Three-Inning Save: Dodgers have a bad week, and 3 major league debuts
April 25, 2024 03:33 - 54 minutesOn this episode of the Three-Inning Save podcast, we recap a rough homestand for the Dodgers, who lost three series in a row at Dodger Stadium. There were troubles with runners in scoring position, and especially so with the bases loaded, too many strikeouts for the hitters, and the continued issue of having the bottom of the lineup produce. The bullpen has struggled as well, and the team just hasn’t been in sync for the last two weeks or so. Among the positives though last week was Shohei Oh...
Three-Inning Save: Andy McCullough on his new book about Clayton Kershaw

Three-Inning Save: Bobby Miller on injured list, Ippei Mizuhara charged with bank fraud
April 15, 2024 16:09 - 59 minutesOn this episode of the Three-Inning Save podcast, we marvel at the details of the criminal complaint against Ippei Mizzuhara, who was charged with bank fraud and stealing over $16 million from Shohei Ohtani. Ohtani and the Dodgers say they want to move on and focus on baseball, and Ohtani for the most part has, going on an extra-base barrage that included tying Hideki Matsui for most home runs in major league history by a player born in Japan. We also take stock of the Dodgers pitching staff ...
Dodgers Rewind: Pat Zachry
April 12, 2024 19:07 - 24 minutesToday on The Three-Inning Save podcast, Eric Stephen and Jacob Burch look back at Pat Zachry, a right-handed pitcher who relieved for the Dodgers in 1983-84 and died on April 4 at age 71.

Three-Inning Save: Dodgers bullpen roster churn
April 08, 2024 02:57 - 51 minutesOn this episode of the Three-Inning Save podcast, we banter about Shohei Ohtani’s first home run as a Dodger, and the hubbub surrounding the aftermath regarding Dodger Stadium security and the fan who caught the ball. The Dodgers have used their bullpen an awful lot in the early part of the season, and in doing so added and subtracted several members along the way. Nabil Crismatt got a win in his one day on the roster, and Dinelson Lamet pitched three times and recorded the first professional...
Three-Inning Save: Dodgers opening series win in the cards
April 02, 2024 04:22 - 56 minutesOn this episode of the Three-Inning Save podcast, the Dodgers re-opened the regular season with the home opener and a four-game weekend series against the Cardinals, of which they won three games. Mookie Betts started the season on fire, including hitting a home run in four straight games. Will Smith is also hot at the plate, fresh off signing a new 10-year contract. Similar for Teoscar Hernández, who homered three times and doubled twice against St. Louis. Dodgers starting pitching was excel...
Three-Inning Save: Dodgers extend Will Smith for 10 years, $140 million
March 28, 2024 09:00 - 24 minutesThe Dodgers signed Will Smith to a 10-year contract worth $140 million, wiping out the final two years of salary arbitration for the All-Star catcher, plus another eight years after that. The deal was finalized on March 27, the day before the home opener at Dodger Stadium and the day before Smith's 29th birthday. Smith is now signed through 2033. He bats cleanup for the Dodgers, behind Mookie Betts (signed through 2023), Shohei Ohtani (signed through 2033), and Freddie Freeman (signed through...
Three-Inning Save: Shohei Ohtani makes his statement
March 28, 2024 02:00 - 50 minutesOn this episode of the Three-Inning Save podcast, the Dodgers are back stateside but the biggest story in the sport involves Shohei Ohtani and fired interpreter Ippei Mizuhara. Ohtani during a press conference at Dodger Stadium read a statement, though did not take questions. In that statement, Ohtani said he has never bet on baseball or any sport, nor has he ever had dealings with a bookie. Ohtani also accused Mizuhara of stealing from him and lying to him, and said he did not know of Mizuha...
