  4. DBD DAILY: RP3's 3 Things To Watch In NLCS Game 3

    Game 3 of the NLCS is today in L.A. 5 p.m., very specifically, Pacific Time. Blake Snell on the bump. The Dodgers trail the Brewers 2-0 in this 7-game series. And that is concerning.

  5. DBD DAILY: Shohei Struggles + NLCS Game 2 Re-Cap

  6. DBD DAILY: Dodgers Drop Game 2 to Brew Crew

    Sit with Richard for the last two innings of the Dodgers 7-4 loss at the hands of the Brewers tonight in Game 2 of the NLCS.

  7. DBD DAILY: Dodgers Bats "Miz" Opportunities in Game 1, Milwaukee Takes CS Lead

    It was a tough loss for the Dodgers in Game 1 of the NLCS tonight (Sunday) in Milwaukee. Tarik Skubal and the Boys in Blue fell to Jacob Misiorowski and the Brewers, 2-1.

  8. REBROADCAST: "Mookie Is Spookied"

    On the Eve of Game 1 of the NLCS in Milwaukee, we bring you this episode from our archives, about the Pfister Hotel, where the Dodgers stay when they're in town to play the Brewers -- well, most of the Dodgers.

  9. “Brewers vs. Dodgers = Ali vs. Frazier” (2026 NLCS Preview)

    This year’s 2026 NLCS is a re-match of last year’s: Brewers vs. Dodgers. Last year, the Dodgers swept. But this year, it’s a different story.

  12. "Dodgers Drop NLDS Game 2 to Braves"

    Richard attended the Dodgers-Braves NLDS Game 2 in the sweltering L.A. heat on Sunday, only to see the Boys in Blue fall to the Atlanta team, 3-2. Snell faltered, Muncy rallied, but ultimately, it was a game of both good and bad -- but, probably mostly bad, because it was a loss. Richard recaps...

  13. “Triple-Digit Game 1 Win in Dodgers DS!”

    Recording live in his living room, Richard recaps Game 1 of the Dodgers vs. Braves NLDS, just after it ends in a 5-3 victory for the Boys in Blue in the 100-degree Los Angeles heat. He does so while keeping half-to-one-third of an eye on Yankees-Rays ALDS Game 1 (which at the time of this...
