October 06 "Dodgers Drop NLDS Game 2 to Braves"
Richard attended the Dodgers-Braves NLDS Game 2 in the sweltering L.A. heat on Sunday, only to see the Boys in Blue fall to the Atlanta team, 3-2. Snell faltered, Muncy rallied, but ultimately, it was a game of both good and bad -- but, probably mostly bad, because it was a loss. Richard recaps highlights and low-lights, and dives deep on a terrific Max Muncy at bat in the 9th, that can tell you a lot about this game, and this series. Then, Richard looks forward, as the 1-1 series heads to Atlanta, with two aces on the mound for Game 3. Hooooooo doogie! October is here!

October 04 “Triple-Digit Game 1 Win in Dodgers DS!”
Recording live in his living room, Richard recaps Game 1 of the Dodgers vs. Braves NLDS, just after it ends in a 5-3 victory for the Boys in Blue in the 100-degree Los Angeles heat.

He does so while keeping half-to-one-third of an eye on Yankees-Rays ALDS Game 1 (which at the time of this recording, was in a no-hitter in the 8th inning) and a little bit of the Brewers-Padres NLDS Game 1, too. Hey even mentions the White Sox-Guardians ALDS Game 1!

So that's everything you need to know about the Dodgers to get you ready for Game 2 of the DS tomorrow in L.A., PLUS everything you need to know about the rest of the post-season, as of Saturday, Oct. 3, 2026, at 6:57 p.m. very specifically Pacific Time.

“Triple-Digit Game 1 Win in Dodgers DS!” WOW.

Sometimes, you gotta make an ep like this. Richard takes a deep dive on Dodger Stadium diced white onion dispenser technique. (Seriously.) Then, Richard catches you up on what’s been going on with the Boys in Blue since the last ep: the end of the team-wide slump, Josue DePaula's AAA callup experience, Shohei's return from injury, and more. Then: he takes a look at the (very very good) 2026 post-season pitching rotation, and compares it to others over the past 5 years. Plus: a 5-star listener review from Apple Podcasts, read aloud, and elaborated upon. Solid ep. Go Dodgers!

About Dodger Blue Dream

From the publisher's feed

Named a "Best New Podcast" in 2024 by Audible and Vulture. "This is no simple sports-recap podcast. Instead, each episode plays a bit like a dispatch from a foreign land — in this case Dodgers fandom — in which a local correspondent (that would be Parks) walks you through present concerns." (Vulture) Noted for its storytelling, sound design, and original music. A love letter to baseball and radio by a born-and-raised Angeleno.
