On Sunday, the Los Angeles Dodgers lost just their second series since the All-Star break. While that may not seem like a big deal, the loss came at the hands of a team that the Dodgers could very well face in the postseason, the Atlanta Braves. Yes, the Dodgers have an 18.5-game lead in their […] More
The Dodgers have one of the best team defenses in baseball. They currently lead baseball with 93 defensive runs saved, however, most of that was with a solid defender in centerfield. While filling in for A.J. Pollock, Alex Verdugo took over in center and accumulated four defensive runs saved. By Statcast’s “outs above average” metric, […] More
The Dodgers have quite the lineup and collection of offensive players. Manager Dave Roberts is doing something right by not sticking to one distinct lineup everyday. It has worked for multiple years. The offense is on a historic pace at this point and so is the defense. Still, with a little bit more of proper […] More
Lifelong outfielder Joc Pederson has been taking ground balls at first base. It’s something he’s done in the past but never became relevant as he has zero career innings at the position. This isn’t the first time, but the Dodgers are working out Joc Pederson at first base. This looks more serious than the past, […] More
.211/.316/.353. That is the current slash line of Dodgers’ starting catcher Austin Barnes. His offense is 20 percent below league average (80 wRC+) and he shows no sign of a turnaround. 91 percent of major league players have a higher hard-hit rate than Barnes and 72 percent have a higher average exit velocity. His poor […] More
It’s finally time! Yes, it’s Opening Day in Los Angeles. Therefore, King Arthur is back and Camelot; system homestasis restored, all that good stuff. I wrote this post last year for Opening Day. It’s a decent little read about why time begins on Opening Day. Now, the Dodgers have an official lineup card out for […] More
As the Dodgers’ roster is currently constructed, they don’t have a “traditional” leadoff hitter. The favorite to leadoff is A.J. Pollock, but I already discussed why that wouldn’t be ideal, and Joc Pederson, who also isn’t ideal. But they do have the perfect leadoff hitter on their roster: Max Muncy. Muncy, a 28-year-old, left-handed hitter, […] More
When the Los Angeles Dodgers announced the signing of A.J. Pollock, many fans assumed he would leadoff for the team. On the surface, it makes some sense, but the team would be better off with him in the middle of the order. Pollock leading off makes sense because the Dodgers don’t currently have a traditional […] More
The 2018 Milwaukee Brewers have been a whole lot of fun to watch. The Brew Crew’s success lies on the shoulders of guys like Lorenzo Cain, slugger Jesus Aguilar, and most notably, MVP candidate Christian Yelich. This well-rounded lineup is the most consistent lineup in all of baseball. Where It All Started I believe that […] More
I’ve observed something over the last few games in regards to lineup construction. The trend I’ve noticed seems to lead to disadvantages in the late innings. For example, let’s take a look at the starting lineup for July 14th. 7-14-18 Dodgers starting nine:Taylor SSHernandez LFKemp RFMuncy 3BForsythe 2BBellinger 1BToles CFBarnes CWood P — Ron Cervenka […] More
Prior to the game, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts surprised many people on his starting lineup for Game 5 of the NLCS. Roberts always has an explanation for his madness since entering the 2016 postseason. How will this effect the Dodgers in the end? Dodgers Starting Lineup Enrique Hernandez – 2B Justin Turner – 3B Corey […] More
