Los Angeles Dodgers Case Study

The Houston Astros have been making deals to improve their team, and avoid another collapse like the one they had last season. Their bullpen could not finish the year strong after being one of the best in baseball throughout the season. The bullpen, also, collapsed in game four of the ALCS against the eventual champions. The Royals could not hit Lance McCullers, but once he was removed with one out in the seventh inning, Kansas City 's offense got it going.

The first base for the Los angeles Dodgers is Cody bellinger he was the first person to hit ten home runs to start off a season of baseball in the MLB.Cody first started when he was about 19 or 20 years old he plays for the Los Angeles Dodgers which I think is a great team for Cody and he is a big help to the Dodgers.Cody played travel ball when he was 11 years old and his dad was an baseball player too when he wasn't playing he coached the travel ball team his son played on. He is famous for the youngest baseball player to ever join the MLB.

Dodgers have not been impressive lately, only scoring more than four runs once in their past seven games so fat in June. What does it matter considering their pitchers

The NL West is a riveting division which produced two playoffs teams last year; although four can be considered to have a shot this season, at least one of those four will disappoint. The Dodgers have won the division each of the last four years and will likely win it again this season. They have both a dynamite lineup and a light ‘em up rotation, but were plagued by injuries last season and have numerous players who are injury risks this year. Their ace is Clayton Kershaw, who has been an all-star for six consecutive seasons and the NL Cy Young winner thrice; in one of those years he won the NL MVP as well. Rich Hill pitched superbly last season when he was on the mound, but he gets injured way too often. Kenta Maeda pitched well

It may not be how Boston visioned it playing out, but the Red Sox are in the World Series. Former Red Sox players were all over ALCS and NLCS playoff rosters in the run-up to the big game. Various front office staff, managers, and players have graced the grass at Fenway. Hello there Theo Epstein, David Roberts, and Terry Francona, I’m talking about you. Meanwhile, former players are all over a number of diamonds. David Ross, Jon Lester, John Lackey, Coco Crisp, and even the oft-forgotten Anthony Rizzo are just a few players whom were under contract with Boston at some point in the last five years (Rizzo was traded to San Diego for Adrian Gonzalez in 2010…and yup you guessed it, he’s on the post season roster too for Los Angeles) How painful? How did this happen?

The LA Dodgers were found on 1883 in Brooklyn , New York. The LA Dodgers with their history of different names like the Brooklyn Bridegrooms because seven players got married in the same season on 1888, Trolley Dodgers was another name they were given because of all the Trolley cars that weaved through Brooklyn, New York. In 1890, the Dodgers transferred from the American Association to National League. In the 1900 , the Brooklyn Dodgers went under manager Ned Hanlon. In 1901 , the Dodgers went into Third place and finished Second place in 1902. Jimmy Shekard was the Dodgers first home run champion and Zach Wheat was another great player. The Longest game in Dodger History was on the First of May in 1920. On 1925, the Dodger's President

The team has thankfully been injected with a whole heap of new talent since the Trade Deadline, highlighted by some new arms in the bullpen. However, as things tend to work out in baseball, the club is only going to go as far as their starting pitching will take

Clayton Kershaw has been in the Major League baseball, playing for the LA dodgers. He has been in the MLB since the 2008. He is one of the great starting pitches for the squad. However as the new season starts, the manager informs him that he has to pick up his game and start making more strikes. Consequently, future rookies might have a chance in the coming seasons to take his place as the main pitcher. The current justification is on the periodization plan made specifically for Clayton Kershaw in improving his overall performance as the starting pitcher.

Baseball did exactly what Billy Beane had said they would do, they erased them. The Oakland A’s are starting from scratch the same way they did in the 2002 season. It all begins in the small scout room. Billy Beane tried to repeat and go farther beyond what he did the past two years with this team, which was to bring them to the playoffs. Billy knows he has a chance to redefine the way baseball people think, and that is his goal… “I don’t play this game for records, I want what we do to make an impact and change the game” Billy said to Paul Depodesta. When Billy enters the little room, he sees all the scouts talking and catching up, but they all shut up when Billy takes his seat. As the discussion begins, they keep coming to the question they

Dodgers had a great season with 91-63 record; however, on the end of season they have a big slump, losing 20 of 25 of the last games. That makes a big difference

It was tied three to three in the series. The Toronto Blue Jays vs. LA Dodgers. Star Jackson a center fielder, that is 6’2 and weighs 190 pounds, is the best player on the team. It was three days before game seven and Star is very nervous about the game. His mom and dad calm him down on the phone and say “It is just a game sweetie, whatever happens happens.”

On June 29th the Braves made a surprising move in sending down infield prospect Ozzie Albies to Double A. The move comes as a shock but it only certifies the answer of the great question, who will play short and who will play second?

Strengths: The Los Angeles Angels many strengths, first of which is that they are located in LA. Los Angeles is the 2nd most populated city in the US and has 47.3 million tourists a year, allowing the Angels to expand their brand to a wide variety of people. LA is also helps the Angels because the weather is nice year-round making a day at the ballpark more appealing to fans. In addition, they have 6-time All-Star and 2-time AL MVP winner, Mike Trout.

A lot of people believed that the Dodgers were going to be done contending after Kershaw got his injury, but instead the team came together and are now tied for first in the NL West. As of today, the Dodgers are ahead of the Giants on differential and look to continue their trend of winning when they play the Phillies tonight and the Pirates in a three game series at home in the coming of days. The Dodgers are a very interesting team because they have been blessed with the Giants failing to continue their winning form after the All-Star break and it seems like every player the Dodgers call up, whether it is a pitcher or infielder, they help the team tremendously. If the Dodgers want to stay in this race they are going to have to continue to play like this and hopefully get some players off the DL
