Dodgers Debate

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.

They had pitching injuries, now they have position player injuries. Dod the Dodgers have enough young players to make up for the loss of their veterans? Los Angeles Times beat writer Maddie Lee and columnists Bill Plaschke and Mirjam Swanson break down who is out, who is in and how great it is when Shohei Ohtani curses.

OK, well, the Dodgers are fine. If you overreacted, then you are the opposite of the media. Los Angeles Times beat writer Maddie Lee and columnists Bill Plaschke and Mirjam Swanson look at their previous week, the big wins and what the next roadtrip looks like.

The Los Angeles Dodgers aren’t really hitting. Starting pitching isn’t performing lights-out. It’s May, but is it over for the season? Are fans right to be panicking? IS THE SKY FALLING? Los Angeles Times beat writer Maddie Lee and columnists Bill Plaschke and Mirjam Swanson step back to see where the team is, where they were last year around this time and what steps they are taking to prevent fans from revolting.

Injuries happening, injuries healing. The Dodgers starting pitching situation is, like usual, complicated and messy.  Los Angeles Times beat writer Maddie Lee and columnists Bill Plaschke and Mirjam Swanson look at the injuries, who is coming back, who isn’t working out and which pitchers might be sent down to the minors when everyone is healthy.

It’s been a big few weeks for the Dodgers. Edwin Diaz went on the IL (and Bill Plaschke is vindicated.) And is Dalton Rushing a bully or MVP or both? Los Angeles Times beat writer Maddie Lee and columnists Bill Plaschke and Mirjam Swanson determine which one.

The Dodgers are the best team in baseball, but the pitching is looking a little shaky. Should Roki Sasaki go to the bullpen? Is Edwin Diaz in trouble? Los Angeles Times beat writer Maddie Lee and columnists Bill Plaschke and Mirjam Swanson break it all down.

The Dodgers are looking pretty good! But, it’s not necessarily against good teams. And Hello Kitty? WATCH BASEBALL. Los Angeles Times beat writer Maddie Lee and columnists Bill Plaschke and Mirjam Swanson talk about bobbleheads, bullpen and age concerns on the team.
