No Show!

Twenty-eight at-bats. Two hits. One run. That was the offense last night. There is no defending it and no analyzing it. Some nights you just no-show.

28 at-bats. 2 hits. 1 run. 12 strikeouts. That was the offensive line last night.

I don't have an explanation. I don't have a take. There was no obvious approach problem — the swing decisions weren't bad, the pitches we chased weren't out of the zone, the timing on fastballs looked fine in the cage. Some nights you just no-show. We did.

Buehler deserved better. Six innings, three hits, one run. He has now made three straight quality starts and we are 0-3 in them. That is not a Buehler problem. It is a team problem.

Burn the tape. Show up tomorrow.

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…
