Dodger Stadium is even more of a HR friendly park than Sacramento. We'll see if the Sox bats can stay hot (5th in HR since July 4th).

Part of the reason LA is a homer haven is that the Dodgers have home run hitters -- 6 guys with 12 or more, compared to 3 for Boston.

But then the Red Frauds are suddenly the antithesis of the modern 3 True Outcome Offense: last in the league in longballs, second to last in bases on balls, but get this, Hunter Goodman fans... only 3 AL teams have less strikeouts! 

We need more bunts and hit by pitches; inhumane sacrifices to exercise extra-inning ghosts -- keep running Sox, counter-clockwise to all that's sacred... or is that scared... sacredodgerbleu!

Park factors aren't solely calculated based on how many home runs are hit at a ballpark, but in comparison to how players play elsewhere. This means the visiting team are hitting more home runs at Dodger Stadium too. 

The home/away splits were nasty for the pitching staff last season (almost 2 to 1 HR at home).

This is the great hope for a Hunter Goodman deal -- Career Home Runs: 38 Home, 38 Away.

A Rockies unicorn. Usually, the argument is "well, he still has a good OPS away." When I've looked, all the big names had huge splits and then fell off after leaving COL.

Is tonight a bullpen game for the Doyers?

This series is going to be a test of how good this team really is, and to see if they can keep the momentum going.  Just please don't get swept.

Even if they get swept, it's 20-7 since July 1. Crazy. Their best chance to win is either tonight or Sunday.

If they take 2/3 from LA I'm further on board with this 2026 team, 1/3 has me cautiously optimistic, getting swept has me hopeful still, sweeping the Dodgers would fill my head full of grandeur dreams for the 2026 post season.

I'd say roll the dice with Bello tomorrow....let him pitch until the arm falls off.

[Deja Doh]

We have the exact same record through 108 games as we did the last 4 years, 57-51.  I'll be at the game tonight.

Pull the trigger, 3 years of a 26 year old PROVEN right handed power hitter for a player who hasn't been in the majors. He played in the outfield as well as catcher. Just don't let him play in that stupid pre season nonsense called the WBC.
