This may well be the last pic I post this year from Dodger Stadium. Although generally not one to boo the home team, I did give Treinen 2 lungs full of "GET ON THE BUS TO WALLA WALLA!" before he left the pitcher's mound.

DFA BlaQe Treinen, recall Roki Sasaki for the bullpen.

Vesia can't come out of the pen fast enough.

Never get tired of this, nor take it for granted: www.mlb.com/video/shohei...

Tommy Edman atones for his previous AB with a HR.

Michael Conforto against the Giants specifically is the guy they hoped for in the offseason.

My daughter is now gloating to the rest of the family now that fave (Conforto) just hit a HR.

Re-upping my suggested MLB rule change that the consequence of a HPB shouldn't just be the batter takes 1st, but that the pitcher who threw it takes his own DH's turn at the next opportunity.

MUNCINATOR X! Breathing a little bit of hope into a moribund shitshow.

Whoa! L.A. news outlets completely missed the story on the fatal Rosslyn Hotel fire. TikTokker Da'Ron (@da.ron_/) was on the scene when it was blazing out the window and there were NO ALARMS sounding. He screamed to wake residents up. What a hero. And WTF? www.tiktok.com/@da.ron_/vid...

Anyone know what's going on at Westchester High right now? Saw a whole buncha cars cueing up on Manchester, cop cars, and an ambulance pulling away. #Comets

Chalk 3 up & 3 down for the ursine cocaine lord.

Silly-ass superstition question: has Dieter Ruehle played "I am the Walrus" since Tommy Edman returned? The team is missing something.

The one good thing about Blake Snell allowing two singles is that Joe Davis can't jinx him by talking about his no-hit innings. Hopefully, Snell can stay on the mound long enough to limit the effluent that will inevitably flow from the bullpen.
