He was the top pitcher on the team with the best regular-season record. So why has there been so little written about him? @jorgecastillo traveled to his hometown to find out how he became who he is. latimes.com/sports/dodgers…
Julio Urías rose to prominence as a teenage phenom from Culiacán, making his major league debut at 19. An eye problem, one he’s dealt with since birth, only fueled the attention. He was the boy with the bad left eye and the great left arm. latimes.com/sports/dodgers… 
As winter sets in, the @Dodgers are reluctantly trying to determine why their well-oiled organizational machine once again sprung a postseason leak. latimes.com/sports/dodgers…
The #Dodgers locked up the NL West with 21 games to go.
They became the seventh team in MLB history to eclipse 110 wins and the first since the 2001 Seattle Mariners to score the most and yield the fewest runs in the same season. latimes.com/sports/dodgers…

They did it with a familiar blueprint — pairing an explosive lineup with a crafty pitching staff, and a star-studded core with waves of depth that Andrew Friedman and his staff had so meticulously assembled over the years. latimes.com/sports/dodgers…
Dodgers president Andrew Friedman said Tuesday the team is working through roster decisions, including whether to bring back third baseman Justin Turner and outfielder Cody Bellinger.

“Dave and his coaching staff did an incredible job during the regular season to lead this team to 111 wins. And I don’t feel like it’s a switch that was then turned off, or the players needed a different voice in those games.” latimes.com/sports/dodgers…
Will they try to re-sign shortstop Trea Turner, who is expected to be one of the most coveted (and expensive) free agents on the market? Will they bring back free-agent pitchers such as Tyler Anderson, Andrew Heaney and Tommy Kahnle? latimes.com/sports/dodgers…

The #Dodgers dropped Game 2 in a sloppy 5-3 defeat, erring on the mound, at the plate, in the field and on the bases to let the #Padres turn this #NLDS into a brand-new series.

In the sixth inning of Game 2, the score was tied, the roar was deafening, the showdown was set, something had to give.
It was the Dodgers. They gave, and gave, and gave.

First, there was October magic.
Trea Turner, the second Dodgers hitter, walloped a fastball from Mike Clevinger and drove it into a left-field pavilion that was still filling up with stunned fans.

The Dodgers grabbed a 5-0 lead but their bats disappeared. Julio Urías threw four good innings but his curveball collapsed. The Dodgers needed a dozen outs from an anonymously brilliant bullpen.

Aa little story about that topic. On Sunday at Oracle, I freelanced the gamer for AP. AP runs nuts-and-bolts stories and you usually mention the winning and losing pitcher. Since the #dodgers starter didn't go five innings, it appeared (when the score was 2-1 LA) that Caleb ...
.... Ferguson would be the winner if the score held because he was the pitcher of record when LA went ahead. I did what writers have done in press boxes since before I was born. I walked up to the scorer and said, "Ferguson would be the winner, right?" The scorer responded, ....
...."I can't tell you." "I'm sorry," I said. "You can't tell me?" Yes, the scorer explained, because due to gambling on baseball the scorer is not allowed to let anybody know a wager-able fact like that in advance because bettors could take advantage of the information. ...

Remembering legendary Dodgers announcer Vin Scully, who died Tuesday at age 94. latimes.com/obituaries/sto…
He was more than a sports announcer; he became the most trusted public figure in this city’s history. He was not only the greatest Dodger broadcaster, he was the greatest Los Angeles Dodger, period.

Vin Scully, the voice of the Dodgers for more than six decades, whose folksy manner and melodic language made him a beloved figure in American culture, has died. He was 94.
In an interview in 2016, his final season, Scully described his approach to the job simply: “I guess it’s kind of a running commentary with an imaginary friend.” latimes.com/obituaries/sto…

1/Tonight, for the 17th time in the last 50 years, the #StanleyCup champion returns to defend their crown. This time, the #TBLightning are going for that rare feat - a three-peat and #dynasty status.
2/Three-peats and dynasties themselves are relatively rare. Below is a tour of the dynasties from the last 50 years starting with the 1974 Oakland #Athletics completing a three-peat with a 4-1 win over the #Dodgers with this home run.
3/ In 1979, the #CanadiensMTL completed their second four-peat, winning 4-1 over the New York Rangers. #StanleyCup #Dynasty
After getting off to a 4-6 start in June, #Dodgers manager Dave Roberts hasn't been too happy with his team, particularly the position player side. (More)
#Dodgers Roberts before the game: "People get caught up in their own individual paths, but the whole focusing on just winning a game and doing whatever it takes to win that day, we have to get back to that mindset.”
When asked if guys are focusing too much on their own individual at-bats, #Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said: “I don’t know that answer, but I need to find that out because it’s getting more clear that we’re not doing enough to win baseball games. We’re too talented."
“Mentally, there were blocks that I had to fight through.”

Lux has been one of the Dodgers’ more productive players this season.
