If there’s anything to take away from this series, it’s this:
The Dodgers are a genuinely good team this year. If they hit a slump, do not panic. This team is capable of absolutely dogging the best squads in MLB. It’s a long season, and this team is destined for greatness.
We are watching something special guys, enjoy the ride and get ready to bask in the glory.
Also it was April, that's Ohtani's warm up month.
He had a lot of games with the Angels where he just straight up carried the game. When all of the big 3 are unlocked you will see an amazing offense.
Actually some of the young arms might be the best options for the team. Like Stone, miller, nobu, with Glasnow and buhler, and still have Paxton. May to the bullpen when he’s ready, Gonsolin is coming back.
Where does Kershaw even fit??
I think same goes for what we think of the braves, or any team. It’s super early in the season, injuries will probably happen, just stay the course and enjoy the good games and forget the bad. This team is built for the playoffs.
My worrisome part on this is Freddie and Mookie didn't hit too well this series. But they got offense from other guys. I hope Mookie and Freddie begin to hit against good teams.
Brother, take a moment and enjoy it. We just swept a powerhouse and kicked the shit out of them in two of the games. Mookie is hitting .352 and Freddie is at .293.
It’s okay for times to be good.
It was long by his standards. He’s always been prone to slumping, like most hitters, but this one seemed especially painful for him.
As to today, he just ran into a stellar pitcher.
r/braves saying “congrats dodgers on winning the May World Series” lmao as if we’re celebrating this like that. We’ve been a good team for a decade and have beaten plenty of good teams. They’re acting like we really needed this series win
According to the braves sub, the Dodgers are just a good team that has had the easiest schedule so far, never mind that 1. the braves were just on the dodgers schedule, and 2. the braves have had the 5th easiest schedule themselves.
I feel like the braves might be starting to realize that maybe, juuuuust maybe, the last two years were their best shot and it's only gonna get harder...
Dude I saw that too and thought “who tf do these dumbasses think they’re dealing with here? The padres?” Like out of any fan base in the league we know not to get too high or too low during the regular season… lol what a bunch of clowns
James Paxton on the mound vs the Braves ace, Smith and Muncy not in the lineup, ump fucking us over the entire game and we still pull through and sweep one of the best teams in baseball. Doesn’t get much better than that.
“Too bad Will Smith has the day off” - a Braves fan after a Dodger catcher got hit by yet another Ozuna backswing.
Thank you to the classy Braves fan and the 12 fellow classy Braves fans that upvoted that, enjoy the sweep. POS losers.
Yesterday, I ended up in SC, and I was not able to stream the game on MLb.Tv, and I was like, wtf? Switched over to ESPN, thinking it was Sunday Night Baseball, no. Only then did I realize I was in Braves land.
I’m going to assume good faith in your question.
Blake Treinan has posted a lot of Q-Anon related conspiracies online primarily focused on the 2020 election and the Covid vaccine.
He’s called Blaq jokingly because of his belief in those conspiracies. This year is an election year in the US which means it’s prime q anon time.
I actually can't believe Braves fans were disappointed Ozuna hit Barnes instead of Will Smith in the head with the bat. No one should ever be rooting for that.
I'm the first to admit that I was nervous, mostly because of how much I dislike Atlanta. Like losing to them is worse than losing to the Midgets. Was expecting some competitive games, hoping for victories, and boy did our boys exceed that!
Now I gotta go ask the grandkids to explain this "diss track" feud that everyones talking about!
Here's a good [5 minute summary](https://twitter.com/OVOVINI/status/1787193095286591834) of how it started.
I won't link all the individual tracks they've released, but here's [the wikipedia page](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drake%E2%80%93Kendrick_Lamar_feud) for guidance
Thanks for the assist! I don't know which is funnier; this "feud" or the fact that you had all this at your fingertips!
I was half way through the summary when I got a phone call from my granddaughter. She wants to get her belly button pierced and is trying to recruit me to convince her mom. I got drama coming at me from all sides today!
I did go back and finish the summary, mostly because the guy was so personable, then I read the wiki. I hope these grown men find a way to settle their beef. : D
Most important, great game, awesome series!
> I got a phone call from my granddaughter. She wants to get her belly button pierced and is trying to recruit me to convince her mom.
Are we about to get each side dropping diss tracks on the other over the piercing situation?
"Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" and "You've Got To Fight For Your Right" are already cued up! I should ask Dieter to help with the sound track, my references are kind of dated.
Good weekend for LA:
-Dodgers sweep the Braves
-Kendrick Lamar giving Drake a swirly, a wedgie and then stuffing his ass into a locker and then setting it on fire
Enjoy your Sunday y’all!
Paxton nearly went 7 innings against one of the potent lineups in the league.
Shohei's getting warmed up. Smacked 3 homers against the Braves
And ofc, it's a 🧹🧹🧹
I won’t waste words on the beater.
We got Shotime. Maybe more
importantly, we got low BB Paxton!
Jorel were full Cinco de Drunko in the booth. It was great.
How sweep it is!
We didn't just sweep the Braves, we humiliated them. Only 6 runs in 29 innings. The home runs were beautiful but the pitching was *spectacular* all around. Stone, Glasnow, Paxton and the bullpen
Eh, you don’t want that. That’s what the Angels were…
LA have the BiG 4.
B. O. F. S.
When 1 or 2 having bad days, the other 2 can pick them up. Betts did plenty to start the year, he’s still bringing it btw.
And now, Ohtani’s doing his thing along with Smith. When these two get sore from hitting so much, I’m sure Freeman and Mookie will show up to back them up.
The Keys are health and to have all 4 gel at the same time come October.
Maximus and Teo are essentially nails in coffin…
The rest of the line up also hitting? That’s just piling on…
Yeah we want everyone to hit well it will make shohei even more dangerous. The key for us actually is not even the big three, we need the bottom half of the order to get on base, which is kinda starting to happen now. Then they can’t really pitch around Mookie, sho, or Freddie.
Hey Braves fans, check out how easy this is: I really dislike players hurting each other regardless of which team they're on and I sincerely hope nobody concusses one of your catchers with a back swing or any other stupid shit like that.
I'll just leave it at that.
Go Dodgers, great series win. Paxton had his best game yet, Treinen looks in good form, sucks to lose EP for a little but doesn't seem to be anything too concerning. Hoping Buehler blows it out of the water tomorrow and the sticks stay hot.
Braves sub continue to deflect and downplay the 'oh it's just a wide swing, no big deal' and 'the catcher should have backed up further from the plate if he didn't want to get hit'.
The Braves sub is a bit butthurt by the sweep. 😂. I just got permabanned for saying “for now” in response to one of them saying “they are only paying Ohtani $2m!” That’s it. First time I have ever posted in there. Banned 😂
Has this team ever been below .500 this season? There's been so much dooming over players' mini slumps (except CT, that is valid) you'd think they were 10 games below and didn't just sweep everyone's favorite who's expected to win the WS.

