Sound Bytes, or is it Sound Bites?
What’s for breakfast? How about some Stone-Ground Deviled Rays? If you have not been paying attention, maybe you have not noticed what The Bazooka has been doing: He has been taking 2-3 MPH off his fastball, and it is moving like crazy. He can still throw the Big Kahuna Heater…
- What’s for breakfast? How about some Stone-Ground Deviled Rays?
- If you have not been paying attention, maybe you have not noticed what The Bazooka has been doing: He has been taking 2-3 MPH off his fastball, and it is moving like crazy. He can still throw the Big Kahuna Heater occasionally, but hitters can time flat pitches… they can’t time movement!
- As I suspected, Julio Urias’s bullpen session has been pushed back. I think his hamstring is worse than advertised. It may be a couple more weeks for him to return. Certainly not the end of May.
- Mookie is starting to earn his pay!
- Freddie is on an MVP Mission.
- Justin Turner or JDM?
- Michael Grove last night – 5.2 IP/5 H/0R/0 BB/7 K
- I think Alex Vesia will be back soon. He has worked his ERA down to 4.66.
Fierce Lineup:
- Betts RF
- Freeman 1B
- Martinez DH
- Taylor LF
- Muncy 3B
- Vargas 2B
- Rojas SS
- Thompson CF
- Barnes C
Gavin Stone -P
Today is the day CT3, Rojas, Thompson, and Barnes breakout (with hives).
More from Dodger Talk
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…
