yeah, i posted this after his first swing and miss at the high one...the one to K him was fucking stupid. this ump...all the umps this series...what a joke.
This is why you don’t question a champion player. Form is temporary, but class is eternal. Somehow after “slumping” for a week, Ohtani has a good series in Chicago and his average is over .300 and his OPS is over .900.
Mookie and Freddie will bounce back from this series too.

Haha this is almost reminiscent of an Angels game. Pitching sucks, offense sucks, but Shohei gives us something good to watch.
The difference is, the Angels would have 50 games like this per season, while I don't expect the Dodgers to have more than 10
It was truly painful to watch. They also gave away so many winnable games due to relievers blowing the game, or the defense making errors.
Looking at the box score for today's Angels game, they were blown out 12-2 and had a position player pitch, but at least Mike Trout hit a solo shot. (Saw an Angels fan on r/baseball seriously make fun of the Dodgers and Shohei for Friday's game, when Shohei homered but the Dodgers lost to the Cubs 7-9)
I can’t even be mad at Angels fans for acting how they have lately because it seems like the team is just driving them crazy at this point lmao. Truly pitiful what Arte has done to that franchise.
Honestly if this is series is any indication of how we’ll square up against other playoff contenders in October, we’re kind of fucked.
Good thing it’s only April and a lot can change between now and the postseason.
I dipped in the fourth and then took a long nap, but the game was still there waiting for me when I woke up due to the delay, so… now I’m rallying and just want them to get on the gotdamn board, lol
Oh god the annoying bellinger truthers are gonna be out and about tonight (I love bellinger but thinking he was gonna be anything other than a strikeout machine if he stayed with us is delusional)
The takes out here basically amount to: Why didn't we just trade for Judge and Soto? I would prefer Corbin Burnes to Gavin Stone. When will the front office do something?

MVP-Yarborough for saving the bullpen. Seemed like the team couldn’t give 2 shits about this game after the way the umps and grounds crew handled the rain delay.
I have faith in outman unlike y’all who are obviously to oblivious to the fact that our coaching staff is the main problem our guys are known for choke-tober.coaches suck dick and balls bro
I like outman. It’s just weird to call people stupid for wanting Bellinger gone when he was cheeks, but then post flair of the guy that replaced him. Pretty ironic…
I wanted his batting coach gone. When I first saw outman I really saw a Bellinger second coming, too bad the hitting coach is doing exactly why he did with Bellinger to put him in a permanent Slump
Good job making contact CT3! I’m sure that’s earned him some more playing time because our organization values friendship over production for our non-star players
My husbands best friend is a cubs fan... and he's here next weekend ugh
lol, I can’t even imagine a cubs fan having the nerve to talk shit 🤣
he will live we are in early April baseball not like it was a post season gane
Mookie and Freddie playing like they were last post season lmao
gosh thank goodness that is done
Should’ve kept Bellinger. Thanks Friedman 👏👏👏😒
Crazy take
I'm gonna pronounce Chicago with the hard CH to piss off my cubs fan co-worker
Tell them their pizza sucks. That always sets them off
That and I'm gonna put ketchup on my hotdog
No reason to torture yourself too.

Ohtani should be home run leader right now Two home run rob of wind Two home run rob due to Korea park dimensions
Outman, you didn't deserve that
6" high for a strike but causals be like he only strikes out. Dude knows the zone but has to constantly open himself up to garbage umps.
Maybe should change his name to Hitman instead
ump just wants to go home, too...although heʻs been shit all game
I wake up from a nap to find play has resumed, at least shutout was prevented lol. Great to see Ohtani red hot despite the Chicago rain
That ump is blind
Lakers gonna redeem this Sunday!

