The Los Angeles Dodgers recently concluded a homestand with a game against the Arizona Diamondbacks, coinciding with Will Smith bobblehead night reflecting the team's 2024 World Series win. The Dodgers have released several bobbleheads this season, celebrating past moments from their championship series. Manager Dave Roberts opted to rest Smith, allowing Dalton Rushing to start instead, citing the need for Smith's well-being as playoffs approach. The bobblehead event enjoys popularity among fans, adding excitement to the game, even as management prioritizes player readiness over sentimental events.
It was more so that I just felt with (Yoshinobu) Yamamoto yesterday, I wanted to have Will catch him. We needed to find a win, and I just felt that the familiarity with those two was there.
Bobblehead nights are often a fun subplot to the game being played and can help break up the long grind of a season.
