NLCS notes: Blake Snell, Shohei Ohtani’s status for Game 3
For the first time in five years, the Dodgers find themselves down two games to begin the National League Championship Series with the series headed back to Los Angeles. The Dodgers offense has shown little to no fight in the series, with Game 2’s back-and-forth clash being the most exhilarating matchup so far. Their duo […]
How to watch Dodgers vs. Brewers NLCS Game 3
LOS ANGELES — The Dodgers are back home, looking for their first win of the 2026 National League Championship Series, with Game 3 at Dodger Stadium on Wednesday night at Dodger Stadium. A slumping Shohei Ohtani insists he is healthy, and will start Game 3 at designated hitter. “No one knows what’s going to happen […]
Dodgers sticking with Shohei Ohtani, who’s ‘adamant’ he’s healthy enough to play
LOS ANGELES — Shohei Ohtani has done very little at the plate for his last 24 games, is dealing with injuries to his left knee and right biceps, and has looked lost at times at the plate during the postseason. Yet the Dodgers are still sticking by their injured super star, with Ohtani set to […]
Dodgers NLCS Game 3: Rick Monday first pitch, Keith Williams Jr. national anthem
LOS ANGELES — The Dodgers announced their pregame plans for the National League Championship Series games at Dodger Stadium, beginning with Rick Monday throwing out the ceremonial first pitch prior to Game 3 against the Milwaukee Brewers on Wednesday night.

Dodgers return home in daunting, but not impossible 2-0 hole
The National League Championship Series is back in Los Angeles, and the Dodgers offense has yet to fully show up. One year after sweeping the Milwaukee Brewers in this series, it’s the Brewers with the commanding lead now, trying for their first World Series appearance in 44 years. A two-game losing streak in the postseason […]
Dodgers in a standing eight-count
Bouncer up the middle. Betts to the bag – over to first! To beat the champ, you gotta knock ‘em out! The Dodgers stand tall and win back to back titles! -Joe Davis, Rogers Centre, November 2, 2025 So go the best-laid plans of mice and men, as the Dodgers flop in Game 2 of […]
Dodgers offense can’t take advantage of early gifts
There was no shortage of problems for the Dodgers in a Game 2 loss that has seen the reigning champs return home trailing 2-0 in the NLCS. We might focus on the no-challenge that derailed Yoshinobu Yamamoto’s struggles; we could discuss the bullpen’s shortcomings, having been asked to carry the load after Yamamoto didn’t get […]
Dodgers will start Blake Snell in NLCS Game 3, Tyler Glasnow in Game 4
Now that the National League Championship Series is back at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, the Dodgers will have Blake Snell starting on the mound in Game 3 on Wednesday night, followed by Tyler Glasnow in Game 4 on Thursday. This order could have been inferred after Tarik Skubal and Yoshinobu Yamamoto were tabbed to […]
Dodgers notes: Three-peat in serious danger
The Dodgers somehow scored four runs in Monday’s game against the Brewers but it wasn’t enough as the game devolved into a bullpen game and they lost 7-4, and now head home down 2-0 in the NLCS. Bill Shakin of the L.A. Times ponders if the Dodgers should start playing baseball the way the Brewers […]
Dodgers considering benching Shohei Ohtani, per report
Dodgers star Shohei Ohtani hasn’t done much at all since returning from the injured list in the final week of the regular season, and his presence in the middle of the batting order has been more symbolic than actually productive. Now, the team is considering sitting Ohtani as the National League Championship Series moves to […]
Dodgers need Brewers help to score, can’t stop William Contreras in NLCS Game 2 loss
Best laid plans went awry very early in Game 2 of the National League Championship Series, the sloppiest and wildest game of the Dodgers postseason to date. In a game with four lead changes and two ties, the Dodgers couldn’t get a big hit to save their life, while William Contreras had three different run-scoring […]
Dodgers at Brewers NLCS Game 2 chat
The last early start time of the year for the Dodgers, trying to even things up with the Brewers before heading home to Los Angeles. Milwaukee added three left-handed batters to their lineup for Monday, with Christian Yelich at designated hitter, Sal Frelick in right field, and David Hamilton at third base, in place of […]
Teoscar Hernández moves up in the order for Game 2
After a series facing plenty of left-handers against the Braves, the Dodgers offense will see a second right-handed starter in Milwaukee. Although the scoring output was disappointing in Game 1, Dave Roberts sticks with his approach of righty-lefty throughout the lineup, but there are a couple of changes. Tommy Edman, who was on the bench […]
Failure to launch
Once again, the Dodgers clash with the Milwaukee Brewers in the National League Championship Series. Both teams were rested with comparable levels of health, and the end result of Game 1 was a 2-1 decision. Except this year, we’re not discussing Blake Snell’s dominant Game 1 performance or how Blake Treinen miraculously didn’t blow the […]
Dodgers look to even NLCS
The Los Angeles Dodgers find themselves down 1-0 in the NLCS to the Milwaukee Brewers, unable to muster more than one run. As is so often the case, Monday afternoon they will send Yoshinobu Yamamoto to try to even the series. The Dodgers are 9-1 in his postseason starts and are undefeated in his six […]
Positives to take amidst a lack of power in Game 1
The promise of a low-scoring game was fulfilled in the NLCS opener, as the Brewers needed only a pair of runs to improve on last postseason’s outcome, having been swept by the Dodgers the last time out. There was plenty of frustration to go around for the Dodgers offensively—especially so considering how effective they were […]
Dodgers NLCS notes: Josue De Paula, Tarik Skubal, Brewers lefties
The Dodgers came up just short in Game 1 of the NLCS, falling 2-1 to the Brewers on Sunday night, leaving the tying run on base to end the game. Kyle Tucker was that runner in scoring position after a two-out walk off Milwaukee closer Trevor Megill. Josue De Paula followed with a walk off […]
How to watch Dodgers at Brewers NLCS Game 2
Repeating the score of last year’s Game 1 of the NLCS, this time around the Brewers got the better end of a 2-1 result. The home team survived a short Jacob Misiorowski outing with outstanding work from its bullpen, beating a Dodgers offense that could not get on the board after the second inning. The […]
In a battle of little things, Brewers did the big thing to beat Dodgers in NLCS Game 1
A pair of long inning cut short the promised battle of aces in Game 1 of the National League Championship, but the overall adage that runs would be hard to come by still proved true. Both teams scratched across a single run in their big innings, but the Brewers added a solo home run which […]
