I just noticed the above photo of one of the Dodger bubble machines used last season by the Dodgers. Apparently, it is now retired for good as it was auctioned off at the Dodger Foundation Gala held the other night.
From what I understand, there were several different bubble machines used last season so fans shouldn't be too worried that it's legacy has been diminished. Instead, you should be grateful that it was auctioned off to the highest bidder for a great cause. Besides, bubbles are not entirely disappearing from Dodger Stadium. A couple weeks ago I mentioned that Gazillion Bubbles was recently named the “Official Bubbles of the Los Angeles Dodgers” for the 2015 MLB season, and they will be making their first visit tomorrow at Viva Los Dodgers.
Below are some links to check out:
- ICYMI, the Dodgers called up Adam Liberatore from AAA to join the club in Colorado for yesterday's game.
- Via Ron Cervenka at Think Blue LA, "Chris Hatcher is back after hitting small speed bump."
The Dodgers have recalled LHP Adam Liberatore from Triple-A. He’ll be with the team tonight vs. Colorado.

“I wouldn’t necessarily say that I’ve done anything [mechanically], my stuff’s always been there, it’s just how to use it,” said Hatcher after Tuesday night’s exciting come-from-behind 6-5 win over the Seattle Mariners. “A little more confident in it tonight. I didn’t go right after guys with the fastball, I mixed it up a little bit more. When you throw somewhat hard and you’re mixing your split [finger fastball] with your slider, it’s a different look. Everything was good tonight, I like the way it came out.”
- The Dodgers made another move. Per a press release, they have claimed right-handed pitcher Daniel Corcino from Cincinnati and designated left-handed pitcher Ryan Dennick for assignment. Eric Stephen at True Blue LA tells us a bit about him.
- Oscar Martinez at Lasorda's Lair compares and contrast the comments made by Magic and Ice Cube regarding TWC; "Magic Johnson And Ice Cube Weigh in on the Dodger's TV Fiasco."
- BTW, Oscar is an avid collector and maintains his own card collector blog called, "All Trade Bait, All the Time." He currently has a new post up where he shares his visit to the Institute For Baseball Studies at Whittier College. Go here to check it out. Oscar shares some fantastic photos of some vintage 1960's era glasses a patron had just dropped off.
- Hanley doing Hanley things. Via Chris Cwik at Big League Stew, "Hanley Ramirez hit a ball so hard that he put a hole in the outfield wall."
