Third time the charm?
The Dodgers will be sending Rich Hill to the mound for the third time this postseason, and for the 3rd time, they will be hoping for some semblance of the pitcher who wowed them in early September. It is almost as though when Dave Roberts pulled Rich Hill from his perfect game on Sept 10th 2016, …
Good time for the FO manuevering to pay off
The Dodger front office has their hands all over this fifth game. Their top trade deadline acquisition will be starting and trying to prove that trading three pitching prospects for a blister on a hill was the right move. All Rich Hill has to do is what he did last Sunday but for more than twelve …
Giants / Dodgers give possible rotational postseason preview
As the Giants come into town for their most important series, the Dodgers will be throwing at them what should be the exact same three pitchers that the Nationals will see when the NLDS series opens. Even the order might be the same as Kershaw / Hill / Maeda are scheduled to pitch the three-game …
This is insane!!! De Leon / Urias / Kershaw
Pitching in Yankee Stadium in the middle of September, in the middle of a pennant race. Sure, we all envisioned this could happen in 2018, optimistic folk might have felt it could happen in 2017. Yet, this is 2016. The future is already here and it came blazingly fast On the mound last night was …
Now that was a Saturday Night game to stay home for
Some games have a little of something, and some games have a lot of something and this game had a lot of everything. First of all the Dodgers won 5 – 0 keeping the Giants four games back which is a good thing because it looks like the Giants rediscovered how to use a bat. …
It took a month but the deadline deal for Hill/Reddick is starting to pay dividends
Rich Hill’s blister and Josh Reddick’s month long slump were the subjects of humor and laughter in August but as the calendar turns to September the Dodger front office may get the last laugh. Rich Hill did make one start in August, and it was a beauty, and he has followed that up with an …
After the Rich Hill debut, which column will he fall into, Greg Maddux or Brad Penny?
When it comes to tradeline debuts Brad Penny is the one that always comes to my mind for several reasons. When DePodesta traded for Penny in 2004 it was a huge gamble as he traded the most popular player on the Dodgers (Paul LoDuca) without securing a proper backup catcher when Charles Johnson decided he didn’t …
Schebler & Peraza torment team that traded them to no avail
They both have hit a home run, and they both have hit a double so far this series. In total, they had 14 hits, while driving in six runs, and scoring six times. It did seem that Peraza was on base every time in the three games he played. Yet the Dodgers still won the …
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 …
Should Rich Hill be allowed to take the Hill on Friday?
Have to admit I don’t quite get that Rich Hill is the scheduled pitcher on Friday. Rich Hill has not pitched since July 7th, and Friday will be August 12th. Who goes a whole month without pitching and doesn’t throw a rehab game before pitching in a major league game again? The man has been …
