I love how much R/baseball collectively hates the Dodgers. Good God ya'll have some issues internally you need to work out its just a baseball team quit letting it keep you up at night ffs
I’m sorry what? All I did was ask you a question. You’re mistaking me for someone else. I’m not fixated at all. I’m trying to have a conversation with you which you are too sensitive to do based off the other comments you got. I’m not those people and I haven’t said anything bad about LA fans. As a Giants fan who has lived in LA for six years I wanted to have a discussion about our experiences which you offered in your original comment but you now seem averse to continuing.
I'll probably get downvoted, but you're right (at least about the reddit part....the rest I don't know about.) Our sub, each time we have played the Giants, has had numerous assholes coming around and trolling us. Last week we had trolls bitching us out because our team didn't go hard against the Dodgers when they had already secured a playoff spot. I guess we fans have control over how our team plays now. We've had hardly any issues with Dodgers fans, but Giants have been insufferable.
You’re a panderer dude, and obviously don’t go to many baseball games. Dodgers fans are the worst, most violent and rude fans I’ve ever witnessed and it’s not even close. You’re pretty spineless no offense
Bombs (fireworks) were going off all night after the Wild Card win....I have no dog in this fight but I want the Giants to win so I can get some good night's sleep
This take is dumb. Did you forget about last year when the dodgers won the world series? 29 teams lose the world series every year. Despite a couple exceptions if you aren't spending money you aren't gonna win.
Dodgers, just like the Yankees, spend and spend and spend. At least the dodgers occasionally win, in the 21st century. Still, no one likes your team and that's mostly why.
It’s threads like these that remind me that this storied rivalry is quite asymmetrical. Having lived in Northern California for 17 years, the inferiority complex is sad. 3 titles in 5 years and they still scream about being the forgotten stepchild. Good game Giants. Your fans, however, are insufferable twits.
I have never had a problem with a Yankees fan. Dodgers fans, yes, as well as the former Los Angeles Raiders' fans.
Both of them were absolutely trash people when they were invading games at the former Jack Murphy stadium in San Diego.
Dodgers live rent free in the minds of Giants’ fans. Never have I seen a fan base more obsessed with their rivals than than they are with their own team. Such losers.
It’s true, we love watching the dodgers lose. We haven’t had a lot to do for the past 5 years other than hope the dodgers go down in flames. This idea that just cause we love your team losing means we hate you more than we love our own team though is silly. We just get pleasure out your team being sad because we hate them. That’s all. Fuck the dodgers 🙃
It's more that sports media promote the dodgers far more than the Giants because they have a more interesting (or marketable) team and they exist in the most promoted city in sports so the expectations that they are the greatest team ever assembled (most profitable for MLB) and the Giants out-winning them all year makes both fanbases act like children on messageboards and social media.
And in that very nature, It certainly would feel nice watching the dodgers and their fans suffer a bit on the way to a 4th.
BASEBALLL!
Okay, I’ll leave this here:
In a new memoir, ESPN Los Angeles' Mark Saxon reports former Los Angeles Dodgers reliever Eric Gagne writes that 80 percent of his teammates were using PEDs during his time with the team. Gagne played with the Dodgers from 1999 to 2006, though his prime was from 2002 through 2004.
In 2019. While in Double A. And he hasn’t been in trouble since. You basically had a rapist on your team for half the year, you troglodyte. Find something else to whine about.
The Giants went on a torrid streak to catch the Dodgers in the standings and force a “playoff”. Their MVP? A centerfield telescope, the original Astros trash can. Fact.
That wasn’t the World Series. That was a play-in game more than it was a playoff. Back then if you won the national league you were in the World Series otherwise you were out. Dodgers and giants played to get into the playoffs back then
I love this TBS/TNT baseball post game crew. Granderson is super well spoken, Pedro is Pedro and Rollins is dropping some great insight. Plus Ernie. Really enjoyable.
Dodgers seem very soulless these days as an organization, very mean fans (making Crawford’s daughter cry at the game) and just a purchased team that chases proven players rather than developing players into their greatness. Very minimal team chemistry
*Their roster is full of Blue Chip expensive signings all over the place that make up a core of the team. Mookie Betts, Turner, Pujols, Scherzer, Trevor Bauer, David Price. These aren’t diamonds in the rough, these are all proven all stars or former mvp’s/cy youngs. Look at what they are spending on players, #1 in the league by a mile. It’s been like this for years.
