What do I make of the game two debacle in Seoul. Very little! We know that the pitchers are better than that. Now, I realize that some Dodgers fans are so skilled in their analysis of players that after one game or one inning they can make a determination as to whether that player needs to go back to OKC or the boneyard. I am not that skilled! I wish I were. I do know that this Seoul Series caused both teams to cut short their Spring Training Regimen and also that just regular nerves which sometimes appear early in the season are a thing. I actually saw a lot to like.

  • I like the fact that the Dodgers just kept coming back.
  • Well… actually, that’s all I liked.

If this teams scores eleven runs, they are usually going to win. Just not today. I was heartened to see Gavin Lux look relaxed and confident at 2B in both games. I am convinced that the team made the right decision flipping Mookie and Gavin and unlike some people who think playing SS is going to somehow ruin Mookie, I think Mookie can stay there for two or three years.

I was also excited that Will Smith went 4-6 and I put zero stock in Max Muncy’s errors. The pitching was rough at best. OK, it was bad! It’s one game and nobody on the mound looked good. Nothing to see here, Folks… move along. The Freeway Series starts Sunday. Then, it starts all over again a week from today. The Dodgers are 1-1 and I will take it!

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…
