Minor League Overview
OKC Comets: They are now 5-7 after losing 6-5 to Round Rock. Of note is that Fitzgerald is smoking hot (.415) and went 4-5 last night. Ehrhard was 3-5, and Noah Miller was 3-3 (.357). Several pitchers took the mound and were meeeehhh! The biggest concern is Ronan Kopp, who gave up 1 hit and 1 run while walking 4 in .2 innings. He currently has a 13,54 ERA and in 4.1 innings has allowed 6 hits, 3 HR, and walked 9 batters while striking out 5. Shades of Nick Nastrini!
Tulsa Drillers – They are now 4-2 as they beat Springfield 12-9. George was 3-5 (.407) with a double and his 5th SB. DePaula was 3-6. Nevin, Hainline, and Vetrano also had 2 hits. Serwinowski gave up 5 runs on 5 hits and 3 BB in 1.1 innings. Bruns was smoked for 4 runs in 2 IP, and when Wepf is your best pitcher of the day, you have issues. But they won. DePaula is on a fast track to OKC.
Great Lakes Loons – The Loons are also 4-2 after beating West Michigan 5-2. Davalan and Sirota each had a double, and Wagner hit his 2nd HR. Yean got the save, striking out 2 in the 9th inning.
Ontario Tower Buzzers – Leiter starts tonight! The Buzzers are also 4-2 as they Inland Empire 8-3. Elkins (DH) was 4-4 (.440) with his 2nd HR. Vargas was 2-5 as well. Morales is playing 3B and was 1-3 (a double).

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…

If he can just improve his control a little bit… Watch Out!
He’s a thrower for sure. Love the arm though.
Even though it didn’t result in a run, love the Rohas/Espinal swap for Freeland/Kim. Was the right move and a good use of bench.
Scott looked real good in the eighth, that fast ball he threw inside to Seager, at 99 was something else
Max “Freaking” Muncie!!! I told you he would carry this team in streaks. WOW! He picked that bum, Diaz! 🙂

From Much-Maligned Max to Maximum Max… A three-HR night is especially sweet when the last is a walk-off.
