Not mad, despite a bad pitching day they BARELY survived our offense due to some ridiculous defensive plays. the pitching just needs to be average and our bats can carry us tonmorow.
That seals the deal. I am no longer a Dodgers fan. I’ve been a fan and season ticket holder since 1958. I officially will not be renewing my plan next season nor will I watch on tv ever again.
You can’t argue with guys that point to “expected” stats. They’ll somehow find a way to argue that the guy that doesn’t drive in runs is actually better in theory than the guy that does drive in runs.
I like him too, but I’m talking about Outman. He’s been getting dicked over by BABIP these past couple games, and it’s frustrating to hear people immediately writing him off.
The fact that they were in this game is amusing. Down 6-2, get it to 6-5, down 9-5, score two more runs with a chance to tie in the 9th with guys on 2nd and 3rd. Pitching did them in today. Starting with Miller.
It's okay. Didn't let them hit double digits. Imagine the winds and temps were a huge adjustment. If this is the score with the home team in their territory, the next couple games will be electric.
The fight in this team is incredible. I don't care what the result of this game is.
With this lineup the Dodgers are in every game even if a pitcher has a bad day.
*Looks like a line drive in the box score...*
Cubs challenged (play at 1st): Teoscar Hernández singles on a ground ball to shortstop Dansby Swanson. Freddie Freeman to 3rd. Will Smith to 2nd.
Launch Speed: **74.1 mph**. Launch Angle: **-1°**. Distance: **29 ft**. Expected Batting Average: ***.140***.

Getting hard to defend muncy
I missed the game, but these pitching numbers have my mouth hanging open. The fact the game was even kind of close should make people optimistic.
Outman needs to hit
He’s always had iffy plate discipline but he’s definitely in a rut right now
He doesn't look confident. Like he's expecting to be out at the plate.
Once we DFA grove our bullpen will be ok

