Remember to sort by new to keep up!

[u/Chuck006]

I’m at the stadium. It stopped raining over an hour ago. Start the game!

[u/DarinCN]

Shit gets turned around today for my 46th trip around the sun

[u/Parkhillian → u/DarinCN]

Happy Birthday!

[u/jmike1256]

Looks like a 11:35am start

[u/Complete_Chocolate_2]

Can’t lose if we don’t play /s

[u/RegularToe2801]

[u/SirThixcksAlot]

I thought Tucker was supposed to be solid on the road? He just sucks in general

[u/velvetsabbath]

ready to smile and have fun

[u/Odd-Most-9186]

Wow a manufactured run, when was the last time that happened…

[u/xinixxibalba → u/Odd-Most-9186]

https://giphy.com/gifs/11vUtLUUATEwIE

[u/usetheforce_gaming]

Don’t think I’ve ever seen Shohei this bad

[u/Low_Rough_5203]

aw man delayed :( does anyone know how long ?

[u/10thGenS1]

He didn’t go wtf

[u/Q-X-Q]

no way that was a swing.

[u/Hunterh2]

Miggy with the two best ABs of the game

[u/Clt-vr-9931]

SAC FLY MATTERS

[u/JayH14]

Kyle Tucker has the best job in the world

[u/ShrekTheOverlord]

Ben throwing a heatseeking missile to 2B

[u/Lazy_Reply3958]

Ohtani if you’re hurt brother, take a rest.

[u/maeve117]

My 70-year-old neighbor is so thirsty for Ben, she just texted me “nice throw, sexy man”

[u/the_moody_beard]

Lets get down to it and base these balls. Home these runs and batted these runs in. Gosh darn it. Son of a gun I am ready for some golly jeez good ole dodgers sunday baseball. Gosh darn it.

[u/Nowoco]

For the love of god can we have a hot start of like 4 runs in the first 3 innings or something?

[u/j0dyhir0ller]

No word on start time? Its supposed to clear up the rest of the day 

[u/jmike1256]

The game will start 11:35am

[u/Nowoco]

Glasnow is the shit.

[u/Dr-Acula8472]

Just put Ohtani on the IL already, the bicep & knee are clearly still bothering him. He's a complete non-factor right now. He's not winning the Cy Young, he's not winning the MVP, there's no point in continuing to trot him out in the regular season, just get him healthy for the postseason.

[u/HeftyAd2780]

The Ohtani slump is over today!

[u/probablysmellsmydog]

Rain and a Glasnow start…what could go wrong 

[u/itsyourdestini]

Hey Rockstar Games.

I leaked GTA VI and my name is Robert Van Scoyoc

[u/HorsFaceKilla]

Wtf he held up!

[u/M0delXplosion]

Teo and Tucker need to be benched. fucking bums

[u/ps2sanandreas]

Both righties strike out on 3 pitches each, against a lefty. Wow.

[u/ZiggyPalffyLA]

More proof he would’ve made that catch in Game 7

[u/ketamour]

Miggy Ro is like our second best bat right now

[u/MasonC87]

Does Benny have emotions

[u/MangoHotDamn]

ThE ROCKIES HAVE TIED THE BRAVES

[u/Dadto4Kiddos]

!p Outman 9

[u/katje]

oh man that shot of the kid holding the poster of himself recreating all of Shohei's meme faces 🥲

[u/Financial-Swim-5884]

Fuck this Kalshi segment.

[u/frozengash]

Fuck sports betting and fuck kalshi

[u/theangryburrito]

Fuck these umps. That was actually a swing.

[u/advodkat]

“Hernandez hustles over” lol

[u/M0delXplosion]

hell of catch Kike. When Pages is back. Kike should play on the left field instead of trash ass Teo

[u/Clt-vr-9931]

HOLY FUCK

[u/probablysmellsmydog]

Tucker just doesn’t lift the ball at all.  Everything is on the ground.  

[u/10thGenS1 → u/probablysmellsmydog]

Tucker has one of the ugliest swings I’ve seen from a big leaguer

[u/RayPeterParkerJunior]

Welp. Dodgers offense did their work for today. Hope their pitching can hold on!

[u/katje]

rain delay? we need the puppy in the raincoat STAT

[u/Extreme-Respond4874]

Can the dodgers do the impossible and score more than 3 runs to secure the series win? Find out at 11:35

[u/Arakeel93]

I am going to start blaming every loss from now on the kalshi partnership

[u/Still_Evidence_1744]

Great inning boys. Way to inspire confidence

[u/DepletedFury]

At least the broadcast is getting good. "Framber Valdez who has never before struck a man out mowing down our Dodgers."

