Dodger Blue Dream

On the Eve of Game 1 of the NLCS in Milwaukee, we bring you this episode from our archives, about the Pfister Hotel, where the Dodgers stay when they're in town to play the Brewers -- well, most of the Dodgers. Mookie Betts, for one, decides to stay elsewhere. Because they say that the Pfister Hotel is... haunted! 

This episode was first aired in 2024, when Mookie was just rejoining the team after a couple months on the injure...

This year’s 2026 NLCS is a re-match of last year’s: Brewers vs. Dodgers. Last year, the Dodgers swept. But this year, it’s a different story. And it's being talked about as the “Ali-Frazier” matchup of October baseball this year.

First, Richard looks back on how the Dodgers were able to sweep the Brewers last year.

Then, Richard looks at the differences between the 2026 version of these ...

Richard attended the Dodgers-Braves NLDS Game 2 in the sweltering L.A. heat on Sunday, only to see the Boys in Blue fall to the Atlanta team, 3-2. Snell faltered, Muncy rallied, but ultimately, it was a game of both good and bad -- but, probably mostly bad, because it was a loss. Richard recaps highlights and low-lights, and dives deep on a terrific Max Muncy at bat in the 9th, that can tell you a lot about this game, and this seri...

Recording live in his living room, Richard recaps Game 1 of the Dodgers vs. Braves NLDS, just after it ends in a 5-3 victory for the Boys in Blue in the 100-degree Los Angeles heat. 

He does so while keeping half-to-one-third of an eye on Yankees-Rays ALDS Game 1 (which at the time of this recording, was in a no-hitter in the 8th inning) and a little bit of the Brewers-Padres NLDS Game 1, too. Hey even mentions the White Sox-G...

Sometimes, you gotta make an ep like this. Richard takes a deep dive on Dodger Stadium diced white onion dispenser technique. (Seriously.) Then, Richard catches you up on what’s been going on with the Boys in Blue since the last ep: the end of the team-wide slump, Josue DePaula's AAA callup experience, Shohei's return from injury, and more. Then: he takes a look at the (very very good) 2026 post-season pitching rotation, and ...

We’re getting down to the wire, folks. As the Dodgers suffer their third straight loss to the Atlanta Braves, who thereby completed a sweep against the Boys in Blue Thursday night, Richard breaks down the MLB playoff format, how it might impact the Dodgers, and digs in deep about this series against the Braves – and the concerns it raises for the Dodgers 2026 post-season run. This is an unusually "cup half empty" episod...

Kyle Tucker signed a record-high contract with the Dodgers this past off-season, worth $60M a season.

Tucker came to the Dodgers with Hall of Fame-caliber numbers.

But so far in 2026, he’s been mired in a season-long slump.

Things reach a low point this week, in a game where Tucker went 0-5 and dropped an easy fly ball in the outfield.

Richard looks back on Tucker’s signing, the expectations, and the way the season has ...

Is it the low point of the 2026 season? Richard checks in from a disappointing loss against the Brewers at Dodger Stadium this weekend, where it felt like it is.

Tommy John, the long-time Dodger, and namesake of the revolutionary, career-saving elbow surgery, has died at the age of 83. 

Maybe you know the name Tommy John, but you don't know much about him. In this episode, we take a look at John's long, excellent career, and t...

It’s the “dog days” indeed, and the Dodgers have hit the skids, riding a 6-game losing streak into the desert heat, in Arizona, where tonight, they kick off a 3-game series against the Diamondbacks.

But there are always silver linings.

Richard takes stock of the whole enchilada: recapping Tarik Skubal’s first start as a Dodger, summarizing the injuries affecting the franchise, presenting (without comment) a ...
