On today's episode we talk to two-time World Series Champion, Dodgers left-handed relief pitcher Justin Wrobleski!

"Wrobo" played a pivotal role in the 2025 World Series, pitching four scoreless innings, including the iconic Game 7 moment when Wrobleski hit Andrés Giménez with a pitch, stoking a benches-clearing melee. Like the bullpen DAWG he is, Wrobleski stood his ground. When he did, he won Richard's heart, and the hearts of Dodgers fans everywhere.

On a team stacked with superstars, we don't hear as much from the younger, lesser known guys. But those guys are just as essential to this golden era of Dodger baseball as Shohei, Freddie, and Mookie. On this special interview episode of DBD, we are proud to present Wrobo's story of resilience, and pull back the curtain on a true bullpen DAWG.