Three-Inning Save: Dodgers fire Shohei Ohtani's interpreter, Yoshinobu Yamamoto rocked in debut
March 22, 2024 02:34 - 24 minutesThe Dodgers lost a wild game to the Padres to close out the Seoul Series in South Korea, but that wasn't the biggest story of the day. That belonged to Shohei Ohtani, whose interpreter Ippei Mizuhara was fired by the Dodgers on Wednesday amid a report of ties to an illegal gambler, and accusations of "massive theft" from Ohtani's attorneys. As of now, Major League Baseball has no plans to investigate Ohtani just yet, but the story is still developing. More on that soon, as well as what's ahea...
Three-Inning Save: Dodgers win on opening day in Seoul
March 20, 2024 16:29 - 29 minutesReaction to the Dodgers beating the Padres 5-2 on opening day at Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul, in MLB's first-ever regular season games in SOuth Korea. The low-scoring affair featured the Dodgers hitless in their 14 at-bats with runners on base through seven innings before breaking through with a four-run rally in the eighth inning. Mookie Betts, Shohei Ohtani, and Freddie Freeman combined to reach base eight times in 15 plate appearances, including two hits apiece by Betts and Ohtani, who each ...
Three-Inning Save: Opening day is here
March 20, 2024 00:43 - 51 minutesOn this episode of the Three-Inning Save podcast, opening day is finally here and we look ahead to the Dodgers and Padres playing two early morning games in Seoul, South Korea. We go over the Dodgers’ frenzied reception at Incheon International Airport, including Shohei Ohtani with his now-revealed wife Mamiko Tanaka, a former professional basketball player. Ohtani will also begin a throwing program once the Dodgers return home to Los Angeles, following his elbow surgery in September. We look...
Dodgers Rewind: Jim Neidlinger
March 13, 2024 13:10 - 26 minutesToday on The Three-Inning Save podcast, Eric Stephen and Jacob Burch look back at Jim Neidlinger, who made 12 starts for the Dodgers in 1990.

Three-Inning Save: Mookie Betts is a shortstop ‘for now’
March 11, 2024 21:22 - 53 minutesOn this episode of the Three-Inning Save podcast, we discuss the latest position switch for superstar Mookie Betts, who is now the Dodgers shortstop after Gavin Lux’s throwing problems created an untenable situation in the infield. There’s also the matter of manager Dave Roberts saying Betts to shortstop was “permanent, for now,” which is a hilarious phrase. We look at what might happen beyond this initial move of Lux to second base and how patient the Dodgers might be during his throwing str...
Dodgers Rewind: Stan Javier
March 08, 2024 03:21 - 29 minutesToday on The Three-Inning Save podcast, Eric Stephen and Jacob Burch look back at outfielder Stan Javier, who played for the Dodgers from 1991-93.

February 26, 2024 21:51 - 58 minutesOn this episode of the Three-Inning Save podcast, we have actual spring training games to talk about. That, and MLB uniform quality, and concern over the pants.

Yoshinobu Yamamoto is expected to pitch in his debut on Wednesday. Plus, we look at new deals for various old friends, as well as two other old f...

February 22, 2024 16:58 - 28 minutesToday on The Three-Inning Save podcast, Eric Stephen and Jacob Burch look back at catcher Frenchy Bordagaray, an outfielder and third baseman who had two stints with the Brooklyn Dodgers in the 1930s and 1940s, and held the distinction as the last mustachioed MLB player for more than three decades until the 1970s. Related reading: Bordagaray’s SABR bio, written by Norm King The New York Times obituary of Bordagaray Bordagaray at the Baseball Reference bullpen wiki Los Angeles Times obituary o...
Three-Inning Save: Shohei Ohtani and Yoshinobu Yamamoto turn heads at Dodgers spring training

Three-Inning Save: Clayton Kershaw is still a Dodger (so is Ryan Brasier)
February 07, 2024 04:15 - 20 minutesOn the Three-Inning Save podcast, the Dodgers signed Clayton Kershaw for what would be his 17th season, and potentially longer with a reported player option. Kershaw had elbow surgery in November and isn't expected to pitch until after the All-Star break, but he remains with the only professional organization he's ever known in returning to a loaded Dodgers team. Also this week, the Dodgers re-signed reliever Ryan Brasier and traded left-hander Caleb Ferguson to the Yankees in a bullpen reshu...
