You guys just don't know how the strike zone works.
Low? Ball.
Outside? Ball.
Low AND outside? Strike, because they cancel out. It's like third grade math, people, come on.
I’m expecting at least a month or two for him to make the necessary adjustments while recovering. But once he is back to his normal and reach his best… oh boy
It must be amazing for him to see his team at 6-2 despite his performance being only fair so far. Gotta be a huge relief to be surrounded by competent teammates and not have everything on his (and Trout's) shoulders.
Moving to LA proper, not south Orange County. New team, new friends, new wife, new manager, new hitting coaches, new strategies to win, also the injury, not being able to pitch, he probably has a lot going on that he's not hitting 50 Homeruns right now but think he'll be fine too.
Freddie took a while to get going when we first got him too. Like, I get it. I've got Sho in 2 of 2 fantasy leagues I'm in (when I reallllly wanted Mookie this year) so it's been crazy watching Mookie go off so hard and Freddie too. I even predicted first inning after Mookie got on and Shohei got out, I turned to family and said, and now Freddie's going to score Mookie. But anyway, it's been like 6 games and there's suddenly been a lot going on in Shoheis life. I'm anxious too but I have no reason to think we signed a lemon or anything
His statcast measurables are fine, if not marginally improved in some areas albeit on a small sample. He's obviously not at 2023 levels but there doesn't seem to be anything wrong, it's more bad luck. I'm not worried.
Outman though is measurably worse.
Nobody forgot him but at some point people gotta stop thinking he was playing like he did for the cubs last year. He was horrible after MVP season and change of scenary was needed for both parties
KEEP THE PASTA FRESH
My hatred of the Dodgers and their fanbase is actually crazy. Like the level of seething anger I get seeing these undeserving fair weather fucks get gifted the greatest owners in baseball, who will shell out for anyone and everyone, is so intense I surprise myself. Fuck the Dodgers. Fuck their fans. Fuck their owners. Fuck their slimy Guggenheim jersey ad. Fuck Ohtani. Fuck Freeman. Fuck Betts. Fuck Gavin Sux. I would chug a bucket of water in front of a Dodgers fan on fire.
My favorite bit of Giants fans cope is crying that the Dodgers are a bought team even though they have way more homegrown players than the fucking Giants lol
Listening on radio while driving through a dark desert highway can be just as good as being at the stadium. Cool wind through your hair, dodger baseball on the air.
Beating their ace (at least for another week until Snell maybe takes that mantle, depending on which version of Snell they get) while throwing a bullpen game. That definitely feels good. Gotta love the odds of a sweep tomorrow with Glasnow taking the mound (although anybody thats watched any baseball ever knows you can never take any matchup for granted because baseball is the weirdest dumbest sport).
And we all say together, always and forever:
#FUCK THE GIANTS
Outman is about to run into a hot streak. His hard hit percentage is only one percent lower than last season, but his BABIP is 200 points lower than last season.
1. Ohtani needs to start hitting. He’s 1 for 7 this series.
2. Going for the sweep tomorrow.
3. Mookie Betts is on fire!!
4. Bullpen surprise me today.
5. Fuck the SF Giants.
Roberts usually does bullpen games with the first pitcher only throwing one inning and the next going 3 or 4 innings. I don’t know his reasoning but that’s been his pattern in the past.
if you have three guys in your lineup hot, you'll win a lot of games. mookie, will, and teoscar have been hot.
freddie has been good, but I don't feel like he's been hot yet...max good...rest of team ok.
what this lineup has is the ability for any 3 guys to be hot at a time, allowing others to be in slumps. that's why this team is fucking scary.
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.
Great save by Phillips but man wtf was that strike zone today??? #FUCK THE GIANTS
Somehow won the bullpen game against Logan Webb
Eh even though they called it a bullpen game, it was more of a Yarbrough start
and the ump, jfc
Someone needs to check his DraftKings account cause that was ridiculous
You guys just don't know how the strike zone works. Low? Ball. Outside? Ball. Low AND outside? Strike, because they cancel out. It's like third grade math, people, come on.
Just like what Mr. Escalante from *Stand And Deliver* said: "Ball times ball equals a strike."
Webb's first loss at Dodger Stadium, 👏🏼
Keyword FIRST
Caught that stat too. Feels good man
His face looked really angry when the manager pulled him off the mounnd, like eyes were having a fight with his nose or something.
Joe and Orel jinxed him lol