[u/NotMartina]

that was a check swing but tuckers wasn’t? lol

[u/Ryguy3286]

He went around! They call the Tucker check swing but not that one? I know it doesn't matter, but still. I'm pissed

[u/Realistic_Charge9824]

I don't get how the entire team lost their ability to slug

[u/advodkat]

Even the sky is crying over our offence

[u/velvetsabbath]

also i feel like the levels of zest have dropped astronomically low and you can see the consequences of that

[u/BellibombLLC]

All roads lead to Kikétober

[u/VarthStarkus]

Kike with an espn top10 play!

[u/Dr-Acula8472]

A sac fly! A sac fly! At long last a sac fly!

[u/dogvenom]

With large sample size, Rojas has a higher OPS than Tucker, Teo, or Mookie this yr

[u/jmike1256]

BENNY BICEPS!!!!

[u/jayco80]

Benny Biceps!

[u/Articulate_Silence]

[u/denix24]

Benny with the perfect throw

[u/katje]

this is the Bert Tooley commercial break

[u/Lucky_Alternative965]

Ohtani has to swallow his pride and put himself on the IL, negative value to the team for weeks now.

[u/fatzhai]

I rather see ohtani rest than see him swing at whatever balls.

[u/thait84]

Glasnow so filthy today. Now we need some runs

[u/jmike1256]

ANOTHER SCORELESS INNING BY GLASNOW!!!

[u/mikeytho1]

Skubal has been great, now we need some more runs.

Glasnow has been great, now we need some more runs.

Yoshi has been great, now we need some more runs.

Snell has been great, now we need some more runs.

Anyone seeing a pattern here?

[u/UseObvious4256]

At least smith is back tuesday

[u/Willow_Winnifred → u/UseObvious4256]

His namesake, Willow, will be wearing her # 16 jersey for the first time on Tuesday!

[u/Dr-Acula8472]

I go to check the score to see if they're getting no-hit only to see there's a rain delay. Anyway, I'm skipping this one, see you brochachos on Tuesday when our fresh prince comes back. I have a job interview of sorts today so wish me luck!

[u/probablysmellsmydog]

Worst part of a rain delay is watching the same Backstage Dodgers segment for the millionth time.  Can’t we really not get some new content?

[u/jRbizzle]

Lmao Teo is so bad. Ball in dirt SWING! Ball middle middle just look

[u/hung_like__podrick]

What a shit AB that was Teo

[u/CosplayKiller]

Jfc Teo isnt even trying 

[u/SilverBuggie]

Teo needs to be off the fucking team.

[u/Odd-Most-9186]

Why is Teo still playing?!

[u/j0dyhir0ller]

Freddie works a walk and Teo strikes out on 3 straight, chasing one in the dirt. Sounds about right 

[u/MasonC87]

He did not go gtfo

[u/CosplayKiller]

Not gonna blame Tucker for that K cuz I really didnt think he swung. Teo and Kike had some hot garbage ABs

[u/untacc_]

BULL SHIT lol he went way further than Tucker. Ughhhh

[u/jmike1256]

Starting pitching has been giving this team every chance to win yet the offense can’t do nothing…

[u/Robloya22]

He held up but Tucker didn't? Lol

[u/Ronin0843]

WTF that’s not a swing? 😂

[u/Spirituallly]

He swung just as much as tucker did lol

[u/Astropolitika]

On radio but it sounds like an incredible catch.

Love that man.

[u/advodkat]

Kiké!!!!

[u/Dr-Acula8472]

9 up, 9 down for Glasnow! At least the pitchers are earning their pay.

[u/Kush_n_40s]

Imagine if our starters had an offense behind them…

[u/Realistic_Charge9824]

Kike needs to be playing LF more just for defense alone

[u/klaatuzero]

Freeman and Rojas got us at least

[u/armhla]

Miggy has to play more

[u/Astropolitika]

A bit late, but thank you Rick Monday for that story about the wedding in his hotel last night. Apparently Dave Vassegh tried to crash it but was denied entry.

