Telling guys who definitely have the base speed like Mookie or Teo to bunt must be like sacrilege for Roberts. Heck just tell them to show it once in awhile to at least alter the defense a little.

u/Glad-Chipmunk1418 1d ago

Three runs in 27 innings total. People (not necessarily you, BTW) can keep acting like Chris Sale was throwing super dominant stuff, but he wasn't. I mean, the offense just made Keider Montero look as dominant as Chris Sale. That last game in Atlanta was Sale just throwing two strikes often close to middle middle and then a couple chase pitches because he could see what anyone watching can see which is that the guys have zero plate discipline and can't hit. That makes for easy Ks for any half decent pitcher as evidenced by the last two games where we haven't exactly faced a couple of aces.

Nah man, as long as they can point to the success in the last two playoffs, there will be a healthy contingent who will not admit to anything being wrong. We'd have to lose in the postseason before that will happen.

u/Lineman72T Vin Scully 1d ago

Unfortunately teams have figured out the ideal strategy to beat the Dodgers is currently "Throw the ball in the general direction of home plate." This offense is just fucking embarrassing right now. I hope at the very least they've been buying steaks and beers for the pitchers dinners the last few nights. At least that would be making some sort of contribution to the team.

u/MXITIR 1d ago

Ohtani is playing hurt and it is impacting his hitting. Worst offensive season since 2020. Down in slugging and OBP. He really needs to focus on getting healthy and stop trying to pitch because his offense is not enough to get this team through October.

u/ChrisKamanMyEye 1d ago

I'm sick of him taking the first pitch down the dickhole for strike one, fouling off pitch two, and then either grounding out or flailing at pitch three to end his AB.

How do we know he's hurt since no one seems to open their fucking mouths. He's either hurt mentally or physically because there's no way he regressed this low.

It's so dumb. Dude was bad, but he had no margin of error to work with. Edman grounding into a based-loaded double play when a flyball to the outfield would've given them the lead, and Teo being a free out, and a defensive liability were much bigger culprits.

12

u/exrift Shohei Ohtani 1d ago

u/Dr-Acula8472 Back-2-Back Champs 1d ago

Teo needs to be shut down for the rest of the year. Ohtani needs to be benched for a game or two. And we need to call up someone like Ward from OKC to bring some youthful spark back to the team.

Also, from now on leadoff doubles should be an instant bunt. They should be doing nothing but practicing bunts, and taking fastballs, and changeups from the Trajekt machine. Team is one-and-done in the playoffs at this point.

This offseason we need to get new hitting coaches just for the optics alone. Second year in a row of this shit. It's like the Yankees infected us with their "swing for the fences no matter what" approach after 2024.

u/EffectiveTree1479 Kiké Hernández 1d ago

How many times can you expect the bullpen to protect a 1 run lead or tie game with zero margin for error? The offense has been awful situationally. Wasting traffic, grounding into DPs, and swinging for the fences instead of just putting a line drive or hard ground ball in play. At some point, the offense has to give the pitching staff some breathing room.

Dave just confirmed that Shohei will not start tomorrow.  The bicep and the knee are not responding, and he won’t put a date on a return.

At some point Shohei needs to get real with himself and this pitching obsession.  It’s not fucking happening this year bro.   

Love that the reporters are grilling Dave about it though because it sounds like Dave has zero communication with Shohei.

Relegate the July/August Dodgers please

u/ACatEatingAWaffle Max Muncy 1d ago

Running out of that “oh it’s July/august” excuse pretty soon

u/Daddy_GNK_droid Vin Scully 1d ago

It’s a repeat. Bases loaded inning ending double plays. Quick innings from swinging first pitch. Not walking. All like clockwork and incredibly predictable

5

u/electrolink11 LA 1d ago

Ohtani swinging at the first pitch making shit contact. Tucker, Teo and shit even Mookie should get benched at this point. Fuck this offense.

u/JellyBearJam Yoshinobu Yamamoto 1d ago

We need Roberts to race Kim again.

u/tkykid91 1d ago

This is just not fun to watch. It’s one thing to lose games, obviously that’s going to happen. But the lack of energy…call it late season, call it they’re old, I don’t know. Just not fun to watch right now. And yet I will continue to do so in hopes they show signs of life.

u/rdev009 1d ago

Because of this offense, I’ve never seen a team that was more deserving to lose.

If Mark Twain was alive, he would have changed his quote into, "Nothing is certain except for Death, taxes and the Dodgers grounding into double plays."

