Thank you for watching! Bunch of 🐐 What do you want me to discuss next?

They signed their billion dollar guys for a decade, it’s been half a season.

I’m a padre fan but my god the recent bias is insane right now. It’s been half a season

In the postseason, It doesn’t matter how good you are during the regular season, it matters if your team gets hot or not

Money can’t buy health!

Almost all of Dodgers pitching is hurt. Also Betts and Muncy. Coming from a Phillies fan. Wouldn’t take too much from that series. Same with the Phillies losing against the Braves. Most of the lineup was out.

Bro our IL roster could go 95-67 it’s been half a season chill

The problem is Gavin Newsome. I’m not sure how just yet but he did it.

I like how you give more creditably to the Astro’s in 2017 then the dodgers in 2020 the 2020 has more legitimacy then 2017

so quick to hate when all our money is on the IL and were still one of the best teams in the league. do you expect the dodgers to go 162-0 or sum?

I feel like Dodgers are saving Yamamoto, Kershaw and Glasnow for the postseason.

haha im more concerned than Dave Roberts, than their health. Roberts is a bonehead

Spending all that money yet couldnt resign their world series MVP who went on to win another one 3 years later

As a dodger fan we don’t give a single fuck we learned the hard way already that the post season is what matters 🤩 LGD!!!

Im not a dodger fan but i struggle to understand why 2020 should count less. If every team had the same chance of winning then whats the problem?

Dodgers are realistically just a few players from being right back to the top. Muncy, Betts, Kershaw, Heyward, May, Gonsolin, Yamamoto, etc. better those guys are injured now than later

The Dodgers are not the only team struggling with injuries

The Dodgers are 7 games up in first place. They lead MLB with attendance at 55k+ and are making 192 million in TV deals not to mention advertising. They are fine. Baseball can baseball sometimes, because its a long season, and baseball will happen.

I don't agree, the dodgers spent a lot of money to become the best team for many years, not just 1. I still think the dodgers are in good shape, its a marathon, not a sprint

Dodgers dominate their division every year Clowns: "Regular season don't count! You have to win it all!" Dodgers win it all Clowns: "Doesn't count! You didn't have a regular season!"

Listen, injuries and no pitching are what’s killing the dodgers right now. Also the lack of offense in the bottom of the order doesn’t quite help either

The mlb playoffs are unpredictable no matter how many regular season wins a team has. Untimely slumps, injured starters, unfavorable matchups and prolonged bad luck make the playoffs a crap shoot. Welcome to cruel October.

Before the season began and people were talking about how great an off season the Dodgers had I said wait till the end of the season to find out. If the Dodgers don't do any better in the post season then they spent $1B to do what they always do. With the expanded playoffs it is much harder to win a championship. It isn't the best teams over 162 games that make World Series. It the teams that are hot going into October. The rules of player acquisition and payroll have changed. Spending lots of money is less likely to get you a championship now. I think that is why Scott Boros failed to get his clients the big bucks. The smart teams know paying big money does not guarentee success.

Payroll has a strong correlation with making the playoffs, but a much weaker correlation with going on to win the World Series. In part because you are up against other high payroll team, and in part because the series are relatively small samples and a guy's paycheck doesn't help him in one at-bat (or even four).

I can’t believe the team that buys every single trade deadline doesn’t have much roster depth!! 😱😱😱 (sko phightins)

Why is NOONE talking about how they only paid Otani 1 million so they could buy more players? I feel like they shouldn’t be able to do that… surely it will be a rule change in the future.

No matter how much they spend they will never capture the magic of the 2010-2014 Giants. Their front office has been trying since and will always fail.

Lots of time to improve. It's just atrocious how our pitching would be trash IF injuries didn't exist. And with our bats just suck so, idk we suck

I feel like they’re exploiting the IL to rest players I don’t think they give a shit about winning the most games or being top dog, that bit them in the ass in the past few years. I truly think they’re just waiting for a second half tear that they can carry into the playoffs.

