Kings of the World

We had our annual Memorial Day Party (a week late) yesterday, and it ended around midnight. We did have the Pacers game on, but I deliberately didn’t watch the Dodgers until this morning.
Wowsers!
What an unbelievable beatdown! “We are the World Champs, and you’re not, and just to cement that fact, we are going to give you a classic beatdown!” It’s just one game, but it was fun. Maybe the Muncy and Knack haters will go away. What I like is that the Dodgers talked so much trash after beating the Yankees in the World Series, and are not only backing that up, but they just completely destroyed them.

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…

gonsolin and may are coming off serious injuries. Clayton is slowing building up his innings. Yamamoto is pitching his -ss off. Knack has been good. sheehan coming off injury. So if an innings eater is available, yeah you get him. worry about the quantity later. snell and glasnow aren’t for certain

Overlooked fact:
Kim’s HR was in his first official plate appearance against a lefty. Roberts had been using him exclusively against RHP. (I had previously seen data that I misinterpreted as a previous PA against a lefty, but perhaps he had entered as a pinch runner. Whatever.)
His OPS versus lefties is now 5.000.
Overall, his BA is now .422 in 45 ABs, and OPS is 1.058. Goes to show what a 4 for 4 day can do to small sample.
With Mookie out, let’s hope we see him at SS a few more times, and later he can shift back to 2B.
sunday brunch. …. nice to pound the yankees and ohtani really had a “mediocre “ day…. Teo let me down yesterday! …. Freddie!!!! nothing else needs to be said. …. Will! the best catcher in baseball!….. Andy Pages. Getting better every game. HOSE for an arm!….. Max . my apologies. keep it up!…. Conforto. still have hope. seems to be having fun again……. Edman. a glue stick!….. Kim! Still think he doesn’t belong?…. Knack. see Max! …. Aaron Judge. i hate the Yankees. But that guy is a total beast. Can’t make myself dislike him!! No one in the american league should even smell a mvp vote other than Judge! case closed! … Yamamoto and the sweep?? you bet!! …. Well we finally see Statton. lot of off speed stuff. not sure his fastball scares anyone. worth a look? maybe. …. 26-7 so ffar and the best pitcher on the team pitching? love it!! … Hey, baltimore is cooked. how about a trade for zac efflin? would be a nice addition to the pitching staff. just wondering.
Max should pass Kemp sometime soon. Word is Sasaki is aiming for a late June return. Glasnow probably not until after the All-Star break. Sheehan on his way back too.
Truly amazing that there’s EVER a true “laugher” against last season’s ALCS champs but of course we’re very happy to take it.
But before we all start laughin’ & scratchin’ just remember it can happen to the Dodgers too.
So nice to see Max getting some hard earned results shutting up his critics.
What a great game to watch.
