Random rantings and ravings about the Los Angeles Dodgers, written by a small consortium of rabid Dodger fans. With occasional comments on baseball, entertainment, pop culture, and life in general.
Emmet Sheehan (3-5, 5.32) vs. Michael King (5-6, 3.33).
Michael King, like Randy Vasquez last night, was one of five players that came over from the Yankees when the Padres traded Juan Soto in 2023. Vasquez got lit up for 5 ER and 7 R last night in 3.1 IP. Let's greet King with the same sort of warmth and win this series!
3/27 vs. AZ (W, 6-4): AC

5/11 vs. SF (L, 3-9): Sax
5/25 vs. COL (W, 5-3): Sax
6/11 @ PIT (W, 8-6): Sax

I have extra prosecco from hanging out with SoSG Orel yesterday morning. We are going to drink that during this game. Let’s see how long I last
How is machado only batting .183
Machado pops to Mookie for the first out in the second. 0-0
Ohtani RBI brings in Freeland! 1-0
Ohtani on first. Freeland advanced to second on a Chuckie bunt.
Why is Pages using that challenge there?! Stupid
And Pages Ks soon thereafter.
EK is all over Pages for stupid challenges. And he’s right. pages is a challenge black hole
Pages: 6-for-14 on challenges
EK is talking sense here: only challenge when it could change win expectancy.
And then Freeman is rung up on a questionable strike 3 call, but he can’t challenge because Pages is an idiot and wasted it
1-0 LA, mid-3
Sheehan has a man on second with one out, but gets Tatis to fly out to Chuckie, and then Ks Taylor.
1-0 LA through 3
Edman forces Muncy for the second out.
Machado goes yard and ties the game at 1.
Ugh
4-1 LA, Vesia in for the bottom of the sixth. He lets Merrill reach in an infield single (Vesia forgets to cover first). Then one pitch and Machado flies to Pages. One out.
“What’s with those uniforms?” —Ms Sax
That’s the SD uniforms, not us.
Vesia asleep and Merrill takes second.
Vesia Ks Sheets. Two out
And Vesia is already pulled. Will Klein in to face Bogearts
The prosecco got to me. I took a nap there
Boegarts knocks in Merrill. 4-2 LA
Klein plunks Andujar.

Tatis up with none on and one out.
Tatis strokes an opposite-field base hit. One out
Here’s Samad Taylor, who is 0-for-3 with 3 Ks so far
Klein gives Taylor the golden sombrero. Fourth K
Roberts goes to Tanner Scott with two out in the seventh.
Scott disposes Merrill on three pitches. Wow
4-2 LA through 7
Edman batting from the right on Wandy Peralta
Edman rung up, then Tucker run up.
Scott had two on with none out, and gets a K and then a 5-4-3 DP to end the eighth!
4-2 LA through eight
Henriquez in for the bottom of the ninth and a two-run lead 😬
Song flies to Pages for the first out.
Full count to Fermin
Henriquez walks Fermin, so Tatis is the tying run 😬
Tatis GIDPs to Mookie to end the game!!!
Betts with a double play like the end of the 2025 WS. Wow
