Meet Scooby Doo Pa-Pa: Another Miggy Original

There are players who show up at the ballpark to play baseball, and then there is Miguel Rojas.

For years, Rojas has been one of those players whose value to the Dodgers goes well beyond what appears in the box score. He plays wherever Dave Roberts needs him, knows the game as well as anyone in the clubhouse and, perhaps most importantly, has a knack for making teammates feel at home.

We wrote about that back in February in “From Ribbing Snell to Saving Game 7: Why Miguel Rojas Still Matters in 2026.” Seven months later, Rojas keeps finding new evidence to support the argument.

Remember “Báilalo Rocky”?

That was Miggy, too.

Rojas introduced Roki Sasaki to the song during spring training, encouraged him to use it as his entrance music and helped turn it into part of the Sasaki experience. It wasn't just a song anymore. It became another way for a young pitcher to feel like he belonged.

Now Rojas has done it again.

Only this time, the target is Tarik Skubal.

The Dodgers' newest ace has been christened “Scooby Doo Pa-Pa,” or simply “Eskoob,” thanks to Rojas' habit of turning teammates' names into clubhouse entertainment.

The nickname apparently came to Rojas while the team was traveling on a bus. Skubal's name sounded enough like Scooby to make the connection, and Rojas took it from there.

The Dodgers have taken it even further.

Every time Skubal strikes somebody out at Dodger Stadium, “Scooby Doo Pa-Pa” gets played.

And Skubal?

He loves it.

“I think it's great,” Skubal said. “I think it's funny, you know, lighthearted.”

He even said his sons were dancing to the song before his latest start.

That is Miguel Rojas.

He doesn't just join a clubhouse.

He helps create one.

And maybe that is why the idea that 2026 is definitely his final season as a player is beginning to lose some traction.

Rojas is having a good year. His teammates love having him around. He is still contributing on the field, still moving around the infield and still doing all the little things that don't necessarily show up in the standings but matter over a 162-game season.

He has talked about life after baseball and the possibility of moving into coaching or player development.

But lately, retirement sounds a little less certain.

Maybe that's because Miguel Rojas still looks like a guy who has something left to give.

And if he does come back for another season, nobody should be surprised.

After all, Roki got a song. Skubal got Scooby Doo Pa-Pa.

Who knows what Miggy has planned next?

Just don't be surprised if there's music involved.
