Charitably, last year’s punt moves reduced their chances in the game at hand in order to increase the odds tomorrow. This killed their odds today AND reduced their odds of winning tomorrow by letting Duran off the hook. Just terrible.

The dodgers are carrying a ton of pitchers and had two of the last three days off, this situation isn’t remotely close to last year. Just ridiculously short-sighted.

We need more regulation and the knowledge to enforce it, but the people making and enforcing the regulations don’t understand the issue nor do they care to

This is correct, but I’m also frustrated with the broad desire to lump these devices in with all e-bikes, including the ones which ARE safe to exist in places that normal bikes can. (Which is why Cooper has scare quotes there, I’m just emphasizing).

I keep seeing "e-bikes" and "e-scooters" that don't require pedaling and that accelerate faster and go faster than car traffic and they are an absolute menace whose existence depends on regulators not giving a shit or not moving fast enough. We gotta do whatever we can to get them off the street.

My unpopular urbanist opinion is that big, hyperfast two-wheelers are a menace and should be banned from bike lanes/paths (with enforcement).

These things endanger everyone riding a bike or legal e-bike. Worse, they deter some from even trying.

This also isn’t a Morrow situation, he has a long career ahead of him after this year. He can’t be the only reliable guy.

If they move on I have some questions about how they’re going to handle back-to-backs given that they just almost lost a game due to not wanting him to pitch two games with an off day between

Roberts: Roki Sasaki Will Be “Primary Option” In Save Situations

Roki Sasaki will operate as the Dodgers’ “primary option” in save situations, manager Dave Roberts told reporters this evening (relayed by Jack Harris of The Los Angeles Times). Roberts hedged on calling the rookie righty his full-time closer, noting that they can’t ask Sasaki to pitch in every game. The Dodgers tried to avoid using…

The only reason Dodger Stadium isn’t a complete bandbox these days is because it heavily suppresses triples

Mike Petriello @mikepetriello.bsky.social · 1d

There were 89 *more* homers in Dodger home games than in Dodger road games this year. It's one of the highest non-Coors marks in the last half-century.

On how the NLDS shifts to baseball's friendliest homer park -- even if the reputation hasn't caught up.