Three-Inning Save: Shohei Ohtani was the star of DodgersFest
February 05, 2024 17:46 - 53 minutesOn this episode of the Three-Inning Save podcast, a recap of DodgersFest at Dodger Stadium, at which Shohei Ohtani was understandably the star attraction. We talk about highlights and moments from FanFest, the general vibe at Dodger Stadium, plus some news about the team. That includes Walker Buehler starting the season on the injured list as he’s being slow-played to open the year after Tommy John surgery and will be on an innings limit in 2024. Pitcher Nick Frasso, who was added to the Dodg...
Three-Inning Save: James Paxton rounds out the Dodgers rotation
February 02, 2024 10:22 - 55 minutesOn this episode of the Three-Inning Save podcast, the Dodgers signed veteran pitcher James Paxton to a one-year contract to seemingly round out their starting rotation. Paxton returned from Tommy John surgery to put up a 4.50 ERA in 19 starts for the Red Sox in 2023, though he missed time last year with both a hamstring strain and knee injury, the latter giving a bad ending to an otherwise promising start to his season. Injuries have always been an issue for the 35-year-old Paxton, who has ne...
Three-Inning Save: Dodgers opt for the bird in the hand
January 15, 2024 15:52 - 1 hourOn this episode of the Three-Inning Save podcast, we take a look at the Dodgers roster and payroll for 2024, which has become clearer in the last week. Michael Busch, whose path to playing time with Los Angeles was narrow at best, was traded along with reliever Yency Almonte to the Cubs in exchange for a pair of intriguing minor league prospects. The Dodgers have added four prospects in trades this offseason in moves that were essentially made to clear space on the 40-man roster. One of thos...
Three-Inning Saving: What we got right and wrong about the 2023 Dodgers
January 10, 2024 02:14 - 1 hourOn this episode of the Three-Inning Save podcast, hosts Eric Stephen and Jacob Burch give a full accounting of our various predictions about the 2023 Dodgers. We got some right, and got some wrong. Like Eric picking the Padres to win the National League West, for instance. But this is a look back at all the various questions from Craig Minami throughout last year that pur our predictive powers (or lack thereof) to the test. The Three-Inning Save is part of the Fans First Sports Network. Host...
Three-Inning Save: Dodgers sign Teoscar Hernández
January 08, 2024 13:48 - 26 minutesOn this episode of the Three-Inning Save podcast, hosts Eric Stephen and Jacob Burch react to the Dodgers signing outfielder Teoscar Hernández to a one-year, $23.5 million contract. Hernández adds a right-handed-hitting power hitter who averaged 28 home runs and 31 doubles over the previous three seasons with the Seattle Mariners and Toronto Blue Jays. Hernández especially excels at hitting left-handed pitching, to the tune of a 136 wRC+ in his career, including a 164 wRC+ against southpaws s...
Three-Inning Save: Dodgers sign Yoshinobu Yamamoto, too
December 23, 2023 12:49 - 43 minutesOn this episode of the Three-Inning Save podcast, hosts Eric Stephen and Jacob Burch react to Yoshinobu Yamamoto signing a record-setting $325 million contract with the Dodgers. Yamamoto hit the perfect storm in free agency, as a star who won the last three MVP awards and Eiji Sawamura awards (the latter for top starting pitcher) in Japan, and is only 25 years old, with all the big-market MLB teams interested in his services. The Dodgers won out, beating out the Mets and Yankees with a 12-yea...
Three-Inning Save: Dodgers trade for Tyler Glasnow
December 18, 2023 12:40 - 1 hourOn this episode of the Three-Inning Save podcast, hosts Eric Stephen and Jacob Burch recap a monumental week for the Dodgers, in which they finalized a 10-year contract for Shohei Ohtani then traded for pitcher Tyler Glasnow. Everything last week pretty much revolved around Ohtani, the global superstar, in some way or another. First, his heavily-deferred contract broke some brains in how to properly interpret this deal, and how it can be worth $700 million or $461 million depending on your po...