Yankees 🤝 Dodgers “We’re both frauds”

The Dodgers aren’t in the top 5 of payrolls this year

The Dodger roster is fundamentally flawed. It is built wrong to be consistent. The pitching staff is loaded with pitchers that are consistently hurt. Every year the same names pop up along with some fresh faces. If a player is injury prone, stop signing them. The amount of wasted salaries year after year is staggering. While the Dodgers don't fret the money much their roster is still built incorrectly for post season play. In this I mean their offense. The LA offense is built on power but many of those power hitters strikeout way above acceptable levels while hitting for a poor batting average. This results in runners being left on base way too often. Sacrifices, runners being advanced, etc. often don't happen because they don't make contact with the ball. Even some of their backup players are strikeout machines and many simply hit for unacceptably low averages. These strikeout prone hitters perform even worse against solid pitching, which is precisely what the team faces in post season play. So if they aren't hitting home runs, they seldom score many runs and they don't hit many home runs against good pitching. It is a recipe for failure in the post season. They get away with it in the regular season because they face a lot of sub par pitching but they don't see that much in the playoffs. I'll list batting average, strikeout percentage and runners left on base for anyone hitting below .265. Highest strikeout percentages to lowest. BA - STRIKEOUT PERCENTAGE - LOB (strikeout pct. does not include uncounted AB's for walks/sac) James Outman: .158 _ 39.2% _ 74 Chris Taylor: .161 _ 37.8% _ 54 Cavan Biggio: .175 _ 37.5% _ 85 Max Muncy: .233 _ 36% _ 97 Teoscar Hernandez: .261 _ 30.8% _ 191 Austin Barnes: .259 _ 27.1% _ 41 Andy Pages: .257 _ 26.8% _ 122 Kiki Hernandez: .191 _ 23.2% _ 94 Gavin Lux: .216 _ 21.6% _ 116 Miguel Vargas: .250 _ 20% _ 26 Jason Heyward: .203 _ 17.8% _ 49 The amount of LOB for some of these players with low AB's is staggering. Outman, CT and Biggio are disasters at the plate. They kill far more opportunities than they assist or create. I am not a fan of Muncy's hitting. Yes he has power but if you watched all season long prior to his injury, he was killing innings with his strikeouts. Betts, Ohtani and/or Freddie would get on base and Muncy would whiff. No advancement and then Teo would come up and often whiff or have a harmless out ending the inning. The Dodger front office values power over contact and they pay for it in the post season. They need players who put the ball in play and strikeout less than 25% of their AB's. Look at the Diamondbacks. If they had LA's pitching, they'd be one of the best teams in baseball. Their roster and far lower salaries is based upon contact and they score runs. Unfortunately their pitching has often been atrocious. Last year it wasn't as bad and you saw what happened, they made it to the series.

Super teams seem to never work besides a few teams

Even though they’ve had very consistent regular seasons and have had to deal with injuries, i think it’s totally fair to call out the dodgers. They’re the most fortunate market in baseball, they’ve been attracting such high profile, talented players for the last 5 or 6 years, but all they do in the playoffs is fall short. It’s like if the Kevin Durant Warriors lost in the second round repeatedly. Obligatory fuck Trevor Bauer.

We have a world series roster on the IL 💔

120 win teams aren't bought. 90+ wins every year is what you buy (hell, Padres and Mets couldn't even buy that). Anything above that takes team construction, timing and luck. Dodgers support players have sucked this year. Pitchers are all injured. They'll still win at least 95, probably 100 games.

The great equalizer for the rest of baseball versus the Dodgers is...Dave Roberts. Just an opinion of course, more gut feeling hunch than a thorough examination. But after about a decade of underwhelming results in the post-season, if you look at the one constant that has been there each season, it's Dave Roberts. He is the common denominator. There have been others who have talked about his tactics and in-game decision making being questionable, if sometimes perplexing. No Manager is perfect. But with the exception of one season, the body of evidence seems to demonstrate that once the pressure of post-season arrives, Roberts can't seem to Manage his Roster to ultimate victory over other teams with less talent.

Dude just couldn’t wait to put out another club bait video

They signed their great players to maximize chances. They literally have 10 seasons to make it happen

Talking about the Dodgers' inability to "win it all" without mentioning the Trashstos cheating L.A. out of their rightful title is a serious omission.

