Dodgers 2017

Dodgers finally starting to come alive, specifically when this kid got called up.

Cody Bellinger, age 21 n ow taking over first base a couple weeks while Wallie Pip... eeerrr I mean Adrian Gonzales is on the DL.

No pressure but this kid has it:

Hope he continues to succeed, what a nucleus they would form with Bellinger and Corey Seager.

Go Blue!

Heading towards July and things are looking up in Los Angeles. Cody Bellinger now at an incredible 24 HRs and 58 RBIs since his call up. We may see him in the Home Run Derby at the AS break. Kershaw with 12 wins, Alex Wood at 8-0 (Thanks Atlanta!) Kenley Jansen dominating as the closer.

The best record in the National League only gets you a 2.5 game lead in a tough NL West though, still much more work to do. Go Blue!

Dodgers continue to play consistent and get great starting pitching, then their bullpen holds opponents until they find a way to win as witnessed in 11 innings versus the Giants Sunday.

Now Darvish is on the way to LA.

Be interesting to see how the mounting pressure of no World Series Championships in 3 decades affects this team. As Chicago said last year, "If not now, when?".

    • Cam was hitting his stride as a QB in 2017/2018.     This is why I think stats like completion percentage are overrated. As long as a QB is clutch and makes the throws to win the game the rest doesn’t really matter. What good is a check down stat padder if they’re a choker.  Until Norv Turner (and briefly Chud) got here we put Cam in high pressure throwing situations all the time. We also ran the ball on first down more than most teams in the NFL in the Ron era. Coupled with shitty WRs, all that is expressed in his stats. I also assume Cam took the ball in his hands on many occasions rather than trust Funchess to catch the ball.    It was also never Cams job to play the game like someone else. His presence on the field dictated the game in a way that is rarely seen.  He showed he could play the dink and dunk game just before TJ Watt. That didn’t suddenly make him better than his earlier seasons. He just got put in a legit under center  passing game again for first time since his rookie year with Chud.    Ron took the quickest path to success and abused the RPO because his ass was about to get fired.    Cam never got the credit for being the cerebral player that he was. I just think when you are legitimately a human Superman, sometimes the best play is having the ball in your hands. He was a better passer than Delhomme was. 
    • I don't think Canales has any problem benching Bryce or moving on if Bryce doesn't come out playing like the end of last year.  It's year 3 no more excuses for Bryce
    • Yea Bryce was definitely a top half qb the second half of last season but I'm not sure Canales is 100% sold on him.  Like I've said in another post I think that's part of why we talked to so many South Carolina players in the draft process.  I think they are doing early due diligence on Sellers just in case.
