***Official*** MLB 2025 Thread

Ol’ Mookie appears to have adopted a line drive approach. It’s working.

The top half of team is old and the bottom half is comprised of triple A players. The team you see is the team they’ve been since the ASG. Local media is starting to accept reality and relinquish trust

I listen to conversations about what the outfield is going to look like in the playoffs. That’s crazy that nothing is resolved after 162 and that defense is just an afterthought. Games against the best are often decided on one or two mistakes. This trust in offensive explosion is a choice, I guess.

-102 Giants cashed again. Market doesn’t believe and I’m nervous it will catch up. Then I’m off.

Max Muncy has taken this opportunity during his time off to get fitted for progressive bifocals.

You guys are way off base on this one. There are a couple angles of the initial commotion and A. this guy doesn't have the balls to grab anything out of anyone's hands, clearly --- and B. he had every right to retrieve a ball in the few empty seats over from his, just as much as those from seats a row above did. I've been to a ton of MLB games and empty seats unimpeded to a ball have always been fair game.

The lady's actions are indefensible. Tolerance to this type of behavior from by-and-large white women, but now more so women in general, is how we ended up with an increasingly, not so much of a joke anymore, play by play thread for the end of times on here.

In my entire life I have never seen such a brutal loss. I witnessed history while others were watching college football.



The articles are gonna be glorious tomorrow.

This one was definitely the worst, but "luckily" they have blown so many games in the 8th-9th inning in the last month I am mostly numb at this point, so not as shocking as it would normally be.

And yeah, Dodgers are lucky this game was against CFB and the day before the first NFL Sunday, so the reaction will be much more muted than it would be.

My first remark after I saw this abomination occur on my TV set:

"This is probably the absolute worst fail I've ever seen from the Dodgers in a regular season game."



If you want to enjoy the hate, click on these two tweets and read the thousands of replies:

Davey Johnson DD at 82: https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/...n-mets-dies-82

I don’t truck with the twitter comments.

Fire Dave Roberts and Tanner Scott hate. Roberts was given a bag of balls to work with.

Additionally Roberts makes precious few actual coaching decisions - Dodger analytics scripts out most of his options. He is a vessel for the front office and he carries out his orders. Front office can’t fire him.

Gomes and Fraudman need to face the public not Dave Roberts.

The anger is a reflection of expectations. They were billed by many journalists as THE BEST MLB TEAM EVER ASSEMBLED. Dodger fans believed the press. The reality is the team is not that good. It hasn’t been for half the season.

Druff hit the acceptance phase sooner than most in LA.

Mine has been the loneliest job in baseball. I’ve been vindicated.

There are certain moments in the season which can define it either way.

On August 20, 1988, I was at this game:

Very exciting moment, and the Dodgers were energized the rest of the way.


Today was the opposite of that. It exuded so much fail that I'm not sure the Dodgers will be able to get over it this year. It's like Howard Dean's scream or Marco Rubio's robotic repeating of his pre-rehearsed lines at the debate.

The 2024 team didn't win over 100 games like the previous years' teams had, but in the final months they seemed to be always making things happen, even during moments of hopelessness. This team seems to be going the opposite direction.

Could be worse, though. The Dodgers could have been the 2025 Braves.

Imagine being this kid and having to see the following a thousand times over the rest of your life:

The guy sounds and speaks exactly like I'd picture, given his actions there.

It's not like he had to worry about a big scary drunk dude beating his ass over this. It was an old-ish lady who couldn't have done shit if he said no.

I still agree with those who say that the guy was kind of an asshole to run 30 feet over and jack the ball from the people already scrambling for it, but truth be told, that's kinda common in MLB stadiums. If he grabbed it out of her hand, that's a dick move, though I think maybe she got her hand a little bit on it and he swiped it. I doubt he wrestled it out of her grip.

Anyway, regardless, once you've given the ball, you absolutely don't give it back unless you think the consequence for not doing so is going to be severe.

So yeah if this were me at Dodger Stadium, and I gave it to Ben, it would have to be a very scary dude for me to give up that ball. Everyone else I'm telling to eat shit.

Dustin May has gone to the Sawks bullpen.

That's the second former Dodgers pitcher the Sawks stupidly jumped after.

Speaking of the Dodgers, Max Muncy is back with the team. He had two long flyball outs in his first 2 AB, but it's a good sign. They need anything to jumpstart the offense. Right now Tyler Glasnow is pitching an early no-hitter, but Dodgers are down 1-0. Lulz

6th inning

With 1 out Rockies walk Muncy to load the bases cause Dodgers NEVER produce a single run with bases loaded. Worked according to script.

Rockies Chase Dollander 2-12 / 7 ERA / 1.60 WHIP. Shuts out Dodgers. Nice get right spot for the kid.

I’d love to see Dodgers face Sawks atm.

Suffice to say this should increase his odds.

Cubs (Cade Horton) F5 -105 vs ATL (Strider).
Strider recently not as awful as he’s been post surgery. He’s not the same guy
Cubs offensively challenged. Just need one run of Cubs offense. Horton only allowed like 4 runs in 42 innings.

I like the price

I expect CLV by first pitch.

Dodgers won because... well, it's the Rockies... and Mookie might be over the SuperAIDS and seems to be hitting again.

Glasnow looked good, but again... it's the Rockies.

Tanner Scott insta snaps the no hit - it’s a Dodgers closer tradition now.

Dodgers facing all the cellar teams and it’s been hard work.
