Baseball Thread

Dodgers down 4-1 going into the 7th inning and basically getting their shit pushed in, even though the scorecard doesn't read as badly.

Freeman has left the game and has been replaced by Kike Hernandez. Mookie continues to be an absolute fucking scrub in the playoffs. The other guys haven't been much to write home about. Ohtani is 0-3. Flaherty, while being ok has gotten into a screaming match with Machado and that seems to have fired up the Padres even more.

I don't think that Freeman will be much of a factor for the rest of the playoffs sadly, which is a massive loss for the Dodgers. Crazy as it sounds, maybe experiment with pushing Ohtani to 2nd or 3rd in the batting order ?

Edit: LA crowd is throwing shit at Juricson Profar (nigger). While I don't condone this kind of shit, Profar was taunting the crowd after robbing a Mookie home run in the 1st inning so fuck him. He was also jawing at and taunting Flaherty when Flaherty was going at it with Machado.

As I once heard someone say, "Tell that background nigga to shut the fuck up...niggas can't argue from the background".

Edit: Down 6-1 now because Merrill decided that his coronation as one of the next big things in Baseball can't happen any faster.

Edit: Make that 7-1. This is some clown show shit right here. Tatis the fucking spic steroid abusing faggot out here taunting the crowd once again.

Edit: Scott continues to dominate Ohtani and strikes him out on 3 pitches in the 8th. Ohtani is 0-4 in this game, which is not acceptable. You're not going to homer every game, but you have to at least get on base and make some shit happen. On that note, Mookie continues to flub as well, going 0-4 himself as I write this.

Edit: Tatis homers again off of some spic who I've never heard of, Henriquez , to make it 10-1. What the fuck is the use taking some no name piece of shit on the postseason roster if he's going to get shelled right away ? I thought that it was beneficial to have pitchers who haven't been seen much, but this is downright shameful.

Final Edit:

Mookie's playoff struggles are no longer simply anecdotes and are now well and truly the book on him so to speak. The delta between his regular season stats and his recent playoff stats are eye-opening. Some faggot ass podcasters were talking about "putting some respect on his name", but shit that happened back in 2017 or even the meme tier "championship" in 2020 have absolutely no bearing on his current performance. Hyperbolic as it sounds, I actually wonder what kind of trade offers may be on the table for Betts in the offseason.

If you think about it, there is a reason why the Padres have been picked by the majority of analysts to win this series. They're the far better fielding team, the far superior pitching team, better at contact hitting and putting balls in play. Power hitting is the only area where the Dodgers have a clear edge, and on their day they have a great bullpen. The problem ? Both power hitting and bullpen performance are aspects that can swing wildly from day to day and it's not something that you can rely upon over a long enough time frame.

Another crazy idea I had was to try letting Freeman DH and to play Ohtani at 1st base. This way he doesn't have to throw guys out and strain his arm. This way they can at least get Freeman to keep hitting.

The only hope that the Dodgers have is to somehow split games in SD and then to bring it back to LA for the final game. What worries me is that they have retards like Walker Buehler and literal whos like Landon Knack going up against the Padres elite starting pitchers...I mean, Dekopin might unironically be a better option than those worthless fucks.

In any event, this is simply the manifestation of a Dodgers' fan's worst fears. There's a reason why having good starting pitchers and just being able to consistently put the ball in play has been a hallmark of the truly great teams of yesteryear.

Dodgers already down 3-1 and getting their shit pushed in.

How the fuck do you allow 2 runs on infield errors back to back ? This is all on that nigger Roberts not having these idiots ready to play and execute the most basic shit.

As long as nigger Roberts is in charge, this team won’t do jack shit. Can’t field, can’t pitch and can’t hit much either.

Edit: Are you just allowed to run on the grass as a baserunner ?

It’s now 6-1. Why the fuck am I even watching this shit ?

Dodgers fans were trolling Padres players by not only throwing caught (almost) home run balls back on the field after being given by the person that caught it, but also reportedly throwing trash on the field.