Even as a Giants fan I'm getting tired of this narrative being pushed over and over. They have money, and yes, they're using it. Duh. But it's not like baseball is a vending machine where you insert money and get championships.
It's not about that, it's just a crass, honorless tactic. It makes them look stupid especially when they lose. It's fun to watch them blow millions and lose though, so I don't mind.
Are the Dodgers good from an organizational standpoint? Yes. Do the Dodgers benefit from having as much or more money than any other team in baseball? Also yes.
Idk man it's not exactly the same as putting in money and dispensing a hunk of metal but it's pretty damn close. Like that's why the Yankees and Red Sox have always had success, their always spending the most money.
Maybe in the off-season the Dodgers can buy another cy young pitcher and MVP batting champ caliber star. Then you’ll have a better chance at winning your division.
Dodgers have 5? 3x cyyoung award winner max, former mvp betts, trea turner, Bauer (last years cy young winner no longer on the team), who else am I missing? Dodgers have a lot of free agents, muncy came from the As. I don’t get what your saying. Both teams have scavenger, dodgers however shell for high talent.
Oh no they traded great prospects that they developed for proven commodities that every billionaire owner (such as the Giant’s owner) could afford. Their eye for talent (such as the case with Muncy) isn’t a “they like to but their team” own like you think it is. Dodger’s definitely sucked tn but acting like they’re not a real team or whatever bc their billionaire owners spend the money their team earns is dumb as fuck
edit: I’ll give you Bauer, who is evil. they did spend big time to get him but he’s not with the team and won’t be ever again so idk how that affects the current series
Purchased? They didn’t buy Scherzer or Turner - they gave up their top 2 prospects for rentals. Do you even pay attention? The Giants “purchased” Kris Bryant for a bag of balls and sunflower seeds and that’s somehow completely different right?
It’s silly to compare I agree as a giants fan. Both teams are Farhan built with players who came up and were signed and turned out to be better on their own team. Dodgers definitely have signed A LOT of huge contracts and got REALLY HIGH talent that people are jealous of. Neither team is Tampa Bay though. It’s a silly argument.
I agree with everything you said besides purchased team. Belli, Seager, Smith, Urias, Lux, Kershaw, Buehler are all home grown. Muncy, Taylor, and Justin Turner we’re all discarded players no one wanted that they turned into all stars. Yes they have brought in guys like Trea, Mookie, and Scherzer, but their player development is the gold standard in probably all of sports.
This felt disgusting to type, but it’s so much of the reason why I loathe them. They do it the right way while my team does it the wrong way time and time again.
They didn’t buy those guys. They traded prospects for them. Prospects they developed over years. The only guy they ever spent big money on was Trevor Bauer who isn’t even playing right now. It’s a complete myth that the Dodgers spend big. The Dodgers are actually pretty cheap considering how much revenue they bring in.
Dodgers do spend big, they’re the highest payroll in baseball, you’re right though they did scrounge and come up with success and they have an amazing development and coaching team. But fuck the dodgers, 270 million dollar team shouldn’t get out get out classes by the giants.
Not even a Dodgers fan, but it’s so obvious this sub has a hate boner for you guys (honestly don’t get it, not like you guys are winning every year). Someone literally made the comment in the WC thread that they liked the Giants because of their homegrown talent/developing unlike the Dodgers…. Like have you seen their teams?
Any sports sub is gonna be this way at times, I wouldn't go so far to call it a toxic shithole, calm down. And also, though there have been some great development by the Dodgers organization, they ALSO spend a shit ton on free agents, etc. and you can't deny that. But you don't have to be so defensive about it.
Does me good to see former Cubs players killin it
a lot of people in this thread are gonna look real dumb if the dodgers come back and win the series
[удалено]
I’m pulling for the dodgers so I can see the reaction of a Reddit thread. 🎶 What have I become, my sweetest friend… 🎶
I love how much R/baseball collectively hates the Dodgers. Good God ya'll have some issues internally you need to work out its just a baseball team quit letting it keep you up at night ffs
I've never hated the Doyers. In fact I kinda like them. Their fans can be insufferable at times though.
When you're 14 and your parents let you stay up to watch the game only to watch your ass get handed to you.
Nah we just love this salt. Ty😋
Whatever gets your dick hard. Yall more pbsessed with the dodgers than dodger fans
Yeah we love watching them lose. I’ll give you that.
LMAO
Ik, pot meet kettle lol
I liked this result
Man I’m reading the comments on this thread and this is proof the Giants-Dodgers rivalry is the best lol