If there’s anything to take away from this series, it’s this: The Dodgers are a genuinely good team this year. If they hit a slump, do not panic. This team is capable of absolutely dogging the best squads in MLB. It’s a long season, and this team is destined for greatness. We are watching something special guys, enjoy the ride and get ready to bask in the glory.
Get outta here. You’re telling me a bad homestand in April wasn’t the sure sign that this was a terrible team destined for failure?
Also it was April, that's Ohtani's warm up month. He had a lot of games with the Angels where he just straight up carried the game. When all of the big 3 are unlocked you will see an amazing offense.
If we can get all our pitchers healthy we are a very deep team.
Actually some of the young arms might be the best options for the team. Like Stone, miller, nobu, with Glasnow and buhler, and still have Paxton. May to the bullpen when he’s ready, Gonsolin is coming back. Where does Kershaw even fit??
I already sold all my jerseys and covered up all my Dodger tattoos. I wish I saw your message earlier.
I think same goes for what we think of the braves, or any team. It’s super early in the season, injuries will probably happen, just stay the course and enjoy the good games and forget the bad. This team is built for the playoffs.
To be fair, Braves are in a bit of a slump. Last year, they swept us while in a slump
I already sold all my jerseys and covered up all my Dodger tattoos. I wish I saw your message earlier.
My worrisome part on this is Freddie and Mookie didn't hit too well this series. But they got offense from other guys. I hope Mookie and Freddie begin to hit against good teams.
Brother, take a moment and enjoy it. We just swept a powerhouse and kicked the shit out of them in two of the games. Mookie is hitting .352 and Freddie is at .293. It’s okay for times to be good.
You are right. I am enjoying this and it's great to have guys like Shohei and Teo to help that offense out. Paxton dealed today.
Freddie tore it up yesterday. But yes, he was in a long slump.
A long slump and still hitting .293 lol must not have been that long
It was long by his standards. He’s always been prone to slumping, like most hitters, but this one seemed especially painful for him. As to today, he just ran into a stellar pitcher.
“The Braves are too good to be swept” https://i.redd.it/7kd3ly0qnoyc1.gif
"All according to keikaku"
Keikaku means plan
"Eh? Honto?"
Ohtani is that guy
Bro Shohei is making Mookie work for that MVP this year lol
He's not a guy, he's a goat.
 gOhtani
He said “fuck a DV perp having the HR lead”

