I’m watching Blake Snell, who began the , and later Tanner Scott, who pitched the eighth inning, and I’m pondering that perhaps I’ll see these pitchers in October. Jack Harris reported lately that Snell (who has made no less than 20 begins in each full season of his nine-year profession,) and Scott (who has racked up 275 appearances over the past 4 seasons) are sturdy pitchers.
Understanding the unhealthy luck the Dodgers have had with accidents lately, I wouldn’t guess on any Dodger pitcher nonetheless being accessible in October. It’s lucky that the Dodgers are very deep.

What with the Dodgers and their followers assured of a World Sequence repeat — and assuming the workforce is already taking a look at larger and flashier 2025 championship rings — I’ve a suggestion for MLB commissioner Rob Manfred. It’s easy and can hold baseball followers considerably because the Dodgers attempt to clinch a playoff spot earlier than Memorial Day.
So, if (and that’s an enormous IF) they really lose a couple of video games, along with crediting them with a loss, subtract a win from them within the standings and place it in a 3rd column known as both “Oops” or “My Dangerous!” It could possibly be each humorous and entertaining, and belief me subtracting a couple of wins isn’t going to have any impact on the ultimate consequence. However, it may save the baseball season from an absolute borefest. At the least till the 2026 season, when the Dodgers’ payroll is assured to extend once more to properly over $400 million!