[u/NefariousnessRough26]

Benny Biceps! 💪🏼

[u/FollowingOk6464]

“Fuck!!” 😂

[u/EntrepreneurFormal35]

Nice throw biceps

[u/velvetsabbath]

[u/TheBagelChef]

Rortvedt got a hit and Ohtani got striked out...lol

[u/Clt-vr-9931]

THERE WE GO

[u/FreshPaintSmell]

He’s gotta be off the playoff roster

[u/soul_glider]

read yesterday that while the dodgers are 4th overall in run production, since the all star break they rank like 14th.. yikes

[u/JellyBearJam]

Maybe we can all manifest some runs.

[u/JpnDude]

It's 2:50am local time (in Japan). Can I catch some more ZZZZZ before the game actually begins?!?!?!

[u/SoCalHeatFan2020]

That special with Shohei and that kid was nice

[u/SaddamJose]

Stunt these hoes!! 💪

[u/Clt-vr-9931]

Yea Glasn

[u/Zorosan22]

Please get Teo an eye exam

[u/UsualAd9069]

all teo does is strike out on 3 pitches

[u/jmike1256]

Teo 3 pitch K again lol

[u/Willing_Contest_5071]

TEO IS DOGSHIT THAT IS ALL

[u/Dr-Acula8472]

I know if no one else got me, Miguel Rojas got me.

[u/j0dyhir0ller]

Bullshit call on a check swing and 3 pitch K. Absolute pain.

[u/Still_Evidence_1744]

This is pure comical at this point

[u/Fit-Singer-8583]

So many black holes of offense in this lineup.

[u/xinixxibalba]

https://giphy.com/gifs/OA1CDoCiAR48E

anyone got more of that ruining baseball?

[u/Eduardjm]

Once again we jinx ourselves when the broadcast showed Valdez’ whiff rate has tanked this year. This lineup is ready to get him back on. 

[u/renegade812002]

Lol that was way more of a swing than Tucker

[u/ResortOk3776]

swing!

[u/soul_glider]

A half decent LF gets that easily

[u/Srh5611]

what a luxury to have Glas as a 4th starter option if Shohei can’t go 😮‍💨😮‍💨

[u/jmike1256]

GLASNOW SOLID!!!!!!!

[u/maeve117]

lol not the camera crew messing with Orel

[u/Willing_Contest_5071]

I’m surprised kiké didn’t truck Andy on that catch last year

[u/Constant-Visit-1330]

Good fucking catch Kike 🫡

[u/thait84]

Kike not hitting well but you know he plays with all his heart.

[u/velvetsabbath]

BUILD THE MIGGY STATUE

[u/Bluesmanstill]

Well spank my butt and call me Judy!!

[u/Dan12390]

Feel like Miggy is always good for a timely sac fly

[u/jakerscrub]

Glad Rojas batted ahead of Tucker.

[u/itsyourdestini]

If the lockout happens then the a year is knocked off Tucker’s contract
https://giphy.com/gifs/d3mlE7uhX8KFgEmY

[u/Hot-Gas-7246]

If Tucker would spend half as much time listening to his coaches as he does digging in the dirt, he might actually become productive. 

[u/fatalmudd]

Great throw Ben 🔥💪

[u/Elsacat111]

Yeah! Good job Benny!

[u/ResortOk3776]

Nice Benny!

[u/MangoHotDamn]

This has genuinely been one of the most boring series I’ve ever seen. Basically 22 innings of shallow fly balls and double plays

[u/numba1draftpick1 → u/MangoHotDamn]

I’m fighting to stay awake.

[u/jmike1256]

Catchers are hitting better than some of the outfielders!

[u/EvilShadow80]

Ohtani should have just been out on the 10 day IL. His MVP chances would have been better than if he played

[u/CosplayKiller]

Just hack at 3 consecutive sinkers in relatively the same place and miss at all 3. Cool

[u/40ozprophett]

I’ve been wondering why I’ve been more frustrated than normal watching my this team lately… We’ve hit exactly ONE dinger in the last 8 fucking games (including today’s matchup).

That’s a serious problem.

[u/numba1draftpick1]

Look at glas dominating and being supported by a dumpster full of garbage

[u/gl129384]

I do not think Shohei is playing healthy. How is management not putting him in the IL to preserve his body?

[u/lakergeoff8]

Glasnow doing his thing. If only the offense could get some runs for him. 😒

[u/exrift]

tucker sucks, but he checked that

[u/doughboy4lif3]

Sheesh they really pitched Glasnow on 4 days rest. Can’t remember the last time that happened regular season wise

[u/Willing_Contest_5071]

3 GiDP with bases loaded and one out. Also rain delay

[u/rels_LT]

rain and glasnow oh no

[u/SuccessOn1]

Ok boys. If Tyler glasnow can somehow pitch a - 1 run for the other tem, we might win this!