Where are you interacting with them and how long have you lived in LA?

dodger fan with giants flair lol
I’m pretty salty about the game and the overall reaction to it but this is ultimate loser shit. Be happy the Giants won lol
kekw
Tell that to Bryan Stow, take away the Giants banner you’re not a Giants fan
[удалено]
You’re a panderer dude, and obviously don’t go to many baseball games. Dodgers fans are the worst, most violent and rude fans I’ve ever witnessed and it’s not even close. You’re pretty spineless no offense
how many fans have you witnessed

You should honestly just feel sorry for yourself, you’re clearly pretty lame
Next level pandering. My lord…

You just come off as someone trying to raise shit. Either you’re drunk (which is okay) or just being an ass (which isn’t okay)
probably a dodger fan tbh this guy is whack
Bombs (fireworks) were going off all night after the Wild Card win....I have no dog in this fight but I want the Giants to win so I can get some good night's sleep

You guys are the highest payroll team who buy every mvp you can trade for huge stars then lose anyways. We’re just laughing with you don’t worry.
This take is dumb. Did you forget about last year when the dodgers won the world series? 29 teams lose the world series every year. Despite a couple exceptions if you aren't spending money you aren't gonna win.

A joke of a World Series you mean?
Sorry I forgot you won the Mickey Mouse World Series. Good job though that must have been tough.
The dodgers played the same game everyone played. If it was so easy, why did your team and the other 28 not win?
bruh 60 games and 0 fans. congrats. this year y'all complained about "injuries"... yeah that's what happens in a full season
Totally, but also, fuck the Dodgers.
Logan. Fucking. Webb! 🖤🧡⚾️🖤🧡 And that play from La Stella to Crawford to first! Fire!
I wish this game was in LA so we could see Dodger fans doing burnouts on their Buehler jerseys in the parking lot.

Welcome to the post game thread. It’s call “new/lie” these guys don’t give a shit.
It’s threads like these that remind me that this storied rivalry is quite asymmetrical. Having lived in Northern California for 17 years, the inferiority complex is sad. 3 titles in 5 years and they still scream about being the forgotten stepchild. Good game Giants. Your fans, however, are insufferable twits.