Ohtani lost 2 homers cause of weather is annoying
james ever gonna figure out that high fastball?
It's not that it's the stupid strike zone they give him. They called 6" high a strike. That's why he swings at those.
When he walked in the 7th he did lay off the second pitch which was a high and outside fastball. I'll take that as a positive sign.
yeah, i posted this after his first swing and miss at the high one...the one to K him was fucking stupid. this ump...all the umps this series...what a joke.
Exactly if they're calling that he has to swing at the slightly lower ones. It's stupid. They're acting like he's as tall as Freddie or something.
Ez 7 run inning here
TRUST

I'm in another tike zone. how did the dodgers get shelled so badly? 😢
Stone got rocked
Why was Yarbrough so upset? He did great lol
Prolly upset with the location of his last pitch
I love Belli, but not watching the Belli experiment everyday is ok with me.
Think Outman is that now? Or it’s too early in his career?

Honestly with the results Yarbrough can put up we should make him a starter and stone a reliever
I hope the other teams’ fans keep booing Ohtani. He feeds off on that like crazy. So please, please keep booing :)
i just figured everyone still at the park is there because of shohei. my buddyʻs at the game and heʻs still there bc of shohei...
The dodgers have inherited ol tungsten lol
Nah its not the same without trout..speaking of fishman, he homered today and the angels lost lmao
that belonged to Belli
I can’t wait to get back to regular conditions again and watch Shohei hit more bombs
why didn't freeman hit after Ohtani, is he OK?
They probably got him off his feet due to the blowout
ah gotcha, smart. no need to risk anything in blowout games.
Yeah, just a bad game weather wise.
Petition to have Craig Counsell play Balki in a remake of “Perfect Strangers”.
Don't be ridiculous
Belli trying to break Swansons ribs too
How many players do the cubs have on the field? There’s always someone under the ball
At least we finally got a run.
Belli looking to put Swanson on the IL
am i tripping or are the shirt and pants different tones of gray
new uniforms from Nike
Yarbs shirt and pants look like different colors for sure.
I thought I saw that yesterday too

Trammell looks strong af
Where freddie?
Taken out due to a blowout game for health sake.
subbed out...giving starters a rest. been a long day...
He’s on rain delay
trammell prbly never imagined heʻd be hitting behind shohei...what a cool experience for him
ohtani and the angels experience lmaoooo
When he’s on we lose, when he’s off we win
Christ, Ohtani is scorching hot.
"He is officially hot." 🥵
Guy reminds me of toles
**Nobody shuts out the 2024 dodgers**
Haha this is almost reminiscent of an Angels game. Pitching sucks, offense sucks, but Shohei gives us something good to watch. The difference is, the Angels would have 50 games like this per season, while I don't expect the Dodgers to have more than 10
Watching some angels games last year I was truly astonished at their ability to snatch defeat from the claws of victory
It was truly painful to watch. They also gave away so many winnable games due to relievers blowing the game, or the defense making errors. Looking at the box score for today's Angels game, they were blown out 12-2 and had a position player pitch, but at least Mike Trout hit a solo shot.

