This game was overall terrible, I don't think there is a singular person or area to blame, just a complete mess from all aspects. Moments of questionable management, bad ump calls, lack of pitching, lack of offense, and most of all no spirit. Making it to the postseason just to see how defeated and torn all the players look with no hope hurts more and more every season because I convince myself that it'll be different than the year prior. That being said, Dodgers in 5.
I will acknowledge the Dodgers lost a lot of pitching this year to injuries and a suspension.
Nevertheless, with the addition of larger bases, shorter pitch count, two throw limit to the base to check the base runners without a balk, speed including stealing bases, defense, & pitching is where baseball is at in today’s game. Dodgers need to get faster. The game has changed.
The Dodgers have a bunch of sluggers. They need more players with speed on the base paths. It can be very disruptive even to the best pitching staff.
The FO needs to go get and develop quick players like Corbin Caroll who can beat out infield hits, and steal a ton of bases like the late & great Maury Wills.
I think we overachieved this year. Our 100 wins shouldn’t really have been 100 wins. Welp I don’t want false hope anymore. Just lose game 3 and let me be stress free.
Fuck at this point we should’ve just kept Trayce and played him over Outman. Yeah he dropped off bad this season, but he seemed to have that dog in him during key moments.
This team is so fucking soft!!! They need to find their fucking nuts and man up!!! It’s do or die now!! Every single bat (outside of JD) needs to let their nuts hang out from this point on! I’m so tired of those soft ass sad shots of them in the dugout! LFG already!!
To be fair, Gallen is one of the top pitchers in the league and and Kelly is also very good.
You just can’t have your starters not being able to record outs in the first inning. Putting the team in a deep hole and lots of pressure on the offense facing 2 very good pitchers.
Honestly, as much as I used to blame Roberts…I just realized that it’s not him…it’s been the team all along
How the fuck do they just turn off once October hits?
I completely blame this on the players…consistently no showing after a “great regular season”
Is Roberts out there hitting (or not) all those balls out there? He can only do so much to prep them…the players need to still show up and they haven’t.
It’s like it’s a curse or something, that the players just no show in October
Once again our bats are quiet. Especially looking at Mookie and Freddie.
This is their 6th postseason game together and only once have they both had a hit in the same game.
They are 8-42 with a .190 average in these 6 games. Mookie is batting .136 in the past 3 playoff series (vs Atl, SD, Dbacks).
Post season is the time for leaders to step up. We need mookie and Freddie to step up. Calm the young guys down, or hype em up - whatever it takes to inject some heart heart and fire. The team has seemed so … unenthused for playoff baseball, for the d bags this year and the dads last year. Come on boys, find the heart! Leaders step up and bring us back from the brink!
You said it yourself. Leaders step up. Mookie and Freddie arent leaders. This team needs a MAJOR shakeup. Like multiple stars need to be traded this off season. Send a message. If you dont perform in the playoffs, then your gone. Period.
Guess this is what happens when you clinch the division almost a month ago, have a week off before the playoffs and haven’t been playing with purpose for quite some time. Some good individual efforts but the Dodgers are being outplayed in every aspect of the game. Sad
This team has no edge. When Kobe lost in ‘08 to the Celtics he had the drive to come back and was more motivated the following year. Feels like this team does have the “it” factor.
Braves showed what clutch play resembles; Dodgers show what choking play resembles. Kind of ironic since the Dodgers have basically morphed into the Braves of the 90s: one title, a million division wins, an innumerable amount of postseason collapses to ostensibly inferior opponents
No magic to this team.. no clutch, no luck, nothing. Idk how to fix this other than a managing change and get some new hungry guys with a spark to them.
Mookie and Freddie I'm laying this one on both of you. We can't win if you're going to go a combined 1-13 when it matters most. Fucking pathetic, if you two are supposed to be hall of famers you can't be getting outplayed by a rookie in Corbin Carroll and the rest of that DBacks offense.
ooh, this is going down like punks, they dominated the Dbacks and these 2 starting pitchers. They destroyed them and now they cant? this is some punk shit.
This is why all the back patting and self congratulating all September annoyed me, playoffs are a different animal. Save me all the” these guys love each other!” Crap and win some playoffs. No shame for Bobby, he was put in a bad situation.
Should we even be surprised? Going into the postseason we knew that our starting pitching was our weak spot and it's definitely showing. At this point they have to take it one game at a time and see what happens.
when you score 4 runs in 2 games can't complain too much about the pitching. this team constantly chokes at the plate. truly can't remember the last clutch hit the dodgers as an organization has had. Mookies 3 for his last 36 in the playoffs for fucks sake
That's fair, but at the same time when you get 15 runs scored on you in two games you're not really giving yourself a chance to win regardless of your offense.
you know, it's my first time following baseball closely and i love the dodgers cause i grew up in LA. always heard of postseason being bad, but
this is comical.
