GET THAT BABY GOAT YOGA ON. OH, AND GOOD MORNING, G.O.A.T! 🐐
💻️ COMPUTER PROBLEMS: MacDaddy (my MacBook Air) is finally back up-and-running after being revived from computer problems. Though I was not surprised as the Mac is six-years old, I was surprised with how much creativity can be acquired when away from the computer for a bit of time. And so my message to us all as we come back together on this Wednesday is to enjoy our LA outdoors as much as we possibly can, especially as the temperatures continue to climb.
Onto today’s good vibes! 🔽

🧢 DODGERS 15, RANGERS 5: The Dodgers smashed their way to a 15-2 victory over the reigning World Series champions, the Texas Rangers, last night. The highlight of the game was an explosive seven-run sixth inning, featuring homers from Shohei Ohtani, Freddie Freeman, Teoscar Hernández, and Jason Heyward. Ohtani’s 16th homer of the season, a 433-foot blast, kicked off the frenzy, with Freeman, Hernández, and Heyward following suit in a rare display of back-to-back-to-back-to-back dingers. Will Smith also shined with a three-run homer in the first inning, setting the tone early. James Paxton delivered a strong performance, allowing just one run over six innings. Rangers’ starter Dane Dunning struggled, and the bullpen couldn't contain the Dodgers' relentless offense. | The Dodgers play game two in the series against the Texas Rangers at home tonight, 7:10pm.
⚾️ ANGELS 9, DIAMONDBACKS 4: Randal Grichuk's two-run homer headlined a three-hit night, as the Arizona Diamondbacks surged past the Angels 9-4 yesterday. Grichuk, just a single shy of the cycle, and Corbin Carroll, a homer short of the same feat, led a potent Arizona offense. Gabriel Moreno added two doubles and two RBIs. The D-backs, showing situational and timely hitting, got the scoring started with Carroll's RBI triple. The Angels briefly tied it up in the third, but Grichuk's two-run blast in the fourth put Arizona back on top. José Suarez, making his first start of the season, struggled, while Arizona's Jordan Montgomery delivered a solid performance after recent struggles. Both teams face off again in Arizona tonight with Slade Cecconi and José Soriano set to pitch, 6:40pm.
