BREAKING: The Dodgers held an emergency team meeting at the All-Star break to address ways to support Kyle Tucker during his struggles. They decided the best way to show solidarity was to all slump at the same time.

IT’S GAMEDAY IN AUSTRALIA!

Is it $16M now available to sign Cutter under the cap?

[Elliotte Friedman @FriedgeHNIC]

Chris Kreider clears and is now an unrestricted free agent

@mootcow The reply thread is where the real party is

[ProPublica @propublica]

Sept. 21, 2020: Pittsburgh Pirates prospect Oneil Cruz is involved in a car crash in the Dominican Republic that kills three people.

This is how Cruz avoided prosecution — with the help of a local fixer who would go on to become a Red Sox legend’s business partner. THREAD:

@LeftFieldLoge @ghostofthemurph I truly don't understand how fans of teams that are fighting for their lives for the final wild card spot can keep firing at back-to-back champs who are fighting for the best record in baseball. Especially over attendance. LA is bigger, yep, and more successful too.

[Andrew @LAfaninSeattle]

@DodgersAndrew Going to spend my golden years running for higher and higher ground, all the while accurate memes from this movie will be chasing me lol. We're cooked.

[Andrew @LAfaninSeattle]

@ghostofthemurph @LeftFieldLoge BREAKING NEWS: Fans don't spend money on tickets when their team isn't worth watching at the stadium. All the greatest minds in the world! Stop working on cancer and Alzheimer's research! This must be studied NOW! 🤡

[Andrew @LAfaninSeattle]

@Bnicklaus7 I'll definitely read that😉 Thanks for being gentle last night lollll. Others have helped me fill in the gaps, good learning experience.

[Bruce Kuntz @Bnicklaus7]

I’ll have an article up in the morning (probably will go live in the next 4-7 hours) with a deeper dive into why they might have waited until now to promote De Paula and what spurred the decision

[Andrew @LAfaninSeattle]

@AustinSorensen Well Ohtani was already announced to the IL, but Freeman likely.

[Andrew @LAfaninSeattle]

Replacing an injured Ohtani? Or Freeman?

[Noah Camras @noahcamras]

Josue De Paula in 124 games at Double-A this year:

.303 AVG
.401 OBP
.547 SLG
27 HR
104 RBI
31 SB
87 K/81 BB

The Dodgers' No. 1 overall prospect is skipping Triple-A and heading straight to MLB for the stretch run of the season.

Talk about a late-season spark.

[Andrew @LAfaninSeattle]

@trinholitics @TimRogers2080 @Bnicklaus7 Ooo, another good example! I'm surprised I overlooked this, sure, but I'm also very pleased with the discussion it sparked with ball knowers in this neck of Twitter haha. Good stuff, and thanks for the context!

[Andrew @LAfaninSeattle]

Reminder: JDP was not on the 40-man roster by Sept 1st, so he in ineligible to be on any playoff roster.

[Bruce Kuntz @Bnicklaus7]

The main question on my mind with this move: Would the Dodgers really bring up De Paula now just to DH while Ohtani is out and then pinch-hit in the playoffs, or did they finally take this leap because they plan for De Paula to be starting everyday (at least vs RHP) in October?

[Andrew @LAfaninSeattle]

@SnavelyCody6 Thanks for the context! I continue to stand corrected lol. Pretty grateful this morning to have intelligent baseball peeps around me on this platform. 💯

[Andrew @LAfaninSeattle]

@Clay_f22 Yep, worked it out last night. Happy to be wrong for the sake of the Dodgers benefit 😂

[Andrew @LAfaninSeattle]

@calicane213 Already worked it all out. I'm ok with being human and occasionally making mistakes. Slept good last night 👍

[Bruce Kuntz @Bnicklaus7]

Mookie Betts in September:

.333/.455/.667, 1.122 OPS, 11 RBI

The Marlins seeing the Ohtani IL news

[Andrew @LAfaninSeattle]

@DeTrinidadJames Confirmed

[cmf @Clay_f22]

Please understand dodgers fans. Three catchers IS for protecting Will Smith . He can rest and not worry about catching every day. It’s about getting him ready for October.

[Andrew @LAfaninSeattle]

@ShoGotNow @Bnicklaus7 🙏🤝

[Andrew @LAfaninSeattle]

@ShoGotNow @Bnicklaus7 This is the side of Twitter (I refuse to call it X) I like. Good points. I stand corrected.
