Déjà vu – All Over Again

May 3, 2026

The Dodgers almost came back last night when their backs were against the wall… but it was not to be. Instead, they lost their 4th in a row and are 4-6 in their last 10 games. I predicted that the Dodgers would go through some times this year where they looked like they were sleepwalking – disinterested, playing without urgency, and looking like they were not worthy of winning another…

The Leadoff Man

April 24, 2026

There has been a lot of conversation recently about who should hit leadoff for the Dodgers. Shohei Ohtani has been the leadoff hitter in nearly every game he has played for the Dodgers in 2024 and 2025, and it remains the same this year. Oh, and I should mention that with Ohtani leading off, the Dodgers have always won the World Series. They are going for their third in a row, with…

The Arms Race

April 19, 2026

It’s early, and the Rockies have no chance at even getting to 10 games below .500 this year, so the Dodgers are their shot at fame. That’s a thing… but also the Los Angeles Dodgers have some arm issues. Roki Sazaki can’t throw strikes, and his velocity is about 5 MPH off his top speed last year. I think Edwin Diaz needs Tommy John… No, I really do. I am…

Just Stuff

April 16, 2026

Dodgers Down on the Farm Report These idiots at ChatGPT got it all wrong 4 times this AM. I switched to Anthropic, and it refused every credit card I gave them. AIs are morons. This is what they sent, and it’s all wrong: Wednesday, April 15, 2026 No guesses. No hallucinations. Just what actually happened. 🔵 Triple-A — Oklahoma City Comets ❌ OKC 4, Albuquerque 7 🎯 Game Story OKC…

The Legend of Three Dingers (and One Very Sad Baseball)

April 12, 2026

DISCLAIMER: It was a late Friday night in Indiana (1 AM-ish), and when Edwin Diaz came in with a 7-4 lead, I almost went to bed, but something told me to stay up. I’m glad I did. Here’s the tale… Ladies and gentlemen, gather ‘round — because on Friday night at the Ravine, Max Muncy did not simply have a baseball game… he hosted a fireworks show with a side…

Book ’em!

April 10, 2026

Tonight, we see Kumar Rocker, the 6′ 5″, 245-pound RH, #3 Draft Pick in the 2022 Draft, pitch against Tyler Glasnow. Well, Tyler is not going to hit against him, so there is that! Minor League Overview OKC Comets: They are now 5-7 after losing 6-5 to Round Rock. Of note is that Fitzgerald is smoking hot (.415) and went 4-5 last night. Ehrhard was 3-5, and Noah Miller was 3-3…

Sleepwalking & Old Age

April 6, 2026

The Dodgers are 7-2, but it feels like they can do better. Tonight starts the World Series rematch, and the Blue Jays are 4-5. It feels like they have slipped a notch or two in the talent department. It will be fun to watch the series, but games right about now mean very little. It also feels like the Dodgers are just sleepwalking. Mookie Betts again has had another setback….

The Dodgers Don’t Need CJ Abrams… But…

April 5, 2026

Watford Dodger has been CJ Abrams’ agent since Christ was in Cleveland. BTW: Happy Easter to Everyone! I was never a fan because of his youthful immaturity… and he is still there to some degree, but I do think he is going to have a monster bat. There is 30 HR potential in that bat, and he’s a potential .300 hitter with mid-.800 OPS. The thing is: he is not…

The New… & (Greatly) Improved LADT

April 2, 2026

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….
