Here's to bringing back the iceplant, keeping (most of) the massive foul territory as a quirky home field advantage, and maybe making a short right field porch for this Matt Olson kid to whack dingers over (oh, and keep Matt Olson). That's a big might. Still have to convince Peralta CCD to turn it over, which could be troublesome. It seems like Mayor Schaaf has come around a little bit about being so adamant that it end up at the waterfront. Maybe the idea of a privately funded yard changed her tune. I am all for the return of the ice plant. Short RF porch is not something I want to see anywhere. All the foul ground is a nice touch. I miss all the foul territory in Dodger Stadium.

Craig H Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 Magic number is 14. NL Central ending is going to be wild as hell. Cubs have a 4 have series against the Brewers and against the Cardinals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like he's going to meet the threshold for a rookie (130 ABs), and honestly, it wouldn't surprise me if he won NL ROY over Bellinger, based on just how historic what he's doing is. Yes, it's still a small sample size in the bigger scheme of things, but...geez. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He might get a vote or two, but he's not going to eclipse Bellinger with what will be a 65 game season and somewhere right around 175 ABs if he plays every day from here on out. That being said, the kid is something else, man. He's a local boy for me, so I was aware of him in HS and college, but I don't recall ever hearing about this kind of power. It will be interesting to see how the league adjusts to him next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 And the Stros officially clinch the AL West I am entertained that the Dodgers have 96 wins and still the best record in baseball and have a 9 game lead but have only clinched a playoff berth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magic number is now 4, so they could conceivably clinch it in Philly tomorrow if the Padres can step on AZ and LAD does their job. LAD up 2-0 after 1 inning in Philly right now with Kershaw on the hill, so we will see how that works out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PetrolCB Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 Sorry, brother. But yeah, we have a mountain to climb, and I like the crop of young guys we have. Baby steps, hopefully they're super-sized. The old regime regarding deals was around way too goddamn long. This one seems level. It reminds me of 2003-4-5 to a degree. Like, we've got talent, and now we've just gotta let the seeds grow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
