This is going to be typical Dodgers.

No Betts Freeman Sasaki walks five and is pulled after three IP but bullpen and offense covers it all up.

Amazing that Steele has done as well as he has pitching in the Drew Thorpe speed zone.

Dodgers win again, with a Betts walk-off.  Tigers roughed up Tanner Scott (great Dodger defense minimized damage).

0-2 Tigers are tough, and remain my pick to win the AL Central.  They're going to be a problem.

Yeah just a little surprised the Tigers blew a 5-3 lead with their pen.

Their big reward is Sasaki tmrw.

Sasaki struggled again.

Didn't get out of the second inning...60+ pitches and four walks.

 

intentionally walking Ohtani backfires...

"Teoscar Hernández doubles (1) on a sharp ground ball to left fielder Riley Greene, deflected by third baseman Zach McKinstry. Michael Conforto scores. Shohei Ohtani scores"

4-2 Dodgers

Tommy Edman with three homers already.

Five guys with over 900 ops.

First team since 1984-1985 Tigers to start following season after a WS win at 5-0 or better.

Fifth starter Dustin May attempting to get the Dodgers to 7-0 against the Braves.

Gonsolin is out/injured with a back problem.

Still waiting on Kershaw and Ohtani.

Not bad problems to have...

 

Pitching duel tonight with Sale vs. May @ Chavez Ravine...1-0 Braves into the 6th inning

Chadwick Tromp (what a name for a catcher!) is leading the Braves' attack...3-0 Braves over Snell, could be the Dodgers' first loss of the season, but a long long way to go in this one.

 

Make that 5-0.  Braves blow a 5-0 lead (all the runs scored due to two Max Muncy throwing errors), Muncy ties the game at 5-5 and Ohtani walks it off.

Dodgers 8-0, Padres 7-0

The Comet is headed to the big leagues.

Infielder Hyeseong Kim, whose first name translates to "comet" in a Korean dialect, is being promoted to the Dodgers from Triple-A Oklahoma City to make his Major League debut, the club announced on Saturday.

In a corresponding move, infielder/outfielder Tommy Edman was placed on the injured list with right ankle inflammation, retroactive to April 30.

The Dodgers signed the 26-year-old Kim during the offseason after he spent eight seasons in the Korea Baseball Organization. Kim batted .304 or better in every season from 2021-24 and stole 20 bases in seven consecutive seasons

Dodgers plan to be in the mix for Chicago Cubs outfielder Kyle Tucker, who will become one of the premiere bats on the open market, reports Bob Nightengale of USA Today.

The Los Angeles Dodgers plan to jump into the free-agent fray for Cubs outfielder Kyle Tucker this winter. They may not be the high bidder, but they’ll surely keep everyone honest just as they did when they were in the Juan Soto sweepstakes.

They're also acknowledging Sasaki has shoulder impingement issues...joining Snell and Glasnow on the shelf.  FB way down, control has been a total mess.

Dodgers actually might have to rely on Kershaw and eventually Ohtani returns.

Or they'll just trade a couple of the plethora of prospects for Framber/L. Castillo, ect.  Their rotation already goes 10 deep.

Yeah, or Alcantara...or Chris Bassitt, or whoever.

There's always more pitching to acquire when you have a nearly unlimited budget.

"The Dodgers bullpen was supposed to be one of the best in baseball after they signed Tanner Scott, Blake Treinen and Kirby Yates to more than $100 million in contracts, with Michael Kopech, Brusdar Graterol and Evan Phillips still on the roster, but all of those relievers are on the IL right now save for Scott, who is having his own issues."
