Joshua William Lindblom (born June 15, 1987 in Lafayette, Indiana) is an American professional baseball pitcher for the Los Angeles Dodgers. Lindblom attended high school at Harrison High School. He was drafted in the third round of the 2005 MLB Draft by the Houston Astros after being listed by Baseball America as the top prospect in the state of Indiana. He was 8-2 as a High School senior with a 2.30 ERA and 117 strikeouts in 76 innings. Rather than sign with the Astros, Lindblom chose to attend the University of Tennessee. After one season with the Volunteers, Lindblom transferred to Purdue University for the 2007 season. He was a starter with Tennessee, but became the closer for Purdue in 2007-2008.




Gordon is in Beast-Mode!

2May2012

403 foot HR by Dee Gordon?  He has evidently been eating his Wheaties.  What a Beast!  Let’s just hope he doesn’t start trying to do that…. I don’t put too much stock in the fact that Lindblom and Jansen got rocked a little...

Face It – Dodgers Have a Closer Problem

By: LA Dodger Talk

26Apr2012

I am not generally one to second-guess managers, especially ones that are my homeboys, but what the heck was Don Mattingly thinking? Javy Guerra was having trouble BEFORE he got hit in the face.  Yes, it was gutsy that Guerra stayed in the game.  Y...

9-1 Start Means That TJ Simers Is Speechless.

By: LA Dodger Talk

16Apr2012

The biggest benefit of the Dodgers 9-1 start is that we don’t have to read TJ Slimers constant Dodger-bashing drivel!  Free at last, free at last free at last!  If this keeps up, he’ll have to take early retirement.  I write this knowi...

Dodgers Just Keep on Keepin’ On

By: LA Dodger Talk

15Apr2012

Last night, James Loney seems to get going a little as he went 2-4.  It’s a start, and all the Dodgers need from him is a typical year.  Anything else is icing on the cake.  Ted Lilly pitched very well and seemed to take up where he left off...

A True Number Two

12Apr2012

Chad Billingsley has pitched like a true #2 starter, and after 2 games he now sports an 0.63 ERA.  What is more telling is that he threw 77 pitches, 55 of which were strikes, and he walked no batters.  If he keeps this up, the Dodgers could have a...

Magical Year?

I admit that I make some predictions with my tongue firmly planted in my cheek, however today I am deadly serious and will give you my honest assessment of how the Dodgers will do this season. First of all, none of us can anticipate exactly what will...

Where’s Waldo and where’s Greg Miller? It scares me when I agree with TJ Slimers, but I too have a lot of questions about the new owners.  TJ articulates it in depth HERE in THE LA TIMES Maybe I’m wrong, but the auction was halted...

What Have We Learned From The Past?

By: LA Dodger Talk

20Jan2012

I want you to consider a few questions and how you would have answered them on January 20, 2010: If I had told you that James Loney would hit more home runs than Andre Ethier in 2010,  would you have probably felt pretty good about the 2010 season?