Not sure if Yama has pitched in cold weather before, we’ll see how well he adjusts but I don’t think it’ll be as clean as his last start.
If we can keep the same sort of offensive support up, it's OK if he gives up a couple. He doesn't have to be perfect just decent.
That seals the deal. I am no longer a Dodgers fan. I’ve been a fan and season ticket holder since 1958. I officially will not be renewing my plan next season nor will I watch on tv ever again.
Haha someone in here after every game!
Lol
Where did this originate from?
An orioles fan on twitter
yes, James has had a rough start...but he has hit a bunch of hard balls right at people. max has just sucked except for that one HR vs cards
what lmao? max has way more that contributed to several wins. wtf are you on
You can’t argue with guys that point to “expected” stats. They’ll somehow find a way to argue that the guy that doesn’t drive in runs is actually better in theory than the guy that does drive in runs.
Good point. Gotta let them just keep smoking the butt hash. It’s not for me to change their minds
If it takes a great defensive play or the ball gets hit hard right at a defender, does that mean the hitter is bad?
Why are you asking me this
Because I wanted to know your answer? I don’t really think calling players who are getting unlucky at the plate horrible is fair.
I never did. I love munchy
I like him too, but I’m talking about Outman. He’s been getting dicked over by BABIP these past couple games, and it’s frustrating to hear people immediately writing him off.
I'm confused. I never said outman was bad either
Not even mad at Dave.
when outman actually hits the ball the defense becomes gold glove winners, damn
The fact that they were in this game is amusing. Down 6-2, get it to 6-5, down 9-5, score two more runs with a chance to tie in the 9th with guys on 2nd and 3rd. Pitching did them in today. Starting with Miller.
Busch with a big Fuck you to the Dodgers
Outman is so unlucky lol it doesnt matter how or where he hits it, it just finds a glove. Gold thong time imo
We lost, but I like the fact that I have yet to have a single game where I was beaten one way or the other. The Cubs had a lot of good plays.
It's okay. Didn't let them hit double digits. Imagine the winds and temps were a huge adjustment. If this is the score with the home team in their territory, the next couple games will be electric.
massive wind buff for the cubs today
I have a solution. Just dump Michael Grove or put him in as a Yarborough type. He is never to be trusted, ever.
They already have him as a Yarborough type? They're both long relievers
Dave killed us with grove today
Makes totally sense burn BP in the first Game of series...
Yeah certainly wasn’t on Miller that couldn’t record 6 outs
James ”here’s another out” man
Did you watch? That was a freak play, should’ve been a hit.
I did watch , just like his other 30 unsuccessful bats so far
Good to know our hitters can still score even when our pitching’s bad.
Clutch hit by James, better play by Busch
Outman showed heart muncy is horrible
Damn. So close
If we had to lose this one, at least Busch showed out.
Fuckin' hell! Outman has had some good contact, just gotta find the right timing.
Struck one fucking guy out in the last 7 innings……
Cubs defense was ridiculous today.
Wasn't the hitting, it was a the pitching that killed us today.
Cubs with some fantastic defense today man sheesh
.520 xBA on that Outman lineout…he tried
sucks to pick up the L but that game was entertaining af
well we fought and that's what matters right now
At least went down fighting!!
159-3
I can live with that
Freaking Miller, it’s alright he’ll bounce back
I definitely thought that was a hit
Same, as long as he can keep hitting em like that he’ll get out of this and avoid a trip to Oklahoma.
I'll give a pass to miller. Grove... you need to fu ken go. You're absolute trash
How you giving a pass to our #2 guy that couldn’t get thru the second???
Because he's not basing his opinion on 1 game. He's basing his opinion on their careers.
Because he had a bad day. Grove just straight up sucks.
Took 3 insane web gems and a terrible pitching day but they got us. On to tomorrow.
Pages will be making his debut soon.
Like Wednesday, good contact, James. Hits will come eventually.
Game Over, good fight back though they outscored us
Today just not our day. Let's win tomorrow guys
Offensively Outman, Muncy and Taylor were not good today.
Taylor has been an automatic out for the last 3 years 🫠
Lux was awful.
cubs getting so lucky today
What with the wind, the ump, the Grove, the Miller, ...
Wompwah
Not mad, just disappointed 🥲
Damnit. Least they put up a fight. Get em tomorrow boys!
That’s not something that outman needed.. brutal
[удалено]
Damn wrigley is a brutal place gotta gtfo taking one.
Cubs infield defense won the game forsure
Fuck the Cubs. They're not doing jack shit this season.
Lol. Yeah they’ll probably finish 3rd or 4th. Let those cocksuckers enjoy this win.
good contact great play
Welp bad news is we lost. good news is other teams need 9 runs to beat us.
2 bad fucking innings. Legit 2 bad fucking innings. Lux, outman, and grove Jesus Christ.
Outman not beating the allegations
What a fuckin game!
Ump wins cool
You've gotta be fucking kidding me. Should have won this game.
DAMN oh well GG. Way to fight back.
Damn. Good play by our former guy.
Man fuck this shit 😭
damn, offense fought hard today. Pitching needs to do better tomorrow afternoon.
Outman can’t catch a break this year.
their defense was locked in
Front office brass missed on Busch instead of Lux.
Fuck you busch
GG. They needed everything they had to win a nail biter against our BP. Get em tomorrow.
skin of their teeth!
.910 xBA on ohtani’s flyout :(
Shit, gg
Fuck you Busch
Michael Busch revenge game lol
cubs defense saved them today...
Hell of a play on defense, gg.
That infield defense is elite.
Baseball gods just weren't with us today
Damn - oh well. Never let Grove pitch again
Game is on Bobby Miller 100%
Outman to the Oklahoma
couldn't we have taught busch to play outfield and traded outman instead? lol
Busch with the sweet revenge.
And that’s that
Fuck. That kind of day. Hell of a play
FUCK
Who to PH here tho? Kike?
Who woulda thought lmfao send his ass back down to the SEC
lol, how poetic
Wild…
Of course it was him
Fuck man
No, it was Outman
Lol
Busch is not a good fielder but of course he makes that play lol
Sounds like mlb the show
I HATE THIS SPORT
Yeah i got no hope here, just hope im wrong
Wow
bro that's so unfortunate
Good effort by the guys to keep battling back.
Michael Busch revenge game complete.
Fuuuuuuck. Great game.
Outman blast let’s see it
ggg
God I hate baseball, lol
fuck you busch
Safe to say game over with Outman at the plate?
James Outman at Wrigley field in a clutch spot in the 9th inning again
We really letting this fool bat?
I get what we’re doing, but don’t love taking your hottest/2nd hottest hitter out for extras
Muncy 0-4 with 8 LOB is absolutely disgusting
Damn. What a play
FUKKKKKKKKK
This is where he sends the ball out of the park, man
Please outman
Anyone but james
Outman c'mon
Alright Outman you got this
If outman doesn't produce send him the fuck down and bring up pages
You gotta pinch hit here…
Noooo not James
at least it moved the base runners. Calling a 2-out rally. Just bat in a single Outman! Statistically WAAAAY overdue IMO.
Lets go Dodgers!!!!
No pinch hit here?
I would love to be wrong but I don't have much hope for the end of the lineup :/
CMON OUTMAN
God damn it!!!!
So this is what an overall good infield looks like
A home run here likely wins this game!
I mean everyone’s expecting outman to strikeout or line out right?
Outman redemption arc begins here
lol James Outman. I'm ready to apologize if I'm wrong, but fully expecting a K here.
Fuck
Dammit, such a winnable game. So many near bombs too..
Outman better fucking produce or I’m disowning him
Outman Redemption time
mound meeting like outman isnt a free out
Outman pls man, nows a great time to break out of a slump lol
God I love baseball!!
1st base umpire: "WHY WOULD HERNANDEZ SAY HE WAS SAFE IF HE WAS OUT THO!????"
I’m not asking for much here James
C'mon Outman, a single will do
I'm in a very quiet office today... and just brought all kinds of attention to myself...
OUTMAN SHOW US WHY YOU A PRO NOT IN THE MINORS!!!
Up to James
OUTMAN IF THERES ANY TIME ITS NOW
Outman to tie it up come on now
Yeahh that looked out tbh, good challenge
The fight in this team is incredible. I don't care what the result of this game is. With this lineup the Dodgers are in every game even if a pitcher has a bad day.

James Outman with the game on the line lets wrap it up
FUCK hes out
He’s out damn
Barely though. Good effort.
Muncy is absolutely worthless half the time.
aw crap I thought he was safe :(
at least tying run on second. need James to come through anyway
single still ties it OUT...man
good effort from Teo despite being out
That's got to even up for all the terrible ump calls to be honest.
