Are you disappointed that the Dodgers are calling up Alex Freeland instead of James Tibbs III who is tearing up AAA and represents a left handed spark in the outfield the team could need?

12 years old. He sorted a Costco box of Topps into teams, all 29 of them..

Unfortunately he didn’t have the instinct to do the same to the Astros. But to his credit again, he shredded a Manny Machado.

The Dodgers will start the series against the Cardinals and hopefully we will continue our trajectory towards winning for the postseason.
Let’s go!

with arte moreno selling the angels, we should remember the biggest thing he did to help us kickstart our dynasty. unfortunately, this hollywood lifestyle gimmick will have to be largely reduced or retired

arte moreno signed this 'hollywood lifestyle' guy back in dec 2019 to a 7/245M contract and it turned out to be a disaster. however, we ended up trading for mookie betts 2 months later and we have won 3 WS with betts and counting !

hollywood is the biggest bullet dodged in dodger history and LA fans shouldn't forget it ! however, it is clear the hollywood lifestyle gimmick won't be as effective anymore with hollywood no longer on the angels and the arte, the guy who signed him, no longer owning them. therefore, after 7 years, I'll have to eventually largely reduce or retire the gimmick

however, it should not be forgotten how this non-signing of mr hollywood changed the history of dodger baseball and I'll still quietly celebrate dec 11, the anniversary of hollywood signing with the angels. also ... angel fans are still kinda fun to troll.

Planning my first trip to Dodger Stadium for the 2028 Olympics. I'm looking at tickets and would love to know from Dodgers regulars what the best sections are (I know LA 2028 is using a category system for areas in the ball park). Thoughts?

I know it's looking bad right with how our bats are performing, but going through Gilliam posts, I found this one and found the thread to be an interesting perspective. Here's how we felt before they ended up repeating.

I feel like last year it was happening a few times a month, but this year I don't even remember the last time it happened. I miss our elite closer Kike, and our chameleon Rojas closing out our games.

[Fabian] - Josue De Paula nearing the bigs for the Dodgers, with help from an All-Star mentor

Jason Heyward was once next for the Atlanta Braves, who counted on him to perpetuate the cycle of success. Heyward was billed as the top prospect in the sport before launching a 16-year career in which he became an All-Star, a top-billed free agent, a clubhouse leader and finally someone trying to hold on.

That perspective is why the Dodgers brought Heyward on as a special assistant this spring, and why one of his first assignments was to shadow De Paula and impress upon him his reality.

“He’s done a lot to earn the attention he’s getting now,” Heyward told The Athletic. “It’s also one of those things where you see guys sometimes not realize that, ‘Hey, you’re very close. You’re closer than you think to that next level and have an opportunity to start your career.'”

[Insider Piece] - The Dodgers purchase that launched Mark Walter’s sports empire

Now, 14 years later, federal investigations into other companies in Walter’s empire and his surprising decision to sell his majority stake in the NBA’s Los Angeles Lakers have brought renewed attention to his initial entry into the sports world.

When he bought the Dodgers, some powerful figures in MLB ownership circles had questions about how Walter, CEO of Guggenheim Partners, planned to fund the purchase. But they also reveled in what his record-shattering $2.15 billion bid would mean for their own teams’ valuations.

Some MLB owners privately questioned Walter’s use of insurance money in financing the team’s purchase, according to contemporaneous news reports and recent interviews conducted by The Athletic. But during the sale, MLB’s central office and the league’s other franchise owners didn’t have the full control they normally wield. A federal bankruptcy judge oversaw the process.

Marc Ganis, president of the Chicago-based sports business consultancy SportsCorp, said the bankruptcy left MLB with little room to object.

“If left to their own devices, I think it would have been very unlikely that Major League Baseball would have approved this source of capital,” Ganis said. “But, because it happened through a bankruptcy process, baseball’s hands were tied.”

Just how much control MLB surrendered during the bankruptcy — and whether the league ultimately would have approved Walter’s ownership group without the court’s involvement — is unclear.

Two people briefed on ownership matters who were not authorized to speak publicly told The Athletic that Walter’s bid likely would have been rejected through the league’s typical process.

Josue De Paula is the highest-ranked position player still playing every day at Double-A

De Paula, MLB Pipeline's No. 6 overall prospect, is hitting .307/.402/.553 with 26 homers, 99 RBI and 29 steals at Double-A Tulsa, a 25/25 season no Dodger farmhand has produced before him. He's 21, offers at just 14 percent of pitches outside the zone, and the org has called him the most advanced young hitter they've had since Corey Seager. September's roster expansion is the mechanism now, the same one that got Kade Anderson skipped straight to the majors last month. Full breakdown in this week's issue.

Muncy had a 1.043 OPS over 7 NLCS games, and a .944 OPS across 6 WS games that postseason.

Before anyone says anything yes, Corey was a step above. But Max was hitting cleanup and just as important to have in that lineup.
