Dean may have only appeared in situational moments, but he understood his role and executed it perfectly. Who knows what might have happened had he not raised his arms to signal that lodged ball?

Justin Dean will forever be remembered for his heads-up play in Game 6. Without it, the Dodgers could have been sent packing — but instead, he helped secure their dynasty. Now, he'll suit up for their division rival, the San Francisco Giants..."

What do we know about Miguel Rojas who hit the game tying home run in the 7th game 9th inning ? ⚾🏟️🧢

Miguel Rojas

"The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom." — Proverbs 9:10

Here's a detailed biography of Miguel Rojas. 

---

Early Life & Background

Miguel Elias Rojas Naidenoff was born on February 24, 1989, in Los Teques, Miranda state, Venezuela. He is right-handed both in batting and throwing. 

He grew up in Venezuela, where baseball is deeply rooted, developing his skills and passion for the game from a young age. His path to the majors began by signing as an amateur free agent with the Cincinnati Reds organization in 2006. 

---

Minor League & MLB Debut

After signing with the Reds, Rojas worked his way through their minor-league system, including stints in the Dominican and Venezuelan Summer Leagues, and various levels in the U.S. 

In late 2012 he became a free agent and signed with the Los Angeles Dodgers organization in 2013. 

On June 6, 2014, Rojas made his Major League Baseball debut with the Dodgers. 

---

MLB Career Progression

Los Angeles Dodgers (first stint, 2014): Rojas appeared with the Dodgers in 2014, mostly in a defensive role and emerging from the minors. 

Miami Marlins (2015-2022): He spent several seasons with the Marlins, becoming a regular infielder, primarily at shortstop, known for his defense, versatility, and clubhouse presence. 

Return to Dodgers (2023-present): Rojas returned to the Dodgers in 2023. He has since continued his role as a veteran infielder and mentor, valued for his defense and leadership. 

---

Skills & Playing Style

Rojas is not primarily known for prodigious power, but rather for his excellent defensive abilities, versatility across the infield (and occasionally second base or third), and his reliability in key situations. 

For example, in the 2024 season, he slashed .283/.337/.410, posted a career-high slugging percentage, and earned the Roy Campanella Award from the Dodgers for leadership. 

---

Key Achievements

Two-time World Series champion with the Dodgers. 

Recipient of the Roy Campanella Award, which honors the Dodgers player who best exemplifies leadership and spirit, awarded by his teammates and coaches. 

Known for a remarkable team-record streak: In the 2024 season, when Rojas got at least one hit, the Dodgers were undefeated in those games. 

---

Personal Life & Off-Field

Miguel Rojas is married to Mariana Rojas Gamboa, and they share two children: a son Aaron Elias and a daughter Amber Lucía. 

He changed his uniform number from 19 to 11 in 2022, in honor of his grandfather who had passed away in the offseason. 

---

Contract & Financial Highlights

Rojas signed a contract extension in 2023 with the Dodgers (approximately 2 years, ~$11 million), inclusive of a signing bonus, reflecting the club's appreciation of his experience and value. 

---

Legacy & Significance

Miguel Rojas stands out as a player who has built a long Major League career—not as a superstar in the conventional sense—but as a dependable defender, multi-position infielder, and clubhouse leader. His journey from Venezuela to MLB, his perseverance, and his role in championship teams underline his significance.

In many ways, Rojas embodies the biblical virtues of service, humility, and steadiness: not always in the spotlight, but faithful in his contributions and always ready when called upon.

World Series 2025 recap: congrats to the Dodgers ⚾🏟️🏆! & good job Blue Jays 👍

"The Lord will fight for you; 

you need only to be still." — 

         Exodus 14:14

Hold onto your hat — the Los Angeles Dodgers have done the almost-unthinkable, clinching the 2025 World Series by a 4-3 margin over the Toronto Blue Jays in a breathtaking, emotional roller-coaster of a series. 

From the opening pitch in Game 1, Toronto announced themselves. The Blue Jays erupted to an 11-4 victory, chasing LA's bullpen and setting a tone of confidence. Their offense was alive; the Dodgers looked vulnerable. According to summaries, Game 1 saw a historic pinch-hit grand slam from Toronto's bench, energizing the home crowd. 