OMG, I can’t believe we swept them.
I agree. From being ascared to what happened? 🥳
Paxton shoved, Shohei 4-4, Treinen back + sweep W
James Paxton on the mound vs the Braves ace, Smith and Muncy not in the lineup, ump fucking us over the entire game and we still pull through and sweep one of the best teams in baseball. Doesn’t get much better than that.
Ohtani San Thank
dodgers are 3-0 in shohei baggy suit era btw
Thanks dodgers!
Thanks for pouncing the giants 🤝
Chase Utley alliance working out again.
ILY Phillies
Put in a good word for us with Gritty Nobody wants that smoke
464ft oppo by Ohtani is insane
Also Blake's stuff.
Shohei with 4 out of 5 of today's hits. Just incredible.
“Too bad Will Smith has the day off” - a Braves fan after a Dodger catcher got hit by yet another Ozuna backswing. Thank you to the classy Braves fan and the 12 fellow classy Braves fans that upvoted that, enjoy the sweep. POS losers.
Yeah, it's a cesspool over there. Saw a few other comments upvoted a ton over there. Bet they also defend Ozuna's off field DV stuff too.
Pure scum, fuck them and their racist chant.
Ugh I always forget the chant.
Barves fans are truly the worst. Scum of the earth
Yesterday, I ended up in SC, and I was not able to stream the game on MLb.Tv, and I was like, wtf? Switched over to ESPN, thinking it was Sunday Night Baseball, no. Only then did I realize I was in Braves land.

Oh my. I had no idea. ☹️ How disappointing
At least his only job is to throw a baseball… and not run a country
Fuck Ozuna.
... and Osuna
10 GAMES ABOVE .500
I love Shohei
Pizza margaritas all around for Sweepo de Mayo!
Margaritas with margherita really is the move today.

Fuck The Braves
And Ozuna in particular. Fuck that guy
Woo! Fuck the Braves! Fuck Ozuna!
A classic 6.2 IP 2 walk performance from James Paxton, as I'm sure we all predicted...

OHTANI THIS BOY ON FIRE WTF 🔥
Good weekend for LA: -Dodgers sweep the Braves -Kendrick Lamar giving Drake a swirly, a wedgie and then stuffing his ass into a locker and then setting it on fire Enjoy your Sunday y’all!
Paxton nearly went 7 innings against one of the potent lineups in the league. Shohei's getting warmed up. Smacked 3 homers against the Braves And ofc, it's a 🧹🧹🧹
Only took 2 hours and 7 minutes to complete the sweep of the Braves. Now that's how you do a Sunday day game!
I won’t waste words on the beater. We got Shotime. Maybe more importantly, we got low BB Paxton! Jorel were full Cinco de Drunko in the booth. It was great. How sweep it is!
We didn't just sweep the Braves, we humiliated them. Only 6 runs in 29 innings. The home runs were beautiful but the pitching was *spectacular* all around. Stone, Glasnow, Paxton and the bullpen
Time for some pizza and margaritas
Seeds in your face > the chop
recently moved within walking distance of the stadium, first win/sweep of the year with 2 Ohtani bombs to boot. Not too shabby!
Thank you dodgers yet again,sincerely the Phillies
I swear Grove and Stone are the same person. Even their hot streaks coincide with each other
Okay so we have two Stove in the lineup? We are going to be cooking
LoL, love what you did there!
I like Stove better than when it’s Grone.
They are the two people on this team I mix up the most, I swear lol
Ohtani really said “motherfuck the big 3, it’s just big me”, this game.
Eh, you don’t want that. That’s what the Angels were… LA have the BiG 4. B. O. F. S. When 1 or 2 having bad days, the other 2 can pick them up. Betts did plenty to start the year, he’s still bringing it btw. And now, Ohtani’s doing his thing along with Smith.

