The Dodgers’ super-utility men have found a way to avoid at least some of the “Dog Days Blues” afflicting much of the rest of the lineup. In fact, both are putting up stretches better than when they were playing earlier in the year.
For Taylor, he’s picked up right where he left off before heading to the shelf. His .361 OBP after 28 July ABs has dipped only slightly (down to .321 through 24 ABs in August), but the power has ticked up dramatically.
Through nearly as many ABs in July, CT3 had one extra-base hit, a lonely triple all the way back on July 2.
