It's All Good

Many Dodger fans only comment when they have something to complain about. I guess it is human nature. Right about now, those fans have no purpose or direction in life. From my perspective, this may be the most fun season ever. There have been disappointments and injuries, and there have been triumphs and successes, but make no mistake about it: this is a team! These guys are fun to watch.
- This thing is over! The Clowns with PT Preller as the Ringmaster are dead and buried. Will Preller survive? I hope so. As long as he is there, the Clowns will suck!
- JDM should be back next week – he is allegedly fine but is going to do a rehab assignment.
- Clayton will pass Double D with his next win.
- Fans are talking 60 doubles for Freddie which has only been done but a few times, but 30 HR and 60 doubles is within reach and that has NEVER been done!
- Mookie has certainly elevated his game. What is the next level past “Superstar?”
- Jorbit Vivas (2B) was 3-5 last night (.310).
- Jonny DeLuca was 2-4 (.318).
- Miguel Vargas was 2-4 with his 6th HR (.295).
- Blake Treinen was rocked in a 1/3 of an inning.
- Jimmy Nelson needed just 11 pitched to pitch a clean inning.
- Kolten Wong is going absolutely crazy at OKC (.538 BA/1.494 OPS).
That’s all for today.

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…
Discussion (110)
Disagree, not disagreeable
This year has been miraculous. On June 30, at the halfway point, the Dodgers were 45-35 playing .563 ball, a projected 91 win season, and 2.5 games back of the Snakes in the NL West. In July, they were 13-10 with a team ERA of 4.59 and the lowest starter’s ERA (Bobby Miller) was 4.59.
They are 23-4 in August. Starter’s ERA is 2.96 in August. This been absolutely fun since August 1 – crazy but fun.
And yes, Friedman’s deadline deals have all panned out except for Wild Man Kelly, who has only pitched 3 innings. Look at the crazy numbers:
Lynn: – 4-0, 2.03 in 5 starts with a WHIP of 1.065
Kike – BA .263, OPS .742, 12 XBH
Rosario – BA .239, OPS .731, 8 XBH
Of course they got Kershaw and Urias off of the DL so, with Lynn added, no longer had to start Sheehan, Grove et al.
Quas my prayers are with you. Stay strong for the WS celebration—we don’t want you to miss it! Jimmy Carter has been in hospice for a year or two so rest up and stay strong!
Now that Max is hitting who are you guys going to complain about?
Wow.
I won’t say anything. We shouldn’t pound our chest.
This team is pretty good at baseball.
Relatively, speaking.
Quas, prayers to you and your family. Stay strong and enjoy the rest of this fantastic dodger season. We’ll celebrate in October.
Prayers and thoughts are with you Quas!!
\I thank you all. As this post is titled….it’s all good The dope fiend in me awaits morphine coming Tuesday. I’m ready and am the last of my family and have no need to tell my story and I ain’t honest enough anyways. Until then, I’m still standing. I’ve lived big and stacked the deck in my trials. Coulda done better but didn’t do bad.
