Kessler made a big impact on both ends of the floor. This is a completely different team with him playing. I honestly still can’t believe we got him.

What did everyone think of his preseason debut?

Not going to say where, or what time, or under what circumstances, because I don't want to blow up his spot (it was in public, I'm not a weirdo or anything.) I didn't say anything to him, because he must get that all the time and I didn't want him to feel like I was asking him for something. But I can't deny I had that initial moment of "oh, holy SHIT, it's Freddie Freeman" and I wanted to say something to him.

But what occurred in that moment wasn't about the LCS, or the world series, or even this year at all. What I really wanted to say to him, before I quickly decided to leave him alone to enjoy his break from all of it, was thank you. Thanks for 2024 and the most exciting moment I've had as a Dodger fan since I was a little kid, way past my bedtime, listening to game 1 of the 1988 world series on the radio. Thanks for walking off that 18-inning prizefight (again well past my bedtime), last October. Thanks for the Freddie dance, and the whole stadium cheering "Freddie" all at once, and the clutch picks at first. Thanks for the worm.

Whatever happens tomorrow, and in this series, and in the rest of this year, and next year, all of it is going to be fun, and heartbreaking, and ecstatic, and frustrating, probably all in equal measure. But we are the luckiest group of fans in the history of this century-old franchise. Lots of us got to experience the greatest announcer the game ever has or ever will know. And all of us have gotten to watch the greatest group of players that's ever worn the uniform.

So thanks to Freddie, and Mookie, and Max, and Shohei, and Yama, and Snellzilla, and Kikè, and Andy, and Teo, and Alex, and everyone else. And thanks to all of you here in this little corner of the internet for making every win and every loss a community affair. Whatever happens next, we'll all watch it together.

Let's go Freddie. Let's go Dodgers.

Herbert is one of the most pressured and sacked QB’s in the league.

Here is some evidence:

“• 2026 Season Pressures: Through the first five games of the 2026 season, Herbert has faced 100 pressures (most in the NFL) and been under pressure on roughly 40.8% of his dropbacks, while taking 17 sacks. • Long-Term Totals (Since 2020): Since entering the NFL in 2020, no quarterback has endured more total pressures (1,412), hits (644), or sacks (237+) than Herbert. He is the only quarterback in that span to be hit more than 600 times, sitting well ahead of second-place Patrick Mahomes. • Per-Game Frequency: He has taken three or more sacks in over 42% of his career starts, operating frequently behind heavily pressured or injury-ravaged offensive lines.”

So many years under pressure has obviously affected his ability to take his time when he’s no longer under pressure and should be looking for his 2nd or 3rd read. However, this guy puts his ass on the line for this team and doesn’t quit. New coaches constantly, different schemes, loss of WR’s who can actually catch a damn ball. I’m sure he’s very cognizant of his mistakes, but Justin has worked damn hard for this team.

Every year people whine about how we should fire x or y or z, how the team should be sold, etc. There are much more valid criticisms of this franchise, but ultimately we are all here because for whatever reason we are bound to this team. You don’t have to buy tickets or merch if you don’t want to, but at least show some support instead of being so damn negative all the time.

Entry is free … does that mean u can watch the Dodgers then watch LAFC game in the stadium for free?

Maybe he feels a certain responsibility to stay in even if they are losing. Maybe he doesn’t want the loss (if we lose this series) to be focused on the rest of the guys, but on him instead.

🤷🏻‍♂️ ride or die, let’s take this game 3!

Some other notes:

• In wake of Alaric Jackson's suspension, Sean McVay says David Quessenberry will start at LT for Rams. Alaric will also likely appeal his suspension.
• Team will also open OL Keagen Trost's 21-day practice window this week.
• Myles Garrett's clock will not start this week, as Sean said was likely to be the case last week.
• Sean confirms the Rams made a change at kicker, moving on from Harrison Mevis and signing Blake Grupe. "Ultimately we need to get better production" and hopeful they can get that from Grupe.

The team also worked out QBs Jake Browning and Kyle Trask.
