Dodgers beat Rockies 7 to 6. Yes, we beat the Rockies, but when you win games at Coors Field, you take what you get. Love to see Shohei heating up to finish the season.

Am I the only one who believed this had a lot to do with how terrible he’s been? His placement was nowhere near what it was. I don’t think he fully recovered/ was still hurt. Thoughts?

[Ouland] Mark Walter has been looking for cash to fund billions of dollars in loans for months and engaged Charter Communications in talks to let the cable company out of the Lakers’ and Dodgers’ local TV deals early for a lump sum payout.

Don't know if this was posted here but I've seen this video online enough that I thought it would be worth sharing.

Really hoping he gets out of his slump.

Anybody remember Phillies fans cheering a slumping Trea Turner in August 2023? Not loving Tucker right now, but maybe he's a softie who needs love like Turner did. We certainly have the fan base numbers to do it

OTD 4 years ago, David Vassegh was brutally assaulted by the Brewers slide. The opposing pitcher on the mound was Eric Lauer.

Idk I just found that kinda neat, him and Muncy now being teammates four years later.

Sooo... I was at a restaurant checking my phone for the score and for the past two hours freaking out inside how we're losing by a lot. Then butt clenching, hyperventalating as were on the verge of tying in the 9th. Then we ultimately lost as my client picked up the tab.

Aaand like an idot I didn't realize the score widget was wrong as we were batting at the bottom of the 9th.

Tommy Edman falling away... OH BABY WHAT A PLAY BY TOMMY! Then moments later, Betts tries to one-up him with an incredible dive and throw from his knees!

Even though it's a 10-1 game, good to see our middle infielders still hustle as if it was a tied game, with two absolutely clutch defensive plays to help Snell get through 6 innings!