But the Dodgers weren't done. In Game 2, their ace Yoshinobu Yamamoto turned in a complete-game gem (4 hits allowed, 8 K's) to even the series and regain some momentum. 

 Game 3? An 18-inning marathon where the Dodgers edged Toronto 6-5 on a heroic walk-off home run by Freddie Freeman. Then the Blue Jays answered back — they took Games 4 and 5 (6-2 and 6-1 respectively) to grab a 3-2 series lead, exploiting LA's occasional lapses and firing up their offense and bullpen. 

Facing elimination in Game 6, the Dodgers rallied. Yamamoto again came through, six strong innings, and Freddie Freeman and company helped push it to a decisive Game 7. 

Game 7 — oh, what a game. Toronto jumped ahead early with a three-run blast from Bo Bichette off the Dodgers' starter Shohei Ohtani in the 3rd inning. The Blue Jays added another, pushing up to 4-2 by the sixth. But the Dodgers chipped away — in the 8th, Max Muncy belted a solo home run to make it 4-3.

 Then in the 9th, with their backs against the wall, the Dodgers tied it via an unexpected solo homer from utilityman Miguel Rojas. In 11 innings, with two outs, two strikes, the Dodgers' Will Smith launched a go-ahead homer to left, putting LA ahead 5-4. 

Then Yamamoto, despite throwing extraordinary effort on zero rest, backed it up: he closed the bottom of the 11th with a game-ending double play, clinching the title and earning World Series MVP. 

The Dodgers become the first team in 25 years to repeat as champions, and the first NL team since 1976 to do so. Meanwhile, the Blue Jays came within inches of their first title in 32 years, only to see it slip away.

What a battle. Momentum shifted, heroes emerged, dreams were chased. The faith, resilience and clutch moments of the Dodgers shine: not just talent, but endurance.

Fun facts: How many of the Toronto Blue Jays are actually Canadian citizens ?

> "Many hands make light work." — Ecclesiastes 4:9

As of the most recent information, the Toronto Blue Jays have only one Canadian-born player on their major-league roster: Vladimir Guerrero Jr. (born in Montreal, Quebec) is identified as the sole Canadian-born player on the team. 

> "Render unto Caesar what is Caesar's, and unto God what is God's." — Matthew 22:21

Yes — Vladimir Guerrero Jr. is a Canadian citizen by birth. 🇨🇦

He was born in Montreal, Quebec, in 1999, while his father, Hall of Famer Vladimir Guerrero Sr., was playing for the Montreal Expos. That makes him a Canadian citizen by jus soli (citizenship by birthplace), even though he grew up primarily in the Dominican Republic and represents that country in international play.

So, while he identifies culturally and athletically with the Dominican Republic, he legally holds Canadian citizenship as well.

📖 Bible Verse:

"Do not wear yourself out to get rich; have the wisdom to show restraint." — Proverbs 23:4

Mark Walter – Financier, Philanthropist, and Sports Owner

Mark Walter (born January 1, 1960, in Cedar Rapids, Iowa) is an American financier, philanthropist, and sports-franchise owner best known for leading ownership of the Los Angeles Dodgers and, as of 2025, the Los Angeles Lakers. A graduate of Creighton University and Northwestern University School of Law, Walter co-founded Liberty Hampshire, which evolved into Guggenheim Partners, a global financial-services firm managing hundreds of billions in assets.

In 2012, Walter led the record-setting $2.15 billion acquisition of the Dodgers, ushering in an era of sustained excellence marked by multiple division titles and a World Series crown. Expanding his influence in professional sports, he agreed in 2025 to acquire a majority stake in the Los Angeles Lakers in a landmark $10 billion deal. Beyond baseball and basketball, he oversees TWG Global, investing across media, insurance, real estate, and emerging technologies.

Walter is married to Kimbra Walter, an attorney and philanthropist who serves on the boards of cultural and educational institutions, including the Lincoln Park Zoo, OneGoal, and the Goodman Theatre. The couple have one daughter and maintain a notably private family life, residing primarily in Chicago. Public information about their marriage date or Kimbra's early background is limited, and there are no credible reports of prior marriages.

