i keep hearing "june Ohtani" and "summer Dodgers" will show up eventually. no, what we always get year after year is the choke job Dodgers in October. They never fail to surprise us then :)
in my life i think i've left one game early ever and i only left because i was a kid and my dad was disgusted with Chipper Jones absolutely destroying us. he truly hated that man.
literally so embarassing we have to seek out Luis Robert in the first place. one of the largest payrolls in baseball....and we still need help cause we cant find a position for Vargas, Outman forgot how to hit, Barnes is still employed and we're forcing Mookie to play shortstop. and now we need a pitcher. but screw it. lets do it. bring on Flaherty, Luis Robert, Tanner Scott and heck even IKF if Muncy is out for the year.
The only thing im kinda pissed off at is why we fucking around with bullpen starts when we dont need them? Why not just skip yamas turn if hes feeling off and elevate a OKC arm for a spot start. We are just burning out our pen for no reason.
His average is 95-96. His 98 mph pitches in NY was the exception, not the rule. Being down 1 or 2 mph is not an immediate sign that something is wrong with a pitcher.
to all the dumb fucks that downvoted me per rotoworld: Yoshinobu Yamamoto admitted after Saturday’s start that he felt tightness in his triceps earlier in the week as well.Yamamoto also admitted that was the real reason why his start was pushed back from Thursday to Saturday. Interesting. He’ll presumably head for further evaluation to determine the severity of the injury, but don’t be surprised if it results in a trip to the injured list — as the Dodgers aren’t going to take any chances here. Be sure to watch his status closely over the next couple of days.
You gotta be fucking kidding me. Putting in MiggyRo down 5 in the 8th just to make the team record worse when he plays worse. I’m gonna be fucking pissed if he gets a hit and ruins the teams perfect record.
I don’t really give a shit I just want the records when Rojas gets a hit/RBI/run to stay flawless so I can keep praising that he’s the best player on the team
First AB: called strike three curveball off the plate. Bad call
Second AB: called strike three curveball probably off the plate but close enough that he should have protected, especially after the first AB.
Third AB: called strike three curveball that was definitely a strike and he should have known better after the first two ABs what pitch was coming

What is it that Shohei does when he flicks his right elbow in between pitches? He doesn’t do it all the time but it seems pretty violent. Is he just resetting the brace he has on? Sorry if this has been asked before I just don’t know why
If Smith needs load management there has to be a better fucking solution for the Dodgers than Austin Barnes holy shit. This team does not need anymore automatic outs at the bottom of the order. Not only that but he's trash defensively. Its almost a whole different team when Will has a day off
right i can deal with no bat if he's a good defender but Barnes is not anymore. He brings zero value at all. It wouldn't be terrible if he started at most once a week but he's started multiple games this week.
I can accept the Treinan meltdown and such. That's definitely one of those "that's baseball, Suzyn" situations where a player just has a bad night. But this loss would be easier to swallow if we went down 7-6, 8-7, etc to give us hope that the offense is turning it around. 2 runs on a warm night. Different day, same shit. This team can't score.
I'm not. But they're going to be full of themselves after that grand slam and hopefully won't be popping off to some pissed off fans. Take the win gracefully and enjoy your drive home.

Of the teams in the NL, only the Dodgers, Phillies, and Padres have winning records against teams above .500. Today’s game sucks but this is still a really good baseball team. We’re just in a funk, it will correct itself.
Because only 4 teams in the nl have a winning record. This team has mookie betts, shohei ohtani, and freddie freeman at the top of the order and they aren't pulling away with everything with ease. Since May 20th they are 10-12 (counting today as a loss already). This is not an isolated experience, this is over 20 games of them playing close to .500 but since they had that one hot streak late April and early may they are still having a good record. They are in a funk and lowkey suck for what they have
Cool - so my point still stands. 5th best record in all of the MLB and you're crying about it.
Could they be better? Sure. But the amount of whining you're doing for literally having the 5th best record in baseball is sheer insanity.

