There is no right answer here. But, the fact of the matter is that no rookie in the history of baseball has matched what one Cody Bellinger has done in less than 100 games! Cody Bellinger has 34 home runs in 97 games and is likely the best 1B in all of baseball. He s fast, he s gifted and he s a Future Hall-of-Famer (I guarantee it or your money back). Mike
Doc is what is up! Dave Roberts, who in his rookie season as the Dodger s manager, won the Manager of the Year Award is a shoo-in to do it again in his second year. He s so far ahead, there s not a second place. Of course, FAZ gave him an embarrassment of riches, but he has managed it almost flawlessly. I still know of three or four morons who criticize FAZ
You know, we all have ideas about what the Dodgers should do with their lineup. I want to dump Joc. Others want to move Puig up in the order. Some want to bench Logan Forsythe. I must say this: Everyone got their wish when Chris Hatchet was traded, but I think we all have to remember that this team is 50 games over .500. They are playing the best baseball
I am all for trying new things, but sometimes things don t work out as planned. For instance, Yasiel Puig is arguably the best Right Fielder in baseball and has played CF at times, but has not played it very well. From what I have seen, he does not have good instincts in CF. In my opinion, the centerfielder should be the fastest runner. Puig isn t, although he is faster than
Let me start this off by saying that I believe Chris Taylor is a better Centerfielder than Joc Pederson RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW! Joc is much slower than Chris and maybe he runs better routes, but he is in no way an elite CF. Chris has had little outfield experience but has become a very good LF and lets not forget the first catch he ever made in CF. Joc
Ross Stripling should be better than he is. In 50+ innings this year, he has given up 6 HR after giving up 10 home runs last year in 100 innings. Also, I hear that Ross is not very happy being a reliever he sees himself as a starter, but he really needs to learn how to pitch better. His stuff does not play well up in the zone. Ross
In 1988, the Dodgers played the Mets eleven times during the regular season and lost ten times! Did that mean anything? No! In the playoffs that year, the Dodgers took four out of seven games from the Mets to win the NL Pennant. The Mets 10-1 record against the Dodgers didn t mean a thing! The Mets won 100 games that year. The Oakland A s won 104 games that same season
The Dodgers bullpen held fast last night and Alex Wood did his part to help beat Greinke and the D-Bags. It wasn t pretty but our cleanup hitter banged out his 33rd Home Run and our 2nd cleanup hitter drive in another run. If 4th is cleanup, then 8th is second cleanup right? It was good to see Joc get a solid double as well. If he can get it
He s not gone yet. Farhan is still the Dodgers General Manager, but he is as good as gone because of the Dodgers success several teams will want to hire him as their President of Baseball Operations and he will go because they will pay him a lot of money and he will be in complete control. That is likely what he dreams of and has been waiting for. It won t
It looks like Mark has not had a chance to generate a new post, so I thought I would step in and post something that I was looking at to get a different conversation going. Wilmer Font has got to be a huge consideration for a September call up, and should be a major consideration for a bullpen spot next year. He now leads the PCL with 160 Ks in
With three straight outings of seven innings during which time he has only allowed 2 earned runs, Hyun-Jin Ryu is officially back to the guy we used to have. His velocity is back, his curve is wicked and his control is pinpoint. He now has pitched 91.2 innings and his ERA is down to 3.53 and falling. His ERA is better than these starters: Carlos Martinez Alex Cobb Chris Archer
Yu Darvish did not disappoint Friday night. I have to admit that I flat out did not want him (because he would most likely be a pure rental). But, Hawkeye Dodger and a couple of others, kept clamouring for him and then the Dodgers finally traded for him and the rest is history. Clayton Kershaw would be the Ace on any team in baseball. Yu Darvish would be the Ace