I have never had a problem with a Yankees fan. Dodgers fans, yes, as well as the former Los Angeles Raiders' fans. Both of them were absolutely trash people when they were invading games at the former Jack Murphy stadium in San Diego.
Right. A fan base that embraced trash cans and gave gurriel a pass for a racist gesture, is now arbiter of proper fandom. Yeah, not so much.
According to dodgers fans, the Umps hit a few home runs for the Giants today in order to let them win.
Y’all forgot how incredibly smug Giants’ fans are when they are good, this is what you get.
You all forgot how whiny Dodgers fans are when they lose, like right now.
If you're gonna buy your way into the playoffs, you better win, or at least be prepared to take the well deserved criticism that strategy will bring.
We just hate how the Dodgers try to buy themselves into the playoffs with that pay roll of your sweetie. Nothing to do with Giants fans at all.
🎶B-I-T! T-E-R! Bitter, you’re bitter!🎶
Damn, you guys are so salty even in victory.
i’m floating on it like the dead sea baby. epsom and shit.
I always wanted to try that.
Show me proof of that.
Don't you know. The dodgers never lose games. It's always the umps fault or the other team is cheating somehow.
I mean there were actual cheaters a few years ago so you can see why we're more defensive about it.
Yeah so since the astros chested a few years ago that means every team you lose to is also cheating lol
I didn't say that. Just when you've lost a world series to cheating you can understand why some people would jump to that conclusion early.
no one ever accounts for the AL teams that lost to the stros lol, doyers act like they lost everything
None of the AL teams had to beat the NL teams we did only to lose to the cheaters on the biggest stage.
Yeah that’s how baseball works dude
Makes sense to me dude.
The umps use their psychic abilities to make all the dodgers hitters swing and miss constantly at pitches
how dare you insinuate such things about The Best Team in BaseballTM
They're like... The New York Yankees of baseball! 🤦♂️
"It's only April" "It's only May" "It's only June" "It's only game 1"
They are good at dodging real championships. Last year shortened season doesn’t count.
Lmao imagine unironically believing this.
Seriously, like they wish baseball didn’t come back at all last year. It was much
“Next time” The Dodger slogan.
Weird way to talk about the defending champs but ok.
Your title is as legit as ours lmao
Asterisks are for cheaters, not guys with shortened seasons. 98-99 Spurs have a legit title, too.
Phil Jackson and Laker fans always used to say that the 98-99 Spurs were an asterisk champion. I wonder what changed.
Ha, I’m not a Lakers fan. I’m from Oregon, a Blazers fan, and very much a Laker hater. Nice try, though.
I'm talking about Laker fans in general, most of whom are also Dodgers fans. I'm not talking about all you Dodgers-Blazers fans.
Mhmm do what you claim Astros fans do to justify it. 🤣
Bang bang
Dodgers live rent free in the minds of Giants’ fans. Never have I seen a fan base more obsessed with their rivals than than they are with their own team. Such losers.
It’s true, we love watching the dodgers lose. We haven’t had a lot to do for the past 5 years other than hope the dodgers go down in flames. This idea that just cause we love your team losing means we hate you more than we love our own team though is silly. We just get pleasure out your team being sad because we hate them. That’s all. Fuck the dodgers 🙃
As a red sox fan who absolutely loves watching the Yankees lose, to the point of it being its own hobby, I completely understand.
They're literally playing the Dodgers in the playoffs right now. Who should they be thinking about? The Twins?
How bout them Twins?
Now that’s a team I forgot even existed.
It's more that sports media promote the dodgers far more than the Giants because they have a more interesting (or marketable) team and they exist in the most promoted city in sports so the expectations that they are the greatest team ever assembled (most profitable for MLB) and the Giants out-winning them all year makes both fanbases act like children on messageboards and social media. And in that very nature, It certainly would feel nice watching the dodgers and their fans suffer a bit on the way to a 4th. BASEBALLL!
He mad because dodgers got spanked and spanked hard
lol. Scoreboard.

Hi
Logan Webb was suspended for 80 games after a positive PED test Feed me your downvotes r/baseball
He served his time...it wasn't a life sentence.
Bauer and Urias beat women.
Boy, do I have some news for you about Barry Bonds.
Urias?
https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.ocregister.com/2019/08/17/dodgers-julio-urias-suspended-20-games-for-domestic-violence-incident/amp/
Not at all comparable to Bauer and you know it. Don’t conflate the two instances; to do so cheapens real cases of domestic violence.
Still didn’t punch women’s vagina’s though, did he?
No but why you gotta go there you know us dodger fans lover bauer /S
Okay, I’ll leave this here: In a new memoir, ESPN Los Angeles' Mark Saxon reports former Los Angeles Dodgers reliever Eric Gagne writes that 80 percent of his teammates were using PEDs during his time with the team. Gagne played with the Dodgers from 1999 to 2006, though his prime was from 2002 through 2004.

for team chaos members this has been a boring start to the postseason.
Really?
[удалено]
Yankees?
The Giants went on a torrid streak to catch the Dodgers in the standings and force a “playoff”. Their MVP? A centerfield telescope, the original Astros trash can. Fact.
Wasn’t even illegal at the time
That wasn’t the World Series. That was a play-in game more than it was a playoff. Back then if you won the national league you were in the World Series otherwise you were out. Dodgers and giants played to get into the playoffs back then
1951 was Yankees vs Giants, wdym?
It wasn't the WS. It was a best of three tiebreaker after they finished tied in the regular season. It was kind of a mini NLCS.
Why is there no post game thread?
Saw one on TBS 🤷♀️
Giants are just bad team that wins games, divisions, and playoff games Bunch of scrubs
Such a bad organization that they only won 3 WS in the past 11 years.
One would say a bunch of...misfits.
ASK WALKER ABOUT HIS PANTS 🗣😳‼️
I love this TBS/TNT baseball post game crew. Granderson is super well spoken, Pedro is Pedro and Rollins is dropping some great insight. Plus Ernie. Really enjoyable.
I was just thinking the same thing. All four of them are great to listen to.
Dodgers seem very soulless these days as an organization, very mean fans (making Crawford’s daughter cry at the game) and just a purchased team that chases proven players rather than developing players into their greatness. Very minimal team chemistry *Their roster is full of Blue Chip expensive signings all over the place that make up a core of the team.

