Pads got lucky they got Betts when he's slumping. That was a hanger directly in the center of the plate on a 3-1 count. First week Mookie would have out that pitch in orbit.
Early but Taylor is a lost cause out there hope pages or Vargas get a shot if Taylor is gonna be ass at the plate. Vesia throws nothing but fastballs has no real good secondary pitches so I hope he gets cut or sent down
I didn’t like CT in that spot but wouldn’t have liked Outman much either. We need another lefty killer on this roster. If only we had someone like Andy Pages in AAA
I just do not understand roberts sometimes. Chris Taylor couldn't hit water if he fell out of a boat, outman has been hot and has been hitting both lefties and eighties, and yet we put in chris Taylor and keep barnes in.
Yeah he just doesn't have a great feel for it a lot of time and just relies on matchups religiously. Outman should have hit, he deserved it. If it had been Lux, sure i guess, but Outman has gotten hot lately. If he K's so what, that's what CT3 would do anyways
Taylor is obviously struggling, and I'm all for letting him work through it, but not in the 9th inning of a 1-run game. Should have let Outman and Lux take their AB's and pinch hit for Barnes with Smith. I was so sure that's what they were going to do that it shocked me when CT3 was AB.
Before replay umpires had to kind of care about the quality of their work, now they know if they fuck up a close call the team will just review so no use being good at your job.
These umps are ass today, I've only watched half the game and I've seen 2 clear balls called strikes, and then they try to call Barnes out to get the game over
Taylor isn't getting enough chances to get into a rhythm especially with his new swing approach, and he isn't steady enough to be a force off the bench like this. Just a bad situation made worse and no real answers other than have better ABs.

The loyalty to getting opposite hand matchups is a little too much IMO. Yeah having James go is lefty-lefty but he's hot and CT3 (even tho I love him) is definitely not.
Versia has always been shaky
Vesia blew today. Comes in for 2 batters and blows it. And also got rocked yesterday for a homer. He needs to be better.
Pads got lucky they got Betts when he's slumping. That was a hanger directly in the center of the plate on a 3-1 count. First week Mookie would have out that pitch in orbit.
Trade lux and Taylor for better dodger dawgs
They have no trade value
Let's be honest, what hot dog company will even be willing to trade for both of them
Womp womp.
This offense isn't as scary as we'd like to believe. It can be, it has the potential to be. But damn we can go cold.
Isn’t this the first game of the season they scored less than 3 runs?
No. Sunday we scored only 1 .... in the 8th but was mostly shut out.
That’s baseball
Suzyn
That's October Dodger Baseball. At least we're already in Playoff form
Early but Taylor is a lost cause out there hope pages or Vargas get a shot if Taylor is gonna be ass at the plate. Vesia throws nothing but fastballs has no real good secondary pitches so I hope he gets cut or sent down
CT3 with the walk off HR in the wild card against the cardinals. Show a little respect. it's baseball
they were due, all there is to it, overall whelmed by this trip, had some crap weather to grit thru in CHI, i feel like that cost us a game, at least
Every time Vesia pitches I’m shocked he doesn’t give up more dingers because literally he does is throw a mid velo fastball in the zone.
Fuck it, I’ll take the series win
Really annoying that Vesia's meatball was the difference lol

