On Friday, Natalie Loureda took to her Instagram story to share her honest reaction to Bobby Miller’s brutal head hit. Loreda shared a screenshot of Miller’s X post in which he thanked fans for their concerns, attached with her reaction in which the social media influencer said:
“my gladiator.”

On Thursday, Bobby Miller took to his X account to pen down an emotional note for fans, thanking them for their support and concerns. Thanking “everyone who has reached out” to the Dodgers pitcher to share their concerns, Miller said:
“Thank you to everyone who has reached out. Really means a lot. Scary moment I’m good! All praise to the man above, can’t wait to get back on the mount.”
Apart from Natalie Loreda, the Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts spoke to the media on Thursday to share his take on Bobby Miller’s brutal head hit. Sharing his candid reaction, Roberts said:
"It squared him up pretty good. It was kind of the front side of the head, and you can just see the distance that it traveled once it hit. So there was some deflection, but it hit him pretty flush."

"I think he’s going to regroup, lay low and get his wits about him, and make sure he’s OK. After that, Lord willing, he's fine, then I think we’ll have the conversation, because … he’s going to want to get back out there," Roberts further added.
Talking about the Spring Training Day 1, Roki Sasaki faced Major League hitters for the first time. In an interview later, Sasaki revealed being “not really nervous” facing the star players. Mets president David Stearns previously revealed that he sees the Dodgers as “great competition” ahead of the 2025 MLB season.
