The Dodgers Will Win it For Quasimodo
None of us are getting out of this thing alive – that is a given. Quasimodo (“Quas”) has been part of this blog for as long as I can remember. Not everyone knows his “backstory,” but I do. Quas has had his challenges, and now he faces the final challenge before he goes to be…
None of us are getting out of this thing alive – that is a given. Quasimodo (“Quas”) has been part of this blog for as long as I can remember. Not everyone knows his “backstory,” but I do. Quas has had his challenges, and now he faces the final challenge before he goes to be with the Big Dodger in the Sky. Quas and I were not close friends… mostly due to where he lives and where I live, but we both had each other’s backs. We both understood and understand. I count him as a friend.
I believe that Quas is at peace but has one final wish, and that is for the Boys of Summer to win one final Championship in his lifetime. That’s not too much to ask! In fact, most (if not all) of us wish for the same thing! OK, it’s settled. Let’s win it for the Quas! This is for Quas:
Our thoughts and prayers are with you, Quas. Godspeed!
Back to Dodger Baseball
Jayne Cobb had the understatement of the year, “These guys are pretty good at baseball.” Ya’ Think? Now, Max Muncy is challenging for a batting title… well maybe that is a stretch, but Max is gaining traction in his BA! Even Miguel Vargas is auditioning to come back, as he went 2-3 last night in OKC and is at .302.
Now, the preparation for the playoffs begins. There will be no comebacks this year. Book ’em, Dano. The West belongs to the Dodgers. Arizona just had their spirit broken!
Ryan Pepiot pitched as good as he ever has… better, in fact, and then Yarbrough comes in and finishes it off. That’s a great combination. Even Austin Barnes may get over .200!
Strider and Lynn tonight. This should be fun!
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…

Disagree, not disagreeable
Julio is costing himself millions of these days.
Ain’t no point watching these games after seeing Peralta get rung up by a called strike that was 6 inches out of the zone. Disgusting!!
Thomas, yes I did. In fact, I grew up within walking distance from Ebbets Field, and attended more than a few games there in 1957 and 1958. And unlike other Dodger fans in Brooklyn I couldn’t abandon them after they moved following the 1957 season.
For the sake of the organization, and Julio himself, ..Roberts needs a sit-down heart-to-heart with Urias…
immediately!!
I’m sure that Roberts communicates regularly with Urias. A sit down heart to heart is probably the last thing they need, and if it’s necessary, I’m sure they’ve already had it. As for Urias’ lack of velocity, I suspect that’s something the Dodgers are aware of, and will address soon. It’s certainly not something that can be ignored.
So Julio reminds us why AF also wanted to add Eduardo Rodriguez…..
Just when it seems that Dodger rotation is fixed, it breaks down. Rough outings from Lynn and Julio against the team the Dodgers need to beat. Those Braves are damn good.
Silver linings: Kolten Wong, obviously. And Outman got on base three times with a single and two walks. His OB% is now .361, which is fourth among Dodger regulars.
Fried over Urias is the Braves biggest advantage. That’s 2 games to overcome in October.
Dodgers win the Dominion Summer League playoffs over the Pirates 9-5.