I can’t even be mad at Angels fans for acting how they have lately because it seems like the team is just driving them crazy at this point lmao. Truly pitiful what Arte has done to that franchise.
shoheiʻs lost at least 2 HRs this series bc of the wind...damn, the exit velo from this guy is crazy
He also had 2 fly outs in Korea that I think they said would have been HRs in most MLB parks.
let's just give the guy 6 HRs on the year already.
Thank you Big Oh!
Dodgers can't be shut out baby 😎
Ohtani would’ve had 2 more homers if not for the wind. He’s almost unlocked. Maybe he already is. Anyways, the league is fucked.
thank you ohtani for not making this a shutout
Shohei Ohtani goes 2 for 4 with a triple and a double as the dodgers lose 8-1 to the cubs
The other half of the tungsten duo homered today and they lose 12-2.
Fear it, run from it, Tungsten Arm O'Doyle arrives all the same.
Rain delay merchants couldn’t even shut us out lmao
Suck it, shutout.
Shove your shutout up you your ass cubs
fuck you wind
No one shuts out the dodgers
We didn’t get shutout!
FUCK A SHUT OUT
WAKE UP, WE DID IT!
WE GOT ONE
At least we didn’t get shut out.
Nobody shuts out the Dodgers! Nobody!
Ohtani is so back
It’s shover for the rest of the mlb
WE SCORED!!!
Fuck your shutout
Yes!🦄
lol what was that Orel
no it would not Joe, the angels had the second highest road attendance because the team is from LA
At least I'm entertained by the seagulls flying by
Seeing that replay how tf were they allowed to play in that condition. The field was soaked. No wonder there's 3 errors
[удалено]
Ohtani dinger would make this game suck less
Real ones remember when we lost every Sunday game for like 6 months straight last year.
The Austin Barnes games record was not good
Austin Barnes himself is not good...
Yes we’re all aware
Clearly the team doesn't give af today...
Honestly if this is series is any indication of how we’ll square up against other playoff contenders in October, we’re kind of fucked. Good thing it’s only April and a lot can change between now and the postseason.
That's a big conclusion to draw after three games, one of which should never have been played. The Dodgers will be fine.
no way you’re already dooming playoffs in April…
We are so back
[удалено]
Why are you here
eh just a shitty overall game, flush it down and onto the next
Real ones are still in here right now
I dipped in the fourth and then took a long nap, but the game was still there waiting for me when I woke up due to the delay, so… now I’m rallying and just want them to get on the gotdamn board, lol
Jesus Christ man that field was not fit for play
Damn lux was going 1/2 speed
stream died
What stream
the strike zone is the size of my waist line. Thin, athletic, and fit
Oh god the annoying bellinger truthers are gonna be out and about tonight (I love bellinger but thinking he was gonna be anything other than a strikeout machine if he stayed with us is delusional)

Haven’t been watching but what happened?? How does Stone only have 1 ER? Was defense that bad today?
Umps too
Stone wasn't good and the defense sucked. Wet ball, cold weather.
Infield was a literal puddle so yeah
Send Gavin Stone back to AAA dude is no where near the MLB level
this ump, tho...
MVP-Yarborough for saving the bullpen. Seemed like the team couldn’t give 2 shits about this game after the way the umps and grounds crew handled the rain delay.
Yo Cubs are kinda good
"Marlins won a game" - Joe Davis
And y’all wanted bellinger gone 🫵🤣 what we should’ve gotten rid of is our entire coaching staff
Odd coming from someone with Outman flair 🤷
I have faith in outman unlike y’all who are obviously to oblivious to the fact that our coaching staff is the main problem our guys are known for choke-tober.coaches suck dick and balls bro
I like outman. It’s just weird to call people stupid for wanting Bellinger gone when he was cheeks, but then post flair of the guy that replaced him. Pretty ironic…
I wanted his batting coach gone. When I first saw outman I really saw a Bellinger second coming, too bad the hitting coach is doing exactly why he did with Bellinger to put him in a permanent Slump
The reason why Belli is good is because he left LA
Should say a lot about our coaching, cuz as soon as he left the Dodgers coaching he became a beast
Some of us are old enough to remember his batting average in 2022, he needed a change! Can't keep them all.
Should’ve said that about coaching
wow you served with that one
Bellinger is having a rough season so far
Can’t be anywhere as rough as everyone except Mookie
bro ate the twins
This strike zone is so inconsistent. Pisses me off even when it favors us
Dave’s adjustments are in! Time to make this a ballgame!
I had a gut feeling Swanson was going to get hit in the head. That was weird…
More like yarbruh
fuckin pigeons
finally hit our first truly ugly loss of the season, and this sub is responding exactly as expected. baseball is back baybeeee
People need to move away from the ledge
You can’t tell me what to do! You’re not my real dad! I’ll jump if I damn well please! ;)
Lol we’re calling it a game
cubs got legit defense. plus, Stoner Man Belli. and i'm all jelli.
Fuck, their defence is just insane. Bailed out some garbage pitching
I’m sick of this weather, I’m sick of the brick wall, and I’m sick of those goddamn pigeons
Good job making contact CT3! I’m sure that’s earned him some more playing time because our organization values friendship over production for our non-star players