Together, the Walters are devoted philanthropists. Through the Los Angeles Dodgers Foundation and other charitable efforts, they have contributed tens of millions toward education, conservation, and social-justice causes — including wildlife preservation in Florida and wildfire-recovery initiatives in California.

Politically, Walter has made select campaign contributions to Democratic causes, including to the Obama for America campaign and the Democratic National Committee in 2011, though he generally avoids public political involvement. He serves on boards of cultural and educational institutions, reflecting his broader commitment to civic engagement.

While his religious beliefs remain private, his philanthropic actions reflect values of compassion and stewardship. Walter's estimated net worth ranges from $6 billion to $12.5 billion, which is immense by everyday standards but modest compared to the global ultra-wealthy; the top 10 richest people in the world have net worths exceeding $150 billion, making Walter's fortune comparatively smaller in that elite context.

Throughout his career, Walter has largely avoided personal controversy, earning a reputation as a discreet, integrity-driven leader whose influence spans business, sports, and humanitarian service.

🏟️🧢⚾Freeman's homer in 18- inning thriller gives Dodgers win vs Blue Jays 6-5 in World Series classic !

" Rejoice always, pray without ceasing." — 1 Thessalonians 5:16–17

Here's a detailed synopsis of last night's epic: In Game 3 of the 2025 World Series, the Los Angeles Dodgers edged out the Toronto Blue Jays 6–5 in an 18-inning marathon at Dodger Stadium, tying the longest game (by innings) in World Series history. 

The Blue Jays struck first in the 4th with a three-run homer by Alejandro Kirk, taking a 3-2 lead, and followed that with another run when two singles and a sacrifice fly made it 4-2. 

The Dodgers battled back: Shohei Ohtani crushed his first home run to pull them within, and then a two-out RBI single by Freddie Freeman tied the game before Ohtani's second homer in the 7th made it 5-5. Ohtani ended the night by reaching base nine times – a postseason record – thanks to two home runs, two doubles and five walks (four intentional). 

From the 7th through the 17th inning neither team managed another run — pitching changes and defensive gems dominated. Then, in the bottom of the 18th, Freeman ended it: facing left-hander Brendon Little, he roped a full-count sinker 406 feet to straight-away center field for a walk-off home run that sent Dodger Stadium into euphoria and gave LA the series lead, 2–1. 

Rookie reliever Will Klein earned the win with four shutout innings of relief, having previously never thrown more than 36 pitches in the majors. Bullpens were used like little else: together the teams used 19 pitchers, a postseason record. 

Manager Dave Roberts called the game "one of the greatest World Series games of all time." 

The Dodgers now lead the series 2–1, and have shifted momentum their way ...

Clayton Kershaw is well known for his deep Christian faith. Throughout his career, he's spoken openly about giving glory to God for his talent and platform.

Kershaw has said that baseball is "a platform to share what Christ ✝️ has done in my life," and that he tries to "use every opportunity for God's glory." He and his wife Ellen founded Kershaw's Challenge, a faith-based nonprofit that supports children and families in need in Los Angeles, Dallas, Zambia, and the Dominican Republic.

He's also co-authored a book titled Arise: Live Out Your Faith and Dreams on Whatever Field You Find Yourself, where he writes:

Dodgers bounce back in game two of the World Series winning 5-1

In Game 2 of the 2025 World Series, the Los Angeles Dodgers evened the series at 1–1 with a decisive 5–1 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays on Saturday, October 25, 2025. The game was highlighted by a dominant pitching performance from Yoshinobu Yamamoto and timely hitting from the Dodgers' lineup.

🧢 Starting Pitchers

Dodgers: Yoshinobu Yamamoto delivered a masterful performance, tossing a complete game while allowing just one run on four hits. He struck out eight batters and did not issue any walks. This outing marked his second consecutive complete game in the postseason, a feat not accomplished since Curt Schilling in 2001. 

Blue Jays: Blake Snell struggled on the mound, surrendering five runs on eight hits and three walks over five-plus innings. 

