This wasn’t how I drew up the Dodger season
Kind of expected the Dodgers to eventually be the best team in the West but I’ll be honest I kind of figured that meant: 1. Adrian Gonzalez was the 1st baseman 2. Andrew Toles was the LF 3. Chris Taylor was in AAA 4. Cody Bellinger was in AAA 5. Urias had settled in as …
Dodgers newest weapon – the Piggyback
With the plethora of starting pitching who can’t pitch past the fifth inning, the Dodgers may have found a way to turn a struggling asset into a strength. Two weeks ago when they moved Ryu to the bullpen he piggybacked with Kenta Maeda to give the Dodgers a 7 – 3 victory over the Cardinals. …
Which one of these guys is the relief pitcher?
If you start with the premise that Clayton Kershaw is still the ace, That the NL May Pitcher of the Month Alex Wood is the number two, and Brandon McCarthy is the 3rd part of the rotation you are still left with four pitchers fighting over two rotation spots. The decision to send Ryu to the …

The ball finds you
Chris Taylor made his first ever start in CF last night and on the second pitch, Fowler hit a deep drive to straight away CF that seemed destined for a leadoff double or triple, but Chris Taylor tracked it down and leaped at the wall to snare the out leading Joe Davis to exclaim “The …
Can Rich Hill break DL losing streak?
So far in 2017, each pitcher that has started for the Dodgers after being on the 10-day DL have lost their first start. Strangely enough, it started with Rich Hill who had made only start in 2017 before he found his way on the 10-Day-DL. He came back to start on 4/16 and lost 3 …
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 …
