Los Angeles Dodgers 2025

[Rams8821]

Well, playoffs are not a given if they don't right the ship. They've been a sub .500 team for almost two months. Not showing signs they're ready to make a run.

Today their offense struggled against a pitcher with a ERA at almost 8. A 1.80 WHIP. His ERA sure got a boost today.

Meanwhile Ohtani got knocked around for 9 hits and 5 runs in 4 innings. Best they can do would be a 4 game split with the worse team in the league.

I get the frustration, I do. However there is a 99.999% chance we make the playoffs and we probably win the division.

After an emotionally charged series in LA, which they swept, its just hard to get up for an August series in Colorado. Just human nature.

Look, the best team in the NL just got swept by their rivals...

Win today, and then gear up for another battle in SD. Snell, Glasnow, and Yama, I like our chances.....

In the playoffs, we aren't going to throw out there Alex Freeland, Conforto, and Buddy Kennedy....

162 is a grind....stick with em!

It's extremely frustrating.

Losing 2 out of 3 to the Rockies is completely unacceptable.

The worst team in the league by far and can't hit a rookie with an 8 ERA before the game.

Just absolutely terrible.

This is not a good look at all.

And I would put Ohtani in the bullpen just to pitch a few innings a week when they have a large lead or behind by a few runs. It's clear that he is still trying to get his stuff back.

A kid I know was drafted by the Dodgers in the sixth round. He played with my son in travel baseball. His name is Mason Legenza.

Starter for the Mets tonight Nolan Mclean played with my son. Hell of an arm, was a 2 way player for a year at Oklahoma State.

Big series this weekend for the fellas. We hit, we win!

I don't know how long its gonna take for the Dodgers to break out of their collective slump. We know about the bullpen struggles. No lead is safe. But the offensive struggles are something that is concerning.

A few days ago they got shut down by a guy whose ERA was around 8 with a 1.8 WHIP. Last night they face a guy with an ERA over 5. Managed one hit and one walk in 6 innings. 3 hits for the game.

So far today through 5 innings its 15 up and 15 down for Nestor Cortez. A perfect 5 innings. A guy with a 5.87 ERA and 1.65 WHIP. Our hitters are not facing all star talent but still struggling to score. Are they gonna start talking about a no hitter in a couple innings?

15-17 since the all star break. I'm not even counting the 7 game losing streak before the break. On July 3 they peaked at 56-32. Since then they're 17-24. 41 games of sub .500 play. Are they gonna break out of it? One has to wonder with all that talent why it hasn't happened in so long.

Getting Tanner and Yates back definitely helps the bullpen. Alleviates the number of appearances that Vesia needs to make.

He is starting to get tired and he is definitely not a 9th inning reliever.

Plus, Kopech is close to coming back and I definitely like his ability in the later innings.

I was really worried about a sweep. That was a much needed win. Are they ready to break out and start winning more? Getting close to two months of sub .500 winning percentage.

The bullpen is the main culprit. But the offense has been shut down by below average pitching too. First two losses of the series they scored one run against pitchers with an ERA over 5. The got shut down by a pitcher with an ERA close to 8 in Colorado. A hitter's ballpark. Hopefully they turn it around in October.

Just a gritty gutty win Sunday.

If you had told us we'd go 4-2 vs SD in those 6 games; we take it.

Now lets stay focused and get a series win vs Cinnci.

Ohtani for the sweep today against the only team that has NOT gotten swept all year.

8:40 start time for those east coasters!!

Lets do it!

 

[Tano]

Nice sweep.

And this E. Hernandez guy.

0 era after 14 bullpen games.

They should have tried him in the 8th inning when they had 1 run leads.

Everyone else failed miserably.

 

[Rams8821]

Great series sweep. ONLY team all year to sweep the Reds.

Snell, Glasnow, Yama this weekend.
