The Good, The Bad and The Ugly
The Good Emmit Sheehan i s Special, and I am not looking at the fact he pitched five innings and allowed one run. I am looking at the shape of his pitches, his velocity, and the fact that he is frequently out of the zone by just a bit, which induces a lot of chase. This is a guy…
The Good
- Emmit Sheehan is Special, and I am not looking at the fact he pitched five innings and allowed one run. I am looking at the shape of his pitches, his velocity, and the fact that he is frequently out of the zone by just a bit, which induces a lot of chase. This is a guy who may be in the playoff rotation.
- Will Klein has a lot of potential. He will get better and better.
- Dalton Rushing may be the best catcher on the Dodgers and Will Smith is damn good!
- Hyeseong Kim‘s defense at 2B is incredible… maybe Mookie stays at SS for a couple more years.
The Bad
- The Dodger offense… what offense?
- Shohei Ohtani‘s offense since he became a pitcher.
The Ugly
- Tanner Scott has been paid and lost his edge. He signed his big deal and is fat and happy.
In all seriousness, the Dodgers are just sleepwalking… and going through the motions… and that is what they should be doing with a seven-game lead. They say, “You can’t just flip a switch.” Yes, you can!
- Bryan Reynolds has a no-trade provision to the Yankees, Mets, Blue Jays, Dodgers, Giants, and Padres. Evidently, he is a loser and likes being on losing teams.
- Nick Senzel is heating up at OKC. He can play 3B and LF. After being drafted #2 in the 2016 draft he has never reached his potential.
- Bobby Miller is still a train wreck.

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 (91)
Disagree, not disagreeable
Maybe Reynolds averse to attention? Winning clubs get more media attention and all those named clubs win more than lose. Weird.
LA has been swept twice at home this year, both by AL West teams. The Stros and the Angels. LA still 7 games in front of both SD and SF. Padres are getting Yu Darvish back. Nats fired GM Mike Rizzo and the manager, Dave Martinez. They also signed Luis Garcia. After these last 6 games before the break, LA faces the Brewers and Twins in LA then the Red Sox and Reds on the road up until the trading deadline.
Julian Fernandez getting called up today….
Just one a those weekends…it happens….

Kike, Edman, Freddie, Mookie, Teo—not sleepwalking–fighting injuries
