I Am Certain of Nothing, But Remain Hopeful
When the Dodgers started out 12-14, I was not worried. I felt they were a 92-98 win team. Then they won about 80 games in a row and had 91 wins earlier than almost any other team in the history of baseball. I felt Cody Bellinger was ready this year, but really did not expect to see him as soon as he was called up. He was a huge part
When the Dodgers started out 12-14, I was not worried. I felt they were a 92-98 win team. Then they won about 80 games in a row and had 91 wins earlier than almost any other team in the history of baseball. I felt Cody Bellinger was ready this year, but really did not expect to see him as soon as he was called up. He was a huge part of their success. Now, they have lost like 15 out of 16 games and are struggling to maintain their home field advantage.
While I do not really know, I was being serious yesterday. I think Roberts thinks a losing streak right now is fine (I really do), and has done nothing to stop it (and maybe enables it), but at what point do you have to say “ENOUGH” and start breaking things? I am talking about trashing the clubhouse, smashing water coolers and going bat-shit crazy! I think we are close… if not already there.
The Mother of All Winnings Streaks could never have been predicted and neither could this devil pf all losing streaks. Any bad team wins occasionally. This team can’t win to save their lives. It simply has to be pure, blind, dumb luck! No other explanation works. They won as a team and now are losing as a team! What happens next? I have no clue… and neither does anyone else. Remember this: Past performance is no indicator of future prospects… to the good or too the bad. The past means nothing!
They could go down the toilet… or they could win it all. When you win as much as they did and then lose as much as they are now – it tells me that they aren’t as good as we thought… nor are they as bad as we think. They are somewhere between heaven and hell. We are in hell right now, but we could be knocking on heaven’s door! Maybe were somewhere between heaven and here:
I am certain of nothing, but I remain hopeful. It’s easy to fix other people’s problems, but lineups are just a small part of this. When the hitters were hitting and the pitchers were pitching, Doc was a genius. I don;t think he has suddenly turned into a moron. This too shall pass… I just wish it would hurry up!
P.S. Things could be worse! You could be Colts fans! Colts = Count On Losing This Sunday!

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
Ultimately a disappointing night again, but well done to you guys to sticking with it.
Starting Pitching is killing us now.
Who do you trust?

Have scored enough runs to have won at leading a couple of years recently.
Credit to Puig, who I doubted, for continuing his mature approach at the plate.
Kershaw v Cueto later on…
