Cody Bellinger’s other gift

When Dodgers rookie sensation Cody Bellinger steps to the plate, there’s a pretty good chance that you are going to see him hit a home run. In fact, with his current National League best 24 home runs in his 248 major league plate appearances, he is averaging one home run for every 9.7 plate appearances, […]

Bellinger wise beyond his years – Middleton, not so much

To a degree it was understandable. After all, 23-year-old Angels rookie right-hander Keynan Middleton has only been in the major leagues for all of eight weeks, having made his major league debt with the halos on May 8, 2017 – almost two weeks to the day after Dodgers rookie phenom Cody Bellinger made his major league […]

Time for Dodger (and Bellinger) fans to plan ahead

By every indication, Dodgers rookie phenom Cody Bellinger is a lock to participate in this year’s All-Star Game Home Run Derby. In fact, he recently said so himself. “I’m pretty sure I’ll be in it, but they still haven’t asked me yet.” We then got a laugh when I asked him who they are. “I […]

A new and improved Yasiel Puig

We’ve all seen it, at least those of us who have taken the time to look for it. Dodgers right fielder Yasiel Puig has finally grown into the baseball player that we all hoped he would one day become; except for the Puig haters, of course. Oh sure, the 26-year-old Cienfuegos, Cuba native still has his moments, […]

Alex Wood is better than you think

In a recent article, Washington Post reporter Neil Greenberg wrote that Washington Nationals right-hander Max Scherzer “is overtaking Clayton Kershaw as MLB’s best pitcher.” While it is impossible to argue that the 32-year-old Scherzer isn’t having a Cy-Young-caliber 2017 season, calling the two-time Cy Young award winner a better overall pitcher than Dodgers ace and four-time […]

Cody has a multi-home run game – but not the Cody you’re thinking of

A Dodger named Cody had a multi-home run game on Friday afternoon but it wasn’t Cody Bellinger and it wasn’t your typical multi-home run game. Allow me to explain. It all started on Thursday evening at Dow Diamond in Midland Michigan when Dodgers outfield prospect Cody Thomas slugged a solo home run in the second […]
