Two buses with Dodgers players and personnel head to the Pittsburgh airport from PNC Park after the game tonight. The Dodgers are off to Chicago where they will open a series with the White Sox tomorrow night.

Yes. this looks like garbage. It is in fact garbage. Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman collected his 2,500th career base hit tonight against the Pittsburgh Pirates at PNC Park.

After the game, the players celebrated the career achievement, this included a champagne toast. Pictured here is one of the garbage bins in the Dodgers clubhouse with empty champagne bottles.

As far as office views go, this one is elite. It will be tough to top this one.

I appreciate Miguel Rojas staring right into the camera lens while I was taking this picture of him in the Dodgers dugout while talking with Kirsten Watson for SportsNetLA's pregame show.

It's pretty much just me and the rest of the baseball writers left in the ballpark at this point. Pinch me.

Standing in the Los Angeles Dodgers dugout at Daikin Park waiting for manager Dave Roberts for his pregame media scrum. It's pretty surreal to be here.

Myoffice view for the weekend. A little light reading and a coffee while I await the arrival of fans, and the teams themselves. Never gets old.

Louisville Impresses in the 2023 Shriners Classic, A&M and Tech Go 16 Innings

This year's version of the Shriners Children’s College Classic in Houston featured four teams in the College Baseball Nation Top 25: Louisville, Texas Tech, TCU, and Texas A&M. They were joined by Michigan and Rice.

My recap from the Shriners College Classic in Houston this past weekend.
