The Los Angeles Dodgers will begin a 4-game series vs. the San Diego Padres as pitcher Hyun-Jin Ryu returns to the mound. This will be Ryu’s first game back since 2014. This is also the Dodgers final home stand before the 2016 All-Star break.

  1. So Seager feels that he can do what some veterans like Agon could not do, and that is recover your natural swing that has put you on the ALL STAR team, after partisipating in the HR derby contest. I will be surprised if his second half of the season is anywhere near the first half. What’s  the definition for lnsanity? Why try it? His post All Star stats will make him look like someone else.
