The Los Angeles Dodgers had a late start to Tuesday night’s game due to bees. Seriously.

The Dodgers then ended up losing in extra innings on a Christian Walker walk-off two-run home run, almost five hours after first pitch was supposed to take place. Off the field, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts gave tons of injury updates, and made it clear the Dodgers are still a ways away from getting some of their guys back to Los Angeles. Also, Walker Buehler made ..read more

The friendship between outfielder Teoscar Hernández and designated hitter Shohei Ohtani was introduced to Los Angeles Dodgers fans during spring training. The two sought out the other in a clubhouse full of holdovers. Only seven current Dodgers are in their first year with the organization. Their friendship isn’t about fluency, it’s about connection. “We’re the new guys,” Hernández said in an interview with Stephanie Apstein of Sports Illustrated.

Freddie Freeman went three games without a hit and needed to figure out how to get back on track. He wasn’t hitting the ball hard and wasn’t finding the gaps for extra bases until April 21. That day, he went 2-for-3 with two doubles and is currently on a nine-game hitting streak. His return to Toronto showed that slowing down can speed things up. Of the eight balls Freeman put in play during the Dodgers’ series in Toronto, six were hit 98 mph or harder, according to Statcast. That includes a 106-mph home run Sunday, his second of the year. He entered the weekend averaging 87.9 mph on all ball ..read more

The Los Angeles Dodgers had 44 at-bats against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Monday night in an 8-4 win. For the first time, the entire lineup was on the same page. Over the last couple of weeks, Dodgers Nation has hammered the lower third of the lineup for not taking good at-bats, striking out too much, and being rally killers. However, all nine batters flexed their muscle on Monday and ravaged a worn-down D-backs pitching staff. They didn’t strike out. The Dodgers are the first Major League offense with no strikeouts in a game this season. ? pic.twitter.com/Gz9QZI2Pzj — Los Angeles Dodgers ..read more

I don't want to put an ..read more

Major League Baseball sent a memo to the MLB Players Association addressing the uniform disaster that has plagued the league in 2024. In an appearance on the Foul Territory show, Dodgers pitcher Tyler Glasnow was asked if he was excited Nike was going to address the jersey problems. Glasnow didn’t hold back his disdain for the current uniforms. “I had no idea that was even a thing. Sweet. Yeah, they’re pretty bad. I personally don’t care a ton just because I play once a week. Maybe it’s different for a position player because of, like, sliding, and there’s a lot of other different elements ..read more
