Everyday Tony Gwynn Jr.

Whether he starts or not, it's a good bet Tony Gwynn Jr. will play tonight.

The Dodgers have dealt with their share of injuries this year, with several players either on the disabled list or missing time here and there. As a result, here are the longest active consecutive games played streaks on the Dodgers:

Dodgers Longest Active Consecutive Games Played Streaks
Player Games
Matt Kemp (also longest in MLB) 255
James Loney 121
Tony Gwynn Jr. 20

That's right, Tony Gwynn Jr. has played in each of the last 20 games, despite just getting three starts during that span. The vast majority of his games have been entering the game late as a defensive replacement in left field. During that 20-game stretch, Gwynn has 22 plate appearances (he's 1-for-21 with a double and a walk).

On the season, Gwynn has played in 45 of 51 games, including 31 games off the bench. There have only been seven LA Dodgers to play more games as a sub in the first 51 games of the season than Gwynn this year:

Most Games Off The Bench

Stan Javier 1992 36

Tim Harkness 1962 32
Dave Hansen 1999 32

Hale is not just known for his 4-for-4 season of 1974, having also filled in quite a bit for Dusty Baker and Reggie Smith in the outfield corners in 1977. Gwynn is on pace this year to appear in 98 games off the bench, which would break the LA Dodger record, held by Mark Sweeney and Stan Javier. There have only been 10 LA Dodgers to appear in over half the games in a season as a sub, including Gwynn's uncle:

Gibbons vs right handers..

129/243/161

4 for 31 with 10ks/5bbs

This is not nearly good enough to be the dominant half of a platoon.

He traditionally hits better against rightys then lefties though

SSS crazyness is all that is. Over his last 120ish PA he does have an overall 750 OPS so I don’t mind him starting some games, but I’m hoping Sands gets worked in against righties too.

Beats me. It’s just fairly obvious that it’s some kind of ploy to get you to sign up for something.

You buy the bids, usually. Sometimes you get lucky and get something cheap, but other times you’re spending cash just to bid and don’t even get the item.

that’s what I figured. All bids are charged, but only the top big gets the item. So they still get their full value but you might get an ipad. It’s gambling essentially

This is almost the lineup we expected on opening day, and you could even argue as I have that Carroll at 2nd is better then Uribe.

Is this the lineup that can compete with the big boys?

Will probably be a lost weekend for Blake, Rafy will have a huge night tonight and be day to day by Sunday. Luckily Andre is about to start his All-Star run. and in about a month he’s going to look Humma in the eye and
