The Los Angeles Dodgers appeared to finally be gathering some momentum with their fourth straight win. Then they lost the reigning World Series MVP. Shortstop Corey Seager exited Saturday’s game against the Miami Marlins after taking a 90 mph sinker off the hand against Ross Detwiler. The Dodgers announced after the game that X-rays had revealed a hand fracture. Here’s the pitch that did it. It didn’t look good. The team at least won Saturday’s game 7-0 to move within a game of the San… Source link

Albert Pujols has found a new home, and he didn’t have to go far.  Pujols is reportedly in agreement with the Los Angeles Dodgers on a contract for the rest of the MLB season. According to Jorge Castillo of the Los Angeles Times, Pujols will be playing for the Dodgers and not one of their minor league affiliates.  Pujols, 41, spent the last nine seasons with the Los Angeles Angels, and had played about five weeks of his 10th season before he was abruptly released on May 6. The reasons for… Source link

Among the many — and perhaps least important — “unprecedenteds” that can be deployed in a facile attempt to explain the previous 12 months is an unprecedented lack of access at sporting events. I like to think we’re getting by — fans and reporters, both — through a healthy dose of innovation, perspective, and an unhealthy dose of time spent staring at various screens. But for an in-depth look at each team ahead of the 2021 season, I wanted to talk to someone who’s allowed… Source link

Becoming more than $100 million richer appears to have done very little to change Trevor Bauer. The new Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher made his second spring training start on Saturday against the division rival San Diego Padres, throwing three scoreless innings with three strikeouts. It was a somewhat uneventful start, except for the fact that Bauer could be seen doing … something with his left eye. At first, it looked like he had caught something in his eye or was having some kind of… Source link

Tommy Lasorda was parked in the middle of the Dodgers home clubhouse one afternoon, his head tilted over as if exhausted, his eyes cloudy. Players, coaches, clubbies and media slid past his scooter, this way and that, some dragging a hand over a narrow, hunched shoulder, some greeting him, “Tommy!”, as they passed. He was a dry stone in a shallow, hard-running creek. His eyes and a small smile said hello back. That was about all he had to give that day. And still he was there, among them,… Source link

Former Los Angeles Dodgers manager Tommy Lasorda is in the intensive care unit of an Orange County hospital. The Dodgers announced the news Sunday morning. “Lasorda, 93, was admitted and he is in intensive care, resting comfortably,” a Dodgers statement reads. “The family appreciates everyone’s thoughts and prayers; however, they request their privacy at this time.” He’s been in the hospital since last week, according to the Los Angeles Times. Tommy Lasroda, 93, has remained close to… Source link

Nine members of the Los Angeles Dodgers organization and one family member have tested positive for the coronavirus, county health officials said. The announcement comes barely more than a week after the team won the World Series. The number of Dodgers organization cases was initially five, according to a Los Angeles County Department of Public Health post on Thursday that was updated Friday. But a health department spokesperson said Saturday that there were four additional positive tests. The… Source link

You’d think baseball, of all sports, would know the dangers of celebrating before the final out is in the books. You’d think the Dodgers, just three days removed from one of the most wrenching last-second defeats in World Series history, would realize that a game’s not over just because you want it to be.  And yet baseball might have just managed to blow a 10-run, two-out, two-strike, bottom-of-the-ninth lead on COVID-19, all because Justin Turner had to get his picture with the World… Source link

Follow Kenley Jansen, on his knees in the dirt and then backpedaling from the mound to the third-base line. Follow him, a man fighting for assurance in a game that won’t wait for him to be what he was. That can’t. And now he’s standing in the chaos that comes from good pitches, bad pitches, good and bad luck, broken bats and severed faith, on a team that for a few dreadful seconds Saturday night looked like it was trying to win three World Series instead of just one. Follow Jansen, the… Source link
