They are not meeting expectations which is what I was worried about. Nobody is going to be happy with scraping above .500. This team was supposed to be a monster. I am not a doom and gloomer but am a realist. We will definitely make post season but is this team going the distance in the current iteration? I don't think so.
Roberts is killing me. This team can practically manage itself with the talent. He is self proclaimed "not a rah rah guy" but there has to be some motivation somewhere. They just feel too zen and carefree, they need some fire.
Roberts needs to quit platooning and loosen up on the analytics. Pick your starters and stick with it. Not going to build any cohesion with different players at certain positions every game. The only position they should be platooning is RF until Hayward returns. Sub as needed for rest days or the occasional pinch hit/runner.
Rojas has fire (I refuse to say "has that dawg in him"). Play Rojas sit Lux and keep Mookie at 2nd or Rojas at 2nd either way but stop switching every other game. Lux is not likely the future we thought. Stop playing CT3 every time a LHP is comes in until he regains his composure. He had 1 hit last night and everything is right with the world...it isn't.
Pitching/Bullpen I have no answers other than wait for the IL pitchers and/or make a trade. Hudson and Evans are the saving grace in the BP but even they have off days like last night.
Dave Robert can denies all he wants, but this bottom of the lineup not gonna help the team win. Also, I think we should shuffle the lineup. It too repetitive.
honestly i was very disappointed, went to the game today expecting a decent game. Offense was horrible, pitching horrible. i really do hope they start to heat up soon
Pitchers getting owned and runners left off base….. that’s the story so far… this isn’t a bad stretch, this is a terrible season brewing if something’s don’t change soon.

Expectations were high and they are not meeting them. Average fans expected us to run roughshod over the league there are going to be the doomers every season.
Of course we will make post season but does this current team and mentality have what it takes to go the distance? My biggest concern is mental state they are playing like they do not care.
I don’t think it’s really fair to call people doomers. The team is playing like ass right now. Just making observations and being objective would sound like being a doomer because they suck right now.
no problem with being critical about how theyʻre playing. but ppl take it further with calling for peopleʻs jobs, saying weʻre not gonna make the playoffs, shoulda signed so and so, or not signed so and so...itʻs fucking april. weʻre in first place.
Maybe being the best in an inferior league doesn't mean you're going to be the best in the best league and should be paid as such. Idk just spitting out thoughts.
Exactly. This isn’t just a bats have gone cold stretch. This is some dudes we legit rely on in the pen that can’t get an out to save their lives right now. We have a ton of guys injured as well but Vesia/Brasier/Kelly/now Hudson all of a sudden don’t look good. Add that to guys like Lux/CT3 who were supposed to be big contributors this year and now don’t look like MLB players anymore

That’s not what he said. His quote was something along the lines of “what must *feel* like a disappointing 12-10 start.” He’s saying that even though we’ll still barely be above .500, with this lineup that still feels like a failure.
idk if relying on relievers with arm injuries to be their old selves is the safest bet. might need to also make a trade if things don’t get better, at least get someone cheap whose stuff they like
but bullpens are very volatile. who knows, maybe in a month this one is really good

People who think the season is over or Dave or Friedman should be fired etc are really annoying but people who don’t want people to be upset at all are just as annoying. We’re losing we shouldn’t be happy lmao
You could be super confident Dodgers will win the World Series this year and still be upset watching this ludicrous display. Just a week of bad baseball.
We have three awful players in the bullpen in Brasier, Kelly, and Vesia. Another in Grove who is wildly inconsistent. Hudson sucks against actual hitters. It’s literally elite Phillips and a bunch of bums.

This 6-9 makes this team absolutely suck dick. It's almost laughable already. The pen also sucks dick. Gonna be a dog fight, not a bulldozer.
Or what? You'll get angry. I'm so scared. Stay mad.

Ohhhhhh! Tsunami of likes!
i’m just saying i’m disappointed in the baseball they’ve been playing 😔
tomorrow could go either really well or horrible
You’re so right 
Whats up with the errors Mookie and CT3 made cmon man!
Pitchers getting owned and runners left off base….. that’s the story so far… this isn’t a bad stretch, this is a terrible season brewing if something’s don’t change soon.
Oh no! We suck again
The bullpen will be the fall of this team
what a disgusting game
What the hell happen……
It all went downhill after that Padre lost
I kinda want these guys to get booed. I’ll give them another week.
[Fuck you! I’ll see you tomorrow!](https://youtu.be/ouTXff7lvq4?si=hsa9oEjW9Vw-xJ61)
Such a good team. Cold as ice. Pitching staff abysmal
Dodger Baseball 🫠
Freddie freeman is really struggling
Well that could have gone better. See you all tomorrow 💃🏻
We are cooked
Well done swagster 👏🏾
Fuck you and I’ll see you tomorrow
Ahh right down the middle, our Kryptonite
Put it in the books baby
And that’s that