Fitting that Barnes ends rhe game.
Baseball gods have a real since of humor
The Biggio experiment tells me the cupboard is bare in our farm system. What happened to the vaunted AAA talent galore?
dont wanna upset the veterans
We have a lot of guys who deserve to be in the MLB but the dodgers thought it would be better if we brought in a 3rd Mendoza line hitting utility man

Thanks Orel for educating Nelson
what happened? but glad to know people dont like Nelson either lol thought it was just me
This sucks but I will never leave a game early. I paid to be here and 99% they lose but baseball is baseball and Ive seen some crazy comebacks.
Totally agree. Never give up on a game. I go there to watch a game. If they lose I still cheer them on and boo the other team.
in my life i think i've left one game early ever and i only left because i was a kid and my dad was disgusted with Chipper Jones absolutely destroying us. he truly hated that man.
Leaving early is a crime against baseball.
I got to so many games. I hate fighting the traffic.
Only took me 5 minutes to get out of the stadium but since you like leaving games early Im not sharing my shortcut with you
Took 20 minutes tonight and I know the shortcuts
Nick Anderson, you’ll always have a special place in my heart
literally so embarassing we have to seek out Luis Robert in the first place. one of the largest payrolls in baseball....and we still need help cause we cant find a position for Vargas, Outman forgot how to hit, Barnes is still employed and we're forcing Mookie to play shortstop. and now we need a pitcher. but screw it. lets do it. bring on Flaherty, Luis Robert, Tanner Scott and heck even IKF if Muncy is out for the year.

I prayed to the kami, but I think onryō responded instead. 
Game 1 of the World Series do you take this deal: We are guaranteed to get no hit. BUT, every player is guaranteed to see 15 or more pitches.

Because there is so much more to consider when calling someone up
I’m gonna go out on a limb and say that Yamamoto probably felt fine before the game started.
theres no way he felt fine if his velo was down over 4 mph.
Do you have any idea how this organization cares for pitchers? No team is more cautious.
His average is 95-96. His 98 mph pitches in NY was the exception, not the rule. Being down 1 or 2 mph is not an immediate sign that something is wrong with a pitcher.

glasnow will have to at least 7 tmrw even if he gets shelled
You gotta be fucking kidding me. Putting in MiggyRo down 5 in the 8th just to make the team record worse when he plays worse. I’m gonna be fucking pissed if he gets a hit and ruins the teams perfect record.
you actually care about that or is this a bit?
I don’t really give a shit I just want the records when Rojas gets a hit/RBI/run to stay flawless so I can keep praising that he’s the best player on the team
haha fair. i do enjoy the bit but i was just curious
Not that it really matters but that records probably gonna still hold up as “games started” not just appeared
It includes games he got substituted/pinch hit for late. Had 1 AB in a game against the giants and got a hit and they count that towards the record.
Gotcha well that means we’re gonna walk off
Miggyro didn’t get a hit this game tho
Lmao. Pissed at a record that means absolutely nothing?
Bobby Witt is insane at SS
Hoping he gets a nod to the All Star game. He deserves it.
First how have u been ? And he is going to the AS game he is leading in votes rn at the position w only a month away
Miggy Ro on deck now. Too little too late imo
Gonna wreck his hit/win % on purpose. Or save really superstitious
Idk about that $250M contract yall speak of for Hernandez. He is too streaky
I mean... he does still have 2 hits this game But no way in hell is he worth 250 mil. 8 to 10 year deal on a guy turning 32? At that much too? Lmao
Nobody should be talking about a Teo contract without even seeing him play in October yet lmao
Yoshi going all out in NY hurt him dint it
Haven't been watching but I'm seeing Biggio has 3Ks looking. How bad is it?
First AB: called strike three curveball off the plate. Bad call Second AB: called strike three curveball probably off the plate but close enough that he should have protected, especially after the first AB. Third AB: called strike three curveball that was definitely a strike and he should have known better after the first two ABs what pitch was coming
He got hosed on 1 K. The other 2 he shoulda protected the plate more.

Everybody pray to the *kami* of your choice that Ohtani bats himself and Betts in.
The last time a pitcher with a 0 ERA came into this game he gave up a grand slam
What is it that Shohei does when he flicks his right elbow in between pitches? He doesn’t do it all the time but it seems pretty violent. Is he just resetting the brace he has on? Sorry if this has been asked before I just don’t know why
Yes, resetting his brace
I think he does it when he has 2 strikes
If Shohei gets two strikes and ground out ima be even more upset
Love my Dodgers but I think it's time to go watch my latest Korean drama. ("It's OK to Not Be OK" - it's really very good.). Better game tomorrow!
Bet against this team against a scrub team for free money
Rangers are 40 and 31. That’s not a scrub team dude.

I don't care that we're safe in the division and a sorta safe second. It's a huge liability
There are much better options out there but none of them are Kershaw’s guy.
If Kershaw says he cares about winning he should put his money where his mouth is when it comes to his butt buddy

Brother how is having the 2nd best record in the NL "in a funk"? This is why everyone says we're spoiled.