Three-Inning Save: Learn more about Shohei Ohtani, from Jeff Fletcher
December 14, 2023 22:16 - 26 minutesThe Three-Inning Save podcast covers the Los Angeles Dodgers, and this week we interview Jeff Fletcher of the Orange County Register, who covered the newest Dodger, Shohei Ohtani, in his first six years in the major leagues with the Angels. Jeff wrote a book chronicling Ohtani entitled Sho-Time: The Inside Story of Shohei Ohtani and the Greatest Baseball Season Ever Played, which was written after the 2021 season and the paperback edition was updated after the 2023 World Baseball Classic. Jef...
Three-Inning Save: Dodgers land Shohei Ohtani
December 10, 2023 14:14 - 51 minutesOn this episode of the Three-Inning Save podcast, we are stunned at the enormity of Shohei Ohtani’s 10-year, $700 million contract with the Dodgers. Ohtani’s deal shattered records for both total value and average annual salary in both baseball and North American Sports. His agreement with the Dodgers came after speculation that he might sign with the Blue Jays, plus flight tracking of a plane to Toronto that was actually carrying someone from Shark Tank. We recap the week that led up to Ohta...
Three-Inning Save: Dodgers winter meetings preview
December 02, 2023 20:29 - 1 hourOn this episode of the Three-Inning Save podcast, we take stock of the Dodgers ahead of the winter meetings. The first four weeks of the offseason have been mostly quiet. Jason Heyward is coming back to Los Angeles after a nice bounce-back year. Lance Lynn signed with the Cardinals. Yency Almonte avoided arbitration, and Ricky Vanasco found his way back to the 40-man roster. Shohei Ohtani is the big prize of the offseason, and the Dodgers will certainly be in the mix. But mystery surrounds hi...
Three-Inning Save: Clayton Kershaw has surgery, Max Muncy has a new contract, MLB offseason is here
November 09, 2023 13:47 - 1 hourOn this episode of the Three-Inning Save podcast, we usher in the official start of the MLB offseason. On November 2, the day after the World Series, 12 Dodgers became free agents, headlined by shoulder-surgery-recoverer Clayton Kershaw and J.D. Martinez. We go over the Dodgers roster at the start of the offseason, plus Max Muncy’s new 2-year contract, various club option decisions and important dates upcoming. We also look at the volatile nature of postseason performance, personified by Core...
Three-Inning Save: Another Dodgers season ends early
October 14, 2023 20:40 - 52 minutesOn this episode of the Three-Inning Save podcast, we lament the Dodgers getting swept in three games by the Diamondbacks in the NLDS. Game 3 at Chase Field in Phoenix went much like the first two games in Los Angeles. Arizona took an early lead with four solo home runs in the third inning against homer-prone Lance Lynn. Dodgers starting pitchers in the NLDS allowed 13 runs and recorded 14 outs in the series. Those four runs proved too much for an inept Dodgers offense, who scored only two run...
Three-Inning Save: Dodgers lay an egg at home in the NLDS
October 11, 2023 03:55 - 47 minutesOn this episode of the Three-Inning Save podcast, we dissect the Dodgers implosion in the first two games of the NLDS against the Diamondbacks at Dodger Stadium. Clayton Kershaw had the worst start of his career, allowing six runs while recording only one out in Game 1. Bobby Miller recorded only five outs in his postseason debut in Game 2. The Dodgers trailed by several runs before they batted in both games. The offense could not pick up the slack, scoring only twice each in the first two ga...
Three-Inning Save: Dodgers vs. D-backs NLDS preview
October 06, 2023 17:37 - 43 minutesOn this episode of the Three-Inning Save podcast, we preview the National League Division Series between the Los Angeles Dodgers and Arizona Diamondbacks. Arizona swept the Milwaukee Brewers in the wild card round, giving the Dodgers their fourth straight NLDS against a divisional opponent, and fifth in the last seven years dating back to 2017. We look at the matchup, including the Dodgers’ strong performances against D-backs starters Zac Gallen, Merrill Kelly, and Brandon Pfaadt this season,...
