Padres Manager Mike Shildt Comments on HBPs in Dodgers Series
Padres Manager Mike Shildt Comments on HBPs in Dodgers Series originally appeared on Athlon Sports. This week, the Los Angeles Dodgers and San Diego Padres engaged in a series that got as intense as regular season matchups can go. Tempers flared every step of the way, as the two teams combined for eight hit-by-pitches over the course of the four-game tilt. Advertisement Padres manager Mike Shildt, specifically, involved himself in multiple confrontations between both squads. The first came on Monday, when he chirped from the dugout after Andy Pages had choice words for Dylan Cease, who had just plunked Pages in the arm with a pitch. The second, which took place on Thursday, was the culminating moment of the series. Fernando Tatis Jr. was struck on the hand on an offering from Jack Little in the ninth inning of a 5-0 game, which resulted in the Dodgers' and Padres' dugout benches clearing. Shildt met face-to-face with Dave Roberts, and after engaging in a shouting match that nearly turned physical, both managers were ejected. After the game, Shildt told reporters that he believed the Dodgers' antics had gone too far, offering a three-word response regarding his stance on the issue: "Enough is enough." San Diego Padres manager Mike Shildt (8) warms up players prior to the game against the Los Angeles Dodgers at Dodger Kamin-Oncea-Imagn Images He added that, in his eyes, Tatis Jr.'s late hit-by-pitch served as the hay that broke the camel's back. Advertisement "I'd like to think [it was] not [intentional], but I can't say that. Only a couple people know that, whether it was or it wasn't," Shildt said. "We've got a guy that's getting X-rays right now, that's one of the best players of the game and, of course, on our team. This guy's taken shots." Shildt also directed criticism towards Roberts and the way he coached his players in the other dugout. "Teams that manage don't get into altercations like this because teams that manage don't throw at people," Shildt said. "But also teams that manage don't take anything. And, after a while, I'm not going to take it. I'm not going to take it on behalf of Tatis, I'm not going to take it on behalf of our team, intentional or unintentional." The Dodgers and Padres have played seven of their last 10 games against each other, and they will not meet again until just under two months from now (Aug. 15-17). Those dates will be marked on everyone's baseball calendar, as they await what will happen next in this Southern California rivalry.

Dodgers' Dave Roberts Says Padres' Mike Shildt 'Made it Personal' Amid Fernando Tatis Jr. Drama
Dodgers' Dave Roberts Says Padres' Mike Shildt 'Made it Personal' Amid Fernando Tatis Jr. Drama originally appeared on Athlon Sports. During the Los Angeles Dodgers and San Diego Padres game on Thursday night, there was a benches-clearing altercation between the two teams. It occurred after Fernando Tatis Jr. was hit by a pitch, and it escalated when Padres manager Mike Shildt and Dodgers manager Dave Roberts went at it on the field. Advertisement After the game, Roberts commented on the altercation. He first started by making a point that the Tatis hit-by-pitch was unintentional. Robert's comments were shared by Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic on Twitter/X. "[That was] the last thing I wanted," Roberts said of Tatis getting hit by a pitch. "[I] didn't feel good when it happened." But, while Roberts called the hit-by-pitch unintentional, Shildt, in the moment, didn't think so. He walked onto the field and began yelling at the Dodgers' dugout, and Roberts specifically. That reaction from Shildt sparked Roberts' action to come on the field, which he elaborated on postgame. Advertisement "I felt that he was trying to make it personal with me," Roberts said. "Which then, I take it personal." On the broadcast, Roberts and Shildt can be seen confronting one another behind home plate, with Roberts pushing Shildt away. The altercation will likely be met with fines or other ramifications. But, in the meantime, Roberts and Shildt spoke ill of one another postgame. Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts (30) yells at San Diego Padres manager Mike Shildt (8) after benches cleared in the eighth inning at Dodger Kamin-Oncea-Imagn Images Due to Roberts' feeling as if Shildt was making things personal, he reacted harshly in response. The drama was heightened due to previous incidents of Tatis getting hit by Dodgers pitching, which led Shildt to, in the words of Roberts, "make it personal." Advertisement Both teams will have time to cool off. Before they face each other again. Their next matchup comes in Los Angeles on Friday, August 15th. Just a couple of days later, the Dodgers make the trip to San Diego on August 21st, which is the last time the two teams would face each other in 2025, barring a postseason collision. Roberts' comments indicate he felt things were personal, and while there is plenty of time to cool off, Roberts might not do so. It's two months away, but the next series involving the two teams could be a time for retaliation. Roberts, feeling that Shildt made things personal, will likely have that date marked on his calendar.

Dodgers to Trade for Red Sox Reliever Zach Penrod
Dodgers to Trade for Red Sox Reliever Zach Penrod originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Los Angeles Dodgers have a slew of injuries to their pitching staff. While the starting rotation has taken center stage, the team's bullpen has also been depleted. Advertisement To begin amending this issue, the Dodgers made a trade with the Boston Red Sox. According to Robert Murray of Fansided on Twitter/X, the Dodgers have acquired Zach Penrod from the Red Sox. With Penrod being designated for assignment recently, the return is likely to be just cash for the Red Sox. The Dodgers, meanwhile, add more depth to their bullpen with a lefty with relief experience in the Major Leagues. Penrod, the 28-year-old lefty, has just four innings of Major League experience. But in these four innings, Penrod has a 2.25 ERA, three strikeouts, and a 1.75 WHIP. Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts (30) during the second inning against the San Diego Padres at Dodger Kamin-Oncea-Imagn Images But what's more important is his Minor League statistics. In his Minor League career, Penrod has a 10-6 record with a 4.05 ERA in 102.1 innings. He's struck out 138 batters and has a 1.38 WHIP. Advertisement His MLB stint came in 2024, but he's been a piece in the Red Sox's minor league system since 2023. He was previously a member of the Texas Rangers' minor league system before signing with the Red Sox in 2023. The Dodgers add a Penrod to their current crop of relievers, and while he likely won't play a huge role for the team, his history shows a he's a decent lefty off the mound with some prolific pitches. But, since he's struggled to stay in the Major Leagues, what the Dodgers can get out of him is unknown.
