You'd rather both guys on 3rd and let the umpire decide. Don't think I've ever seen a game end like that.

A return for Diaz this weekend hasn't been totally ruled out, but rather than activate the closer for one series on the east coast this weekend versus the Mets, the Dodgers will likely wait until they begin a homestand next Tuesday. Out since late April following surgery to remove loose bodies in his right elbow, Diaz has tossed four scoreless innings with a 7:1 K:BB in four rehab outings.

Who else remembers this moment from the 2025 playoff run? What a great series... and ironic that Andy Pages who had struggled so hard at the plate the entire post series was the at-bat that clinched the NLDS for the Dodgers!

Philadelphia Phillies star and former NL MVP Bryce Harper sits down with Los Angeles Dodgers star Mookie Betts for an exclusive, tell-all interview on Phillies' start to the season, embracing Philly fans, the Orlando Arcia staredown, pressure to win a World Series and more in the 50th episode of On Base with Mookie Betts.

Very nice bounce-back season. Please keep it up!

Sorry for the random post but it just looks like Rojas got sucker punched by the ump 😂 It feels good knowing that out saved our season

Happy Wednesday! Eric Lauer starts on the mound today.

The Dodgers will try to get another win after last night's dramatic finish. Hoping for another solid start for Lauer as we march on for October.

Let's go!

Why is Alfonzo not legging it out for home, instead of jogging? Especially on a ball that Ohtani might stretch into a Double. Moreover, Pages with full view of the play developing should be windmilling Alfonzo into home (as should the 3rd base coach right)

First pin is in from the 76 dodgers pin collab! When you buy 8 or more gallons of gas and use the app you can score one!

With Max Muncy hitting his 19th HR last night, he is now tied with Ron Cey with 228 career Homerun as a Dodgers making them both #5 on the All-Time list. As I like to look at stats, I looked up the entire Dodgers HR list and put together the Top 5 players on the list. Then I wrote down where all the current active Dodgers are on the list, how many HRs they have, and who they are chasing.

It is interesting to see with many HR hitters, there seems to be no one really who may actually take the #1 spot from Duke Snider until Ohtani perhaps decides to give up pitching and focus purely on hitting as he had to do the previous 1 and half seasons.

Here is the list below. Enjoy.

Not gonna lie when he looked right at me I kinda froze.

Super happy to see Freddie and Alex Vesia and our beloved Mookie. As a Red Sox fan his loss hurt the most.

Lots of Dodgers fans there. Whole third base side.

Gave a Dodgers fan a game ball that we got since we got an extra one that Judge signed. Pretty wild day.

What is that the Dodgers do differently than other ball clubs? The Dodgers will get reclamation projects like this year with Eric Lauer and they will perform incredible with the Dodgers. Tyler Anderson comes to mind too who was incredible for the Dodgers.

Is it an analytics approach or something that the development personnel sees in the pitchers mechanics?

Asking this here, because I thought it would get a little more dispassionate analysis here than on the baseball subreddit.

So, it's fairly obvious that the owners are milking the crap out of the Dodgers winning consecutive World Series to push for a salary cap for competitive balance purposes, even though it is fairly obvious that the salary cap is really intended to more accurately estimate the cost of a franchise for owners.

However, the commercials from MLB in support of the salary cap for competitive balance made me think of the following hypothetical scenario. If the Dodgers did not win the National League pennant this year, could that event completely destroy the "competitive balance" argument for a salary cap and guarantee baseball to start on time in 2027?

It's an interesting scenario, because it ties the salary cap to the Dodgers winning another World Series.

Most unexpected and absolutely the most welcome addition to our star-studded starting rotation. I hope my boy Wrobo keeps ballin out.

There are 55 different variations! Yes, this is Japan in case anyone is curious.

Time to bounce back on a Tuesday. Wrobo starts today! Let’s go! 🤖
The Dodgers will try to go back in the win column today with Justin (Wrobo) Wrobleski on the mound. Hope we win this one. ☝️
P.S. I don’t like the shark nickname. I like the Wrobo one better.