🔑 Key Moments

Early Offense: The Dodgers took an early lead with a solo home run by Tommy Edman in the second inning.

Back-to-Back Homers: In the third inning, Mookie Betts singled, setting the stage for Teoscar Hernández and Freddie Freeman to hit back-to-back home runs, extending the Dodgers' lead to 4–1.

Insurance Runs: Max Muncy and Will Smith each added solo home runs in the seventh inning, providing additional cushion for the Dodgers. 

Injury Scare: In the seventh inning, Shohei Ohtani suffered a left shoulder subluxation while attempting to steal second base. He was attended to by trainers and exited the game, though the severity of the injury is yet to be determined. 

📊 Final Score

Team.       1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 R H E

Blue Jays  0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 4 0

Dodgers.   0 1 3 0 0 0 1 0 X 5 9 0

The series now shifts to LA for Game 3, with both teams looking to gain the upper hand in this tightly contested matchup.

World Series: Dodgers Lose Game 1 to Blue Jays in Toronto after a blowout 6th inning. Final score: 11-4

The Blue Jays exploded at home, routing the Dodgers 11-4 in the opener at Rogers Centre in Toronto. They trailed 2-0 after the third inning, with the Dodgers getting early RBI hits by Will Smith and Enrique Hernández. But Toronto answered in the fourth when Daulton Varsho launched a two-run homer off the Dodgers' starter Blake Snell.

The game turned in the sixth inning — the Blue Jays unleashed a nine-run inning, the largest in a World Series frame since 1968. Highlights included Addison Barger's pinch-hit grand slam (the first in World Series history) and a two-run homer by Alejandro Kirk. That surge put Toronto firmly in command. The Dodgers' bullpen faltered, allowing eight hits and multiple walks.

For Los Angeles, Shohei Ohtani belted a two-run shot in the seventh, but it proved too little, too late. The result gave Toronto a 1-0 lead in the series and a massive momentum boost.

is Shoehei Ohtani a Christian ?

While Shohei Ohtani has maintained a high degree of privacy regarding His personal life, including His faith, several reports indicate that He is a practicing Christian.

This is considered a "surprise" by some commentators because Christianity accounts for a very small percentage of the population in Japan (around 1%), where the primary religious traditions are Buddhism and Shintoism.

Ohtani Himself has not frequently spoken publicly about His faith. However, media reports often link Him to the Christian faith, particularly in the context of the Los Angeles Dodgers, who have a number of openly Christian players."

The reason I included the video was to provide context, as that particular "Christian Faith Night" event is often cited in the reports that claim He is a practicing Christian.

Why the Evidence is Indirect

Ohtani, being extremely private about His personal life, rarely makes public statements regarding His religious beliefs. The reports of His faith usually come from the following indirect sources:

• Teammate Testimony: Other openly Christian players on His team (like Clayton Kershaw or Freddie Freeman) sometimes mention His presence and participation in team-related faith activities.

• Organizational Context: The source snippets indicated that He is a "surprise Christian on the Dodgers" and that He is "reported He is a practicing Christian," which means the information is based on reporting and observation, not His own public interviews.

Therefore, while the reporting suggests His affiliation with the Christian faith, direct public evidence, such as Him speaking at a Faith Night, is rare or non-existent due to His private nature.

ALCS UPDATE: Blue Jays and Mariners are tied 2–2 heading into Game 5.

The American League Championship Series is down to a dramatic deadlock — the Blue Jays and Mariners are tied 2–2 heading into Game 5. 

Seattle came out swinging early, grabbing a 2–0 lead in the series with a dazzling Game 2 showing. Jorge Polanco crushed a three-run homer that broke the game open, bolstered by big swings from Julio Rodríguez and Josh Naylor. 

But Toronto struck back in spectacular fashion in Game 3, erupting for a blowout victory (13–4) to stave off elimination and shift momentum back to their side. 

Most recently, Game 4 favored the visitors again: Max Scherzer delivered a vintage performance in his 500th career start — 5⅔ innings, two earned runs — guiding the Jays to an 8–2 win and leveling the series. Meanwhile, offensively, Toronto kept the pressure on via homers from Vlad Guerrero Jr. and Andres Giménez, each pivotal in the win. 

