Nothing to See Here, Folks…
Some days, you just can’t catch a break, or maybe you are sleepwalking. It was funny watching Miggy Ro pitch and imitate other pitchers. Other than that, just move on. There’s nothing to see. https://twitter.com/DodgerBlue1958/status/1911260507757314385 If Andy Pages hadn’t…
Some days, you just can’t catch a break, or maybe you are sleepwalking. It was funny watching Miggy Ro pitch and imitate other pitchers. Other than that, just move on. There’s nothing to see.
If Andy Pages hadn’t reached over the wall to take away Michael Busch’s grand slam, it might have been 20-0. Nobody could pitch, and nobody could hit, but otherwise, it was a great game. The best news was that Sasaki looked like a good pitcher. Casparius, Garcia, and Rojas were arrested immediately after the game by the LAPD for impersonating a pitcher.
Dodger News
- The Good News is that OKC won 15-0. Hyeseong Kim hit two more home runs. I think they will give him a couple more weeks, but if he keeps this up, he is coming to LA.
- Alex Freeland continues to rake (.350/.923 OPS), but unless someone gets injured, he is at OKC for the year.
- Matt Sauer went five innings and allowed two hits. He is looking really good.
- James (Joey Gallo) Outman had a couple of hits to bring his average up to .169. He has a 42% K rate.
- Eddie Rosario is raking (.365/1.022 OPS).
- Bobby Miller is likely to be called up from Oklahoma City to make a start for the Dodgers on Wednesday against the Colorado Rockies, meaning Yamamoto won’t pitch again until Friday to open a series at Texas.

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
It seems like a lot of people think this is just Playstation 5, suggesting trades and moves as if it were something so simple and as if we were already in August.
It hasn’t even been 20 damn games and there are already several worried and scared to death people wanting to change half the team… No wonder there are idiots who are still worried about the SD faggots!

I could be off on this thought but it seems that the Dodgers pitchers and throwing strikes has been a issue. Not just the walks but falling behind in the count and putting the hitter in a much better place. It seems to me in the past the Dodgers would work the opponents pitch count up while the Dodgers would stay around the 15 pitches an inning. Hasn’t gone like that much this season.
Back in my coaching days I’d stress to my teams that we are our own toughest opponent. “ If we take care of what we can control and take advantage of our opponents mistakes we will be successful.”
More often than not a team doesn’t win a game as much as a team loses a game by making errors. Physically errors will happen, mental errors can’t be tolerated. My rant for today.