And now they just blew two games to the Tigers…

Very timely after getting swept by the Phillies! Andrew Friedman’s brilliance was left in Tampa. Excellent commentary.

ill save yall some time their best all-around player has been out their 2 best pitchers are out and their best pitcher Ever hasn’t pitched yet their most consistent power hitter is out every single depth player has had a season that is bottom percentile of their potential there!

Everyone said they wer gunna win the world series in the off-season

Dodgers are Peyton manning in the regular season

Shohei also can’t pitch this year can only hit.

We have been plagued with injuries, and even on a losing streak we’re still well over .500 half a season in, I think we’ll be okay

Teams STILL don’t understand that signing the best players won’t guarantee you a championship. Look at the Yankees and Mets. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Dodgers aren’t going anywhere with Roberts as their Manager

Rather lose now and win later than win now and lose later… its been like that every year lmao

They'll be fine. But I cannot wait for them to choke once again in the playoffs. #still1988

If you've known the dodgers they are usually bad mid season ..... smh the hate is so funny

This Dodgers team is the equivalent of the late 90s Yankees without the post season dubs. So i guess their budget is just mad blown 😂

I hate the Dodgers a lot, but they'll be fine. Next year Ohtani will be able to pitch. So this year isn't even the expectation to actually win it all. They're only gonna get better from here.

I think this might age well

iTalk: "you don't win a championship buy giving someone money" *Yankees franchise enter the chat*

Daily content is becoming a reach I see

The Dodgers themselves would tell you this run they’ve been on has been a failure.

This ain't it. Dodgers are literally relying on minor league arms for pitching right now. On top of that, Mookie has been injured for about a month now yet they still have the 5th-best record in baseball and are currently 8 games in 1st place in their division. ALSO, they currently have a better record now than they did last season at this point. You're just spreading misinformation at this point.

Baseball is a broken sport, they should have a trophy for 8 teams (biggest payrolls) and a separate one for everyone else. Everyone not just players from US and Canada should be made to be draft eligible. It doesn't help your sports when only 6 teams are realistic contenders for players from China/Japan/ Korea pitchers. Plus Manfred is the absolute worst commissioner is all sports. Yes, $ doesn't buy you championships but it sure helps when you can make mistakes and cover them up with more money. Do you think If a team like Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Oakland or Milwaukee signs a bad contract they can sweep it under the rug like New York or LA can. Ever fan base needs to have the feeling they can win in all each year not just a select few. ( I know there are teams that have bad ownership/ management but that's on them) We need every fan base to be able to sign a few home grown talents to big contracts not just have a six year rental periods before they go on to greener pastures. Rinse and repeat MLB needs to be more like the NFL the way they market themselves and run their league but unfortunately they will never get the PA to agree to a soft or hard cap to make a level playing field and I don't blame foreign players wanting to play for East/West coast teams. Having all players being made available to draft is a great start ( which is broken because you have to pay a posting fee to the foreign team but this could be fixed by having MLB/ PA pay the posting fees to have the players available for the draft) I know if your a fan of a large market team it sounds like I have sour grapes but league's revenue popularity and future growth will only increase when every fan base is invested.

Thats what happens when you sign sloppy slop players 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Seager, Bellinger, Turner, Machado.

thank god the new watch page is gone. that shit fucking sucks

The main reason they got Sho-time was the big bucks they are making off him because they are making a ton between the interest they have to put in the bank every year, the ad revenue, and merch! So, why not sign the best player? By the way, the Dodgers are at a better pace than they were last year at this time, while missing a big chunk of that payroll with players injured I just think you like stirring the poop with some of your videos! I still watch them though, haha!

it's been weird over the years how superstars have come to the Dodgers and been very average for the first few years. They can still play defense but seem to forget how to hit especially in clutch moments. Also, we tend to have tons of pitching injuries every season. I know every team does but it just seems to be worse for the Dodgers. Honestly, Yamamoto was never injured in Japan and now he is on the IL his first year woth the boys in blue. WTF???

