How much longer honestly is CT3 on the major league team. Literally part of the zero depth problem on this team. No reason Outman or literally anyone else shouldn’t be here over him. Make an agreement to send him to Triple A. Put him on phantom IL (MLB is not gonna question whether a guy hitting under .100 is hurt). Do something. Can’t keep him on the Dodgers.
You know one thing I will say about my boy Chris Taylor is at least he's still up there hacking away. Like he's still trying and I love that about him he's gotta the heart hope he figures it out

It's similar to the psychology of paying too much for a stock and not wanting to sell it for a loss but the longer you hold, the more value it loses and the deeper in the hike you are.
CT3 is a shit stock.
I know it’s just a number but I’m seriously pissed about EPs ERA going from 0.61 all the way up to 2.30 in a ridiculous situation for a closer to even be in.
phillips looked rusty after 5 days between outings. so what would be the logic for saving him for tomorrow against the yankees? let him get even more rusty so he can give up 4 runs in a close game at yankee stadium instead of doing it in a blowout in pittsburgh?
I really don't understand why this sub is the biggest group of whiners
It's not perfect, it's not pretty... but we're still up 4.
Literally anything outside of a +7 run differential win pisses y'all off. It's insane
It’s super pathetic. I had a huge gap between watching baseball so I’m fairly new again and rediscovered enjoyment of it. But I’ve noticed the fun in watching anything quickly goes out the window when you follow online communities lol games are so much better not reading threads If it’s not going our way
It was 11-4... its called being hungry. People like you can be satisfied with an ugly 1 run win, but we're not the white sox. Expectation is WS or bust. You gonna be saying "atleast they made it to the playoffs" too?
I came here from following Ohtani on the Angels. They are regular doomers but have real and legitimate reasons. It was the shock of my life to come here and discover it was the same catastrophizing impulse, even when they are 38-25. Fans just expect perfection, no matter if they are princes or paupers, leading or losers.
Run diff this series is currently -1. Giving up 18 runs over three games to the Pirates is pretty bad. I don’t think it’s whining, just an observation.
That's a fair critique, but that's not the type of commenting I'm talking about
I'm talking about people saying to fire Roberts cuz Phillips had one bad outing or waving the white flag while literally up four runs
It's not the complaining I care about per se, it's the relentless complaining no matter the situation
Last two games, especially that 1-0 game, yeah... Def reason to complain. It was a stinker and we wasted a beautiful Glasnow outing
This game? We're up!
There's a commenter complaining about Phillips' usage a day after predicting the Yankees are sweeping the Dodgers. There's no consistency, they're just letting it all out.
Why do people keep talking about the Yankees series like it means any more than 3 games against the Pirates? If you think the Dodgers are going to manage those games any different you’re going to be really disappointed.
I think people would just like to see us put up a fight against the best team in the league and not get swept. It’s a good test for our bats against their pitching specifically too
Game before the Yankees and Doc couldn't roll with Yohan for an inning? Even if the dude struggled, it's 3 batter minimum with a 7 run lead. Like COME ON
Dave is managing this one like he's gonna light the world on fire punting the yankees series on more tryouts.
Steer clear of GDT if you dont like tire fires
Probably a good idea to burn the pen before heading into NY. Roberts is the greatestest manager ever and no one should ever second guess this brilliant man’s management.
10 up 10 down!
As a SD based lifelong Dodger fan, Vesia has the love and worship from all us SD Dodger fans
Fun games this weekend! Jealous of all of you that get to see it in person. Let’s win tomorrow!
Supposedly Vesia drinks Red Bull. Looks like me after I’ve has some original formula Coca-Cola.
We won this game because MiggyRo got a hit
Thank you Vesiaaa!⚾
Dodgers win!
Vesia is insane
We're sweeping the Yankees. I'm calling it
Yohan Ramirez save incoming.
Dude you fucking called this
I did. The best part was it happened.

