Tarik Skubal. Is he a Dodger? Do they need him? Los Angeles Times beat writer Maddie Lee and columnists Bill Plaschke and Mirjam Swanson really think so, and Plaschke has an exclusive “picture” of him in a Dodgers jersey!
The Los Angeles Dodgers visited the White House. It was hot. It was sort of odd? But mostly hot. But now that it’s over, we can get back to baseball. Los Angeles Times beat writer Maddie Lee and columnists Bill Plaschke and Mirjam Swanson talk about the visit but then hit the trade deadline talk hard, with vastly different opinions on what the Dodgers should, or shouldn’t, do.
The second half of the baseball season is upon us and the Dodgers ended the first half looking… sort of sloppy. Shohei Ohtani might not be on the mound for a while. Will Smith might not be back yet and no one is sure when. And now, starting pitching is an issue. Los Angeles Times beat writer Maddie Lee and columnists Bill Plaschke and Mirjam Swanson break down what the team needs to do in the second half to make sure they not only get to October, but get to the end of that month as well.
Shocking news: the Los Angeles Dodgers are really good. And they haven't really even been clicking at the same time yet. Mookie Betts is looking like Mookie Betts, but injuries are still an issue. However, we're at the halfway point of the season almost and they look unstoppable. Los Angeles Times beat writer Maddie Lee and columnists Bill Plaschke and Mirjam Swanson talk about who is the MVP so far, who is improving and Roki Sasaki: the team's biggest issue at the moment.
Shohei Ohtani and Dalton Rushing aren’t really working. Will Smith, the starting catcher, is still on the injured list and not coming back soon. What do the Dodgers do? Los Angeles Times beat writer Maddie Lee and columnists Bill Plaschke and Mirjam Swanson look at how Rushing can improve, why he needs to and what happens if he can’t work with Ohtani.
Shohei Ohtani’s finger is being ripped open due to a blister. He has a knee issue. IS HE FALLING APART? Los Angeles Times beat writer Maddie Lee and columnists Bill Plaschke and Mirjam Swanson look at the best player in baseball’s issues and wonder if it’s that time of the season where Ohtani could sit for a bit and heal up before the postseason.
The Los Angeles Dodgers bullpen is coming back to earth, blowing numerous games lately. And is Shohei Ohtani going to watch a new catcher after some ABS issues? Los Angeles Times beat writer Maddie Lee and columnists Bill Plaschke and Mirjam Swanson look into the team’s recent pitching woes and wax philosophical about the 2020 World Series ahead of the team’s series against the Tampa Bay Devil Rays
The Los Angeles Dodgers seem to be cruising at the moment, comfortably first in their division. Injured players are healing, some are coming back to form and the bullpen has been lights out. However, fans seem to still be stressed for some reason. Los Angeles Times beat writer Maddie Lee and columnists Bill Plaschke and Mirjam Swanson talk about why they think some fans are getting angry and who they’d trade for Detroit Tigers pitcher Tarik Skubal.
