Got the unlimited package. Many times the signal would drop in various buildings to 3g or 4g which was not usable. downloaded audio guide at colloseum one morning and couldn’t use the internet the rest of the morning. I understand that there was a 3gb limit and then it theoretically slows down. I don’t mind slow speed but it didn’t connect at all afterwards. wouldn’t use again.

Saw this online from translated Japanese post at dodgers17ohchan . The wording is a bit weird because it’s auto translated

Does anyone know if Ohtani had changed his swing this year like it’s mentioned below?

“I asked a follower who specializes in biomechanics

• Shohei's condition hasn't worsened

• The team views a return to pitching as having a negative impact on his hitting

• It seems Shohei had long wanted to lower his point of contact as a countermeasure for when aging truly slows his bat speed (this is also why he can't hit four-seamers, and moreover, his knee injury delayed its completion)

• He will likely revert to his original style to fully dedicate himself to team contributions, taking this opportunity

It should become clear from his batting in tomorrow's game and the next series against the Cardinals

• By the way, reverting seems far easier than the point change, but it carried years of sentiment and took time, so he couldn't let it go”

>>Shohei Ohtani will not pitch Wednesday vs. PHI. Dodgers are being cautious with his knee recovery. They do not have a date for when he could make his next pitching start.

“We just want to continue to give (the knee) the best chance to get into a good spot,” Dave Roberts said.<<

Anyone know what this means? is it good news he didn't need it drained and got this injection instead?

The Los Angeles Dodgers have booked a date with the White House to celebrate the team’s second-straight World Series title, The California Post has learned.

The team will visit the White House on July 23 during an off day between a three-game series against the Phillies and a three-game set with the Mets on an East Coast road trip, a White House official told The Post.

“President Trump is excited to welcome the Los Angeles Dodgers BACK to the White House to celebrate their World Series championship!” White House spokeswoman Taylor Rogers said in a statement.

The now-planned visit ends months of speculation swirling around the trip.

While manager Dave Roberts stated in the offseason he fully intended on going — “I am going to continue to try to do what tradition says,” he said — the Dodgers did miss out on the opportunity to celebrate with President Trump while they were in D.C. for their series against the Nationals in April.

The Dodgers couldn’t fit a White House visit into their series against Washington because of the game schedule, and with no other trips to the nation’s capital this season, it appeared they would miss the tradition.

But with an off day between series in Philadelphia (July 20–22) and New York (July 24–26), they found a window that worked for a visit with Trump.

The team previously celebrated a World Series win with Trump in April 2025. During that visit, Trump glowed about the Dodgers, praising the team while acknowledging Shohei Ohtani’s “movie star” looks.

Former Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw called that White House visit “an incredible honor to get to go see, regardless of who’s in office.”

“We went in 2021,” Kershaw said. “We went this time. I know there’s been a lot of stuff about, should the Dodgers go? All this stuff. But at the end of the day, getting to go to the White House, getting to see the Oval Office, getting to meet the President of the United States, that’s stuff that you can’t lose sight of, no matter what you believe.”

"Absolutely awful news. Eliezer Alfonzo Jr. is in the Dodgers’ lineup today for his major league debut."

From DanielAlvarezEE

"It’s such a difficult moment for the Alfonzo family. While they celebrate Eliezer’s promotion to the big leagues, his father is still looking for his daughter and wife (not Eliezer Jr’s mom) after the devastating earthquakes in Venezuela. They were staying at one of the buildings that collapsed last Wednesday."

From: FabianArdaya

"Shohei Ohtani said he left tonight’s game after feeling something in his right biceps during his last at-bat. Only felt it swinging. Called it precautionary.

Ohtani said he felt this two months ago, and it went away rather quickly that time."
