“This guy is doing things no one can believe, and for all we know, he could end up at 60-60. It's must-watch baseball at this point.” Former #Dodgers slugger Shawn Green is happy his HR record fell to "the greatest player who's ever lived," Shohei Ohtani. bit.ly/4gtQalx

From Chuck Schilken: Shohei Ohtani's 50th home run ball could be worth $500,000. It slipped through these fans' hands latimes.com/sports/story/2…

Although the amenities may not have been like other ball parks around the league I did always enjoy interacting w the passionate fans of the Oakland coliseum.. honored to have pitched on that mound through 12 seasons. RIP Oakland coliseum it was a pleasure!

“I’ve had some rough patches where I’ve really questioned if I have the stuff to compete." The start-to-start consistency long stretches of dominance that made Walker Buehler the #Dodgers ace from 2019-2021 continued to elude RHP in 6-3 loss to #Rockies. bit.ly/4e6THEG

“This was on me, and I’ve owned it. We all do stupid things, and I hate the idea that I did this to myself, but as long as we learn from them we can move on.”  Mike DiGiovanna talked to a remorseful Anthony Banda about what happened with his broken hand latimes.com/sports/dodgers…