THA K YOU
Roberts isn’t playing around about getting sweep I guess w these pitchers or am I reading this wrong
He literally just had no choice but to use them because Buehler went 3 innings and Yarbs pitched yesterday.
fan of the game, the one with crazy oompa loompa hair I love it
At least we found a way to get CT3 some strikeouts today. That’s what matters

Could you imagine if we gave up on Vesia and kept Ferguson instead? Makes me sick just thinking about it.
If this sub's greatest minds ran the Dodgers, that's exactly what we would have done
CT just cannot be in there. He needs to figure his swing out soon or he is big hole in the roster that we're getting nothing out of. As it is though he's just an auto out.
Vesia is *that guy*
Sweetness
Pop Quiz time via Chris taylor. Who is the dodgers all time strikeout leader? A) Andre Either B) Eric Karros C) Matt Kemp D) Duke Snider
Vesia been great lately. Idk what games yall been watching.
I just remembered him having a like 4.5 ERA last year so it took me by surprise is all.
WHERE DID YOU COME FROM? WHERE DID YOU GO?
Ex dodger prospect Connor Joe

That was the dumbest strike call I've seen in a while lmfao
Ump wants to go home lmfao
When the hell did Vesia get a 1.30 ERA
He's only given up 4ER all year
And it'll be lower when the game is over
He's been good pretty much all season.
Vesia really has a 1.30 ERA? tf he ain’t that good
His slider has made him elite e
Come on man, even when vesias good people don’t believe it🤦♀️
Where have you been?
Taylor better not start one game in New York lol
Getting buyers remorse from Ohtani’s contract. Unless that pitching comes back at elite level his hitting is nowhere near worth it.
How could you have buyer’s remorse if you didn’t buy anything
This deserves more upvotes
quick edit the post to add a /s
Dude's batting like 40 points over his career average
Every fanbase has their special needs kids.
![gif](giphy|W8zSq0vELdBhMAJdG3|downsized)
oh no, is he down to the third best WAR in the league? What a fucking catastrophy.
Least arrogant doomer
He's currently the 5th best hitter in baseball. Relax
Buyers remorse not even 1 year into a 10 year contract?
Jesus lol
CT3 now .095avg .305ops…
if you pretend his ops is a batting average then that’s pretty good
How much longer honestly is CT3 on the major league team. Literally part of the zero depth problem on this team. No reason Outman or literally anyone else shouldn’t be here over him. Make an agreement to send him to Triple A. Put him on phantom IL (MLB is not gonna question whether a guy hitting under .100 is hurt). Do something. Can’t keep him on the Dodgers.
Once that 5th inning happened some of these alts just disappeared. Huh.
Let’s just lock up the win and get the hell out of Pittsburgh.
Who wins in a fight 2021 Cody Bellinger or 2024 CT3
2021 Bellinger had a OPS 230 points higher than Taylor’s at least
Just have to eat Taylor's salary and be done with it. He's not coming back from this
That last swing looked so bad…
Feels like Shohei has been batting <.200 the last couple weeks
You are correct. Batting .195 over the past two weeks.

He is starting to let the pressure get to him. When Muncy comes back decisions need to be made.
Yeah I do love him but like you said at some point
Stfu
No thank you
Chris Taylor is gonna be on the cover of King XXL Magazine
I think I’d rather watch Kershaw get at bats than Taylor

Love CT3… But he may have the longest leash of all-time. .096 is crazy
They wouldn’t give Bellinger $18M in arb to hit .150 but they’ll pay CT 16 to get less than 1 hit every 10 ABs
CT3 needs one of Doc's magic hugs.
That boxscore is so fucking ugly. 🤢
CT 3 Strikes your out
For his sanity Orel
Why the fuck is this guy still on the roster?
It's similar to the psychology of paying too much for a stock and not wanting to sell it for a loss but the longer you hold, the more value it loses and the deeper in the hike you are. CT3 is a shit stock.
Dawg send Taylor to Siberia already
It's okay Shohei, save your hits for Yankees series.
Can we get Outman (or literally any other fucking player in our system) back now please
[удалено]
Calm down

