Roster Churn

Since Opening Day, we have seen Freddie Freeman and Blake Snell go on the IL with Hunter Feduccia and Matt Sauer taking their places. Rest assured, you are going to see a lot more of this. The Dodgers have massive depth, and you are going to see it maxed out. Kershaw, Ohtani, Miller, Wrobleski, Frasso, Phillips, Sheehan, Graterol, and others are all pitching possibilities. On the offensive side, it’s likely that we will see Rushing, Freeland, Kim, and maybe Ruiz.
Of course, some fans are calling for the Dodgers to replace, Taylor, Kike, Muncy and Pages. Slow Down! Patience Grasshoppers!
The Dodgers are 9-1 before today’s game. Tyler Glasnow has blown up inexplicably, but move along, there’s nothing to see here, Folks. I think it’s harder for a guy 6′ 8″ to throw off a muddy mount than it is for someone shorter. Stuff happens!
There will be peaks and valleys. Stay calm, breathe, and keep your sanity! Even with a Phillies Grand Slam. This is a long season. There will be twists and turns. Hang on.
We are still out to sea. Stopped at Ensenada, Mexico, and rode horses on the beach and ate some incredible Mexican food from a little “hole-in-the-wall.” We arrive back in Long Beach Tomorrow. Then we have a vendor to see in Valencia on Tuesday, and we fly back on Wednesday.
We almost ended up in jail, as when my wife boarded the cruise ship, they found a bullet in her purse. She went through TSA and the Dodger Stadium Metal Detectors, and they never found it, but the Cruise Ship did. They detained us for about 10 minutes and then laughed about it.
I don’t have much time… maybe I’ll post Monday or Tuesday…
CARRY ON!
P.S. I think that is Bluto in jail with us.

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
Our lineup tonight is not deep in any sense of the word.
You haters are showing your true colors. If you are unhappy now with the present political situation, you are going to be miserable for the next 11 years because I don’t see my any savior coming on the other side and changing the minds of the American voters.
So, let’s shut up about politics, concentrate on whether management replaces Max, Pages and CT3, and how effective Kershaw is gonna be. Mark created this site for baseball fans, not politics. Let’s respect his wishes.
Kiki is NOT an everyday player. It was proven when he played for Boston. We need Freddie back in the lineup which extends the lineup and let’s Kiki be a role player on certain matchup days..The present bottom of the order is doing nothing right now and needs to improve. Pages should sent down and learn how to hit again and work on his defense. NO panic just some viable suggestions.
I am going to suggest that we stick to baseball… which is something some of you know a little about, but think you know more. While economics, politics, and stopping wars are something most have no clue about. Stay away from that because you look like babbling fools. That’s the advice for today. History will be the judge.
I had a great post for today that just got lost in the ether!
The hell with it!
Mark,
Please look one more time in the ether. I need my daily fix 🙂
To those few posters who started talking politics and name calling – knock it off!
You have the power to not respond to a comment and have things escalate.
You need to make the decision if your need to respond is greater than your desire to have this site continue – pretty simple decision from my viewpoint.
It was like some of those posts above that drove Mark to stopping Dodgertalk a while back.
For selfish reasons I really want Mark continuing this site for at least this year.
An MRI confirmed that Snell is not facing any structural damage in his shoulder, per the Orange County Register’s Bill Plunkett. His treatment will likely include an injection of some sort, but the team is hopeful the two-time Cy Young winner will only require a short-term absence.
The Los Angeles Dodgers recalled Justin Wrobleski from Triple-A Oklahoma City and optioned Matt Sauer prior to Tuesday’s game against the Washington Nationals.

Weak Lineup!
weak? that’s putting it mildly
Here we go, walking guys again. As a team, we lead ALL of baseball with the most free passes. Wrobleski comes up, pitches a good inning and two thirds , then walks 3 in a row, including walking in a run. Then a two run single and we’re down by 5 runs. Soooooo irritating. What is going on with the top rated (preseason) pitching staff in baseball ?? Is there such a thing as not getting enough repetitions for throwing strikes ?? Come on guys, make these opposing hitters earn their runs instead of giving em away..
Panic on the streets
No panic, just wake me up in July.
not panic. frustrating. max is a whiff machine. heck , taylor should have been in the lineup for mookie! lol
“The Road” was more uplifting than this trip.
