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
Happy new year!! I hope this is the year for the World Series champion Dodgers. Along those lines I just keep thinking how the dodgers can get better. Much has been said about Joc Pederson. I like joc and I think he is a team player albeit out of shape. Even though he came up big in the World Series I can’t help but think about one at bat. With a runner on third and less than 2 outs he struck out. The game would have been over had he gotten the runner home. In those situations you have to have people put the bat on the ball and that is why Barnes was there over Grandal who will either k or dp. They can both help immensely over the course of a long season but in a short series they either have to improve that or not play. One of Roberts biggest mistakes was not pinch hitting there. I was watching thinking he will k and so was Houston. I believe we need a playoff caliber starter or a stronger bullpen. Roberts completely quit using fields, stripling could not be trusted, and McCarthy was game over for la. He overused Maeda and morrow because he couldn’t trust the rest. These people help through the season but in a short series players have to be able to put the ball in play and pitchers have to be trusted so it has to be considered how to get players who can execute in a short series.
Happy New Year to all. I will continue to read the blog and do hope to evolve.
