    Dodgers have two problems right now:

    1) Offense is super listless, and nobody is a hot hitter. They seem to have all wilted with Justin Turner's absence.

    2) Bullpen sucks again, after a few years of being one of the team's strengths. Wilmer Font isn't ready for prime time, Scott Alexander has a bad career WHIP (and it shows), Baez hasn't been good since mid-2017, and most importantly, Jansen isn't himself. So that's going to be a big problem. The loss of Watson and Morrow is looking pretty big right now.

    Odd start in the NL.

    Pittsburgh and Atlanta are the offensive juggernauts. Pirates are about to be 7-2, Braves are 5-3 with the most runs scored in baseball.

    Dodgers are 2-6, Nationals are 4-4, and Cubs are 4-4.

    Hmm.

    I love overreactions to the first 10 games of a 162 game regular season.

    That said, my Oakland Athletics are lolbad.

    Morrow will be coming in shortly to close this one out for the CUBS

    You realize not a single human in LA or anywhere else (other than Druff) is watching Kershaw right now

    Ohtani is perfect. 18 up and 18 down

    Do you take him out up 5-0 against stupid A’s?

    Watching the ESPN baseball broadcast. ARod is really good in the booth. Weird how someone that always came off as such a douche when he was a player is so good as a broadcaster. If anything he is too complimentary and pumps up the players too much. He actually said he was jealous of Matt Harveys' swing and the other 2 guys (one chick technically) in the booth called him out on that.

    I know it's just the Giants, but Kershaw looked very good today.

    Jansen saved it but still wasn't dominant.

    Dodgers offense continues to suck.

    I am going to laugh at big dick when the Brewers win the division.

    Thanks for the scouting report cause you were the only one in America watching the Dodgers when the feel good LA alternative was playing.

    It’s the choices we make that tell others who we are.

    On another note, given the lol Dodgers local tv deal - will the Angels become LA’s team and Dodgers some irrelevant adjunct?

    As long as LA has millions of Mexicans, the Dodgers will always be LA's team.

    Most true Dodgers fans would just get Spectrum to watch Dodger games. I am probably an outlier in that I refuse to get Spectrum mainly because I don't want to give up the DirectTV NFL package.

    Also, on top of the Mexican fanbase (which is also why the Raiders are probably the most popular football team in LA still) despite the name change noone in Los Angeles considers the Angels their local team. The Angels have their own fan base in Orange County where they play. All the white people I know who are Dodger fans have no interest in the Angels either.

    The Koreans I am not so sure. LA has a very big Korean population (and a very small Japanese one) which are big Dodger fans, especially because the Dodgers aggressively go after Korean players. I dunno if they will become Angel fans to root for a Japanese player. I doubt it.

    How are the Mets 11-1?

    Only 3 of those victories were against the bad Marlins. The rest of the opponents were decent.

    I can't imagine this holding up, though the hot start by itself may be enough to score a wildcard berth.

    There are 150 games left in their season.

    If they go 76-74 in those games, they will end up winning 87, which is sometimes enough to get 2nd wildcard.

    If they go 80-70, they win 91 and have a very good chance of making 2nd wildcard.

    or they regress to the mean

    for a number of reasons, but primarily because most of their pitchers will be on the disabled list at one point or the other

    willie is right...it's all about the pitching...

    imagine them all staying healthy: syndergaard, degrom are a nasty 1-2 followed by matz, wheeler, and the ultimate wild card in Harvey...

    I've been wrong before but if my shit memory serves, I believe that no pitcher has ever successfully come back from the thoracic outlet surgery...

    their offense isn't that terrible and if their cheap fuck owners would actually open up the wallets instead of bitching about being fucked by Madoff they could get another bat at the trade deadline if their pitchers don't fall apart...

    Solid 9 run 8th by the Cubbies today. They needed it too. Damn shame. Pulling for the Cubs to shit the bed this year. That .500 team the Cardinals have need all the help they can get.

    What is so annoying has been the narrative that the Dodgers are some juggernaut. Literally, no one saw that they are in decline following a season of over achievement.

    SBNation fucking yesterday

    Saturday night at Dodger Stadium provided a glimpse of a series of mirages. There was a stolen base that wasn’t, a home run that wasn’t, and a good baseball team that is playing nothing like it at the moment
    If you pulled up MLB Power Rankings (until recently) from some idiot or another you would still find the Dodgers in top ten. This list would read Mets 11-1 then Dodgers 3-7. Like WTF?

    The narrative is turning but people are slow. If I read the “The Turner is missing” excuse for their pathetic offense one more time. 33 year old overachieving Turner. Guy who was pretty much nothing his whole career. I loved him last year - mostly cause I love the underdog - but give it a fucking rest.

    The entire offense sucks and pitching sucks. They are bad. Please stop.

    To show how entirely fair I am (and have always been) and that I don’t simply hate all things Los Angeles ... the Angeles are soooo much fun and so likeable. Trout and Ohtani so humble.
