Newsbreakers

October 8, 2009

Rafael Furcal was the ultimate table-setter for the Dodgers on Wednesday. He went 3-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored and helped LA down the Cardinals 5-3 in the NLDS opener.

Our View:

Furcal didn't have the best regular season, but as long as his bat heats up in the postseason Dodger fans likely will carry a short-term memory. His ability to get on in front of the big boppers was crucial to LA's success and played to their small-ball type strengths.

September 30, 2009

Rafael Furcal went 2-for-4 with a stolen base in the Dodgers 3-1 loss to the Padres on Tuesday.

Our View:

Furcal is hitting .333 for the month with two homers, nine RBI and five steals. He's still batting just .269 on the season though, as it has been a down year for the Dodger leadoff man.

September 22, 2009

Rafael Furcal tore it up on Tuesday. He went 4-for-5 with a pair of runs scored and four RBI out of the leadoff spot in the Dodgers 14-2 win over the Nationals.

Our View:

Furcal is having a down season on all accounts, but if for some reason you started him on Tuesday, pat yourself on the back. He's now riding a six-game hitting streak and may be showing signs of finally breaking out.

September 16, 2009

Rafael Furcal is getting Wednesday off for the Dodgers. He will be replaced by Juan Castro at shortstop for the Dodgers' game against the Pirates.

Our View:

Furcal isn't having the kind of season many thought he would, and his lack of speed has been the biggest disappointment. He has only seven stolen bases this season, and his .255 average is far too low for a lead-off hitter.

August 15, 2009

Rafael Furcal went 2-for-5 with a run scored in tonight's 4-3 loss at Arizona. He hit a single and a double.

Our View:

Furcal has a hit in four of his last five games, and collected multiple hits for the first time since August 6, when he went 2-for-5 against Atlanta.