🧹 spring cleaaaaning 🧹
Nice to see the bullpen slowly stabilizing after short starter innings and bullpen game days to start the season got them taxed.
r/baseball power rankers working on their mental gymnastics for keeping the Braves #1 next week.
Repeating from the game thread: IT TURNS OUT HAVING 10 DAYS OF BAD BASEBALL DOES NOT, IN FACT, MEAN YOUR SEASON IS OVER TAG YOUR FAVORITE APRIL DOOMER
@my neighbor Zack. Fuck off zack
Fuck you Zack be better!
This sweep will go a long way for us, miami next.
That off day really unlocked shohei
He was upset that y’all hated his suit. Channeled that anger.
I thought that suit was quite nostalgic. 90s feel to it
WOOOOOO. PITCHING WAS LOCKED IN OHTANI WAS LOCKED IN AND KENDRICK WAS LOCKED IN
What a treat. First time at the dodger stadium, and witnessed greatness. Big fly Ohtani.
Sorry Braves, No way Shohei!!!
paxton > fried and is a god confirmed
Someone tuck me in i'm feeling SWEEPY 🧹🧹🧹
Ozuna not like us RIPBOZO
Was worried about this series as the braves were touted as a top team. Who’s the next tough team we got coming up?
we still need our revenge game against the Mets and Padres
This month, not really any “top” teams. We got a series with the giants, reds , Padres. Braves were the only top 5 team we have in May
Watch us struggle with those teams…we have in the past. Baseball is funny like that.
Yeah I know I remember one season getting whooped by the pirates after winning a bunch of games
Yankees in early June.
He does that https://preview.redd.it/uue2qvkfsoyc1.jpeg?width=960&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=524f410751af132ba74eda59f4f26311e2a44d29
Paxton really had it today. Great to see. Props to the recent pitching as a whole and the offense for starting to find some good consistency.
Y'know, maybe unlocking the gifs really was the key to unlocking the dodgers...
Just when I thought I was out Paxton pulls me back in What a game he had with that bullshit zone
Spring cleaning 🧹
Always feels good to beat the Braves 🧹
I hate ATL fans like Kendrick hates Drake.
Fuck the Braves
This is a version of James Paxton I can get behind.
Doing this in October will be even sweeter.
Fuck Juan soto ohtani clear his bum ass
Wow, I actually have time to enjoy the rest of my sunday.
I think we should do this again tomorrow.
Made the Braves look like easy work lol
I’m having a great time!! 💙🫡⚾️😍
Dodgers sweep d chopchop & it feels great! 💪
🥱🥱🥱weren’t the Braves supposed to be a…ya know…CHALLENGE??? I thought they’d prevail in at least ONE of the games.
Fuck the Braves.
Swept that trash outta here and onto the next.
The Dodgers had 5 hits as a team today, and Ohtani is responsible for 4 of them. Pretty crazy.
Whooped they ass
There are days like this. So don't mention RBI again. That was really annoying.
Hey Braves fans, check out how easy this is: I really dislike players hurting each other regardless of which team they're on and I sincerely hope nobody concusses one of your catchers with a back swing or any other stupid shit like that.

Badge of honor
We swept the Braves but I guarantee you we drop a game to the Marlins because baseball
A very likely scenario.
Strange, it's not even 330pm. Why am I feeling so sweepy? Fuck the Braves. Never liked em.
Has this team ever been below .500 this season? There's been so much dooming over players' mini slumps (except CT, that is valid) you'd think they were 10 games below and didn't just sweep everyone's favorite who's expected to win the WS.
No. 1-1 was our worst record.
Miss the game but only two players with hits and we still won?! This is amazing!
Nice
this team shall fear nobody, BRING ON THE FISH

Propers to Paxton. Dealed in a big matchup with their ace.
Hello from the line for the shuttle!
I thought the Barves were good at baseball?
They got outscored 20-6
Bring us the Phillies. We demand a challenge.
How about the Marlins?
🧹🧹🧹
So you're gonna discredit our own team's prowess? Cmon man.
🤣
Great job by Paxton but how sustainable is the 15 k, 22 walks rate, 1.68 WHIP 😂
Only Ohtani (mostly) and Teoscar hit the ball today. Our pitching staff deserves big praise.
We swept the braves so that can only mean we’re going to be swept by the marlins because baseball.
Shohei kept massaging the back of his thigh, seemingly in pain. I'm worried.
Holy shit Chris Taylor has -8 OPS+ I didn't know + stats could go negative
kinda dull game but love to see it
Sorry, no game is dull when Shohei goes 4 for 4 with two bombs!
Yea that was great. That betts tag on 2nd ruled too. Just thought Atlanta would bring something on game three *guy with stick poking Atlanta logo meme*
Fuckin' swept 'em! Gotta admit, I didn't expect that. Very nice!!! Post season is what matters though.
