The New… & (Greatly) Improved LADT
This was supposed to happen NEXT YEAR. By “this,” I mean Michael Norris and Jeff Dominique were going to join LA DODGER TALK a year from now… but due to technical difficulties, it happened a year early… but for me, it was right on time. I am allegedly retired, but it doesn’t…
This was supposed to happen NEXT YEAR. By “this,” I mean Michael Norris and Jeff Dominique were going to join LA DODGER TALK a year from now… but due to technical difficulties, it happened a year early… but for me, it was right on time. I am allegedly retired, but it doesn’t feel that way most days. US Water Systems is growing at 35% year-over-year with no end in sight. My wife is in the process of opening two restaurants (I am involved with construction and permitting).
I maintain our property (including mowing), which is 3.7 acres and has the house and three other buildings. We opened a new branch in Tampa, Florida yesterday, and oh, I am in the final editing stages for the next 15 weeks on my book, which will be released in July (“The Mountain Mover”), so I am insanely busy. My overall health is great, but arthritis is gradually taking all my joints. I need a second hip replacement, back surgery, and knee replacement surgery. I have had hip and shoulder replacement already.
I am not complaining – life is good. Five Kids, seven grandchildren (and counting), and a Shadrack.
I am beyond blessed. However, I was glad to get Jeff’s call about moving up the timeline. Jeff and Bear have Carte Blanche to do whatever they want. I have never edited or censored what they say, and I never will. This is their home as much as it is mine. I am beyond happy they are both here. WOW!
Also, everyone from LA Dodger Chronicles is welcome here. Welcome to the new LA Dodger Talk. I’m glad you are all here.
Let’s Roll!

Enjoy it While You Can!
It was both surprising and not surprising to me that the Dodgers signed Kyle Tucker. That they can make it work is a tribute to the true genius of Mark Walter and Andrew Friedman. Enjoy it while you can, because it will end soon. In the upcoming CBA and talks among owners, MLB…
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…

Disagree, not disagreeable
He is on unreal heater.
And a fly out to dead CF at the 415 sign. It feels even better that the Vagiants had him and traded him for a cancer
Too bad he can’t play 2b 😉
Tibbs with another dinger and a near miss his first AB
Thank you – I will.
