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…

Disagree, not disagreeable
We all due respect to Pedro Martinez, we are the Yankees Daddy.
Gave em a token one last night….
The upgrade to Conforto could already be on the roster – Kim. Instead of Edman at 2B and Conforto in LF, why not Kim at 2B and Edman in CF with Pages moving to LF?
“Ari Alexander of KPRC 2 reports that the Mariners are sending right-hander Will Klein to the Mariners for Jacques. Klein was just designated for assignment by the Mariners a few days ago. The Dodgers will need to open a 40-man roster spot for him.
Klein has just 7 1/3 innings of major league experience, which all came last year. He allowed nine earned runs in that time. This year, he’s been in Triple-A and has posted a 7.17 ERA at that level with a strong 30.5% strikeout rate but also a massive 18.1% walk rate. That’s generally been his recipe throughout his minor league career”.

Betts (toe) remains out of the lineup for Monday’s game versus the Mets.
It’s the fourth straight start Betts has missed after he sustained a fractured left big toe. Per Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times, Betts ran the bases and went through fielding drills pregame Monday and hopes to return to action Tuesday. Hyeseong Kim is at shortstop and batting ninth for the Dodgers on Monday.
06/02/25 Los Angeles Dodgers designated RHP Chris Stratton for assignment.
06/02/25 Seattle Mariners traded RHP Will Klein to Los Angeles Dodgers for LHP Joe Jacques.
SCOUTING REPORT
Will Klein has tantalizing stuff, with a fastball that can touch the triple digits but usually hangs out in the upper 90s. He pairs that with a power curve with downward movement and a slider, neither of which he can locate very well, partly due to a delivery that’s hard for him to repeat.
This is another typical AF trade. He has a very high upside!
The Dodgers have also recalled righty Ryan Loutos. In a corresponding move ,right-hander RP Noah Davis was optioned to Oklahoma City.
AF might be sorry for the 4 year contract of Tanner Scott. I’m really surprised that he signed him for that long a contract when he usually tries to find relievers internally,trades or the waiver wire.
