Dodgers Notes: James Outman Update, Shohei’s History, Outfield Trade Deadline Option
The Dodgers picked up a big win over the Colorado Rockies last night and now head into the rubber match on Sunday. Starter Yoshinobu Yamamoto shined, going six innings of work, and allowing just one run to the Rockies. Los Angeles will look to take the series with the first pitch scheduled for 1:10 p.m. PT.
Here’s all the latest Dodgers headlines:
Ohtani Joins Ichiro in Exclusive MLB Club
In a remarkable display of skill and speed, Los Angeles Dodgers’ Shohei Ohtani has secured his 100th career stolen base, joining Ichiro Suzuki as the only Japanese-born player to achieve both 100 home runs and 100 stolen bases in MLB.
Buehler Reflects on His Performance
Walker Buehler, after a challenging start against the Rockies, has openly taken responsibility for setting a deflating tone upon returning from a successful road trip. Despite escaping a loaded bases situation, Buehler criticizes his performance, acknowledging the need for improvement as he continues his comeback from Tommy John surgery.
Dodgers Considering Addition of Veteran Outfielder
With the trade deadline approaching and the outfield not performing up to expectations, the Dodgers are reportedly eyeing veteran outfielder Tommy Pham to boost their lineup. This potential move reflects proactive strategies by the team’s management to address current weaknesses and prepare for crucial late-season games.
James Outman Looking Much Better
Since being sent down to the minor leagues, Dodgers outfielder James Outman has looked much better. He struggled for most of the season, leading to Los Angeles demoting him. But he is working his way back up.
Evan Phillips’ Biggest Supporter
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts is happy to have relief pitcher Evan Phillips back on the roster. He had been on the injured list for some time but is now back ready to help the team win some games.
Dodgers Were Stuck On Tarmac For Hours Coming Home From Road Trip
The Dodgers were stuck on a tarmac for hours while coming home from their long road trip. It may have caused some issues in the loss on Friday night to Colorado.

1. IF THE DODGERS ARE SMART, THET’LL TRADE LUX, TAYLOR, PROSPECTS, IN A PACKAGE WITH WASHINGTON, AND GET A YOUNG, 5 TOOL PLAYER, LANE TJHOMAS.
2. BOBBY MILLER THROWS HARD, BUT HAS MEDIOCRE COMMAND BC HIS MECHANICS RE HIS FOLLOW THROUGH TAKE HIM TO THE 1ST BASE SIDE. MAJOR LEAGUERS CAN HIT 100 MPH FAST BALLS BUT COMMAND OF YOUR PITCHES MAKES YOU SUCCESSFUL.
3. ANDY PAGES ‘LEG KICK’ NEEDS TO GO! GREAT HITTERS “STAY BACK” WITH WEIGHT ON THEIR BACK LEG, & MOVE THEIR BODY PARTS AS THE PITCHER RELEASES THE BALL, ALLOWING THEM TO PICK UP SPIN & SPEED.. PAGES MOVES TO QUICKLY BC OF HIS LEG KICK, AND, AS WE’VE SEEN, HE’S “OUT FRONT” & CAN’T CATCH UP TO HIGH HEAT!
P.S. WHO WAS/WERE THE GENIUS/ES THAT ALLOWED COREY SEAGER TO LEAVE LA.? WHY?? CAN YOU IMAGINE THE DODGERS WITH A REALLY GREAT SHORTSTOP? WE ALSO BELIEVE MOOKIE’S HITTING IS SUFFERING & LA IS PAYING HIM $35 MIL A YEAR TO HIT, NOT TO PLAY SHORTSTOP.
1. IF THE DODGERS ARE SMART, THEY’LL TRADE LUX, TAYLOR, PROSPECTS, IN A PACKAGE WITH WASHINGTON, AND GET A YOUNG, 5 TOOL PLAYER, LANE THOMAS.
2. BOBBY MILLER THROWS HARD, BUT HAS MEDIOCRE COMMAND BECAUSE HIS MECHANICS RE HIS FOLLOW THROUGH ARE POOR. HE FALLS OFF TO THE 1ST BASE SIDE, WHICH MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO HIT YOUR SPOTS IN THE STRIKE ZONE. MAJOR LEAGUERS CAN HIT 100 MPH FAST BALLS, BUT COMMAND OF YOUR PITCHES IS WHAT MAKES YOU SUCCESSFUL, SOMETHING MILLER MUST CORRECT!
3. ANDY PAGES ‘LEG KICK’ NEEDS TO GO! GREAT HITTERS “STAY BACK” WITH WEIGHT ON THEIR BACK ANCHOR LEG, & MOVE THEIR BODY PARTS AS THE PITCHER RELEASES THE BALL FROM HIS HAND, PICKING UP THE SPIN & SPEED OF THE BALL. BECAUSE OF HIS LEG KICK, PAGES MOVES TOO QUICKLY, AND, AS A RESULT, HE’S “OUT FRONT,” & CAN’T CATCH UP TO HIGH HEAT. IT HAPPENED IN YESTERDAY’S ROCKIES GAME WITH THE BASES LOADED, & HIGH HEAT STRUCK HIM OUT.
PAGES DOES HIT LOW AND OFF SPEED PITCHES WELL, BUT THE BOOK ON HIM NOW IS A REGULAR DIET OF HIGH AND HARD TO GET HIM OUT. AGAIN, LOSE THE LEG KICK, STAY BACK, WATCH THE SPIN & SPEED, ADJUST, AND EXPLODE ON THE PITCH!
P.S. WHO WAS/WERE THE GENIUS/ES THAT ALLOWED COREY SEAGER TO LEAVE LA.? WHY?? CAN YOU IMAGINE THE DODGERS WITH A REALLY GREAT, NATURAL SHORTSTOP? WE ALSO BELIEVE MOOKIE’S HITTING IS SUFFERING & LA IS PAYING HIM $35 MIL A YEAR TO HIT, NOT TO PLAY SHORTSTOP.
