Max Muncy is now in Manny Ramirez territory
Most Dodger fans can remember the impact that Manny Ramirez had on the Dodger franchise in the summer of 2008. Manny had the greatest run of any Dodger in history, putting up a 1.232 OPS after he was acquired dirt cheap in the summer of 2008. Max Muncy is now one of seven Dodgers to …
June Boom
Late to the party but time to put the Dodger June explosion into proper context. Last year the Dodgers set the monthly home run record for the franchise with 53 home runs in June. This June they broke that record monthly record with 55 home runs. Before last June the previous high mark for the …
Max Muncy and Dylan Covey have a bit in common besides that “y” at the end of their name.
Max Muncy and Dylan Covey were both drafted fairly high by the Oakland Athletics and both are now producing at the major league level for other organizations while Oakland got little to nothing in return. Most Dodger fans by now, know that Max Muncy was cut loose by the Oakland Athletics after being drafted by …
Evidently, Max Muncy can do everything
This is getting beyond the ridiculous. Max Muncy came into yesterday’s game with the best OPS+ of any National League hitter with at least 150 plate appearances. He had appeared in 23 games at 3rd base, 18 games at 1st base, and 5 games in the outfield. He started yesterday at 2nd base. And hit …
We are all living in Muncy town
At least Matt Kemp has done this before. I’m wagering this is the greatest 150 plate appearance stretch of Max Muncy’s professional career and he decided to do it, at the highest level. Baseball is weird, but this, this is beyond that. Player OPS+ OPS PA Year Age Tm Max Muncy 175 1.011 152 2018 …
Edwin Rios trying to make up for lost opportunity
By all rights, the call to Oklahoma for Max Muncy should have gone to Edwin Rios the 2016 Dodgers position prospect of the year. The problem for Rios was that he wasn’t at Oklahoma to accept the call, instead, he was rehabbing in Arizona. Rios could only think of what could have been as Max …
How do you play your five hottest hitters when you only have four positions for them?
The Dodgers have four positions for five very hot hitters. Matt Kemp has been here all along, Max Muncy announced himself in mid – April, Yasiel Puig joined the party in Mid May, Joc Pederson got the call last weekend, and Cody Bellinger showed up this week. The June numbers are ridiculous for these fab …
Max Muncy laughs at the MLB draft
Most of the baseball world will be looking at their new draft picks and salivating about things to come, and certainly, the Dodgers have done well enough in the draft to brag about the likes of 2016 ROY Corey Seager, 2017 ROY Cody Bellinger, and newest Dodger rookie sensation Walker Buehler. They were picked number …
Max Muncy doesn’t take Buehlers day off
but the rest of the Dodger offense did. Once again Max Muncy led the Dodger offense just as he has done most of May. Before Justin Turner returned last week and Puig got hot most of the May damage had come from the unlikely source of Max Muncy. It isn’t just an illusion as you …