Three-Inning Save: Dodgers await their NLDS opponent
October 03, 2023 14:52 - 54 minutesOn this episode of the Three-Inning Save podcast, the Dodgers won 100 games for the fourth full season in a row, and will play either the Brewers or Diamondbacks in the National League Division Series. We briefly look back at the regular season, including amazing campaigns by Mookie Betts and Freddie Freeman. And we also look ahead to Clayton Kershaw set to make his 12th career Game 1 start on Saturday at Dodger Stadium. The Three-Inning Save is part of the Fans First Sports Network. Hosted b...
Three-Inning Save: Dodgers getting ready for October
September 30, 2023 12:46 - 58 minutesOn this episode of the Three-Inning Save podcast, the Dodgers have less than one week left to go in the regular season, with their October path now fairly clear. The Dodgers have clinched a bye past the wild card round and into the Division Series, which means they will have five days off between their regular season finale and Game 1 of the NLDS on Saturday, October 7. We know Bobby Miller and Clayton Kershaw will start the first two games, but the order remains to be seen. At least for the ...
Three-Inning Save: Dodgers win the National League West, again
September 18, 2023 13:53 - 1 hourOn this episode of the Three-Inning Save podcast, we recap the Dodgers clinching their 10th division title in 11 years. Despite a starting pitching staff that was decimated, and growing pains for several rookies along the way, the Dodgers cruised to yet another division title. How they managed the pitching in the last two days in Seattle against the Mariners is a potential preview of how the team might deploy its pitchers this postseason. Over the weekend, hard-throwing right-handed rookies E...
Three-Inning Save: The good, the bad, and the despicable
September 11, 2023 14:26 - 1 hourOn this episode of the Three-Inning Save podcast, we recap a very eventful week for the Dodgers, the good, the bad, and the despicable. Julio Urías was arrested on suspicion of domestic violence and was placed on administrative leave by Major League Baseball. While not official yet, given the timing and his pending free agency, this effectively ends his time with the Dodgers in ignobility. Mookie Betts fouled a ball off his left foot and left the stadium in Miami and crutches, which made ever...
Three-Inning Save: Takeaways from the Dodgers-Braves series
September 05, 2023 00:47 - 1 hourOn this episode of the Three-Inning Save podcast, we take stock of the good, bad, and the ugly of the Dodgers losing three out of four games to the Braves. Bobby Miller impressed on Sunday with seven strong innings, making a strong case to move up in the pecking order in the October postseason rotation. We recorded this episode on Sunday night, before news of Julio Urías getting arrested in Los Angeles on felony domestic violence charges. Urías will not accompany the team on their road trip ...
Dodgers Rewind: Pete Richert
August 29, 2023 09:00 - 30 minutesToday on The Three-Inning Save podcast, Eric Stephen and Jacob Burch look back at pitcher Pete Richert, who pitched for the Dodgers at the start (1962-64) and near the end (1972-73) of his career.

Three-Inning Save: Tony Gonsolin needs Tommy John surgery
August 29, 2023 03:25 - 26 minutesThe frustrating 2023 season of Tony Gonsolin officially comes to an end, with news that the Dodgers right-hander will undergo Tommy John surgery on Friday, September 1. Gonsolin started the season on the injured list with an ankle injury, and was pitching at a diminished capacity for the bulk of his 20 starts, though the team insists he didn't risk further injury while pitching. This surgery likely knocks Gonsolin out for 2024 as well, so we look at the Dodgers rotation for next year, with fe...
Three-Inning Save: Mookie Betts, Freddie Freeman & the National League MVP race
August 28, 2023 09:56 - 1 hourOn this episode of the Three-Inning Save podcast, Mookie Betts continued one of the best hot streaks in Dodgers history, and returned to Boston for the first time since getting traded by the Red Sox. Betts is on such an incredible hot streak, dating back two months, that he might now be the favorite for National League MVP. There’s still five weeks left in the season to decide this award, and Ronald Acuña Jr. of the Braves will have a lot to say about it. So will Freddie Freeman, who already ...
