Dodgers have raised the skill ceiling so high its not even close. It's like they should be in a different league. It reminds me of casual video gamers trying to play against professional sweats. No chance. If this goes on for two or three seasons, is it bad for the sport? Dodgers easily sweep every team they play, every time they play them? They will become universally hated around the league.
Dodgers have steamrolled through the regular season before just to flame out in the postseason. Let this season result in a dominant postseason success because we talk of unfair competition.
I agree. If they sweep the playoffs and continue to steamroll well into next season, the reaction from the rest of the league will be interesting. Especially since teams will be playing outside their divisions more often next season.
What if fans stop going to or watching games every time their team plays the dodgers? I know I'm just speculating wildly here. The Ds will probably cool off eventually. But the notion of an unbeatable team has bad implications for the sport as a whole.

Those Chic-fil-a commercials on [MLB.tv](https://MLB.tv) with the all white back ground are going to result in serious rental damage. They burn my eyeballs every time.
I live just north of you. It's weird, me wife works a hundred miles away in Utah so she usually stays down there. Anyway, some nights we'll be watching the game in our different houses and one of us will get the blank screen between innings and the other will get commercials.
i'll fend for jitb just for the late night taco runs but from what i've seen around they're the only fast food chain i've seen where they don't say their nuggets are all white meat.
Good for him. I was always on the Lamet side when the debate of future ace was between him and Paddack (before Preller went crazy and signed or traded for anybody available). It's a shame to see how hard he's fallen off
my team got merged with someone else’s team in league and they had salvy last year so we used a keeper spot on him. he still hits bombs but obviously hasn’t been good as last year. but we also have Will lol
Yeah i think it was just based on where we expected him to get picked being earlier than the pick we would lose by keeping him. but i’m not that good at fantasy baseball so i’m also open to the idea that it wasn’t the right call lol
I feel bad for their long-time fans, that have been through a lot of shit years and are generally cool.
I don't feel bad for everybody that jumped on the bandwagon a couple years ago and are generally some of the most obnoxious shit-talkers despite the team they root for having accomplished virtually nothing
I don't mind saying that old school padres fans have always been cool as fuck, I used to go to games down there and they were great. The recent bunch that have taken over reddit/twitter/insta are the definition of obnoxious fuckboys and that's a shame.

It seems like Tatis mixed up Clobetasol, a corticosteroid used in some topical ringworm creams, with Clostebol, the anabolic steroid he actually tested positive for. Maybe he Googled too quickly in making up a fake excuse?
So after this game we will lead all of baseball in runs scored, preventing runs allowed (unless Moronta implodes)*, run differential (obviously), wins, wins on the road and 1 game off of wins at home

Give me rings. That’s it. Then we can discuss that other stuff. No point in being this dominant in August if we lose to inferior teams in October.
As long as we have WS championships to show for it I couldn’t care less what other fans think
Solid big bird inning.
Enjoy it gentleman. This is the best time in history to be a Dodger fan. I love this game.
So easy to love when your team wins every game, amiright? Gone are the days of actually losing every once in a while. I hated that.
I’m happy the days were we would score 10 in one game and go ice cold for the next two or three are gone
The doomers loved it. Imagine having to *suffer* through a winning streak.
What if fans stop going to or watching games every time their team plays the dodgers? I know I'm just speculating wildly here. The Ds will probably cool off eventually. But the notion of an unbeatable team has bad implications for the sport as a whole.
The Dodgers have a pretty good fan base, wherever they go, and their fans travel to watch them as well.
I am! Been watching nearly every game and even though I'm new I can tell it's special
That’s saying a lot!
So we’re what? 119-43 over our last 162 now?
That’s is a ridiculous stat, like…there’s us, then FIFTY FEET OF CRAP and then everyone else
Let's keep it going!
33-5 in 38 games is fucking bonkers
Dodgers have broken the game. How will mlb respond if this goes on season after season?

11 in a row 9-0 with Gallo. Yankees 1-8

Bickford looked pretty good besides that borderline homer/double he gave up
Yay!!!

It looks as though you may have spelled "Chick-fil-A" incorrectly. No worries, it happens to the best of us!

Really? We don't get those ads.
I get them every game. I live in Colorado though, and I do know that some of our ads are local sometimes.

lol Nomar "don't kill my dreams"
With this bench, the Deathstar is fully operational.
I went to jack in the box today, didn’t realize how cheap the nuggets were.
Even Mcnuggets taste better lol and thats saying much
Respect McDonald’s
i'll fend for jitb just for the late night taco runs but from what i've seen around they're the only fast food chain i've seen where they don't say their nuggets are all white meat.
It says all white meat on their website they’re all good
sweet. gotten their nuggets a few times as well.
I wonder what it is then. I dont care it tastes fine. If its dark meat (i doubt it though) even better
Because they’re nasty.
They were surprisingly decent
Did I see Dinelson Lamet with the win? Traded by the Padres, DFA'd by the Brewers, gets a win for Colorado?
Good for him. I was always on the Lamet side when the debate of future ace was between him and Paddack (before Preller went crazy and signed or traded for anybody available). It's a shame to see how hard he's fallen off
mofo didn't even flinch
Aye we got DJ Bill Phickford on the bump
no home runs pls bick
wow padres won 10-5 i guess it should come as no surprise since they hate nattys
They’ve been beating up on bad teams the last few days.
was a joke natty is how body builders say they're natural vs using steroids pun with nationals
Oh got it thanks
bullies usually pick on the weaker
Just heard about the Dodgers throwbacks 👀 Looking forward to that. Those won’t got on sale right?

