Dodgers place Freddie Freeman on 10-day IL for his ailing ankle. He'll be eligible to return on April 10.

Dodgers go on a road trip to PHI and WAS til April 9, and start a 6-game homestand on April 11.

I suspect this IL stint is Dodgers' way of telling Freddie, "No, you're not playing on this road trip no matter how much you beg. Stay home and rest, PLEASE."

Seeing Orel on the field just before the game started tonight reminded me of an opening day many years ago. Vinny was on the field for some reason during the opening day activities. Anyhow the game started and I thought there was something wrong with the feed as there was no play-by-play. I think it was during the second batter Vinny came on and apologized that he didn't move as quickly as he used to and that it's a long way from the field to his microphone. #ITFDB #Dodgers #MLB

So happy baseball is back!

Sasaki is a Dodger now!! Woohoo!!!

Roki of the Year!!!

My Dodgers offseason take:

- Everybody expects Roki Sasaki to sign with Dodgers. And so do I. On top of being a championship team and home to both Ohtani and Yamamoto, Dodgers have the best player development program in the world, and a proven track record of bringing the best out of pitchers. Sasaki would be a fool to choose any other team.

HOWEVER,

(1/4)

My Dodgers offseason take:

- I firmly believe that Dodgers are going after Soto only to make Mets or Yankees pay him that much more.

Damn, on top of the sprained ankle we all knew about, Freddie Freeman was playing with a broken rib cartilage, which the article says is "an injury that typically sidelines players for months." Holy crap.

Truly a beast, that man.

Rewatching that top 5th.

"The Yankees crack the door open with a poor defense, and the Dodgers kick it down!"

I love Joe Davis's calls.

2 outs to go!!!

I think this is honestly the first time I'm seeing a balk-by-three-check-throws actually happening.

(check throws? what are they called? my mind is drawing a blank)

Roberts trusts Treinen to get out of this one.

"Damned if you do, damned if you don't" kind of a decision.

And Treinen answers that trust by getting Stanton out with a pop fly, and Rizzo with a swinging K!!!!

*fist pump*

Can Treinen get through Soto-Judge-Chisholm-Stanton unscathed???

6 outs to go for Dodgers!

Walker Buehler is now officially warming up in the bullpen!!

Dodger bats has one good inning (which needed a lot of help too), and goes silent again.

C'mon, step up, bats!!!

Gotta applaud Cole, even if he's pitching for the other side. That was some gutsy performance.

That 1B-line ballgirl (girl, I think?) has been rocking some serious glove this series.

Aaron Boone clearly does not trust his bullpen. Cole was at 98 pitches, and he's back out there??

Dodger bats need to capitalize on this. If they can't, they deserve the L.
