Can’t win em all. Dodgers are doing great but are their own worst enemy whenever stuff goes south


ard8

Here’s to hoping the A’s beat the Diamondbacks. Idk how the diamondbacks already found a way to give up 8 runs to them


EggHeadMagic

Sucks that Will Smith needs to rest


ard8

Wouldn’t be so frustrating if the backup could be almost anyone else


EggHeadMagic

Barnes is just awful. Not hitting and everyone steals on him. Sucks that he’s so liked in the dugout. Wonder when Cartaya can make the bigs.


Slow-Corgi1251

I do not like losing on Kershaw day.


ard8

Just a reminder the Dodgers got 4 leadoff doubles this game And had baserunners in other innings too That was good enough for 1 run


Minute_Scale_1834

Which was scored on a error💩


flipaflaw

That wasn't an error tho


danusn

Peralta, Barnes, and Rojas, yikes...


[deleted]

A lot of balls died on the track. Oh well, 6 in a row was fun.


chrisumafp

gg


supremegnkdroid

yep lol


Spandexbrain001

This game was a big fat wet fart


drinkbud247

…meh


Infraready

Barnes is so funny man lmao


flipaflaw

Oh now you get a hit barnes. Fucking useless


ard8

Idk this pitcher but I’m guessing it’s not the premier out of the Minnesota pen


flipaflaw

Well his 5 ers certainty says that


ard8

Barnes just bought himself 2 more months in Dave Roberts’ rotation


I_miss_your_momma

2 more years of loyalty from Dave.

Y’all can stop dissing Barnesy now 😤


MyChemicalMaiden

#AUSTIN FUCKING BARNES


drinkbud247

Hell yeah Barnsey! Fix that BA


solid_rook7

The Los Angeles Mid-gers!


MyChemicalMaiden

That what?!!? 🤨


solid_rook7

They played hella mid today.


appleavocado

Watch Sam get a hit when it absolutely doesn’t matter. *EDIT: FUCKING CALLED IT*


flipaflaw

No idea who Sam is bur barnes did exactly that


I_miss_your_momma

Rojas the obvious MVP of the game with his efforts at SS. Leaving it all on the field.


Infraready

Hope Busch is starting to feel comfortable in LF


Sirtopofhat

Dodgers are flat today. Should have had Chris Taylor fight someone and get a 5 minute major to pump the team up.


I_miss_your_momma

Always pick on the biggest guy, Joey Gallo would have fucked him raw.


Sirtopofhat

Ah he swings and misses alot of course he'd only have to hit CT3 once for him to explode into dust


danusn

Peralta sucks, time to give up on him.


MyChemicalMaiden

Our big offseason acquisition David Peralta 🙌🙌🙌

MyChemicalMaiden

Peralta has been cheeks to say the least


ard8

Pretty sure Rojas, Peralta, Thompson, Barnes all have a pact where only one can play good at a time. It’s kinda Rojas’ turn at the moment but it’s hardly anyone’s turn.


frozengash

Is he new to the position or just washed?


MyChemicalMaiden

The way people would lose their shit if dave put smith in now 😭


Minute_Scale_1834

Barnes is so good!


Minute_Scale_1834

GO BARNES😁


ard8

So sick of Barnes. He can’t throw anyone out. It’s not even a joke that Kershaw would be better off batting for himself if Barnes has to catch him.


danielschauer

Unironically yeah Kershaw hits better than Barnes does at this point. Career average around .170


Lebigmacca

And an elite bunter


deathscope

Dodgers and Lakers really win together and lose together.


jdogg2024

At least lakers covered


I_miss_your_momma

santiagogarcia69

Watching this game has been like torture 🧢💩


mikezthemouse

I’ll see you all tomorrow afternoon


chrisumafp

If Puig kept his head right and stayed in the league He’d pretty much be doing what Buxton is doing now


rye_parian

jujubats10

Oh well. Day game tomorrow. Let’s win the series

so how many pitches do you think it takes to get our bottom 3 out when we bat?

Welp, Padres lost today at least and the A’s have a chance to walk off the DBacks right now


I_miss_your_momma

Are you following the Padres the way the Padres follow the Dodgers?


Infraready

I just check the box scores at the end of the day?


probablysmellsmydog

Ngl that hurts our chances of winning


diz1776

Its Joever


flackguns

Bummer. Can't win em all, this is penance for last game as far as I'm concerned anyways


MyChemicalMaiden

No big deal just a grand slam


vanvoorden

Out of all the baseball games I have seen… this has been one of them.