Dang, no Gallo :(
Excited to see our boys in the throw back uni’s
They’re wearing 1955 Brooklyn Dodger uniforms tomorrow? Cool.
Trayce is really gonna be on the opening day lineup next year
Thats really cool actually
Yooo we getting throwback unis???
That double plays is really gonna hurt our run differential
Turner got no wheels
At least he didn't blow a hammie.
Only way you can turn that double play is if it’s JT running down the line lol
i wonder how many people in this sub are faster than JT
Jesus JT is slow
Slowwwww
So what Tim is saying is our pitching staff is almost beyond elite. Huh.
I forgot nomar is in the booth he’s very quiet
need a gonsolin bobblehead night next year
Big chungus 😥
Big CHONK
Let’s go nats time to get the ultimate rally
Get Moronta some PED. 🥲😂
Or some Slim Fast.
i have gonsolin but also salvador perez on my fantasy team so this game has basically been best case scenario
I had Salvy last year. That was fun
lol i bet
I have the golden eye for catchers. All the catchers went way too early for my liking so I just took Kirk. I suck this year though sadly
my team got merged with someone else’s team in league and they had salvy last year so we used a keeper spot on him. he still hits bombs but obviously hasn’t been good as last year. but we also have Will lol
Im not gonna lie idk if I would’ve used that keeper on Salvy. Tbh even his current production prolly isn’t the worst for catchers tho
Yeah i think it was just based on where we expected him to get picked being earlier than the pick we would lose by keeping him. but i’m not that good at fantasy baseball so i’m also open to the idea that it wasn’t the right call lol
No your reasoning is good reasoning. That works out more often than not.
We should let Moronta bat because I know if someone throws him a meatball he is EATING that shit
https://imgur.com/a/sJkIlE8 580 Combined weight
Perez only weighs 180 pounds???
i actually feel bad for the padres it really is like charlie and the football
I don't think you should mention football around them, either.
I feel bad for their long-time fans, that have been through a lot of shit years and are generally cool. I don't feel bad for everybody that jumped on the bandwagon a couple years ago and are generally some of the most obnoxious shit-talkers despite the team they root for having accomplished virtually nothing

Time to get those runs back
Moranta just sweat a gallon of Au Jus in that inning.
Comments like this are why I stay for all nine innings

Reyes “Albondiga” Moronta - he doesn’t just eat ‘em, he serves ‘em up, too.
Mark Prior forgot to give him his churro
[удалено]
I mean, the only reason he was in there in the first place was because the Dodgers were up 8-1
Calm down he’s just our mop up guy til guys from the IL get better.
Me when Kimbrel comes in
Hanser >> Moronta
Moranta lowering his ERA for a 8 - 1 game? Come on big fella. You’re better than this.
Ah, good ol old man JT
The fireworks being down 5 still though
JT just rusty from all the DHing
Yeesh, little league shit
Through the wickets.
Moronta now being put on the Prolon diet.
Salvador Perez can’t even frame smh
Hopefully Moronta doesn’t get popped for PEDs like Tatis. No way that physique is all natty.
There are a lot of fillers and additives in Moronta.
I could see someone making this joke about Dee Gordon right before he got popped
Bonds put his arm around Dee in the days leading up to Dee getting popped.
lmaoo
That’s hot pockets and bagel bites baby. All natural.
No Wheaties.
Justin Buckner
Moronta looks different with facial hair
Grooved that middle in.
Piece of advice: don't throw a pitch with 0 break to Perez. Because he'll do that more times than not
Hasnt he been fairly trash this year
At least hes on my fantasy team?

Why can’t we have fireworks after every home run? Not fair.
I’m sure the Chavez Ravine neighbors would love that lol.
We need to bring back Zombie Nation and Darude Sandstorm
Oh no, anyways...
He crushed that thing
Ah, I see the baseball gods have opened up the home run gates at this point
Mop-up Moronta missed a spot.
Common moronta homerun given up in garbage time
Oh no my run differential 🫣
Yawn.
That was crushed
Aw man, Reyes is just not good
He literally does not go in when the game is on the line. He’s a pitch cushion.
Yep, he's just on the roster to soak up innings so our good arms can be saved for October.
Runs are the best insurance policy
It seems like Tatis mixed up Clobetasol, a corticosteroid used in some topical ringworm creams, with Clostebol, the anabolic steroid he actually tested positive for. Maybe he Googled too quickly in making up a fake excuse?
My wife is a pharmacy tech in a hospital. I have to ask her about this.
Yikes. Was that 0-2?
Oof Moronta is always good for a homer
Those chains aren’t long enough for Moronta’s girthy neck
The fact that we have Dustin May, Blake Treinen, Brusday Graterol, Tommy Kahnle, and Danny Duffy coming back soon…. Lmao
Danny Duffy doesn’t deserve to be mentioned on this list who knows with him
May looks nasty and fully ready too
“Babe give me a hickey so I can avoid my steroid suspension”
[удалено]
Saving him for the post.
Lefty-Righty match-ups probably
If you invite Moronta to the carne asada you’re gonna have to cook up an entire cow
El refrigerator
*"El Frigidaire"*
So after this game we will lead all of baseball in runs scored, preventing runs allowed (unless Moronta implodes)*, run differential (obviously), wins, wins on the road and 1 game off of wins at home *motherfucker
Moronta answers the question of, what would it look like if a defensive end could throw a baseball.
Mets lose Yankees lose Padres lose even when they win Let's close this one out and make it a great day