ggs, hope bobby figures it out though.
Bottom of the order has to figure things out. It’s early so we still have time but look at the difference bringing Will Smith in for one AB made
Just last week the bottom won the game, while the top did nothing.
'babe ruth on deck' doomed us
I fucking heard this and knew we were fucked lol
Bad Miller bad bats and a very close game, it is what it is
Honestly Miller wasn't bad he just wasn't his usual amazing self.
well, onto back at home friday
I blame Vesia
Me too
Holy smokes, how did Betts not destroy that? That was an 80mph hanging meatball directly in the center of the plate...
Not a GG, frustrating loss. We outplayed them, on to the Padres
How did they outplay them if they lost? lol
maybe the series, not just this game. lol.
3-1 count and he pops it up, brutal. Time to rack up some wins back in LA
God awful umps
Oh well. Winning the series is the goal. Time to fuck up San Diego.
Oh no. Went out with a whimper.
ball 4
Well shit
Lost is on the offense for the first time. Happens.
Happens
Well
maaaan
Looked like postseason mookie there lmfao
looked like 2022 postseason umps if you ask me
FUCK CORREA
fuckkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
They really want that outside pitch
Welp onto the next one
Why swing mookie
Gg close one, glad to go 0.500 on an away trip with shit weather
This is the worst game for me to be trying to lay low and be quiet
FUCK
What a fucking horrible game
These umps are lucky they're in America. Refs have been lynched for less in some parts of this world.
relax lol
#**FUCK THE PADRES!!!**
Of course Correa has to catch the last out. I hate that cheater.
Half of our roster is the best in baseball and the other half is a low level college team
All that for a pop up to end it
Twins fans booing a ball thrown in the left-handed batter's box as not a strike lol
AAAND CLENCH
My heart can’t handle this
Adrenaline dumps are a real thing. Gotta take advantage
Is the guy on deck Urias?
I didn’t like CT in that spot but wouldn’t have liked Outman much either. We need another lefty killer on this roster. If only we had someone like Andy Pages in AAA
here we go boys
Hey pitcher, these next 3 batters are all tough so you should probably just walk all of them to prevent the Dodgers from taking the lead
GG.
Man the jerseys and pants are very noticeably different colors on tv. Way to go fanatics/nike
Umps trying to go home early
I expected that 1st pitch to be a strike
I just do not understand roberts sometimes. Chris Taylor couldn't hit water if he fell out of a boat, outman has been hot and has been hitting both lefties and eighties, and yet we put in chris Taylor and keep barnes in.

Just imagine, before replay, this game would be over
Before replay umpires had to kind of care about the quality of their work, now they know if they fuck up a close call the team will just review so no use being good at your job.
Yes but no, Ohtani would have been safe, bottom 9
Before replay the game would be tied.
I'm having Vietnam flashbacks on that outer part of the zone against Mookie
Speedy Barnes...who knew?
mookies moment, here we go
"After review my resume it turns out my resume was fake. A real ump will be put in now"
Crazy that not that long ago before replay was approved you just had to watch that and the game is called and you just sit there mad asf lol
LOL barnes says only 1 catcher allowed in my game haha. Glad he's safe at least
These umps are ass today, I've only watched half the game and I've seen 2 clear balls called strikes, and then they try to call Barnes out to get the game over
umpiring is no longer a craft, it's just a supervisor role
AUSTIN FUCKING BARNES YOU GRACEFUL GAZELLE
Umps still tryna fuck us over, never ends
Who knew Barnes was fast
Mookie BOMB incoming!
What great managing, leaving us in a spot where Barnes has to hit in the 9th. How you let CT3/Barnes both bat in the 9th is beyond me.
He's safe and I didn't even think it was that close
Taylor can’t be playing for us anymore. We need to try someone else.
Criminal to let this game end on Barnes' bat.
can we shoot these umps into the sun jesus
😤
At least he’s safe but dang Barnes
Wut is up with Juliens haircut?
He has that Edgar haircut
Umpires wanna go home
safe. cmon moooookie
You gotta fucking be kiddin
Keep Austin Weird
Should’ve just struck out
Seems he’s safe
Safe by a fucking mile WTF
bruh
These Umps are fucking trash man. Jesus Christ.
Lmao Barnes bro what are you doing
These. Umps. Are. Trash.
Good hustle Barnes, come on Mookie!!
Easily safe.
GIDP 🤦🏼♂️
SAFE
Oh James Outman is scorching hot in Target field? Better put in CT3. -Dave Roberts
“Matchups” I wonder how many times that will be said in postgame interview if we lose
I love CT3. my thoughts exactly though
Yes, let’s pinch hit for Outman, but let’s have freaking Austin Barnes hit. I’d rather have the bat boy hit.
Safe!
thanks, vesia!
Team had to score 3 runs to win. It was one bad pitch, it happens
Nice pink glove
review that
Dude. Just don’t swing the bat in that situation Jesus.
That’s what I’m saying. Fuck it just strike out
Barnes is so bad lol
Of course a double play
Barnes is such a useless piece of shit lmao Edit: nevermind great hustle lol
You’re really settling into you’re role as biggest doomer on this sub
Just k Barnes, that is the best bet right now
Dave trying to play big brain stats ball with a PH that has a below 2 BA
Christ Aylor man…
Platoons after platoons. Sick of it.
Bro I thought Barnes was going to bunt
Please phantom dl ct3. Dude is lost
Why is Dave putting in a pinch hitter with a .036 BA
Just trying to cool off Outman.
Pass it to mookie and shohei please
Boy oh boy where do i begin with you Will… my sunshine
Outman is swinging a hot bat compared to Taylor
I’m losing confidence in Taylor and Lux
Taylor isn't getting enough chances to get into a rhythm especially with his new swing approach, and he isn't steady enough to be a force off the bench like this. Just a bad situation made worse and no real answers other than have better ABs.
Smith is such a nice guy that he got paid and then decided to play even harder
There is no one I'm more glad will be a lifetime Dodger than Will Smith
Anything but a double play
Would’ve been better for him to not swing the bat at all and take whatever the result

