Last time Kenta Maeda faced Noah Syndergaard, things didn’t go so well for the Dodgers righty. Syndergaard practically singlehandedly won that game for the Mets, homering off of Maeda twice and driving in all four New York runs in the process. The first home run came off of an 89 MPH fastball: The second home run was…

On this episode of “Dugout Blues,” Jared Massey (Dodger Blue) and I try to make sense of all the losing the Dodgers did over the last week. It was a lot. The offense was inexplicably horrific against the Marlins and Padres. Thank goodness for that Clayton Kershaw fella on Sunday. Everyone is struggling, but none moreso…
I’ve been staunchly against this, but it it’s looking more and more possible with each passing bullpen meltdown. There is every chance Julio Urias is promoted in September to pitch out of the Dodgers’ bullpen. It’s the headline-making move and it might be the right move. I’m still a little on the fence about it,…
Towards the end of last season, I wrote a post on Pedro Baez after his late-season call-up. Baez had looked impressive in high-leverage situations, generating six shutdowns (+6% win probability added in a game) while having no meltdowns (-6% win probability added). J.P. Howell was starting to falter, so the Dodgers had gone from two…
Well, that game felt pretty good. After two games of continued struggles against the Giants, the Dodgers reversed their fortunes against their rivals in a big way on national television, winning 10-2. The Dodgers got to Tim Lincecum early and often tonight. Lincecum has been beating his peripherals all year and it finally caught up to…
