It's a Great Day to be a Dodger Fan
It is always beyond good to go into Milwaukee and take two out of three. The bullpen looked like the bullpen we were promised in February.
It is always beyond good to go into Milwaukee and take two of three. The Brewers are a good team. Their stadium is loud. Their bullpen is excellent. And we still beat them on Friday and Sunday.
Three things stood out:
- The bullpen looked like the bullpen we were promised in February. Vesia, Treinen, Phillips — five appearances, one earned run, eight strikeouts.
- Mookie is locked in. 7-for-13 in the series with two doubles and a homer. He is hitting .337 since May 1.
- The bench is helping. Two of our four wins this homestand came on pinch-hit RBIs.
Now: the bad news. We are 10 games into a 14-game stretch against playoff teams, and we have used three starters on three days' rest. Glasnow needs to come back healthy. May needs to come back, period. And we need Buehler to stop nibbling — there is no such thing as a 1-2 walk in May that doesn't cost you a game in October.
But on a Sunday afternoon, with a flight home and a series with the Rockies on deck? It is a great day to be a Dodger fan.

Enjoy it While You Can!
It was both surprising and not surprising to me that the Dodgers signed Kyle Tucker. That they can make it work is a tribute to the true genius of Mark Walter and Andrew Friedman. Enjoy it while you can, because it will end soon. In the upcoming CBA and talks among owners, MLB…
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…