Three-Inning Save: Mookie Betts on fire, Tony Gonsolin’s season might be over
August 21, 2023 14:40 - 1 hourOn this episode of the Three-Inning Save podcast, we look back at another winning week for the Dodgers, led by a scalding-hot Mookie Betts and a resurgent Austin Barnes, among others. Also, Tony Gonsolin reached the end of his rope after pitching hurt for two-plus months, landing on the injured list with elbow/forearm inflammation and unlikely to pitch again this season. The Dodgers had a 23-year rainout streak snapped thanks to the first tropical storm in California in 84 years. J.D. Martine...
Three-Inning Save: Another Dodgers three-inning save, by Ryan Yarbrough
August 16, 2023 12:19 - 27 minutesOn this episode of the Three-Inning Save podcast, the Dodgers punctuated their ninth consecutive win by living up to our podcast name, with Ryan Yarbrough collecting a three-inning save. Yarbrough, one of five players acquired by the Dodgers before the trade deadline, has impressed in a hybrid bulk relief role since joining Los Angeles, and has helped "save" the rest of the bullpen with his extended outings. For Yarbrough to get his three-inning save -- like Andre Jackson twice and Emmet Shee...
Three-Inning Save: Dodgers take control of the National League West
August 14, 2023 12:24 - 58 minutesOn this episode of the Three-Inning Save podcast, hosts Eric Stephen and Jacob Burch discuss the juggernaut Dodgers, who have won eight straight games and now have a commanding 8½-game lead in the National League West. Clayton Kershaw returned for the first time in over six weeks, and Lance Lynn continued to ride his fastball to success since getting traded to the Dodgers. Fellow deadline acquisitions Kiké Hernández (131 wRC+) and Amed Rosario (130 wRC+) have boosted the offense as well, espe...
Dodgers Rewind: Ed Roebuck
August 11, 2023 21:27 - 28 minutesToday on The Three-Inning Save podcast, Eric Stephen and Jacob Burch look back at pitcher Ed Roebuck, the former Dodgers reliever who was a rookie on the 1955 Brooklyn team that won the first World Series in franchise history, and was used heavily down the stretch as the Dodgers lost the pennant to San Francisco in 1962. We talk about Roebuck’s 11-year major league career, his tirade about manager Walt Alston after getting traded to Washington, Roebuck’s legendary prowess with the fungo bat, ...
Three-Inning Save: Lance Lynn era begins, Dodgers get a 4-inning save
August 07, 2023 15:45 - 1 hourOn this episode of the Three-Inning Save podcast, hosts Eric Stephen and Jacob Burch give a final recap of the Dodgers trade deadline, including the deal for Eduardo Rodrigez that fell through and adding Ryan Yarbrough. Emmet Sheehan pitched a perfectly-timed four-inning save (no, we are not changing the podcast name), and the Dodgers won five out of six games against the A’s and Padres, losing only thanks to a nightmare eighth inning by the bullpen in San Diego on Saturday. The players the D...
Three-Inning Save: Dodgers get an early start on the trade deadline
July 31, 2023 11:45 - 1 hourOn this episode of the Three-Inning Save podcast, hosts Eric Stephen and Jacob Burch look back on last week’s plea that the Dodgers very clearly needed to trade for starting pitching, then they went out and proved it by having a terrible week on the mound. The Dodgers did get a head start on the MLB trade deadline by making three deals. They brought back Kiké Hernández and traded for Amed Rosario to bolster the right-handed options among position players. Plus they got Rosario for pitcher Noa...
Dodgers Rewind: Mike Harkey
July 28, 2023 03:11 - 27 minutesToday on The Three-Inning Save podcast, Eric Stephen and Jacob Burch look back at pitcher Mike Harkey, the former Cal State Fullerton pitcher who ended his playing career down the stretch with the Dodgers in 1997, who came on our radar thanks to Immaculate Grid.