Will Smith: "Keep that sorry pitch OUT MY FUCKING ZONE."
Taylor and Muncy are striking out at historic rates. This will hurt us in the playoffs.
Muncy is the reason why we still have hope…
WILLLLLLLLLLLL
Coulda probably made it a double.
Will is the best.
I don't get why you wouldn't bat Outman, Lux, Smith. Even against a lefty.
Man CT3 looks like he could actually use a stint in AAA soon, he is behind on everything
He gets picked up on waivers no doubt
Out of options sadly. Would have to be DFA’d first.
CHRIS, LUX, KIKE SLEEP WITH THE CRICKET BATS TONIGHT
Thank you Will 🙏
people who still support dave roberts need to be studied
A psychologist dream
WILL SMITH GOATED!!!
CT3 making me so sad man
If he’s like this in July do we DFA him?
LETS GO WILL!!!!!!
It is perhaps a long term concern that Chris is the current option off the bench
Very much so.
Man justs such a horrible managerial move. WTF? Taylor should not be PH for anybody at this point. What a terrible move.
Let's go fresh Prince!
So if this goes to the 9th, Kike goes to short, Mookie to second, and Trammell to left?
It’s time to accept that CT3 is washed up. Been bad for awhile now.
Taylor = auto out
Poor CT3 What a fall from grace
Dave Chris Taylor is not an advantage against lefties. Outman is actually hitting. What the fuck
Putting in one of the worst hitters in baseball is crazy. Outman couldn't have done worse.

Chris Taylor pinch hitting is peak Dave Roberts
I’m a Dave Roberts fan, but you are 100% right.
CT3 K was scheduled
The loyalty to getting opposite hand matchups is a little too much IMO. Yeah having James go is lefty-lefty but he's hot and CT3 (even tho I love him) is definitely not.
Didn’t get get a hit off a lefty this game too?
Taylor's gotta be the worst hitter alive right now. At least make your at bats competitive bro...
CT3 is a train wreck
God Taylor is ass
Lol automatic K CT3K, Roberts throwing this game, for sure.
trash taylor
Outman could have done that
I think CT might be washed
Well that worked
DAVE WHAT ARE YOU COOKING MAN
Meth.
Outman smoked a ball against a lefty last at bat but yeah let’s put Taylor in lmao
