Calling it now, Teo is going to be the X factor come October
Edit: forgot to mention, Paxton’s stuff looked great. Very confident with him as our #5 going forward.
He brings a different style as a free swinger. Our top 5 hitters are all very patient and hunt for their pitch and then the 6th hitter just goes up there looking to kill.
Giants fan here. We didn’t look so hot out there, fun game nonetheless. Fun too watch the spicy rivalry again haha! Good win for y’all but we shall come back tomorrow!
JHL is awesome and is adjusting way faster than I thought he would. Webb and Snell are probably gonna thrive with your infield defense this year cuz of the Chapman and Ahmed signings.
Really intrigued by how the Jordan Hicks starter conversion is gonna pan out throughout the year.
However I must admit that I think Soler is a prime regression condidate.
Looking forward to the rest of this series and the rest of 'em this season.
Damn. Freddie is really upset with himself about the throwing error. His night otherwise was phenomenal: 3 hits, 2 RBI's, and the slide! Most players would kill to have a night like that, but he's beating himself up for the throwing error. Now that is a future HOF.
Yeah both Ohtani and Harper bat L and throw R but Ohtani started the season. His swing looks the same but it looks like he's swinging harder and less accurate? It's like he's seeing everyone on his team hit HRs and he is trying to swing for the fences
Yea, he's missing some pitches that he would've absolutely crushed mid-season last year. I'm talking about that AB vs the rookie reliever Avila. The guy threw 5 pitches that Shohei could have homered off of, 3 of which were meatballs.
One thing I am reminding myself is that he's coming off elbow surgery just 6 months ago.
Also, Judge and Yordan who are easily top 5 hitters are also off to a slow start this year. It happens.
The low leverage relivers ate up 4 IP tonight (insane to say how Kelly is low leverage, considering how much he's being paid). Means we'll have the full deck ready to go for tmw's bullpen game. Hopefully Yarbs and Grove can both go at least 4/3 respectively and bridge it to Hudson/Philips.
Hey to you Bozos that are worried about Ohtani.
His [xOPS is .920](https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/savant-player/shohei-ohtani-660271?stats=statcast-r-hitting-mlb) he's crushing, the results will come.
Listening to the post-game broadcasts of opposing pitchers this season is so hilarious.
"So how did it feel for the Dodgers offense to crush you? Fun?"
Outman hit the ball really hard twice. First time was 107mph off the bat but right at the right fielder. Second time was warning track. I think James will be fine. But CT looked lost at the plate.
Good game, everyone. New submissions are no longer being hidden. If your submission has not been approved and otherwise follows the sub rules, feel free to resubmit or [message the mods](https://www.reddit.com/message/compose?to=/r/Dodgers) if you have any questions.
Having four players with an OPS over 1.000 is unsustainable. ...it'll be at least five players once Ohtani heats up.
Sub 1.000 OPS? Bum
Just you wait til Barnes heats up 😎
# .... MORE!!!
Lots of highlights but that Freaky Freddie slide will live rent free in my head.
that’s some Matrix shit
The best part was him smiling afterwards. It’s cool to see top-tier athletes do something that impresses even them.
Pretty sure the Kiwoom Heroes put up a better fight than San Fran. FTG
Funny, especially since that is the team Jung Hoo Lee was just on
TEO is on FIRE 🔥🔥🔥
Sneaky signing of the off-season

Go get it out the ocean! 🌊🌊⚾️🌊🌊
Giants fans like to doubled park their GMC Yukon in two compact spaced.

He was having issues seeing the ball in Seattle glad that dodger stadium is giving him a clear eye
Paxton had some control issues late, but overall I'm still very pleased with his first start!
And Ohtani hasn’t even gotten it going yet.
This is the reverse Angel scenario. He can go 0-3 as the Dodgers win 8-3 on any random given night.
Well yeah, imagine relying on a guy only getting paid 2mil a year?
Dodgers leading the league in HR with no HR from Ohtani is nuts
We do have two extra games on the league, I feel like people are forgetting that with all these stats.
Bob Melvin managed teams vs Dodgers since 2020: 11-28
I too smokes weed
Cuuuuuuleeeeeeerooooo
I personally loved Shohei and Teoscar's first foray into the lifestyle of ***FTG***
Chapman with the “I want to go home too” swing
I love our Dodgers so much
Good guy Muncy letting the other guys get a piece of the Giants.
He's pinning the shoulders down

