Fab Five Dodgers
This is two days too late to properly asses how much Yasiel Puig was beloved by Dodger fans but it is something I wanted to do this week. Back in February of 2010 Michael White wrote for TrueBlueLA and did a fab five edition in which each of the regulars or even the semi-regulars commentators …
Surprisingly, Harper is still on Dodger radar
On the surface, a match of the Dodgers and Harper does not seem like something you’d expect from a team who has more outfielders than they have spots on the roster. You could make a case the Puig/Bellinger/Taylor/Joc/Kemp/Verdugo/Toles/Hernandez are all at least average, running from average (Toles, Kemp, Hernandez), to above average (Joc, Puig, Taylor, …
Just your typical World Series game three victory
If you expected Walker Buehler to show why he’s already the ace of this team you were not disappointed. As one time World Series hero Adam Wainwright tweeted: I guarantee that anybody who played against or saw @buehlersdayoff pitch this season isn’t surprised at all by how he’s pitching tonight. Hands down best stuff I …
Justin Turner the gift that keeps on giving
Justin Turner is the most important cog of the 2018 Dodgers and the biggest reason why the Dodgers are headed to Fenway to battle the Red Sox for the 2018 World Championship. The proof is really in the pudding when you consider the Dodgers record on May 16th, and the Dodgers record after Justin Turner …
From 16 – 26 to Fenway
Many fans panicked back in May when the Dodgers were 16 – 26 and things looked bleak. I didn’t because I don’t understand the point of panic, of losing hope, of giving up. These aren’t just empty words as I bask in the Dodgers headed back to the World Series, I write these ideas down …
A year ago………
Watching the Dodgers win their 3rd straight division series led by the likes of Max Muncy, Pedro Baez, Yazmani Grandal, David Freeze, and Manny Machado I couldn’t help but wonder at how much everything stays the same, and how it all changes from one year to the next. At this time a year ago Max …
Stripling / Muncy dominate “first-half” awards
It is strange to call something the first half when ninety-six games have already been played and only sixty-six games remain in the “second half” but that is what MLB has decided is our season. With that in mind, the Dodgers needed all ninety plus games in the first half to climb into first place …
Max Muncy is a horrible pinch hitter
and that is the only negative thing you can say about the Max. As of July 5th, 2018 Max Muncy has the highest wRC+ for National LeagueL 1st baseman, 2nd baseman, and 3rd baseman. Super small sample size may be in play for 2nd base but it is what it is. Position wRC+ BB% OBP …
