A Game for the Ages
Your Los Angeles Dodgers clinched the NLCS for the 5th time in the past 9 years last night, led by Shohei Ohtani, who had “the best game ever” by a major league baseball player as he pitched six innings, striking out 10 and allowing just two hits and no runs for the win… Oh, and…
Your Los Angeles Dodgers clinched the NLCS for the 5th time in the past 9 years last night, led by Shohei Ohtani, who had “the best game ever” by a major league baseball player as he pitched six innings, striking out 10 and allowing just two hits and no runs for the win… Oh, and he also hit three home runs! I think it’s the most incredible game ever by a major league baseball player. PERIOD! FULL STOP! His “average” exit velocity was 115.6 MPH!
Now, we wait to find out who they play in the World Series. Home field made no difference in the NLCS, and it doesn’t in the World Series as well. This team has “flipped the switch” and is in Beast Mode. It does not appear that they can be stopped… barring some strange “crapshoot.”

Dodgers Food Trailer
I did this interview a couple of weeks ago with Chef Mike, who runs the Dodgers Food Trailer for the Great Lakes Loons. They are there for every home and road regular season and playoff game. They prepare three meals a day for approximately 50 people (players and coaches). Since games end late most evenings, they do not prepare breakfast. Many of their hotels have a complimentary breakfast anyway. However,…
Meet LAD 2026 Draft Picks 1-12
3 picks were High School players (2 SS and 1 OF). There was a college OF, college catcher, college SS, and 10 college pitchers. Of all the talk for a need for a catcher, the only catcher the Dodgers selected was Luke Bard, son of LAD bullpen coach Josh Bard. Bard was a 4th year senior from Houston Christian University. He is not a prospect, so the Dodgers are still…
Interview with Paul Beachy – Team Bus Driver For The Great Lakes Loons (LA Dodgers Minor League Team)
It’s been a few days since I did this interview. We have evidently been working my son-in-law (the video guy) like a rented mule at US Water Systems. However, I am taking him to London with me in a few days, so maybe Watford will buy him a pint as a tip, but he’s a dang Red Sox fan, so there is that! I thought that it would be interesting…
Thanks for Your Service: Chris Taylor
I was going to do this post when Chris announced he was retiring, then he changed his mind, but since the chances of him ever playing for the Dodgers again are slim and non-existent, I will go ahead with this post. He unretired, went on the IL, then decided to call it quits on May 24th. Taylor was born in Virginia Beach VA on August 29th, 1990. He attended Great…

Dodgers Versus Blue Jays
Toronto will be a challenge because of their lineup.
There is one player who, no matter who wins, is guaranteed a championship ring… Buddy Kennedy
Springer went to toronto to escape from the aaaaastros! may he never win another championship! Dodgers can give him a dose of fastballs under his chin! Now that i’ve said that, should be a good series. Toronto is a viable opponent that won’t be taken lightly. It is a must to win at least one game in toronto. Who stays on the roster and who doesn’t? Did hear om mlb this morning Bichette might be added to the roster. His defense isn’t that good now, but his bat would be a big addition to an already potent lineup. The key i believe? Keep the bases empty ahead of Vladdy. minimize his damage. And toronto’s lefties aren’t the same as Milwaukee. I see Dodgers in 6. 5 would be better!!!
We all have to remember that Ohtoni hurt his shoulder in the NLCS against the Mets and Muncy was a NO show with his bat against the Yankees in last year’s World Series and we still won 4 out of 5 games. Hopefully both participate with big offensive numbers this year.
OK, Tomorrow it will be 8 weeks since shoulder surgery on my right arm.
I had carpal tunnel surgery on the left wrist today, and ulnar nerve surgery on the elbow today. The shoulder is doing amazing. The other arm is TBD!
Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts announced his starting pitchers for Games 1 and 2 of the World Series against the Toronto Blue Jays. Blake Snell will pitch Game 1, with Yoshinobu Yamamoto getting Game 2.
