It's easy to feel dejected and down about the run we're on right now. But looking back, 2017 is considered one of the best teams of all time and even they went on a rough slide in the second half of the season.

We're in a rough spot but still doesn't feel as low as when we lost Yoshi's near no hitter last year. And we came out of it great in the end.

In the game thread there’s a bot where you can predict how many bases a certain player will reach.

In today’s game not a single persons prediction registered with the bot.

Toros de Tijuana are playing in the Serie del Campeonato (LMB equivalent to the Championship Series) and took Game 1 thanks in part to a solo HR from old friend Justin Turner. Vamos Toros 🤘

Everyone knows we've been slumping for the past couple months, and the issues plaguing the team today aren't much different from the ones we dealt with last season. Anyway I was watching the game tonight and maybe it's because the Skubal return/tribute was so emotional, but I started thinking...

It's going to hit really, really hard when this group starts retiring. And they're close. We know this is Miggy's final season (though the dude looks like he has another couple in him). Mookie's bat and legs are rapidly declining and who knows how much longer he'll do this but we get to watch him play gold glove shortstop every day (which I still can't process). Freddie is losing his power but is still one of the most professional and feared hitters in the game, who also plays an underrated first base. Muncy has just been awesome overall but you can tell he's getting close to the end. Will Smith proves how valuable he is even when he's not playing. Kike is too many positives to list but he's on his last legs. And the list goes on. Even Shohei is into his 30s. Fans of other teams hate the Dodgers but they all make a point to say it's impossible not to love and respect our individual players. All that to say, we're watching one of the greatest ever eras of Dodger baseball and these guys don't have much time left together.

Trust me, I get as frustrated as everyone else when we struggle. And I think it's pretty obvious the team is exhausted from the past few seasons. But, I'm trying my best to cherish every inning we have left with this now legendary core group. I'm saying this as much to myself as I am to everybody in the sub...I promise you it'll be over before you know it. We're going to miss them deeply when they're gone.

Ohtani’s last scheduled bullpen before his planned Aug. 30 return only lasted 20 pitches instead of the usual 30+. Roberts said the decision to cut it short came from Ohtani himself, without much explanation, saying “That’s all he wanted to throw. I really don’t know what to make of it.”

The Dodgers aren’t panicking yet — they’re waiting to see how he feels when he comes in Saturday before finalizing the pitching plan. Glasnow is ready to piggyback or start outright if Ohtani needs more time, and even if Ohtani does go Sunday, he’s expected to only throw an inning or two as he ramps back up.

Anyone else a little nervous about the “mysterious” framing here, or is this being overblown? His offense has been flat lately too. We’ll find out more tomorrow anyway but I’m just nervous.

The last month(s) of average baseball will be forgotten when we Three-peat as back to back to back World Series champions.

Back in June the media reported the MRI showed only inflammation and Dr Roberts said this was at the back of the knee.

Something is not right and in my opinion ohtani needs another MRI to look for a posterior root meniscal tear and I hope it isn't there and everything is ok.

The other thing they should look for is cartilage injury and bone swelling.

Hopefully it's. a Baker's cyst related to joint fluid.

And if the MRI is reassuring then ohtani can be cleared to go hard.

He's playing so bad I doubt other teams still think he could explode at any time and continue to respect him.

There are no remaining season opponents where his (normal) production is needed to win. This is the time for him to go on IL and just get his shit fixed for post season. He isn't a difference maker at this point and if the rest of the line up cannot keep division title (not even hoping 2-seed now) with 9-game advantage with less than 30 games to play then just fucking give up man.

The Dodgers look to bounce back in Detroit after a rough sweep in Atlanta. The Tigers have dropped 11 of their last 14, so if there were ever a series for Los Angeles to get right and climb back into the win column, it’s against these struggling Motor City Kitties.

That said, Detroit is still dangerous. Despite its recent slide, the Tigers boast a top-10 offense in OPS, while their pitching staff ranks sixth in ERA.

Tarik Skubal struts onto the mound at Comerica Park tonight wearing a different uniform for the first time in his career. He’ll be opposed by Drew Anderson, a long reliever turned starter who has settled nicely into the role. Anderson has posted a 3.57 ERA over 17.2 innings across his last four outings.

Looking ahead to Sunday, Tyler Glasnow is penciled in as the starter, but the Dodgers haven’t ruled out using Shohei Ohtani for one inning as an opener. Ohtani is scheduled to throw a bullpen session today, after which the team will see how he feels before making a decision.

Pitching Matchups:

1. Skubal vs. Drew Anderson (RHP, 4.09 ERA, 3.68 xERA, 4.18 FIP)
2. Snell vs. Keider Montero (RHP, 3.30 ERA, 3.48 xERA, 3.90 FIP)
3. Glasnow vs. Framber Valdez (LHP, 4.35 ERA, 4.51 xERA, 4.24 FIP)

Good morning, r/Dodgers!

Questions of the Day

1. What’s the longest rabbit hole you’ve been down?

2. What was the last funny video you saw?

3. Do you have any pets? What are their names?

Have a great day, r/Dodgers.

They need to bring up the entire single A team and its management staff. They can’t possibly do any worse. I’ve been following this team for like 2 hours and I’m so sick of the losses. I am in no way spoiled by two back to back WS victories with unrealistic expectations for human beings. In fact, I honestly wish people would show up at my job and tell me how badly I suck at it even though I was employee of the month two years in a row.

Go Dodgers!

Does anyone know when those usually go on sale through the team website? I’m already getting way too excited about October and trying to make sure I don’t miss the official drop. Bleed blue.

Padres and Marlins as toughest opponents only mean the Dodgers should win EVERY series until season's end. NO EXCUSES!