Now, with the series tied and both clubs guaranteed more drama, Game 5 looms as a pivotal turning point. Seattle will counter with Bryce Miller (returning from relief duty) while the Jays roll out Kevin Gausman — the stage is set for an ALCS clash that could go either way. 

Back in LA, Dodgers win game 3 NLCS versus Brewers: could be a sweep into World Series ⚾🧢 🏟️

Dodger Stadium crackled with tension and promise as Game 3 opened. From the first pitch, L.A. struck quickly: Shohei Ohtani lashed a leadoff triple and Mookie Betts followed with a double to drive him home — the Dodgers were on the board early. 

Milwaukee answered right back in the top of the second. Caleb Durbin roared a triple into the gap, and Jake Bauers sneaked in a single to knot the game 1–1. 

But this was when the Dodgers' resolve showed. Tyler Glasnow, sharp and fierce, carried them through 5⅔ innings, giving up just one run and punching out eight batters. 

In the bottom of the sixth, L.A. pounced. Will Smith singled in Tommy Edman, reclaiming the lead. Chaos followed: a wild pickoff throw by reliever Abner Uribe allowed Freddie Freeman to dash home for a 3–1 cushion. 

From there, the bullpen locked the door. Rōki Sasaki closed out a perfect ninth. In between, Mookie Betts made a jaw-dropping defensive play in the late innings — ranging deep, snagging a grounder, and whipping it to first to preserve the lead. 

Final: Dodgers 3, Brewers 1. L.A. now leads the NLCS 3–0, one win away from a return to the World Series.

NLCS: Dodgers v Brewers game 2 recap : LA leads series 2-0, heading home

📖 Bible Verse: "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." — Philippians 4:13

The Dodgers marched into Milwaukee for Game 2 of the NLCS looking to take command of the series—and that's exactly what they did. Behind the masterful pitching of Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Los Angeles silenced the Brewers' bats and took a 5–1 victory, moving one step closer to another World Series berth. Milwaukee's crowd came alive early when rookie Jackson Chourio opened the bottom of the first with a solo blast that gave the Brewers brief hope. But that noise faded fast.

Yamamoto settled into a rhythm, mowing down hitters with his precision fastball and devastating splitter. His complete-game gem featured just three hits allowed, one walk, and seven strikeouts—a performance that echoed postseason greatness. On offense, the Dodgers responded in kind. Teoscar Hernández tied the game with a solo homer, Max Muncy launched another, and Shohei Ohtani drove in a key run with his usual flair. By the seventh inning, it was clear who owned the night.

Now up 2–0 in the series, the Dodgers head home to Chavez Ravine with the momentum firmly on their side, their sights fixed on finishing what they started in Milwaukee.

The series began in Philadelphia, with the Dodgers taking Game 1 by rallying late and holding off a Phillies comeback. In Game 2, both pitching staffs dominated until the Dodgers broke through in the seventh to take a 2–0 series lead. When the action shifted to Los Angeles for Game 3, the Phillies delivered a strong offensive performance. Kyle Schwarber belted two home runs, and in the eighth inning they erupted for a five-run inning that turned the game into a rout. Clayton Kershaw was pulled after being battered and the Dodgers could only muster one run; the Phillies won 8–2 to force a Game 4. MLB.com+3Wikipedia+3The Washington Post+3

Game 4 was a pitchers' duel deep into extra innings. The Phillies scored in the top of the seventh, but the Dodgers tied it in that half on a bases-loaded walk. From the 8th through 10th, both teams held steady, sending the game into the 11th tied at 1–1. Yahoo Sports+4Wikipedia+4MLB.com+4 In the bottom of the 11th, after two outs, pinch runner Hyeseong Kim stood on third base with the bases loaded. Andy Pages hit a weak comebacker to pitcher Orion Kerkering. Kerkering mis-handled it and instead of throwing to first, he foolishly attempted a play at the plate; his throw sailed wildly past catcher J.T. Realmuto, allowing Kim to score the walk-off run. The Dodgers won 2-1 and clinched the series 3–1.