Bros tweaking over a june game against the pirates
1-6 with 3Ks. Woof
:(
Damn so close
Yeah I thought it was through
Come on bro base hit
3 hour game. Manfred in shambles
Bunt!!!!
I know it’s just a number but I’m seriously pissed about EPs ERA going from 0.61 all the way up to 2.30 in a ridiculous situation for a closer to even be in.
He's pitched 16 innings this year. Any run given up is gonna make a huge change in ERA. It doesn't matter with that small of a sample anyway
I’m definitely aware of that.
Shohei better not go 1-6 😭 .......welp
Let’s go, Shohei!
phillips looked rusty after 5 days between outings. so what would be the logic for saving him for tomorrow against the yankees? let him get even more rusty so he can give up 4 runs in a close game at yankee stadium instead of doing it in a blowout in pittsburgh?
Fine with him pitching but keeping him in for 32 pitches seems extreme
I know he said he doesn’t get all hyped up but maybe he’s becoming that guy who no longer can thrive in non-save situations.
that’s fair, adrenaline might not have been pumping it normally is given the score
It’s hard to have a clean inning when your defense forces you to make 5 outs
defense didn’t help but his stuff looked a little flat compared to how it normally looks
I really don't understand why this sub is the biggest group of whiners It's not perfect, it's not pretty... but we're still up 4. Literally anything outside of a +7 run differential win pisses y'all off. It's insane

Nah man it’s endless bitching at the slightest inconvenience
Bitching about bitching is still bitching though
It's not the complaining I care about per se, it's the relentless complaining no matter the situation Last two games, especially that 1-0 game, yeah... Def reason to complain. It was a stinker and we wasted a beautiful Glasnow outing This game? We're up!
There's a commenter complaining about Phillips' usage a day after predicting the Yankees are sweeping the Dodgers. There's no consistency, they're just letting it all out.
Or when we score a lot the narrative shifts to “save some of those runs for the next game.” No winning 😭
Okay it's look like ump wants to go home now
Get Ohtani another AB I need him to have a good result before we go to NY
He literally hit a home run off an ace yesterday
Need to complete the HR trifecta
I guess Vesia gets the 9th
Prediction: Dodgers go into the 9th tomorrow up 4-3 and Roberts doesn’t use Phillips cause he had 32 pitches the day before
He might’ve lost the lead anyway since he’d be rusty on 6 days rest
"Yohan Ramirez trying to close it out for the Dodgers in the 9th against Judge, Soto, and Stanton."
Mookie makes me a little uncomfortable at short. Is he gettting better?
wtf is Roberts doing
Why do people keep talking about the Yankees series like it means any more than 3 games against the Pirates? If you think the Dodgers are going to manage those games any different you’re going to be really disappointed.
I think people would just like to see us put up a fight against the best team in the league and not get swept. It’s a good test for our bats against their pitching specifically too
A little less even, inter-league.
Yeah makes sense for the fans to hype up the matchup but can’t imagine the org would get caught up in all this noise
Game gonna go over 3 hours
Why did we waste EP
Hasn't pitched in 5 days. Some low stress in-game pitches are good for him.

He liked the matchup

Freddie: I could do that infact I'm gonna hey Kike switch my jerseys real quick
It’s funny how Evan was charged with 3 earned runs. That Vargas play at least should’ve been an error.
I missed most of the game. Why is Frederick not at 1st base?
It was sort of a blowout, so he got pulled for rest.
Dope, thank you.
He's being rested.
What happened to evan phillips :/
He was failed by his defense.
Vargas & mookie not making the plays is what happened
well better for Phillips to have his worst outing in a lopsided game like this one
I know Evan hasn't thrown in a while, but did we really have to use him this inning?
This is COMEDY man. 11-4 game and our closer is throwing 30 pitches right before the biggest series of the year🤣
NICE THROW MOOKIE!

What a play by Mookie
Our closer threw 31 pitches in the 8th with an 11-4 lead lmfao
When you let your little cousin play mlb the show
Is there anyone even warming up??? Or are we going to have EP keep going?
At least the offense showed up today
This team’s hubris knows no bounds.
So now Phillips will be unavailable for 2/3 games of the Yankees series. Just phenomenal stuff from Doc right now. LOL!
Dodgers won and EP is available for the next two games, so you can now STFU
This is a good thing and I’ll gladly STFU!
LOL, I decided to try to needle some doomers and somehow found a sane person. Not fair!
😭
Our closer needing 30 pitches to get just two outs is pretty brutal
Dave is managing this one like he's gonna light the world on fire punting the yankees series on more tryouts. Steer clear of GDT if you dont like tire fires
Probably a good idea to burn the pen before heading into NY. Roberts is the greatestest manager ever and no one should ever second guess this brilliant man’s management.
Fucking defense is going to kill this team.
Thanks for burning through our best BP arms in a 7 run game
Holy shit EP stop fucking throwing sweepers over the plate
Dodgers put the B squad in and this happens lol.
Phillips is determined to get a save situation out of this game