And you talk about the injury bug, but why wouldn’t you be more optimistic about their return… for them to be leading NL WEST on this 50% capacity team…

You already did one on the Yankees, but do another more detailed video on how the Yankees were 50-22 before going 6-17 over their next 23 games with no sighs of it getting better. Unlike the Dodgers, the Yankees lost their first place to the Orioles during that slump. It’s so much easier to have 3 tries in a series than just 2 plus home teams have a losing record in the wild card rounds.

Let’s be honest the Phillies team is way better - coming from a giants fan

Ive been a dodgers fan since kindergarten.

The dodgers are missing alot of giys due to injury in 2024, mainly muncy and betts thats 60-65 homeers betweeen the 2 one, two where i do blame in part if not most is D. Roberts. Is time for him to go. 11 divison tittles going on 12, sure won a ring but some people dont teally count it, having said that you onmy have one ring? The dodgers shoukd have 3-4 easy with those amazing teams they have had in the pas, but its roberts. Sometimes his decision making as well personally for me hate how he lines up his lineup card. Cant stand it!!!

October baseball is our kryptonite 😭🤦🏽 Let’s go Dodgers 💙⚾️

They had to do something though, last years team was returning and was due to regress.

All sports don’t count 2020 Mickey Mouse rings 😂😂

Spent a billion and still have to force a player to learn shortstop. 😂

This era will be remembered for the best team the Houston Astros 😀

Half the team is injured 😢

i was waiting 4 this

Listen this video Is so true and you can look back to those yankee line ups that lost in the early 200's Jeter Shifield Arod Giambi Matsui posada

The Dodgers give me bowel angst.

A bit harsh. Yeah it’s been a bad run recently but they still have the 2nd best record in the NL. They have a large amount of their roster on the IL and it is only half a season.

I miss Belli and JT on the Dodgers 😔

This is no means negative but you’ve reused that intro for a previous video. I picked it up and felt like I should let everyone know.

If we didnt have so many INJURYS dude. 7 injured pitchers and mookie and muncy gone for another month. It just sucks. We are just lucky that the rest of the league mostly sucks

Agreed the dodgers bottom of their lineup is extremely weak with limited bench depth as well However losing so many key players will take a toll. That being said this has become an annual occurrence for the dodgers the last several years and it begs asking the question What is going on with that training staff? What changes have they implemented the last several years?

The money that they spent has worked so far and that’s coming from an angel fan. Ohtani has performed, freeman has performed, glasnow has performed and Betts have all performed at incredible levels. Let’s start talking about this when the big money players aren’t playing well

We got a HOF IL fr

In MLB, success has a queue. Dodgers are lined up for a big payoff; but fans will have to wait more than one season for a championship

Dodgers are cowboys of the mlb lol

They have figured out that they burn themselves out during the year. So this year they will have burns early and come back in September ready for October.

I will say that as a dodger fan, if they only win the 2020 title in this run it would be massively disappointing. Very similar to the 90s braves. I’m not taking away the 2020 WS from them but to only win one would be crazy.

Let’s not talk about that years playoffs please I was at both games where they got absolutely worked, I was on suicide watch 😅

Once everyone comes back dodgers will be playoff ready.

Look we are very injured mookie Bette’s tylerglasnow Bobby miller Clayton Kershaw and yoshinombo Yamamoto are all on the iL and we don’t have Jason heyward or max muncy so yes we got worse because of injuries but once we hit top gear y’all have already see what the dodgers can really do

W video

I was waiting for this video, just rip the bandaid off. Our IL list can be its own roster from how deep it goes.....

Mr. Studios are the Astros back ?

Injuries and just inconsistency. There was a lot of questions about that bottom of the lineup before the season started. When they were unusually off to a hot start in April, I knew at some point they would come back to earth. Playing .500 ball since mid May. They are one of the teams that desperately need the ASB now.

Calm down. It's the all star break and they've lost 9 of 12, but they are still up 7 games in their division. Lots of baseball left to play and lots of guys will be coming off the IL soon.

It's almost like they could use a Cy Young winning starting pitcher right now like, oh i don't know, Trevor Bauer. LOL

Yeah, but every team is playing their World Series when they play the Dodgers. Hence, why they just got swept by Philadelphia, you know, the team thats gonna secure their Postseason ticket before the ASG.
