My buddy Hris almost got his Braun
So, this is interesting. A look at what the Dodgers almost gave up to acquire Ryan Braun: https://t.co/hzOs3lCAga pic.twitter.com/m4RYZHzYUt — Matt Borelli (@MattDodgerBlue) September 11, 2016 Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports and MLB Network was first to report that the Brewers had claimed Puig on revocable trade waivers and engaged the Dodgers in trade talks. …
Boatload of outfield options awaits Roberts
With Andre Ethier joining the team this weekend and playing left field on Sunday, an already crowded outfield just got more crowded. The Dodgers now have seven legitimate outfield options, and lucky for Dave Roberts just about all have of them have severe platoon splits. Unfortunately for Dave Roberts based on the numbers he still …
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. …
Dodgers two-headed platoon in RF is tearing it up in September
Right field was a black hole for the Dodgers in August, with Josh Reddick having one of the worst months in LAD history this century for an outfielder, and Yasiel Puig doing his thing in AAA. The only saving grace for the month was the work of Toles who came up on August 21st. September …
An almost perfect Puig and a plethora of pitchers are too much for the Diamondbacks Ray of sunshine
Puig ruined my headline by making an out in his final at-bat but that was his only fault on a night when he reminded Dodger fans once again that they now have a potent right-hand bat back in the lineup against left-hand pitching. For the second time in the past four games Puig blasted a …
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 …
LAD Grand Slams within their first 25 games
When Andrew Toles hit his momentous grand slam last night he did it in his 25th career game. Which left me wondering what other LAD have hit a grand slam in their first 25 games. We all remember Yasiel Puig hitting his first grand slam in his 4th game. Alex Guerrero did it in his 13th …
Josh Reddick just isn’t measuring up
You’d be hard pressed to find a Dodger regular this century who has had a worse month than Josh Reddick has had in August. For a team used to the heroics of Justin Ruggiano, Juan Rivera, Marlon Anderson, and Belliard after being acquired for the stretch run, the failure of Reddick to launch has been …
Schebs and Kemp go boom boom & boom
I can’t help but LIMH when a player I like has a big day. Tonight Scott Schebler and Matt Kemp made me smile as the two ex-Dodger right fielders wrecked havoc upon their competition. Matt Kemp helped the Dodgers by blasting a three run run home run to lead the Braves to a 3 – …