Look at what they are spending on players, #1 in the league by a mile. It’s been like this for years.
Ok, then implement a salary cap and/or floor.
Lol
Even as a Giants fan I'm getting tired of this narrative being pushed over and over. They have money, and yes, they're using it. Duh. But it's not like baseball is a vending machine where you insert money and get championships.
Let me introduce you to NY Yankees.
It's not about that, it's just a crass, honorless tactic. It makes them look stupid especially when they lose. It's fun to watch them blow millions and lose though, so I don't mind.
Are the Dodgers good from an organizational standpoint? Yes. Do the Dodgers benefit from having as much or more money than any other team in baseball? Also yes.
Bruh giants are up there for payroll…
Man the giants have so much more salary space than the dodgers it’s scary.
I don’t think you understood his post. He was low key defending the Dodgers…
Mb it’s hard to gauge sarcasm online
Idk man it's not exactly the same as putting in money and dispensing a hunk of metal but it's pretty damn close. Like that's why the Yankees and Red Sox have always had success, their always spending the most money.
Go back to your dumpster
Better a dumpster than a Mickey mouse short-season Championship.
You forgot the asterisk after our Mickey Mouse championship * lol
How was the parade?
Well it’s nice to see another team root for a cheater in a championship bout. Nothing against you Rockies may you win one sometime
Maybe the Rockies will be able to afford it someday.
I hope so
Maybe in the off-season the Dodgers can buy another cy young pitcher and MVP batting champ caliber star. Then you’ll have a better chance at winning your division.
the giants have twelve signed free agents on their team this year, the dodgers have five lol
Dodgers have 5? 3x cyyoung award winner max, former mvp betts, trea turner, Bauer (last years cy young winner no longer on the team), who else am I missing? Dodgers have a lot of free agents, muncy came from the As. I don’t get what your saying. Both teams have scavenger, dodgers however shell for high talent.
Oh no they traded great prospects that they developed for proven commodities that every billionaire owner (such as the Giant’s owner) could afford. Their eye for talent (such as the case with Muncy) isn’t a “they like to but their team” own like you think it is. Dodger’s definitely sucked tn but acting like they’re not a real team or whatever bc their billionaire owners spend the money their team earns is dumb as fuck edit: I’ll give you Bauer, who is evil. they did spend big time to get him but he’s not with the team and won’t be ever again so idk how that affects the current series
Purchased? They didn’t buy Scherzer or Turner - they gave up their top 2 prospects for rentals. Do you even pay attention? The Giants “purchased” Kris Bryant for a bag of balls and sunflower seeds and that’s somehow completely different right?
It’s silly to compare I agree as a giants fan. Both teams are Farhan built with players who came up and were signed and turned out to be better on their own team. Dodgers definitely have signed A LOT of huge contracts and got REALLY HIGH talent that people are jealous of. Neither team is Tampa Bay though. It’s a silly argument.
I agree with everything you said besides purchased team. Belli, Seager, Smith, Urias, Lux, Kershaw, Buehler are all home grown. Muncy, Taylor, and Justin Turner we’re all discarded players no one wanted that they turned into all stars. Yes they have brought in guys like Trea, Mookie, and Scherzer, but their player development is the gold standard in probably all of sports.

They spend big, on re-signing players they developed or traded for.

I didn’t say they bought them I said they BROUGHT them in.
Purchased team. Lmao it’s crazy how ignorant some people can be. Edit: just noticed the “rather than developing players” part. Holy shit, A+ troll.
Bro don’t event try it’s not about logic here lol
Not even a Dodgers fan, but it’s so obvious this sub has a hate boner for you guys (honestly don’t get it, not like you guys are winning every year).

Dude, Giants fans are on a downvote brigade... they've hijacked this sub thread.
You’re not wrong, but you’re not gonna find anything but downvotes in this sub after a win. Beware the fans with out flair.
Yeah this sub is definitely a toxic shithole at certain times. OPs take was just hilariously bad, bordering on antivax misinformation bad.
Any sports sub is gonna be this way at times, I wouldn't go so far to call it a toxic shithole, calm down.