Padres’ own Machado ended up throwing a ball inadvertently to the Dodgers’ dugout, which almsot started a fight, but cooler heads prevailed.
 
God damn, Ohtani might as well pick up a glove and head to the infield. It's probably better than whatever I'm watching right now lmao.

Pretty much this. At least they took Rojas out of the game.

How are you feeling now?

I don’t see it being 6-5 for much longer. Dodgers just don’t have it.

Can someone explain to me if there is any benefit whatsoever to Gavin Lux being a fatass piece of shit with a lard belly ? Does it help with power somehow ? Because he’s slow as fuck and can’t field worth shit.

Imagine if the Dodgers had sat Rojas (another fat fuck) and just started Edman at SS…they very well may not have been in this hole.

The Mets and Phillies are never boring. I really expected it to be a full series with the Phils holding on to take it. Lindor, goddam.

I doubt they'll get past whichever west team they end up playing, but a lot of Mets fans can learn to live with that pretty easily as long as they beat the Phillies.
 
Hurricane Milton got the ball rolling on the new Tampa stadium by ripping the roof off of Tropicana Field.

Which creates a unique situation, since its an unpopular stadium and was going to be demolished in 2027. Seems unlikely that Tampa is going to spend tens of millions of disaster relief on fixing it.

So for the next few years, the Rays are going to either be an orphan team or play at a minor league park like the As.

Filthadelphia should always be laughed at whenever possible.

Not that I needed any more reasons to hate the Yankees, but Bob Costas has been droning on about how the Nigger Leagues are "rightly classified as a major league".

Nigger, please. Meme tier games and totally made up "statistics" are going to ruin this sport. I hope that stat databases have a way to exclude that shit so that we can do some real analysis on the game's greats.

The stat websites are counting Negro leagues as major leagues but because of Negro recordkeeping no major records will be broken. There are not many documented games I guess nigga you gotta believe me he hit 18 home runs in this game that the score was never written down. Pretty soon the last people to ever witness these games first hand will die of old age.

I'm surprised that nobody here is talking about CLE-DET. Hell of a series so far.

As a Cleveland loyalist, it really has been a great series. The regular season games between us were some great midwest baseball. Both are pretty evenly matched. I much prefer a series like this in the playoffs than a 4-0 or 3-0 series blowout.

Both teams have relied very heavily on their bullpens, which is going to affect whoever advances later on. Cleveland has had a dominant bullpen this season and has the top closer in the league, but man were they looking straight gassed at points last night. Clase was clutch as he always is, but he had some control issues. After his performance a few days ago with three straight sliders, he seems spooked to throw that pitch again. Which I totally get, but that slider is a great offset to give a hitter after you throw multiple 100mph cutters and 4 seamers.

The other big problem we have is leaving guys on base. The last three games were atrocious in that aspect and Cleveland needs to finish what they start. That has been an issue all year though. While I can somewhat forgive leaving a dude on base when he got there with 2 outs, it is incredibly disappointing to see XBHs delivered with 0 outs and we either strike out or pop out the next batters. Regardless of that, I think our bats are very patient in waiting for the right pitch. As long as we keep the ball in play and competitive, we'll eventually get the desired results; but patience goes a long way in this game.
 
Well, 1 last game to go with all to play for. The proverbial "win or go home" scenario for either the Dodgers or the Padres.

Regardless of how things turn out, I want Roberts gone. People keep talking about this nigger's "winning %" even though he has the luxury of some of the best rosters in the game's history. If he had to manage a team that lives off of luxury taxes and has to scrape the bottom of the barrel, then how would his % look ?

It might be old news now, but Rojas was seen at a casino gambling well into the night before Game 3. I'm sorry, but if that's the kind of ship that you run then it has to go back to Roberts. If you're too bothered with fucking around at casinos and shit then that's emblematic of the lackadaisical culture that plagues the team.

I think that Yamamoto needs to be given an extremely short leash. If 2 men get on then it's basically time for a change. He shows elite ability in patches but for whatever reason he often gets completely taken apart early. Needs a lot of work if he's going to become a no-doubt starting pitcher (especially given the money involved).