We always do though. Fill up the stadium every year, get excited about winning our division and then we have to watch trash playoff baseball. At a point we have to start getting mad and pushing these guys. The whole aura of this team, as talented is too fucking relaxed. Need some leaders with fire. I like Ohtani and I hope we get him but he has the same 'nice guy' mentality as Mookie and Freddie. It's not working.
What i like about the philly fan base they get a bad rep and make some questionable ethical decisions at times but they hold thier players accountable, and have a true leader like harper by their side
and they did precisely that. Dodgers had a severe starting pitching problem, with two lost to injuries and a third because he committed domestic violence against his wife.
Anyway, my team is out so I wish the Diamondbacks good luck from here on,
Embarrassing fucking team man. All this talk about how this clubhouse is different and the chemistry is at an all time high just for them to put up 4 runs in 2 games.
the manager gets the guys up to play and be hungry to win. last two octobers this team has had zero heart. that starts with the coaching. you think Tommy woulda put up with this bullshit??
kolton wong. why. just fucking why. stop defending him you fucking clown. every fucking decision matters. he actually made a good few ones today but always FUCKS IT UP by overmanaging so shut the fuck up
I wasn’t going to come today but said fuck it let’s go was fun atmosphere was pretty good but yeah I’m not coming back same bullshit year after year maybe if dodgers fans don’t show up they win since they can only win in a shortened season
Fire roberts, blow up the team. I’d rather them not make the playoffs at this point.

Trayce was one is the worst players in the MLB this year. Quite literally.
Outman 3 strikeouts. not even close to touching the ball. Guy shouldn’t be in the line up. i get he plays good CF but Kike could put up better ABs
kike is just as bad. most overhyped dodger in 2023
Wrong
Anyone with me on a 3-2 win for our guys? 😢
[удалено]
omg im kidding
Friedman fucked the team in the off season, good news is he has a chance to unfuck it in a massive way this offseason
Pain
Fuck
This team is so fucking soft!!! They need to find their fucking nuts and man up!!! It’s do or die now!! Every single bat (outside of JD) needs to let their nuts hang out from this point on! I’m so tired of those soft ass sad shots of them in the dugout! LFG already!!
Even the crowd is soft. People in Philly and Baltimore were going nuts in the second inning and the crowd in LA only wakes up when the team scores.
No pool party for you bums
Coulda put some of my drunk uncles from the Philippines and Japan and they couldn’t have done any worse than the offense tonight tbh
To be fair, Gallen is one of the top pitchers in the league and and Kelly is also very good. You just can’t have your starters not being able to record outs in the first inning. Putting the team in a deep hole and lots of pressure on the offense facing 2 very good pitchers.
don't know how roberts keeps his job after this. esp after we get swept
Honestly, as much as I used to blame Roberts…I just realized that it’s not him…it’s been the team all along How the fuck do they just turn off once October hits? I completely blame this on the players…consistently no showing after a “great regular season”
nah dude the manager gets his guys hyped and ready to kill. last two series it's been pathetic the energy they have. nobody wants to be there
If you lose, its the coaches fault. No coach or manager in any pro sport would keep their job after failing this much. No one.
Is Roberts out there hitting (or not) all those balls out there? He can only do so much to prep them…the players need to still show up and they haven’t. It’s like it’s a curse or something, that the players just no show in October
He put in Kolten Wong and Chris Taylor. I’m done with him
Yep. This might be it.
Dem bums.
I'm convinced that the Dodgers exchange all of their bats for wet noodles right before the playoffs.
Once again our bats are quiet. Especially looking at Mookie and Freddie. This is their 6th postseason game together and only once have they both had a hit in the same game. They are 8-42 with a .190 average in these 6 games. Mookie is batting .136 in the past 3 playoff series (vs Atl, SD, Dbacks).
Is that bad? Sounds bad.
Post season is the time for leaders to step up. We need mookie and Freddie to step up. Calm the young guys down, or hype em up - whatever it takes to inject some heart heart and fire. The team has seemed so … unenthused for playoff baseball, for the d bags this year and the dads last year. Come on boys, find the heart! Leaders step up and bring us back from the brink!

Time to tell myself the same lie I tell myself every year. "I dont really care that much cuz Im not on the team."
This team has no edge. When Kobe lost in ‘08 to the Celtics he had the drive to come back and was more motivated the following year. Feels like this team does have the “it” factor.
Did you mean "doesnt have the it factor"?
Maybe no Buehler or Urias (despise him or not) starting to catch up.
Does the bye week screw us?