LA Wins game 1 "Dodgers flip script on Phillies as we all 'witness history' with Shohei Ohtani"

"Shohei Ohtani, the Dodgers' two-way MVP making his first career postseason start as a pitcher, played his role by pitching six dominant innings. He gave up three hits and three runs, while retiring 15 of the last 17 batters he faced. His only blemish was a two-run triple by catcher J.T. Realmuto.

He even hit like a pitcher striking out four consecutive times for only the second time in his career. He'll be back doing his regular DH duties until Game 5, if the game is necessary."

"

Plaschke: One team stands between the Dodgers and a World Series title ... Bring on the Phillies! "

summary of Game 1 of the 2025 NL Wild Card Series, in which the Dodgers defeated the Reds 10–5:

🔥 Key Highlights & Performances

Explosive offense:

Shohei Ohtani and Teoscar Hernández each hit two home runs. 

Tommy Edman also contributed a homer. 

In total, the Dodgers launched five homers, setting a postseason mark for their club. 

Pitching & control:

Blake Snell turned in a strong start: 7 innings, 9 strikeouts, and just 2 runs allowed. 

Reds starter Hunter Greene struggled, giving up five runs in three innings before being pulled. 

Game flow:

The Dodgers jumped on top early. Ohtani hit a leadoff homer in the first inning. 

L.A. built a big lead through the middle innings (including back-to-back homers by Hernández and Edman in the 3rd). 

The Reds attempted a late rally, plating 5 runs in the 7th and 8th, but couldn't overcome the deficit. 

Other notes & concerns:

Two Dodgers — Tommy Edman (ankle) and Kiké Hernández (back) — exited early due to injury concerns. 

The bullpen allowed some damage late (three runs), briefly loading the bases in the 8th, but held on. 

---

✅ Bottom Line

The Dodgers' offense overwhelmed the Reds in Game 1. Their combination of power hitting and a quality start from Snell gave them a commanding win. Though the bullpen showed some cracks late, the early lead was more than enough. Los Angeles now leads the series 1–0.

"The Dodgers will host the Reds for the first of what could be a three-game series on Tuesday at 6 p.m. PT. While Kershaw won't be directly contributing, the future Hall of Famer was unsurprisingly team-first in his response to not making the Wild Card roster... 

I'll take the next few days to recover from this one and then come Saturday, just be ready for anything," Kershaw said. "That's the part of the playoffs that's exciting, and there's part of the playoffs that you just can't prepare for either. You just do what's asked of you."

Dodgers Dominant, Mariners Rising: Who’s Leading the 2025 World Series Chase?

📖 Bible Verse of the Day:

"From the ends of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I."

—Psalm 61:2 (KJV)

---

As the dog days of the MLB season unfold, the Los Angeles Dodgers maintain their spot as the World Series favorites, buoyed by recent midseason acquisitions like Alex Call and Brock Stewart. With deep reserves and formidable betting odds, L.A. continues to project championship caliber. 

But this year's championship narrative stretches well beyond L.A. The New York Yankees and Mets remain in the conversation—each securing bullpen upgrades and fighting for top wild card positioning. Meanwhile, the Detroit Tigers and Philadelphia Phillies are making noise, their odds improving as both clubs sit among the standout contenders in the American League and National League, respectively. 

Elsewhere, the Seattle Mariners are quietly surging with a lineup that consistently delivers. New additions Eugenio Suárez and Josh Naylor have boosted Seattle's already impressive team batting metrics, placing them squarely in the hunt alongside elite contenders. Not to be overlooked, the Miami Marlins have emerged as dark-horse contenders following a spectacular 30–14 run since mid-June, including a sweep of the Yankees that turned heads. 

On the individual front, stars are shining across the league. Aaron Judge continues to lead the American League in batting average and OPS, reinforcing his MVP campaign. On the National League side, Kyle Schwarber, Shohei Ohtani, and Will Smith pace the stat leaders in home runs and OPS. 

With teams jockeying for position and postseason odds constantly shifting, the stretch run promises drama. If any storyline stands out, it's that depth, timing, and roster firepower are shaping this year's World Series chase in unprecedented ways.
