This probably won’t shock you, but the Dodgers’ .949 OPS at Coors Field this year is their highest at any ballpark.
By comparison, the Dodgers have a .747 OPS at Dodger Stadium.
It will be interesting to see how Joc Pederson (1.417 OPS at Coors Field) does this weekend. You might recall that the center fielder homered in all four games the Dodgers played in Denver from June 1-3. Since then, Pederson has eight homers in 282 at-bats.
No other Dodger has homered more than once in the Dodgers’ first six games at Coors, but the team has a .402 on-base percentage and .548 slugging percentage there in 2015, with 24 extra-base hits and 31 walks.

Yeah that was back in June when Pederson was has hitting.

So Seager is out again, I see that he didn’t convince DM enough he should start over the old farts when they were healthy. Heck if Kike is healthy to make PO roster, he probably won’t make that as a bench player (but that will be a FO decision not a DM one).
Mark Hagerstrom
Rest assured, Seager has earned spot on PO roster. Don’t see the downside of getting Rollins back in playing shape.
Asher B. Garber
Wait…. It’s bad to have Jimmy back and getting primed for the playoffs? Do we also not want to work Utley out at 3rd since he is making the move away from permanent 2nd baseman? Maybe I don’t like all the pinpoint naysaying about Donnie or the FO as if that’s some sort of objective perspective.