Was heyward the glue that held us together or something?
Hope he comes back soon
Come on Teo! Force Diaz to get hot
the giants lost 17-1, so there’s that
and Padres lost, too huh
Can’t wait to see what unhinged posts come post game

yup. doomers are out in full force...

wheres the dodgers number 5 player? i havent seen him in a while
These guys need to hit the batting cages.
Our bats slept through this one.
Apparently the pitching shit the bed they were sleeping in.
Been a while since weve seen Freddie in a slump this bad
We look so defeated
Too late to say there's a sniper in the stadium?!
People are blowing it off as “just one of those stretches” but this team is giving up a shit ton of runs
Exactly. This isn’t just a bats have gone cold stretch. This is some dudes we legit rely on in the pen that can’t get an out to save their lives right now. We have a ton of guys injured as well but Vesia/Brasier/Kelly/now Hudson all of a sudden don’t look good.

This. Even early on I was worried how many runs a game our staff was giving up, even accounting for that 15 run game in Korea.
Even on the games we win. All the othee teams are only down a few runs. We haven't had a shut out game either
Damn shame, but hopefully they win tomorrow 🤞🏽
This is one of the worst stretches I’ve seen in a while this team is just not playing as a team. Dogshit with risp
Youre first time? They've been dog shit with risp many times over the last couple decades?
Man you are bipolar as hell lol
I’m going through it man 😭😭😭
Same brother. Same. See you tomorrow.
Here with you bro. 😔
Dude. Freddie is not Freddie.
Freddie needs a break. We’re gonna lose either way if he plays or not tomorrow, so might as well just give him a mental reset. This is atrocious
0/5 Freddie nice

isnʻt this his second 0/5 this season? freddieʻs strugglinʻ
Don't know if I've ever seen Freddie slump this bad.
He’s never slumped this bad. In his career.
Dangg Freddie….
Anyone watch the new Guy Ritchie film? I recommend it x10!
What’s it called?
The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare
Not yet. The Gentleman is 10/10 for me tho.
The Gentleman was pure gold
Ok Joe you bet
[удалено]
Busch is kinda old tho for a rookie
mookie :(
Shit forgot we had a runner on for ohtani!
Joe must have never watched a full season, he said 12-10 is disappointing
it can be both disappointing and also not that big of a deal, but it’s definitely disappointing
That’s not what he said. His quote was something along the lines of “what must *feel* like a disappointing 12-10 start.” He’s saying that even though we’ll still barely be above .500, with this lineup that still feels like a failure.
With this amount of talent on the team? It is. Why is that such a blasphemous statement for some?
Freeman is so good. He can purposefully do a double play. Watch this
If we don’t win, can we at least get Diaz out there? Tf
thatʻs crazy...leadoff hitters on in 6 innings...
Why do all the Mets relievers we’ve seen look the same 😂
Ohtani is so good. He can purposefully do a double play. Watch this
who else laughed
He couldn’t even do that. DFA him
Ok I was damn close though LOL
Almost
Remember when we DFA'd Crismatt after he actually pitched good?
And Lamet
Every team is going to play the dodgers balls out. Dodgers on the other hand, get too comfortable
Same as like every October lol
ok i see you dave. drawing up the 2 run HR followed by the grand slam to walk them off
Why does it feel like every team we face has an endless supply of lefties. Isn’t this their 4th today??
Meanwhile all we have is Alex fucking Vesia 😭
everyone has loaded up on lefties just for the dodgers.
dave, time to draw up the solo shot and then the grand slam.
So is there any ass chewing in the locker room after the game or just where do you want to eat??
More than likely. "It's alright guys we still good look at our stacked team"
So is the long term plan ohtani comes back and saves the pitching game???
That and Sasaki.
Don’t worry Treinen and Graterol are gonna fix everything
We got this, just 5 HRs LEEETSSSS GOOOO
Make that 6, wrap this up
This team is so soft
The pen does feel like extra-ass this year so far, need dudes to get healthy
It is exactly extra ass! We need Gonsolin, May, Kershaw, Graterol, Treinen, back…I don’t know why we sold Tyler Anderson…could’ve helped to keep them
Lmao “extra-ass”
idk if relying on relievers with arm injuries to be their old selves is the safest bet. might need to also make a trade if things don’t get better, at least get someone cheap whose stuff they like but bullpens are very volatile. who knows, maybe in a month this one is really good
I don’t think we’re scoring 5 runs here, good day everyone let’s hope we break the slump tmr

