Dodger Blue Dream

During the Dodgers 4-3 win over the Minnesota Twins on Wednesday, Dodgers backup catcher, rookie Dalton Rushing, had what must have been one of the worst games of his life, including going 0-4, with three strikeouts, and having some significant miscommunications with his battery-mate, starting pitcher (and global superstar) Shohei Ohtani, who is vying to win a Cy Young Award this year. The game has become the talk of the baseball world. Richard breaks it down for you.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A rebroadcast of our episode from just after the Dodgers' 2024 World Series victory over the Yankees. +++ Job's finished! The 2024 Los Angeles Dodgers are World Champions. The Dodgers beat the Yankees in a decisive game 5 on Wednesday night in the Bronx, taking the series 4-1. The following day, Richard goes out to breakfast with his friend, chef Wes Avila, to celebrate. And the day after that, Richard attends the first World Series victory parade in the streets of Los Angeles since 1988, on what would have been Dodger legend Fernando Valenzuela's 64th birthday. On this episode, we invite you to bask in the afterglow of an amazing game 5 (and particularly that epic, momentum-shifting top of the 5th) and an unforgettable World Series victory for the Dodgers, with Richard and Wes. What a season. What an ending. Thanks for listening.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On today's episode we talk to two-time World Series Champion, Dodgers left-handed relief pitcher Justin Wrobleski! "Wrobo" played a pivotal role in the 2025 World Series, pitching four scoreless innings, including the iconic Game 7 moment when Wrobleski hit Andrés Giménez with a pitch, stoking a benches-clearing melee. Like the bullpen DAWG he is, Wrobleski stood his ground. When he did, he won Richard's heart, and the hearts of Dodgers fans everywhere.  On a team stacked with superstars, we don't hear as much from the younger, lesser known guys. But those guys are just as essential to this golden era of Dodger baseball as Shohei, Freddie, and Mookie. On this special interview episode of DBD, we are proud to present Wrobo's story of resilience, and pull back the curtain on a true bullpen DAWG.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