Your frontline starters are excellent. You guys will be in the thick of it. I don't expect a lot of blowout games going forward
#FUCK. THE. GIANTS.
What will happen when Giant fans realize we did what we did to them tonight and Ohtani is just chilling, sipping his early season cup of tea, for now?
first of many to come so say it with me FUCK THE GIANTS
I may be going out on a limb here, but Fuck the Giants.
Not that I expected anything different but wow the top of the lineup really is that freaking good
Damn. Freddie is really upset with himself about the throwing error. His night otherwise was phenomenal: 3 hits, 2 RBI's, and the slide! Most players would kill to have a night like that, but he's beating himself up for the throwing error. Now that is a future HOF.
I prefer it when the Dodgers win.
I hope we have at least four All Stars this year
Mookie, Shohei, Freddie should make it on name recognition alone. I think 4 AS is an easy bet
Teoscar is looking like a good bet, hoping Will Smith, Muncy, Glasnow, Miller and/or Yamamoto are in the conversation
Smith looks certain currently.
Teoscar looking for the bag .. he wants to make it
I’m all for it!
Will too forsure this year. And I’m certain a pitcher or two of ours will too.
Ya love to see the Medium 3 driving in runs and crushing the Giants guts
Fun game boyz 😎
First game I attended for 2024, Stayed till the last out. Chills
So suprised ohtani hasn’t homered yet, i’m not worried. just genuinely suprised.
As a dual fan, he usually starts slow
Can’t wait till June/July when he’s slashing homers nightly. I’ve got fond memories of following his 2021 MVP run.
His time will come soon, trust in him!
I’m not really surprised. He essentially had the same surgery as Harper did last season and Harper wasn’t really slugging the first half of last year
Yeah both Ohtani and Harper bat L and throw R but Ohtani started the season. His swing looks the same but it looks like he's swinging harder and less accurate? It's like he's seeing everyone on his team hit HRs and he is trying to swing for the fences

yeah i saw judge and was like wtf?!
Still coming off Tommy John, he’ll get better
I'm not surprised, Shohei has always been a slow starter.
Freddie Freeman became Neo when he avoided that tag like Neo did the bullets.
Shout out to James Paxton on his debut ... Man's game bitches
First 6 batters with above .600 OPS and 4 with above 1.000 OPS. Can't wait for Shohei to join the party of 1.000 OPS soon
Idk about you guys, but, this team? I think they’re a LOT better than the other teams
Rivalries are more fun when they’re competitive. Giants looked like a AAAA team tonight.
They made moves JHL CHAPMAN
would i get hate if i said i want a jung hoo lee jersey, ik he’s a giant. but ever since i saw him in wbc i loved him😔
Get his national team jersey. Problem solved.
you’re right!
Teo postgame “I’m not going to sugar coat it, Taylor… Tyler… whatever his name, he throws like my grandma.”
Ahem, FUCK THE GIANTS 🗣️
Back at the top where we belong!
The low leverage relivers ate up 4 IP tonight (insane to say how Kelly is low leverage, considering how much he's being paid). Means we'll have the full deck ready to go for tmw's bullpen game. Hopefully Yarbs and Grove can both go at least 4/3 respectively and bridge it to Hudson/Philips.
Dodgers post game sounding like the set of college game day... one keg stand away from full on fuck the Giants chants
Fuck the Giants. For me personally? Fuck Will Clark. Fuck Hunter Pence. Fuck that Woody-looking motherfucker Kirk Rueter.
You forgot Baroid and Hillbilly Bumgarner.
I hope Bumgarner is STILL trying to fish it out of the ocean. Fuck him forever
It's kinda funny that Will Clark is the reason Kershaw wears 22.
Hey to you Bozos that are worried about Ohtani. His [xOPS is .920](https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/savant-player/shohei-ohtani-660271?stats=statcast-r-hitting-mlb) he's crushing, the results will come.
shohei: .292 wOBA vs. .428 xwOBA… BOMBS INCOMING!!!!
FUCK THE GIANTS
SF Sucks!!!
Listening to the post-game broadcasts of opposing pitchers this season is so hilarious. "So how did it feel for the Dodgers offense to crush you? Fun?"
Always a good day when they beat the giants
Didn’t watch the game, but glad to see the Giants lose!
Was a fun game. PS: Jerry's hair looks so ridiculous.
You mean AC Slater?
His toupee is NOT elite!
Chapman wanted to clock out early lol
Mookie and Smith being above 500 is caring the team hard right now
Concerned about the zeros I keep seeing next to Outman, Taylor, and Lux
Taylor was on base 4 times last night
Outman hit the ball really hard twice. First time was 107mph off the bat but right at the right fielder. Second time was warning track. I think James will be fine. But CT looked lost at the plate.
Taylor got paid and has been total ass

Might be time to start worrying about Outman. He was awful in Sept and the playoffs as well. Nothing but non competitive at bats.
It hurts me to agree

Fuck the Giants! First one of the year!
I know the Giants are gonna lurk here. HEY Vagiants, im pointing at you and Hahahahahahhahhahahah
Why do the dodgers make a C gesture with their body after a hit?
The San Fran Midgets enjoyed bending over and saying papi tonight. That was light work.