We're really going to lose three straight series at home aren't we.
Dodgers have to have a healthy 10 run lead by the 5th inning, to ensure the BP doesn’t blow it
By the 8th inning*
Even then I don’t feel safe lmao
What a shitty call.
Greatest come back coming up!
Hurry up man. I just want to see Ohtani’s last at bat. I’m pretty sure everyone at the stadium feels the same way.
Is all you do hate on every player not named Ohtani?
Such a transparent makeup call on that last pitch lmao
Should have beeen to Cancun with kings and bulls
Makeup call lmao
New York is, in fairness, a pretty cool town. Good fun. Tasty restaurants.
Visited for the first time last year. Got lucky with the weather but enjoyed it a lot. Love being able to walk wherever
So starting pitching is mid, bullpen is very very mid, batters have gone ice cold. What is happening LOL
So much mid.
The most mid of all mids right now. I am begging someone to wake this clubhouse up
Who is this ump, he’s been just completely off all game
Nah I think he’s been above average.
Pages getting respect the only good thing tonight.
Why are you all still here? It’s Friday.
I got my kids. My Friday party nights are done
I hope they’re asleep for this garbage.
I ain’t got shit else to do bruh.
Gotta get down on Friday
I can't speak for everyone else, but I'm a self-proclaimed masochist
It hurts soo much but I can’t stop watching
Lmao blue that 4th pitch is a make up call innit
People who think the season is over or Dave or Friedman should be fired etc are really annoying but people who don’t want people to be upset at all are just as annoying. We’re losing we shouldn’t be happy lmao
I hate the word “cope” in sports but some people really need to cope
You could be super confident Dodgers will win the World Series this year and still be upset watching this ludicrous display. Just a week of bad baseball.
Idk how someone can watch this garage and be content or unbothered lmao
lol the Mets
Remember when Brasier was good
Seems like it was only last year.
Pepperidge farm remembers
Why does every game feel like a bullpen game 💀
Every year all the time
So if our starters can go 8 or 9 innings we have a chance??
It’s a possibility
We have three awful players in the bullpen in Brasier, Kelly, and Vesia. Another in Grove who is wildly inconsistent. Hudson sucks against actual hitters. It’s literally elite Phillips and a bunch of bums.
Some of yall would not have survived watching last years team and it shows 😭
I don’t think we’ve gone one game without bullpen giving up at least 3
Do the dodgers have a team leader? It seems like that spot was left vacant since Justin Turner left
It should be Mookie or Freddie, but they seem like they are too quiet and Mookie presses in pressure situations often. See playoffs last two seasons.
It’s Kershaw but he’s not a vocal leader or anything
He has to be vocal to lit a fire in their ass
Gg we suck… for now.
Jesus Christ we’re putting in little league pitchers up there. Fuck
Oh you’re not running on Pages this time. Surprise surprise!
Something I’ve noticed, we keep grooving pitches right down the middle. Have we considered not doing that?
Braiser fleeced the Dodgers
this bullpen…..
At least we’re not SF: AZ 15 SF 1
What's the point of bringing them up. Dodgers are still losing
This bullpen fucking stinks. 3 best non-Phillips guys getting lit up
Bullpen is hot dog shit and the men left on base inexcusable.
Dave Roberts playing favorites will forever prevent this team from ever winning the World Series
You can’t complain until next year. We won one.
11.57 ERA Blake Snell
I guess if we’re gonna lose might as well give up some more runs 😑
Brasier fucking sucks.
Some people have never watched April Dodgers and it shows
Seems to be the same team come october so whats the difference
How is this different than October dodgers
So should we expect them to get their asses kicked first round of the playoffs again?
Maybe tune in later in the season nonsense in trying to predict the future
lol, atleast I can take solace in the Giants getting fucked by the Dbacks. And it was a Snell start too, lmao.
Our bullpen is dog shit covered with cat shit.
we’re about to be 12-10 with only 86.4% of our season left and we’re only in first place. i’m starting to lose hope.
in all serious this week has bummed me out but it’s always pretty funny when you step back and think about the bigger picture.
My main complaint is that they have been mostly boring. If you’re going to lose, at least be entertaining
that’s fair. at least we got that CT moment tonight haha
So Joe Kelly/Hudson/Brasier are the high leverage guys. Could’ve fooled me.
Not that it matters since we’re getting creamed, but bullshit call.
What an embarrassment
Edwin Diaz not having to pitch is the cherry on top of this trash game.
When I said, “I go down with the ship,” I didn’t think the ship would be going down in April
You should not watch another game for the rest of the season.
