The doors are getting oiled so that they can swing open.
I have tickets for games on February 24th and 26th. I will be in Glendale that whole week. They have a strict list of what you can take and what you can’t take inside, and these guys are trained ICE agents (I am only slightly kidding), who have no sense of humor and are strictly by the book. Here’s the list of what you can and can’t take in:
If you haven’t been there, here are a few pics for your perusal:
Here I am getting ready to strike the late Roger Dodger with my 36 MPH fastball. It was easy since he had a “phantom” bat. Maybe these photos will get you in the mood. I have lots more.
More from Dodger Talk
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…

Disagree, not disagreeable
The only way Skubal gets traded is that the Tigers are out of it at the deadline… and I don’t see that happening.
She was actually a Red Sox or an A at heart.
I agree, I like her a lot. Rizzo? She was good…. where is she now? Alanna lives in New England and works for NESN with her husband, Chris, their two wonderful stepdaughters, and their beloved rescue dog, Bentley. Her Dodger ship has sailed. Good Luck!
I love Freeland for what he is: A utilityman! He was never expected to walk properly… let alone play in MLB.
Correct. I like Freeland but it’s hard to pencil him in as our next 3b.
It could happen because our choices to fill the position are linited.
Another smart owner using a deferred payment to pay a player. I doubt that deferred payments will be eliminated in the next CBA in 2027.
The Tigers appear to be all in and are going for it. Less of chance Skubal gets traded.
“It’s homecoming season in Detroit. After years of Tigers fans hoping for a reunion with future Hall of Famer Justin Verlander, the team announced Tuesday that Verlander has been signed to a one-year contract for the 2026 season. The ISE client is guaranteed $13MM, per USA Today’s Bob Nightengale, though $11MM of that sum will be deferred and paid out beginning in 2030”.
Give her a chance!
Shes a Cardinal at heart…..
Shes no Rizzo
I am yes. First 2 games in DC.
I could actially see Muncy getting one more year if this season is good. 1. Field the position 2. Hit HRs 3. Draw walks Those skills seem doable for another year or two.
Sirota? If he’s mlb ready in 2027 who goes? Tibbs? What if he’s ready? DePaula? We know Rojas is gone after this season. Max? What if he hits .230 with 25-30 bombs and plays solid defense? Would they give him another contract? He wants to retire as a Dodger. Kike? Assuming he’s back this season, how much longer do they keep bringing him back? Call? Probably his last season as a Dodger in my opinion. I’m guessing if Teo bounces back and has a better season in 26 , he comes back for his last season on his contract. I know the season hasn’t even started yet, but it’ll be interesting to see how they handle all the prospects in 27. Surely a couple will get traded. A couple might get to the big team. A couple could fade away. DePaula is at the top of my list of “must see” next level. The comparisons to Yordan are just that. But the buzz is so intriguing!
he has 3 option years left
Right answer! I think he will start at Tulsa and could move up rapidly, if he can continue what he started last year.
She is an attractive girl (woman) who is obviously very intelligent and understands and knows baseball on a very deep level.
Nobody has a chance!
Definite articles matter
What’s your definition of a bomb? I think she’s attractive and very intelligent baseball-wise. I’m glad she is now covering the Dodgers.
Maybe because he’s coming off an injury and played limited games at A+ Great Lakes because of the injury.
Why would Sirota not be a NRI?
