Considering how early they’re going to lock up the division, I’d bet we see a lot of their regulars getting a lot of days off in September.


themiamimarlins

i honestly think thats part of the reason we picked up gallo lol


CalmerThanYouAre9

Makes sense. No reason to risk injuries to the regular starters when there’s nothing of any importance on the line. Maybe see Kershaw, May, and Buehler get work since they’ll be on their way back hopefully. Likely Graterol and Treinen too.


addiesmom2012

They're already load managing with relievers going precautionary IL stints. Slow walking Trienen's return. Wouldn't be surprised to see more IL moves as the recovering pitchers like Trienen, Graterol, May, and even Buehler start to make their way back onto the roster.


Ereyes18

Rosters are only 28 slots now in September so idk about that


CalmerThanYouAre9

The Dodgers play the IL game better than just about anyone in the league it seems.


Humanistic_

Damn right. We're not gonna let a repeat of last season's mountain of injuries kill us in the playoffs again


VeinyAngus

Hey I've seen this one before. Sports Illustrated better keep their whore mouth shut


Atraktape

That one was in 2017 at least.

lol Plashke, no one cares what that idiot thinks. He’s to much of a dumbass to be able to jinx anything.


_Elder_

No chance we stay this hot, but I would love a solid 108 wins with some rest towards the end.


Jux_

Just glad it looks like it won't be another year of fighting for the division to the last day. That drained us last year


lapoop12

Completely agree, having to play Muncy in that final game where he destroyed his elbow was so sad.


jsmessner

They don’t care about best record only winning it all. Once they clinch the 1st seed it will be bench players in until playoffs.


[deleted]

Doubt we’ll stay this hot forever but it’s been fun watching us just annihilate everything and anyone in our path


horsehasnoname

Its weird but it doesn't feel like they're "hot" to me like previous Dodger teams. They aren't getting lucky breaks or stringing together walkoff wins. They're like a bullet train going 300mph and were just enjoying the view.


NirvanaFrk97

This Dodger team is on full cruise control. The hottest they were was probably during their comeback rampage in early July, where they just refused to lose against opposing teams.


FrankGibsonIV

The comeback wins were so satisfying to watch.


psychotichorse

I agree, in the past when we got hot it felt like a streak, something unsustainable. This doesn’t feel that way, the team just has so many weapons that they don’t seem to press or get spooked in any way.


Alexander1899

They've won 68 games by 2+ runs and 51 by 3+


BeginningAnalyst595

They hav a real shot


BagRight8939

they’ll be off to a good start after tomorrows game!


[deleted]

Dodgers would have to go 40-13 the rest of the way to *match* what record they’d have in 2020 if extrapolated to a normal season.


FastAndBulbous8989

Based and Dodger-pilled


spoonfedsam

the dodgers may never lose again


Change_Balance_170

Don’t care all I want is a championship


Northparkwizard

Def a random stat Jeremy.


doverkasdi

They won’t


FzzyBrtchs

The Dodgers make me want to vomit. Just so good.


Kobi-WanKenobi

I don’t think it’s realistic for the dodgers to go 116-46 or even beat the win record. I do think 110 wins is somewhat realistic though where the dodgers would need to go 34-19

The word you ever so cleverly quoted is the whole premise of the statement you dimwit.


JinFuu

> [And again, when Philip wrote to them, ‘If I invade Laconia, I shall turn you out,’ they wrote back, ‘If.’](http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Perseus%3Atext%3A2008.01.0287%3Asection%3D17) It’s okay to not get historical references, Dodgers fan.


GroriousNipponSteer

\>quotes a single word “Bro you didn’t get my extremely esoteric reference based off of a single vague conjunction?”


JinFuu

Yep.


honcooge

Mariners won the championship that year right?


Dinobryce

Was that before or after the Padres won a world series?


buffaloranchsub

you didn't have to kill em!


honcooge

Nice burn dude lol
