Due to circumstances beyond my control, people are coming here with political comments or baiting others. It won’t continue to happen. I will be using most of Jon Weisman’s Rules. Here they are:
Thank you For Not …
1) using profanity or any euphemisms for profanity
2) personally attacking other commenters
3) baiting other commenters
4) arguing for the sake of arguing
5) discussing politics
6) using hyperbole when something less will suffice
7) using sarcasm in a way that can be misinterpreted negatively
8) making the same point over and over again
9) being annoyed by the existence of this list
10) commenting under the obvious influence
11) claiming your opinion isn’t allowed when it’s just being disagreed with

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 (59)
Disagree, not disagreeable
Buster Olney:
“Suspensions for the Padres-Dodgers machinations:
Reliever Robert Suarez 3 games (but he’s appealing and will be eligible until that appeal is heard).
Padres Manager Mike Shildt gets a one-game suspension and fine.
Dodgers Manager Dave Roberts gets a one-game suspension and fine.
Roberts and Shildt will serve their suspensions tonight”.
Manager Dave Roberts said Friday that Sasaki (shoulder) has restarted his throwing program by playing catch from 60-90 feet out, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
“Sasaki paused his throwing program last week due to feeling uncomfortable ramping up to full intensity, but he’ll now give it another shot after sitting down for a few days. The 23-year-old righty will likely remain without a defined return timeline until he begins throwing off a mound or facing hitters, but he’s guaranteed to be out through the All-Star break after moving to the 60-day IL on Friday”.
Glasnow (shoulder) will begin a minor-league rehab assignment with Triple-A Oklahoma City on Sunday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
“Glasnow tossed about 40 pitches in a sim game Tuesday, and he’s now ready to progress to game action. The veteran righty is expected to log two innings in his initial rehab start Sunday, according to Dodgers manager Dave Roberts, and is slated for at least three rehab outings before coming off the injured list. Glasnow has been on the IL since late April, and though he’s coming up on eligibility to be activated, his timeline suggests early July as a best-case scenario”.
