Dodgers in Game 5. A fairly controversial decision given how poorly Kenta Maeda has pitched in his last four starts. He has yet to have a decent postseason game, and Kershaw just won his last game 1 – 0. You can see the reasons for either choice: Kenta – Pros He’s much …
