Random rantings and ravings about the Los Angeles Dodgers, written by a small consortium of rabid Dodger fans. With occasional comments on baseball, entertainment, pop culture, and life in general.
Across the majors, they will be commeomorating the 75th anniversary of Jackie Robinson's MLB debut. All players will wear a Dodger Blue #42 on their backs, as well as a #42 sleeve patch. Rachel Robinson will be on hand for tonight's Dodger game, and manager Dave Roberts will host a ceremony with the full Dodgers team at Jackie Robinson's statue.

HAPPY JACKIE ROBINSON DAY!!!!!
Rachel looks wonderful. She is turning 100 this year.
I really hate these stupid streams.
Hey I can watch this game on apple tv+!
For freeeeeeeeeeee
Okay we're top 1, Jake Fraley with a leadoff walk, and then steals second (Dodgers challenge, but lose). Catman gets Naquin to K. He's now facing Tommy Pham with a 1-1 count.
Apple tv says Pham's RBI probability here is 28.4%
Nope, he grounds to short, so Fraley holds at second. Two out.
Wham bam, thank you Pham
Votto grounds to Lux for the third out.
0-0 through 0.5
Mookie is getting squeezed here
Full count to Betts
Pop fly to center.
I like how they have 42 in the centerfield grass. Wow.
Hey Sax!!
hey karen!
As somewhat of a museum I approve Apple tv showing the artist of the batter walk up songs on the screen
I love the 42 in Dodger Blue on every uni.
Musician^
Dodgers go 1-2-3 in the first.
Drury GIDP! But Reds challenging
That was close at first
...the call, that is
Reds win the challenge. BOOOOOOO
Good catch by Slappy against the net.
Dave Winfield. Hell yeah
VERY surprised Ebel sent JT to home there, he was out by a mile
But I'll take the run. CT3 single with two RISP at least scores Max.
1-0 LA through 2
Catman in trouble here in the third, bases loaded, he's at 58 pitches already. 0-2 count to Aquino
Got him!
Still, lots of pitches for Tony G.
1-0 LA through 2.5
I find myself holding my breath a lot when Catman is on the mound.
TT triples in Lux...2-0 Boys
2-0 through 3 thanks to the Trea RBI triple (scoring Freeman).
Found the game thread! Was commenting in the other thread. Oops!
Every time they show the booth I think of Cards Against Humanity.
Lux is having a great start to the season.
Bases juiced for TT. Bell coming out with a hook.
Still 2-0 LA, but with the Lux leadoff triple; the Betts HBP (and then he stole second), and Freeman walk --> Gutierrez is chased.
In comes Jeff Hoffman, no out, B5, and RANCHO ARDIENDO
@Quad: sorry about the GT mixup. I totally Scooby-Doo'd it
I'm just having so much fun so far posting on the Dodgers!
Trea Ks on three straight pitches. Yikes.
Here's Max
My apple tv feed is behind mlb gameday
Hoffman gest Max to fly to shallow left. Bases stay loaded. Come on, guys.
@Sax It was my bad. I didn’t read the title. Glad I found the right spot now though.
Bases loaded no out, and all we can get out of that is a JT walk-RBI?
WEAK
3-0 LA through 5.
@Quad: I'm a wreck here.
Series Threads make a ton of sense, but I'm having so much fun posting content that the Threads are getting buried. Sorry about this.
Tomorrow will be a new thread.
Anderson hits Votto in the head. Yikes. Hope Joey is OK.
Votto hit with a change up. Totally not a purpose pitch.
Aquino forces Votto at second. Drury pops to second for out #2.
Reds score a run off a hit parade. Anderson has lost composure. Two on, two out.
Garcia K ends the inning.
3-1 LA, mid-6
Cody Ks for the second time in 3 ABs tonight. I was hoping he was getting back on track but man.
3-1 LA through six. Our bats look sleepy again
@Sax...I'm with you on Cody. Every time I think he's breaking out of it he has a night like tonight.
Nice play by Trea to end the eighth
Going to the ninth. 3-1 good guys.
Here's Knebel's Dodgers home debut
Moustakas was 3-0 and then worked back to a full count, then popped to Freeman for out #1
Trea Turner's throw was off the mark, but Freeman reaches down to get him with a sweep tag...maybe?
They're reviewing the call
Call stands. Two out
Tough hop by JT but they get Colin Moran at first for the third out.
WIN
WIN BABY!!!
Nice
I actually liked the apple tv coverage. Let's go!
Four in a row! Yes!
New Game Thread for this weekend’s games. 😜