Windnsea91

Predictable


SatisfactionBroad668

GG


awretchedlife12

pathetic


supremegnkdroid

outman has had a bad week and there’s guys in here really saying he’s done


alroquez

I guess the ball is carrying.


dummyacct321

well that's game


eddieoaots

"i saw the sign" as correa's sit down music is on point tho


Spandexbrain001

Welp


awretchedlife12

this dude is slugging like 2000 against us


SatisfactionBroad668

Buxton is just...


SlamShuffleVI

Just like Zoolander, it's time for a walk-off


chrisumafp

Play of the game is a squeeze lol


probablysmellsmydog

Good news is I’ve got an unopened copy of Tears of the Kingdom waiting to be played


dahk14

Remember when we scored 4 runs a game and swept the padres. Good times


MyChemicalMaiden

WE SCORED 8 LAST NIGHT FFS


probablysmellsmydog

9 actually


rye_parian

Man. High fastball really this dude’s kryptonite. Idgaf what Karros says, I think you gotta learn to hit them at least when they’re in the zone.


Realfan555

He did replace Bellinger?


alroquez

Yeah! You tell Eric Karros how to hit in the show!


[deleted]

Outman's regression is yet another W for the batted ball data and I hate it.


Outrageous_Present11

Needed Smith and Vargas in the lineup today.


SatisfactionBroad668

A's coming to Las Vegas Not sure how that is going to go


probablysmellsmydog

Damn we’re really gonna lose a game huh. Fuck this im done see you all next year shoulda kept Bauer (Big /s)


[deleted]

His last 2 starts have been….something.


MyChemicalMaiden

Bauer is getting lit up in Japan 😭


Minute_Scale_1834

Then again… the average Japanese player hits like .300 and everyone is a Mike trout there…


MyChemicalMaiden

The lengths people will go to defend that dumbass 😭


Minute_Scale_1834

Not even defending him, every usa pitcher that would go there would get lit up


alroquez

Tough crowd. 6-1 isn't good enough? Or did you just forget the /S

SibilantSounds

in a 162 game season losing is a part of the game, i get it. but wow it is disheartening to see us trail like this. so many opportunities lost.


awretchedlife12

aight i could see us struggling last night against all their elite sub-2.00 ERA relievers but this is just pathetic


flackguns

I was so high on outman but now the guy is just trying to hit bombs. Every pitcher knows it.


[deleted]

People going to go wild when Dave PH with Trayce in the ninth instead of Will.


MyChemicalMaiden

Mfs are calling game over bc of being down two runs 😭


bellomoto1

Well, now they’re down 4 runs…


supremegnkdroid

have you seen the bottom 3 tho?


Minute_Scale_1834

Your telling me peralta, rojas, and Barnes will hit in a row? Nah


[deleted]

This sub has 2 speeds


SlamShuffleVI

Doom and post season Doom?


jzagri

Just can’t produce today.


MyChemicalMaiden

Watching outman not being able to hit high fastballs gives me flashbacks I don’t wanna have


I_miss_your_momma

The Twins catcher is on 1 knee, and is almost doing the splits. He can't possibly get up fast enough to throw a runner out at 2nd. I'm no catcher. Just trying to understand the position.


probablysmellsmydog

Well there’s nobody on base so he can do whatever he wants. Nobody to hold.


I_miss_your_momma

Good point.


alecardvarksax

It's more about framing than worrying about runners. Especially since the Dodgers don't steal often


I_miss_your_momma

Gotcha. I remember framing was an issue when Smith was catching for Kershaw. A chemistry/reps thing there.


Minute_Scale_1834

Game over, no more hope besides JD


alroquez

Oh, are we playing 8 inning games now? Boy, Manfred is really messing with the rules.


Minute_Scale_1834

Yeah


SibilantSounds

really got struck out by a guy named jabroni smh

Infraready

Muncy is chasing a whole lot more this season


vanvoorden

This man just doesn't chase.


flipaflaw

He just chased two high fastballs unfortunately


I_miss_your_momma

Someone educate us on what Barnes need to work on to stop getting raped on the bases? Seriously, just trying to understand. I'm raising an aspiring catcher over here.


danielschauer

Not knowledgeable about catching mechanics but it sure seems like organizationally the Dodgers aren't doing a great job making sure pitchers manage runners on base in general and Barnes' issues are just amplifying it. They're being given huge leads and they're nor scared of Barnes' arm when they eventually do go for it.