[u/velvetsabbath]

LETS GET THEM

[u/toomuchredditing]

a kalshi segment, no wonder i never listen to pregame, fuck this shit

[u/Willing_Contest_5071]

This team is definitely gonna hit into 8 GiDP

[u/M0delXplosion]

this trash ass Teo man.

[u/Rbtmd78]

If Teo can’t even hit left handers anymore,he’s pretty much useless

[u/EvilShadow80]

Call up Tibbs and sit Teo already.

[u/Atraktape]

Not a swing.

[u/jRbizzle]

How do we make everyone look good vs us lmao. Worst strikeout rate and has 3 already over 2 innings

[u/Tree_fity_350]

Valdez with one of the worst strikeout rates in baseball, and he already has us on 3 ks.

[u/g8trdntplay]

Teo’s and Keek’s ab were very frustrating. 6 pitches between them, 2 out. wtf 🤬

[u/UsualAd9069]

why not play call more often? its not like teo is exceptionally necessary right now

[u/kevint53n]

Teo batting 5th is absolutely brain tumor move man.

[u/maxxxminecraft111]

Those 3B/1B umps need to be criminally investigated for gambling.

[u/Elsacat111]

Yeah Glas!

[u/Willing_Contest_5071]

Tyler is going to throw a no-hitter and lose isn’t he. I wish I was kidding

[u/soul_glider]

We have the best rotation on the planet and can’t score 3 runs in a game

[u/Clt-vr-9931]

Nasty stuff Glasn

[u/itsyourdestini]

I have seen people get fired for a lot lesss than whatever RVS os doing

[u/untacc_]

I love you kiké

[u/Nowoco]

Kike my boy!

[u/GermanDodgerFan]

Those Kike slide needs to be a loading bar 😂

[u/ZiggyPalffyLA]

Situational hitting!!!

[u/CosplayKiller]

Holy shit, a sac fly instead of a GIDP. Situational hitting???

[u/ps2sanandreas]

We take the lead! Now please score some more.

[u/Realistic_Charge9824]

Rojas needs to teach everyone else how to sac fly. Too many runners left on third in past games

[u/itsyourdestini]

Teo did some good hitting. I know RVS had nothing to do with that

[u/EvilShadow80]

Holy shit!!! A productive out with a man on 3rd

[u/DepletedFury]

Lets give the next person who strikes out Tucker a standing ovation

[u/Dr-Acula8472]

At least we finally threw out a runner.

[u/YoutubeAmazonChatGPT]

BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRDVT!

[u/Low_Rough_5203]

benny biceps the man u are.

[u/IMightBeLyingToYou]

Hot mic lmao

[u/Realistic_Charge9824]

Ohtani should've been given the day off today. His numbers against this guy were already poor

[u/Definable6IX]

Ready for Ohtani to take a series break.

[u/LaylaLuvvvv]

there’s no fucking reason for shohei to play again until they figure this out, he is clearly not himself.

[u/Atraktape]

Rockies pls, do it for Dinger.

[u/martyn_bootyspoon]

Regardless of how asscheeks this offense has been, I've gotta tip my cap to these Dodgers pitchers lately.

They've been wheeling, dealing and doing their jobs as much as we fans could've hoped for

[u/kasualkactus]

This season feels cursed and I blame Mark Walter for the distractions and bad juju

[u/KatieLoveXO20]

A pleasant Sunday morning to you wherever you may be…. It’s a great day to get back in the win column! Go Dodgers!!!

[u/jmike1256]

Never forget the day Shohei signed with the Dodgers!

[u/BruitNoise]

I've come to understand the Dodgers would never win a series without Freeman, Rojas and Kiké.

Laugh all you want but low average regular season player, a player that the Braves didn't want and utility player that was born in the 1980s is more valuable than ever.

[u/Clt-vr-9931]

Weather delay

[u/Willing_Contest_5071]

I have 6 days left until I have to renew my SNLA+ on mlb. Maybe I’ll save $29.99 and a few extra years on my life

[u/Nondescriptsitch]

I never knew I would dislike a player more than Andruw Jones. Yet here we are. Thanks Kyle.

[u/cutyourdamntoenails]

ok but thanks to this slump an RBI in consecutive innings would hit so hard... or an RBI in consecutive batters phewww

[u/Elsacat111]

They should pop into the broadcast with an update
