What’s next? Cutch or Cain?
With the trade of the three onerous contracts this weekend the Dodgers have opened up some financial flexibility for 2018 even as they hope to stay under the luxury tax and reset the fines that MLB has been hitting the team with ever since they decided to be the $250M pound gorilla of major league baseball. Eric Stephen as always does a …
Dodgers have had limited success against Hendricks
Yu Darvish will need to be on this game tonight, as the current Dodger roster has had very little success against his opponent Kyle Hendricks. If history holds true, this should be a pitching matchup with the game once again decided by the bullpen. Particularly the left hand bats that you would expect to see …
LAD first half leaderboards – sOPS+
Oh look, Justin Turner again. To recap, Justin Turner has the best LAD first half in Batting Average, On-Base Percentage, and sOPS+. In other words, the red-bearded wonder is well on his way to having the greatest offensive season ever by a Los Angeles Dodger. And I thought he could be replaced!!!!!!!! This list is …
Grandal / Kemp lead LAD Total Base leaderboard against the Rockies at Dodger Stadium
Given how hot the Dodger offense is right now, and how badly the Rockie pitching is lately, I could easily see a scenario where this leaderboard gets updated on Monday morning. Yazmani Grandal has the best total base game ever against the Rockies, and he did it last September. Matt Kemp is the only other …
Talk about a rewrite
On Monday, June 19th I posted the best total base games by any Dodgers against the Mets at Dodger Stadium. At the time I was surprised to find that the Dodgers have never had a double-digit total base game with that criteria. That Monday night Cody Bellinger tied Gary Sheffield and Jim Lefebvre with the best …

No June Gloom for Dodgers
June Record 6 – 4 Overall Record 39 – 25 Position – 1 1/2 games back of the Rockies By sweeping the potent Reds the Dodgers moved over .500 for June and kept the Rockies in their sights. The Rockies won seven in a row until yesterday, so it was imperative the Dodgers make hey …
Usual suspects?
In this order of importance the usual suspects Clayton Kershaw, Cory Seager, Grandal, Puig, and Jansen kept the Dodgers from getting swept at home by the league-leading Washington Nationals. Through six innings, Kershaw had only given up a home run to Babe Zimmerman but otherwise kept the Nationals off the board. With Strasburg dealing it …
Shawn Green with 19 total bases in one game against Brewers
Only two Dodgers have ever had double digit total bases on the road against the Brewers. Even the most casual Dodger fan probably knows about the Shawn Green explosion on May 23rd, 2002. The single greatest game in the history of the Dodgers. Does anyone remember the Grandal game? Grandal had two singles, two home …