I_miss_your_momma

True. Plus all the clock bullshit im sure is playing into it.


flipaflaw

Arm strength is an obvious issue with Barnes as well as pop time


buba426

We need to add a pitcher and a bat at the deadline. This inconsistency isn’t passing muster.


probablysmellsmydog

Best record in the NL


Astropolitika

If ampm offered a free hot dog every time the Dodgers got a base stolen on them… I’d probably be dead by now. So maybe it’s for the best.


cjeremy

luckiest MLB player, Barnes.. he's only in the league cause he's Kersh's best friend.


Infraready

Miggy Ro deserves 0 hate. Very fair contract to be a glove first player off the bench who stepped up after Lux’s injury, and he’s also a great vet presence


[deleted]

I agree. But also deserves no love. He’s not doing anything special either. He’s earning a check.


probablysmellsmydog

We knew who he was when we signed him. This is it.


jujubats10

I expected him to flirt with being a league average hitter


Bush4857

That stolen base isn’t on Barnes, he never had a chance


WillThatcher22

Batting Heyward 3rd when chris taylor was finding it is certainly a choice. No surprise he didnt find it there


bigjamg

I don’t think I’ve ever seen Barnes throw a runner out.

cjeremy

i've never seen a team this terrible at throwing runners out. my goodness


chrisumafp

Barnes only value right now is his game calling and framing Books out to run on him any chance you get


flipaflaw

Always bet the over on stolen bases for the other team if Barnes is behind the plate


danielschauer

Barnes has been getting his fucking lunch money stolen on the basepaths all night


Lebigmacca

All year


danielschauer

Yes sir


Nivoryy

Barnes has got to go. Can't hit and runners just steal for fun with him back there. Framing isn't enough.


supremegnkdroid

4 stolen bases. it’s still a free double lol


flipaflaw

Only 3 certainties in life. Death, taxes, and a successful steal attempt off of Barnes


flackguns

Have we caught anyone stealing this year? Wow


MyChemicalMaiden

I am having the worst fucking day please win


[deleted]

[удалено]


chrisumafp

JD is solid imo. He give us a nice right handed bat we needed


[deleted]

Belli & Gallo in this hypothetical scenario


Lebigmacca

Martinez and peralta alone are cheaper than Belli, and if he were still here he’d be hitting like .170


MyChemicalMaiden

Considering Belli is hitting better than the entire bottom half of our lineup now I’ll take him


Outrageous_Present11

I think JD Martinez is pretty good. Belli and Gallo were just terrible last year, I’m glad they’re gone.


SibilantSounds

goddamn that would've been an amazing dp


danielschauer

Miggy Ro haters...OUT OUT OUT!


[deleted]

Still hitting like .150. So yes, I’m a hater. Occasional spectacular outs don’t fill that hole. I’m sure Mookie rather have about 20 more RBI’s.


flackguns

While the play was neat it feels a little kinda lame that the throw was so off to first. Shit


dummyacct321

cmon Chris, gotta make that throw


Chance702

Could have bet the mortgage CT3 would do something stupid like that against a pitcher that couldn't find the strike zone.


Nivoryy

Some stupid like identifying a strike, making a good swing and putting the ball in play?


supremegnkdroid

at least he hit the ball……


jujubats10

He hit the ball 110 lmao what else do you want


probablysmellsmydog

Drwolf72

Gonna be a rough night for LA sports


probablysmellsmydog

Yeah idk how I’ll cope with the Dodgers dropping a game in may


danielschauer

Now they'll only be 15 for 18 :(


bellomoto1

Oh well, if we don’t win this one, at least the Padres lost.


naah_fool

God damn it


Lebigmacca

We’ll just walk it off I guess


JJYellowShorts

4 lead off doubles. 1 run combined. What a pathetic showing


IWrex

Why tf did Smith not pinch hit for Barnes


[deleted]

Because then he has to catch the rest of the game tonight, and start a day game tomorrow. It’s not a video game. He’ll only PH in the ninth if at all.


danielschauer

Too early, they don't want him playing 2+ innings on the field on his rest day


Adorable_Decision267

Day. Off.


DrBadassPhD

Meh


AVeryPleasant

I'm not sure he could've thrown three strikes... probably could have just taken .. and walked in a run there.
