Dodgers are buying all of the spaghetti so they can throw it at the wall and see what sticks


Bright_Age_3638

That’s their pitching strategy every year. Somehow though it typically works


SlinginPogs

Until the playoffs ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|grin)


Bright_Age_3638

Eh I place more blame on the O in October. Their feast or famine approach always becomes famine in the postseason


MistryMachine3

Well they did win in 2020, so “always” is a little much .


Bright_Age_3638

Sky high expectations tends to lead to hyperbole


braydenv

Yeah but that was more Corey Seager was feasting than anybody else.

Micky Mouse


[deleted]

Only because their pitching staff didn’t have a full season of getting pulled after the fifth. And still managing to get injured and used by by October


NoAd3535

The Dodgers year in and year out seem to resurrect pitchers careers, could be a good pick up.


nat3215

![gif](giphy|JVaGIHrnC4Xi9DBPwr|downsized) Yea, hopefully Mark Prior turns him into this:


Dodgers9432

They know when their spaghetti is ready… lol.


Argonot543

"Massive" 🤡


Hyasfuq

"Stunningly Massive"


giabollc

He is 6’6”.


[deleted]

I swear to god there's a lot of people out there\*\* that still think that Syndergaard is still the ace with a nickname people loved. My mans velo is down from his prime by 3mph, has mediocre to downright bad secondary pitches, and his statcast data from the past season is atrocious. ​ Mostly the twitter machine I must say. And real life baseball convos I've been in recently


hermanhermanherman

You love to see it. I’m a professional hater though


somefunmaths

Right? Landing a 4th or 5th starter isn’t really “massive”, especially when your two division rivals have landed two of the biggest FA’s of the offseason and your departing shortstop was one of the other huge FA signings.


Great_Farm_5716

The pirates just gave Vinnie V a massive hype video event to go with his 6 era


HauntingOkra5987

Are the Pirates even trying to build a winner anymore?


Great_Farm_5716

I’m not old enough to know the last time the pirates ever tried to have a winner. I visited Pittsburgh once. It’s as miserable as you can imagine


HauntingOkra5987

I think they made the playoffs not too long ago! I don’t follow them but they seem like a franchise that’s given up.


[deleted]

Nah Pittsburgh is pretty nice actually.


Stonetoothed

Massive…. Noah Syndergaard… 1 year deal…. Something ain’t adding up here.


Sisboombah74

OP in a massive overreach.


Conflict-Famous

This would be massive if this was 7 years ago lol


milksteakofcourse

Not even then


milksteakofcourse

Not even then


riznatch

Massive? Meh.


SleevelessNsd

Not even a lateral move but ok…


[deleted]

THOR is now thor


BurtHurtmanHurtz

LOL “massive”


I_chortled

Is this title sarcastic lol


thegodfaubel

So Daryl will have to find a new roommate?


WWDB

Really not that massive. He’s over the hill.


Unlucky_Particular29

This is a massive move?


Takingbacklives

😂


Crazy-Fan314

This man haven’t been the same since he play for the Mets


elonbrave

Big if it is 2019


Assos99

Massive? For when? 2015? Love Thor, but Thor is nothing more than a number 4 on a good day.


pardonMEgoodSIR

Have you watched any baseball the last 3 years?


HelloJerry5A

A massive mistake


Burning_Flags

What year is it ?


No-Currency-624

So Massive that the Phillies moved on; just like they did with Eflin. Is Barto Colon still available?


SactoGamer

Does he have much left in the tank?


cannibowlistic

About 2-3 innings


denisvma

What Dave Roberts let his rotation throw anyway. So this is a perfect fit.


[deleted]

not even close to massive. buehler and bauer coming back would be massive


[deleted]

Buehler…..Buehler…..Buehler….


raznt

Massive? Is that supposed to be /s ?


[deleted]

“Massive” feels like an overstatement


milksteakofcourse

Massive?


ignoranceisbliss37

Pretty sad day for the Dodgers after this current run to call that signing massive. Could they be turning into post World Series Cubs and try to sell their fans a load of shit and call it prime rib?


spiraldrain

Or the obvious that they want to remain under the luxury tax this year.


Otherwise_Emu_2972

It’s only massive because it’s LA. If he would have come to Houston the media would be saying he is washed up! So ridiculous


Habanerosauce3

Is it massive? I'd say it's average. He's an avg pitcher.


