Dodger Blue Dream – Details, episodes & analysis

Ippei Mizuhara, Shohei Ohtani's former translator, was sentenced in federal court Thursday to almost 5 years in federal prison, and owes restitution of $18 million he stole to pay off his gambling debts with an illegal bookie. He may also face deportation to his native country of Japan. This special crossover for KCRW is a continuation of the gambling scandal sage covered in our episodes "The Talented Mr. Ippei" and "The Complaint Against Ippei."

Richard takes stock of how the Dodgers' off-season is looking so far, a couple weeks after the team's World Series victory. We focus on one player the Dodgers might gain (the young Japanese flame-thrower, Roki Sasaki) and one they might retain (the wide-smiling, big-slugging 2024 Dodgers All Star, Teoscar Hernandez) through free agency this winter.

The Dodgers are the champions of the National League in 2024! A short postcard from Richard after the Dodgers beat the Mets 10-5 in game 6 of the National League Championship Series on Sunday night at Dodger Stadium. The Boys in Blue will play the New York Yankees in the 2024 World Series, which starts Friday night, at 5:08 p.m. (very specifically Pacific time) at Dodger Stadium.

The Dodgers take on the Mets at Dodger Stadium today for game 6 of the NLCS. A win would send the Dodgers to a World Series against the Yankees. We preview the game, with a focus on the pitching matchup, and the bullpen game the Dodgers are throwing.

Recapping the Dodgers’ 12-6 blow-out loss in game 5 of the NLCS in New York on Friday. Critics have questioned Dodgers manager Dave Roberts' decision to leave starting pitcher Jack Flaherty in as long as he did. The NLCS continues with game 6 on Sunday in L.A. at 5:08 p.m. very specifically Pacific time.

Re-capping the Dodgers 10-2 win over the Mets in game 4 of the NLCS Thursday night at CitiField. The Dodgers are now one win away from the NL Pennant and a trip to the World Series.

Re-capping the Dodgers' 8-0 win over the New York Mets in game 3 of the NLCS at CitiField on Wednesday night, with a shutout start from Walker Buehler, and homeruns from Kike Hernandez, Shohei Ohtani, and Max Muncy. The best-of-7 NLCS series is now 2-1 in favor of the Dodgers. So the Boys in Blue are 2 wins away from a trip to the World Series.

The Dodgers lost game 2 of the NLCS to the Mets on Monday afternoon at Dodger Stadium, in a bullpen game that turned into a 7-3 snaking. We look for the silver lining (the shiny underbelly of the snake) and find it in Dodgers releiver Brent Honeywell, who pitched 3 scoreless innings Monday. The NLCS is now tied 1-1 as the Dodgers travel to New York to continue the series on Wednesday night.

Re-capping the Dodgers 9-0 victory over the New York Mets at Dodger Stadium Sunday night, with 7 shutout innings from hometown starting pitcher Jack Flaherty.