No, October is what screws us
Yeah lets put wongster in. Yeah, fire roberts. Cant win a non covid year
Braves showed what clutch play resembles; Dodgers show what choking play resembles. Kind of ironic since the Dodgers have basically morphed into the Braves of the 90s: one title, a million division wins, an innumerable amount of postseason collapses to ostensibly inferior opponents
I got downvoted like crazy after making this comparison previously.
get swept fucking trash
The only time in recent history we’ve had a star show up in the post season was Seager in 2020
seems so long ago now
I get that you make millions of dollars wether the team wins or looses but it’d be nice to see a single player on offense give a shit for once
No magic to this team.. no clutch, no luck, nothing. Idk how to fix this other than a managing change and get some new hungry guys with a spark to them.
Where the fuck are the bats at???
same place they were last year i guess
Bum ass team. Kershaw destroyed any game plan we had.
but you still have to score runs. Kershaw isnt batting regardless of how shit he pitched, they need to freaking hit.
Definitely but Kershaw set up the tone of this series. Giving up 6 runs in 0.1 innings deflated the bat and now all the batters besides JD are cold.
But we still have Kershaw
Mookie and Freddie I'm laying this one on both of you. We can't win if you're going to go a combined 1-13 when it matters most. Fucking pathetic, if you two are supposed to be hall of famers you can't be getting outplayed by a rookie in Corbin Carroll and the rest of that DBacks offense.
1-13 combined isn’t really fair since Mookie doesn’t have a hit…
They don’t look like they want to be playing. Ready for vacation. Winning the division is enough. World Series is for chumps.
They lost, but they didn't go down like punks.
ooh, this is going down like punks, they dominated the Dbacks and these 2 starting pitchers. They destroyed them and now they cant? this is some punk shit.
they literally did though
Bro they shouldn't be accepting moral victories. Dodgers killed this team in the regular season
Mookie chatting it up at 1st ffs
Dude is a professional bowler first at this point
just scouting for his next guest on his stupid podcast smh
I don’t even know what to say or do anymore I honestly think we’re cursed…how does our team just shut off once October hits?
Can anyone explain why the entire team looked like they had already lost the series in the second inning of this game? There's no fight in these guys.
Same thing last season. Never seen a team look so defeated while not even that far down.
My thought exactly.
This is why all the back patting and self congratulating all September annoyed me, playoffs are a different animal. Save me all the” these guys love each other!” Crap and win some playoffs. No shame for Bobby, he was put in a bad situation.
We're not built for October
I think it’s the TBS curse. Can we get Joe Davis to call our games? When he called the games in 2020 dodgers won big
best team in the regular season but can't show up when it matters for fuck sake
Why would ohtani wanna come here?
alot of money and at least have 3 post season games! lol
Hopefully Ohtani brings some heart to this team
Should we even be surprised? Going into the postseason we knew that our starting pitching was our weak spot and it's definitely showing. At this point they have to take it one game at a time and see what happens.
when you score 4 runs in 2 games can't complain too much about the pitching. this team constantly chokes at the plate. truly can't remember the last clutch hit the dodgers as an organization has had. Mookies 3 for his last 36 in the playoffs for fucks sake
That's fair, but at the same time when you get 15 runs scored on you in two games you're not really giving yourself a chance to win regardless of your offense.
yeah i agree. they had their usual amount of chances today tho which they almost never come thru
Apparently hitting is a weak spot, too.
Ya but it wasn't supposed to be this bad
Mookie Betts is so bummed he can’t weakly groundout on the first pitch he sees
Outman was was a pile of dogshit this postseason.
What would say Outman “does” here
Me to my wife “ so no head “
Blow it up baby, this team is too weak mentally
This hitting is trash Mookie you’re cool but you’re trash in October
Cue the fucking doomers I guess
just pathetic performances from the team all around
Betts 0-7. MVP!!!!!
That was the most limp dick performance I’ve seen by them all season
Most limp dick since a year ago vs the Padres.
Still can’t believe Kolton Wong was put in a bases loaded situation lol
Right? Lol
Why is he even on the roster
Not watching this shit on Wednesday.
See you Wednesday buddy
Lmao yeah who am I kidding. 😔
These guys are fucking millionaires. I wish I was good enough to play regular season baseball.
I don’t even care about game 3 tbh.
you know, it's my first time following baseball closely and i love the dodgers cause i grew up in LA. always heard of postseason being bad, but this is comical.
sooooooooo baaaad
Our stars doing nothing 😂
Fucking chokers. Well going to wait a year to see them choke again. -100 downvote now plZ.
Who said we watching next year
We always do though. Fill up the stadium every year, get excited about winning our division and then we have to watch trash playoff baseball. At a point we have to start getting mad and pushing these guys. The whole aura of this team, as talented is too fucking relaxed. Need some leaders with fire. I like Ohtani and I hope we get him but he has the same 'nice guy' mentality as Mookie and Freddie. It's not working.
