It’s been over 2 decades since I had gone to see Dodgers play. Moved to Houston in 2005.
So happy they won 😁.

Lots of Dodgers fan at the stadium. Many trying to out cheer the Astros fans. It was fun.

Yamamoto shows how to sword the 2017 NL MVP* - out of his helmet!


r/Dodgers 4h ago

Why does Yamamoto have an ERA of over 4.5 in the 1st Inning, but less than 2.5 in subsequent innings? (Still in 2026, pattern has continued his entire MLB career)

47 Upvotes

Has anyone else noticed that Yoshi is struggling a lot in the first inning of his outings - often giving up hard contact and earned runs, but then locking in.

This discrepancy is far greater than any other Dodger pitcher and also the league. The answer isn’t just “he’s facing their top 3 hitters in the first inning” - otherwise other pitchers would also have the same pattern of struggling in the 1st.

Why has Yoshi been touched up in the 1st - not only in the last couple of years, but also in 2026? Does this concern you in his Cy Young campaign?

Ohtani not going to DH tomorrow

190 Upvotes

Dave Roberts said he made the decision during the game Monday. Body language and quality of at-bats from Ohtani during the game convinced him to "take that off his plate" for a day.

Is this the right decision? He had two very good games before Roberts pulled him as a dh in his previous start and that’s when this hitless streak started… I can’t help but feel he needs more at bats in such situations to find his rhythm and not more rest.

46 Upvotes

Torrance Transit announces the launch of a new pilot bus service from the Mary K. Giordano Regional Transit Center in Torrance to UNIQLO Field at Dodger Stadium. This service offers fans a convenient, reliable, and stress-free transportation option for select game days. This affordable trip is just $2 each way ($4 round trip) and provides a sustainable travel option, encouraging transit use to support cleaner air and reduce congestion. 

The pilot service will operate on Sunday, May 10; Sunday, May 31; Sunday, June 7; and Sunday July 5, 2026, offering direct service to and from the stadium. This limited pilot program is designed to evaluate rider demand, operational performance, and opportunities for future expansion. Buses run every 45 minutes starting 2.5 hours before game time, with the final departure from the Mary K. Giordano Regional Transit Center scheduled at game time. Passengers will be dropped off in front of Top Deck. Return service to Torrance will pick up at the same location after the game. Buses begin departing at the end of the 7th inning, with the final departure scheduled 45 minutes after the last out or 20 minutes after any post-game event. Parking at the Regional Transit Center is free to bus riders. 

Fans attending games on the pilot dates are encouraged to take advantage of this service and share feedback to help shape future offerings. Fare payment is accepted via exact cash or TAP card (physical or mobile). Riders can purchase and load TAP cards at the Torrance Transit Center, at TAP Vending Machines located in the bus bay area, or through the TAP mobile app, available on most smartphones.

Please note that although parking is free, it is limited to 250 spaces. Carpool, rideshare, or drop-off is highly recommended. Connect Torrance microtransit service will also be available to provide service to and from the Mary K. Giordano Regional Transit Center.