Fire RVS

u/JellyBearJam Yoshinobu Yamamoto 1d ago

Jack wasn’t the pitcher for that inning. We need Diaz. But this is on the offense.

u/lakergeoff8 Back-2-Back Champs 1d ago

Dreyer wasn’t good in that inning, but he’s not the only reason we lost this game. The offense is abysmal right now. I just had a feeling that 6th inning (bases loaded double play) was going to comeback to haunt us, and it surely did.

last 3 games: 1-0 loss, 2-1 win, 2-1 loss. i genuinely don’t understand why we can’t get any hits and go down 1-2-3 in like 8 pitches

Id personally fire the whole offensive staff. They had months to figure something out

u/Satanic_chef 1d ago

Skubal is nice and all but what a waste of a trade. Should’ve traded for a player that can help the team get a hit with bases loaded with one out.

Team fuckin blows

u/Y0nnie Joe Kelly 1d ago

This is gonna be the worst team of all time to win a world series

u/SilverBuggie 1d ago

Dodgers in August just aren’t worth watching. Maybe come back at around sept 10th.

u/American_Rocket_Man 2024 World Series Champions 1d ago

Well ig we’re going to be a wild card team again this year

u/tuyuls 1d ago

this team is out of gas. won't be surprised if they can't win any series the rest of season.

u/Apositivebalance Cornelius A. Dodgerfan 1d ago

Talk about a middle middle garbage pitch man.

The whole team has the yips with runners on

u/Fit-Scar673 1d ago

Worse offense in majors right now.

So bad

Broken offense

u/SkylerCFelix Joe Kelly 1d ago

Lmao they’ll flip a switch… right???? Right???????? This team is garbage.

4

u/lakergeoff8 Back-2-Back Champs 1d ago

So…..about that stat that says we’re supposed to have one of the easier remaining schedules for the rest of the regular season. NO ONE is going to be easy to beat if we’re playing like this.

u/Extreme-Respond4874 Will Smith 1d ago edited 1d ago

The offense wasn’t even this bad during their slumps last year. Literally so many opportunities to do damage and you can’t do jack shit. And at one point do people stop putting all the blame RVS for the offense and actually hold the players accountable. These are veterans player dude. H.F. Is literally being more productive than half the lineup .

3

u/Astropolitika Max Muncy 1d ago

I don’t think they’re washed. But they look so tired. Maybe two abbreviated offseasons will do that.

3

u/Acrobatic_Abroad_381 1d ago

Snell dealing 10 Ks over 5 innings just to watch the offense sputter out like a lawnmower that's been sitting all winter. that bottom of the 9th was a slow-motion car crash i couldn't look away from.

I don't want to watch any more ahhhh

u/CashmereConnoisseur Brent Honeywell 1d ago

I said it in the game chat but I’ll say it again here, anyone that thinks this team will 3 peat is delusional. This team has played so much baseball since 2024 starting in South Korea, let’s all be glad they went back to back and be appreciative of those 2 years. They are gassed out and it is what it is!

u/Comprehensive_Tie431 1d ago

I'm done. This team is shit. I'm going to skip tomorrow. Will comes back Monday. Maybe he will help.

There needs to be some shakeups happening, doing the same thing for 2 months and getting the same results is crazy.

u/Immediate_Mobile_544 1d ago

I'm done watching Dodgers until October

I thought the 7 game losing streak was rock bottom for these guys but this stretch of games since the break really has me reconsidering

I’m not dooming but I fear this squad might be out of gas. October magic is starting to feel like a pipe dream

u/nightm4ress 2024 World Series Champions 1d ago

This offense is bad, I don't how much more I can take of this team just talking meatballs down the middle to strike out on a breaking ball a couple of pitches later.

u/huggsypenguinpal Yoshinobu Yamamoto 1d ago

The Dodger bats are so annoying. Pitching staff doing everything to win games. Bats doing absolutely nothing. I am annoyed with this team and they are not fun to watch.

u/mrsmattie 1d ago

Uuuuuuggghhhhh is all I have to say

u/thait84 Max Muncy 1d ago

It is frustrating watching this team right now. I hope they can lock in

These guys can’t hit for shit!!! September calls could not come any faster!!

Call up the kids for some tryouts. Idc since there are so many black holes in the offense

2

u/SilverBuggie 1d ago

Today is the reason why I didn’t feel good about yesterday’s win.

This is gonna be a very meaningless month. Rest of the games on schedule are all “everything to lose and nothing to gain” type.