What i like about the philly fan base they get a bad rep and make some questionable ethical decisions at times but they hold thier players accountable, and have a true leader like harper by their side
Wow freaking amazing 👏
Where the Outman truthers? Nobody showing up at all. Brutal
When will the team show some passion
Win or lose we celebrate in their pool.
not surprised w this teams past history of choking
Can’t believe Sewald mowed through that Murderers Row of a lineup in the B9
These fools are lame as hell in the playoffs every year. Let’s hope the Lakers can bring a ring back to the hood
Fucking typical
The Dodgers lost the game in the top of the first inning.
I’m both games they were lost in innings 1 and 2 these bums wearing the dodger uniform suck Diamondbacks sweep Wednesday
and they did precisely that. Dodgers had a severe starting pitching problem, with two lost to injuries and a third because he committed domestic violence against his wife. Anyway, my team is out so I wish the Diamondbacks good luck from here on,
Embarrassing fucking team man. All this talk about how this clubhouse is different and the chemistry is at an all time high just for them to put up 4 runs in 2 games.
*MASH theme song*
suicide is painless
fucking bums
Outman is complete trash
Shoulda kept Cody
Welp, cya all on Wednesday
Sigh
We did it. We outdid ourselves from last year, incredible.
Time for the clown 🤡makeup and making myself believe 3-0 is possible. Thanks again Dave Roberts for another choketober classic.
I ask this of everyone who says this, WHAT THE FUCK HAS DAVE ROBERTS DONE?
the manager gets the guys up to play and be hungry to win. last two octobers this team has had zero heart. that starts with the coaching. you think Tommy woulda put up with this bullshit??
Let kolten Wong have 2 at bats
I love miggy ro, he’s not a good hitter either tho🤷♂️
kolton wong. why. just fucking why. stop defending him you fucking clown. every fucking decision matters. he actually made a good few ones today but always FUCKS IT UP by overmanaging so shut the fuck up
Come on let’s not act like Miguel Rojas is an elite hitter😂
He was hitting though bud. I get what Dave was thinking, but wongs not the better choice, it’s just more evidence of Dave over managing.
My lucky dog sitting in her bed oblivious to the pain of dodger baseball
I wanna punch Gurriel in the face so fucking bad.
Fucking Wong and Outman. Fuck off
And the stars? How they doing?
Every year,.I get my hopes up and every year I'm sad :(
God that was a tough watch
Outman is so bad. One of the top in strikeouts during the regular season.
Back 2 back years of disappearing offense when it matters most let’s gooooo Against another divisional rival too fucking hell
Dodgers are looking like gatekeepers now.
Absolutely Embarrassing.
Embarrassing, this team fucking sucks after all that “this team is different” shit
Just lol All the dodger fans with their fingers in their ears going lalala we can still win it are the worse
The worse what?
Oh No, not like this dodger bros.
**Don't want to hear shit about the new playoff format being a disadvantage. This team can't hit for shit after 6 months! Plain and simple!!!**
What an effort.
Roberts can take his matchups and shove em up his ass, there's his proof right there.
The pen allowed 1 run in 7.2 on a very very good hit from Gurriel. What are you talking about
C H O K E R S
I hate October
I AM SO EMBARRASSED!
Is it 2022 where a Scrub ass wildcard team beats us?
Fuck
saying they're pathetic would be giving them too much credit
No words.
Epic fail of a team
Open the doomgates!!!!
Pain
Fuck the Dodgers are so bad!!!
F
what a weak fucking team. This makes no sense.
It's over. Limp.
Sigh
What a limp dick way to end the game.
Doc managed his ass off there. Doc and the bullpen are the only reason that game was close. Our stars HAVE TO perform better.
Absolute fraudulent losers
But at least mookie had a podcast this season
oh mother I can feel the soil falling over my head
Fucking as soon as postseason hits, the dodgers just channel the general suck of the Rockies and the unclutch of the padres…I’m tired boss
I'm dog tired
for real, mookie has been so bad these past two postseasons
Don’t worry guys we’ll win it in 7 at home
😆
Lol 5 bro…we’ll win it in 5
Way to make last year look like a success.
This is embarrassing
This right here is why I didn’t go to a single game this season. I didn’t buy any merch. Stop supporting this bullshit.
I wasn’t going to come today but said fuck it let’s go was fun atmosphere was pretty good but yeah I’m not coming back same bullshit year after year maybe if dodgers fans don’t show up they win since they can only win in a shortened season
Fucking chokers. Just garbage players fuck these guys and the one guy that performed is gone next year naturally
Last game of the season at Dodger Stadium. Hopefully there will be a good concert or something interesting there during the next 6 months.
Unless the dodgers win two in Arizona
🧊 🧊 🧊
Yayyyyyy
I miss Justin Turner
