More from Dodger Talk
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 (64)
Disagree, not disagreeable
Yes. This is tough stuff!
Is it possible that Ohtani’s slow start has to do with pitching from the beginning of the season? (An Ohtani slow would be a great start for most players.) Thoughts!!!
Mets have DFAd Tommy Pham and are signing Austin Slater. Yankees recalling Jasson Dominguez. Yanks optioned Luis Gil to AAA. Angels DFAd Jordan Romano and recalled Joey Lucchesi. Vince Velasquez, who pitched against the Dodgers Saturday night, DFAd by the Cubs.
Mets are not the Red Sox. Cohen’s guys hired their manager, they just got Soto back, but losing a doubleheader to the Rockies does not look good on one’s resume. Doubt the Cubs are overrated. They are a gritty team. They did not get the big hit today, but Dodger pitching was under pressure all game long. Their biggest weakness right now is pitching. You do not win 10 in a row if you are not as good as advertised, and the last couple of years, they have owned LA,
Freddie is not ill. He has just not really found his stroke yet, neither has Tucker. Ohtani looked more like Ohtani.
I agree. Also nice to have Nomah in the booth. Lower key than Hershiser or Karros. Arizona came from being down 7-2 to score 10 runs in the 7th and 8th innings for a 12-7 win. Padres BA by their big stars are pretty anemic. Machado .209, Tatis Jr. .250, Merrill .214, Cronenworth .155. Andujar, Campusano, Bogaerts, and Laureano are the guys getting it done. Their bullpen totally imploded today. LA back in first by 1/2 game.
Great win. Mets will fire their manager if this score stays. Cubs are overrated.
Preseason, who had Wrobleski as the Dodger Cy Young candidate?
I know has Max been sick, but Freddie looked like he was ill today as well.
Great to see a young guy pitch through it when he doesn’t have his best stuff. For me, this is a more impressive outing than his last two.
I can never tell when Badger is sarcastic or serious
Nice job by Wrobo-cop today. Gritty job too. Traffic on the bases the entire game. Rojas with a huge hit. Shohei looks better today too.
Baseball savant is your friend, Phil. https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/savant-player/roki-sasaki-808963?stats=statcast-r-pitching-mlb
He could always hit. The Dodgers have a few like him in the organization again.
A lot of guys threw, and continue to throw it successfully. Hershiser, Pedro, Trevor Hoffman, Glavine, Maddux, Hamels, Ryu, Johan Santana, Devin Williams, Christopher Sanchez and yes Gagne. Heck, I threw in MABL when I was 50. Same with a two seamer. Just throw it over the middle of the plate and the movement will take it away from the sweet spot.
Getting even for when they owned him
You would think Smoltz gets paid by the word
Michael Busch flat out owns the Dodgers.
Gagne sure could throw it though
“Circle change is not that difficult to learn“. Tell that to Kershaw who could never figure it out. Then with his slider and curve, he did not need to.
I suggested a two seamer. It’s a sinker that can break both ways through thumb placement. In my opinion Sasaki is a candidate for that pitch. Heck, every pitcher is. And a circle change is not that difficult to learn either. These guys are professionals. It’s all they do. Figure it out dammit. I read somewhere Sasaki was throwing 100+ in Japan. He ain’t here. Why is that? I’ve been a proponent of the ABS system for a while now. And I have been because of the varying shapes of MLB umpires zones I see on different sites. All of them are shaped like a vertical football. Corners of the box were not getting called. Apparently now they are. At least more so. This challenge system has forced umps to get better. As for how it would change batting averages, those corners are the most difficult to hit so if they aren’t being called hitters don’t have to swing at them. With ABS they will be called, so it’s possible averages will go down. The strike zone has already been shrunk about a foot. Remember when it was arm pitts to bottom of knee? I sure do. Now it’s navel to knee. You want more offense just make it belt buckle to nut sack. That will put more runners on.
“During his pregame media scrum, Roberts said Smith could play today, but they didn’t want to push him. He is currently day-to-day, and they are not considering an injured list stint, according to Jack Harris of the California Post”.
Solid points Ted, but who in MLB will be the ones talking to the owners? The owners are MLB. They don’t listen to fans. They don’t have to. Fans line up and throw money at them no matter what they do and the money is then divided between them. It’s a billionaire boys club that makes their own rules. The only voices that ever challenge them is the millionaire boys club players association, and we know how that plays out every 5 years or so. They get vacations and the fans get screwed. So what to do? I suggested a fans Opening Day boycott several years ago. I was laughed out of the chat room on that one. But I’m open for suggestions. I’m also open for discussions on who to send to Pittsburgh for Skenes. He’s probably going to average 7 WAR for 7 years. It’s going to take probably 5 players that will be both controllable and project that much WAR plus a point or two. Mark mentioned some names, as did I the other day, which included the Ontario franchise and Timmons. I didn’t get any feedback on my offer. In all seriousness I think it begins with our best prospect and at least 3 other players. Since it’s the Nuttings maybe a van full of money could be thrown in. Again, I’m open for suggestions here.
Tight back.
How so? Smith’s injuted
