Outfield Re-Alignment
Andy Pages can play a fairly credible centerfield. Unfortunately, Teoscar Hernandez and Michael Conforto can’t play their respective positions a lick. As soon as Tommy Edman is back, he needs to go to CF. Teoscar needs to go to LF (with Call as his caddy), Pages goes to RF, and…
Andy Pages can play a fairly credible centerfield. Unfortunately, Teoscar Hernandez and Michael Conforto can’t play their respective positions a lick. As soon as Tommy Edman is back, he needs to go to CF. Teoscar needs to go to LF (with Call as his caddy), Pages goes to RF, and CONFORTO GOES TO SIBERIA! It’s after September 1st. CUT CONFORTO! There were five or six balls hit to the outfield, which should have been caught… and weren’t. You can’t win like that.
It might be next week before Edman is back, but this needs to happen. Max should be back sometime next week. That should be big. The pitching will sort itself out. It’s hard for me to type. This is definitely easier than a hip replacement. I HAVE BEEN OFF PAIN MEDS FOR 3 DAYS!
- Voice recognition software sucks.
- 3 more weeks in this damn sling.

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
I may be wrong or I may be right, but in my humble opinion this is NOT the Dodger’s year to win a World Series .Too many things have to go right and we’re depending a weak bullpen to do its job even at full strength, a critical factor to have success in the playoffs. The outfield defense is weak at the corners and I would not count on Kershaw or Glasnow in big games in the playoffs against the better teams we’ll face. I can’t put my finger on it but something is seriously missing this year from last year. Part of it is injuries, part of of it is an aging team, the hunger factor to win, a terrible road team and teams really get fired up to play us because of jealously and the huge payroll we enjoy. I’m not rooting for this to happen, but that’s the way I see it. I truly hope I’m wrong.
Totally agree, Mark. Kim could fill in in the outfield a bit but being a GG. SS and 2B IN KOREA, plus his speed make him a better fit in the dirt.
How valuable has Pages’ been? Power, OBP, brazen attitude,
Getting staples out today.
