Think I read this will be Walker Beuhler's last rehab start he'll be back with the club next week.

Crossing my fingers Buehler can return to form. That would give us a very solid 4 starters with him, Yamamoto, Glasnow and Paxton. Would be nice to have several aces for the post season. And next year Ohtani will be ready. Would be nice to see a couple championships over the next few years.

And maybe Miller and Kershaw can come back after the All Star Break

Do y'all want Arenado? Just asking out of curiosity.

Dodgers are in the middle of what I think is going to be a face-melting hot run.

Bringing Pages up was the thing they needed to click it up a notch.. and it's incredible to watch.

Starting pitching is better than hoped, imo... both Gavin Stone and Landon Knack providing young, quality starting depth that this team desperately needed.. and we get to see how good the new version of Buehler is on Monday.

Get a couple of more bullpen arms... and... you still may want to keep an eye out for a full-time shortstop. I'm more worried about wear and tear on Mookie than anything else.. he can play the position, for sure.

Watching this team right now.. wow.

Spoken like a true Yankee fan. And you're talking about a guy with a 356 batting average that is now playing SS to help his team after winning 6 Golden Gloves in the outfield, 6 Silver Slugger awards, an MVP, and perennial MVP candidate. Do I have this right?

What's your Judge got? A 220 BA? Ouch! ZERO Golden Gloves? Ouch! Talk about someone whose PEDs have worn off.

my point was Betts was hitting HRs like crazy in the 1st month of the season, think he had 6... how many had he had since?

I was just messing with you but I'm sure Mookie is fine. He may be adjusting from going from 2B to SS. But I think it'll sort itself out. I'll still take him every day and twice on Sundays over Judge. And that's no disrespect to Judge. Just that Betts is a superior all around player.

I’m just stopping to clarify that while I am a die hard Yankees fan, I appreciate the Dodgers

how did switching field positions affect his lack of HRs?

SS is such an intense position that IIRR you don't see many of them being big time HR hitters.

There have been 6 SSs in history to hit 200 HRs. 17 outfielders have hit over 400. 17 2nd basemen have hit over 200.

Mookie has played almost his entire career as an outfielder.

I was shocked when they let Yamamoto take the mound in the 8th.
Even with a sizable lead, it’s not a Dodger move.