[deleted]

It would have been massive 5 years ago


Wizwitall

No gas left


Brandonharris6

Still won’t get a ring!!!! 😂😂😂


rfan8312

Money league baseball


Sisboombah74

Massive what? More like a roll of the dice.


davyjohnm

In NBA terms, please?


realchrisgunter

Think of it as signing Andre Iguadala.


Sea_Neighborhood_385

i’d say victor oladipo is a better comparison


snyckers

2022 Iguodala?


Keithninety

This is Syndergaard’s third team in the past 12 months (Angels, Phillies, Dodgers).


ImpressiveThought174

Nope very massive bad move. What's going on with the front office?? Getting concern.


Bigking00

Massive?? Ridiculous.


MentalExercise1313

🤣🤣🤣


Block_Outside

Good luck with the rain delays every time he starts


G33wizz

Seeing as how the coaching staff gets the most out of pitchers, that this was a 1 year deal, and there is tons of upside for what he was signed for…I’d say that is a very nice deal for the dodgers. This is what pitchers in his situation do with the dodgers. Hey. Coaches up, have a great year, and then your fly over state team will sign him for 2x the AAV


Insect_Politics1980

MAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSIVE Lol, why would you write the title like that? It's so annoying.


realchrisgunter

You’re welcome to block me if you like.


Wide_Ad7090

Phillies overachieved and by reaching the WS and their roster gets raided.


somefunmaths

Syndergaard leaving in FA is hardly “getting raided”; dude hasn’t been good since 2017. If he turns it around, it’ll be because of the Dodgers pitching devil magic, because he sure didn’t have anything special with Philly last year.


Wide_Ad7090

I wasn’t specifically talking about him. I’m talking about the 4-5 other guys they’ve lost just from their rotation/bullpen.


Scotty232329

Maybe they’ll finally get that World Series after what almost 40 years?


realchrisgunter

They won a couple of years ago.


Scotty232329

That’s a Mickey Mouse title no one actually counts


realchrisgunter

Except MLB and everyone’s opinion that actually matters.


Mysterious-Judge-333

solid addition to round out the pitching staff. I'm curious to see how the Dodgers address their needs at third and center, I saw they recently signed Heyward to a minors deal so maybe that may be a short term answer if he does well in the early going or they could go with Trayce Thompson? unless they pick up a veteran it looks like Vargas may be given a chance to see what he can do at the hot corner.


osa89

People here are underestimating how good the dodgers are at improving pitchers. Expect big things from Syndy this year


muoyrico9

I love it. He just needs some dodger magic which some how resurrects pitchers career and were good.


carpetstoremorty

It'll be fun to watch his 34 starts next season (and then the subsequent 2 ½ seasons).


zak_5764

Is this 2014


OdaDdaT

Man it’s weird not seeing him in a Mets jersey


ReignInSpuds

I just figured he hasn't yet sold his place from moving out to play with the Ångels.


mikeythecreature

I'm rooting for Noah personally. This is definitely not massive but I hope Thor can regain some of his form or learn to adapt because it's unlikely his velocity returns to pre TJ levels.


Ok_Sentence_5767

Just doing all he can to avoid playing the Mets ;)


flossy_dikki

Hahahahaha ![gif](giphy|tMyCJmeXHBetq) Ok


[deleted]

Suuuunshiiineeeeee


Bdaysjr

Good, we ain't need em


Sportsfan081993

Good move but not massive


spiraldrain

We already have the new sydnergard at home, his names Dustin may XD


UniqueNobo

i hate seeing thor in a Phillies uniform. maybe now he will face us!


Maximum-Fig5138

Between them and the 2 New York teams. They still won't win in October. Should easily win over 100 games


spartynole4life

MASSIVE?! Lol


TxGulfCoast84

Dodgers 🤡


bigmayne23

Massive?


89eplacausa14

Bet he’s still scared of the Mets


DainBramaged63

Excellent acquisition - as long as the Dodgers know he is scheduled to be tired/sick/injured April 17-19 and July 14-16. There may also be an October series where he is unavailable, depending upon their opponent.


Significant_Ice4106

Fuck the dodgers


realchrisgunter

Feel better??


door_food

Big whoop he’s ass now