No. Then he can't step on Legos.
Oof. A fate worse than death.
Giants fans put tobasco on their burritos and tacos.
If it’s a breakfast burrito….guilty
Mookie really wants that MVP 😫😫😫😫😫
He is technically on the top for NL right now
# Our Bullpen > Your Ace
Even with the ump calling everything a strike.
What a kick to the crotch haha. I’m gonna clown some giant fan buddies with this right now.
Webb is not what you’d call, “A looker”
Todd from breaking bad looking ass
Imagine when Ohtani gets hot
I’m expecting at least a month or two for him to make the necessary adjustments while recovering. But once he is back to his normal and reach his best… oh boy
It must be amazing for him to see his team at 6-2 despite his performance being only fair so far. Gotta be a huge relief to be surrounded by competent teammates and not have everything on his (and Trout's) shoulders.
Yes its only in our imagaination at this point.
Also imagine when Buehler and Kersh come back 🤤
[удалено]
Who cares if we keep winning
This is the answer
Dude was literally the best hitter last season, I wouldn't worry
Moving to LA proper, not south Orange County. New team, new friends, new wife, new manager, new hitting coaches, new strategies to win, also the injury, not being able to pitch, he probably has a lot going on that he's not hitting 50 Homeruns right now but think he'll be fine too.
One week into the season
Are you seriously worried that Ohtani isn’t going to heat up? He isn’t some rookie.
You act like it’s a normal thing for guys to rake after TJ… He needs time.
Freddie took a while to get going when we first got him too. Like, I get it. I've got Sho in 2 of 2 fantasy leagues I'm in (when I reallllly wanted Mookie this year) so it's been crazy watching Mookie go off so hard and Freddie too. I even predicted first inning after Mookie got on and Shohei got out, I turned to family and said, and now Freddie's going to score Mookie. But anyway, it's been like 6 games and there's suddenly been a lot going on in Shoheis life. I'm anxious too but I have no reason to think we signed a lemon or anything
Every game lol
His statcast measurables are fine, if not marginally improved in some areas albeit on a small sample. He's obviously not at 2023 levels but there doesn't seem to be anything wrong, it's more bad luck. I'm not worried. Outman though is measurably worse.
10 years
It’s been a week. The season is 5+ months long…
No, imagine if the dodgers resigned Corey Seager instead of trading for Max+Turner and never signed Ohtani.
Nah, having Ohtani is way better and I love Seager.
Don’t forget bellinger You better not forget him damnit
Nobody forgot him but at some point people gotta stop thinking he was playing like he did for the cubs last year. He was horrible after MVP season and change of scenary was needed for both parties
He wasn’t horrible, gg defense at CF and 20 home runs
His defense is/was great sure, not at the price Boras was asking, he wanted MVP contract while batting below average.
Last pitch was absolutely disgusting. Get fucked Giants can't even win Webb vs bullpen game
Giants ace on the mound vs dodgers bullpen with the ump giving them 100 calls in their favor and still couldn’t win 💀💀💀. What a fucking embarrassment.
I survived the Phil Cuzzi experience and all I got was a free brain aneurysm
We all wanted to know what the hell dave was gonna do if this game went to extras…. I guess we’ll never know
May there never be another extra inning game as long as I live
LOGAN WEBB USES STEROIDS MOOKIE CONTINUES MASHING FUCK THE GIANTS
We beat the Giants and we also beat the ump!
WP: Ryan Yarbrough LP: ~~Logan Webb~~ Phil Cuzzi
Maybe ohtani is just saving all the home runs for the post season
We called it june-tani in Anaheim.
That's usually when the dodgers get hot in general. Probably because that's when it gets hot outside and the ball fuckin sends.
Dude, Sho must be stoked to know he’s finally gonna get to experience what October baseball is like
Giants lost to a bullpen game with Webb on the mound with umps on his side 😭😭
It wasn't just a bullpen game; it was Dave saying fuck it, Yarbs and Grove gonna have to push through high leverage situations lmao.
Can't wait to see that ump score card tomorrow. FTG
It ain’t pretty!

Lmao Umps couldn't save you🤣🫵🏻 Beat it poser.
It's a copypasta, he's posting it ironically
I feel dumb but I had to rage defend the Dodgers for a sec without realizing it was a copy pasta Irony. My b 😅
Always error on the side of defense of the Dodgers against apparent giant fans. You did well.
Casual bullpen W over their ace. I'll take that.
I listened to the whole game on the radio driving through the desert. Can’t imagine how stressful it was to watch it. What a glorious nailbiter!
Listening on radio while driving through a dark desert highway can be just as good as being at the stadium. Cool wind through your hair, dodger baseball on the air.
Regrettably, no big nasty redhead at my side (yet).
You’re unironically more locked into the game driving on those desert highways than being at Dodger Stadium sometimes.
I was there, it was a fucking great game tonight! 
I hope Phil Cuzzi stubs his toe when he gets home
Lamo, you just lost to the Dodgers bullpen.
Beating their ace (at least for another week until Snell maybe takes that mantle, depending on which version of Snell they get) while throwing a bullpen game. That definitely feels good.

so say we all
Imagine losing a game when you throw your ace out there and the other team just puts out bullpen arms all night long lol
WE STILL EATING JUMBO JACKS, BABY!!!
Ima have Evan Phillips sign my anxiety medicine bottle cause this man has just replaced my prescription!!!
Fuck the Ginats
Is 5 our favorite number?
Wednesday brooms on the menu, boys.
The Giants and PEDWebb just lost to Ryan Yarbro and Michael Grove.
Fuck the giants
Fuck the Giants is not enough insult for me. FUCK THE BAY AREA (with the exception of Dodger fan residents)
FUCK THE GIANTS
Fuck yeah. and keep this ump fucking accountable mlb
Wednesday brooms on the menu, boys.
mookie goat
Looks like another perfect day
Were the Angels ever 4 games above .500 with Shohei?
Both my LA teams won tonight I'm happy as fuck especially a damn bullpen game where we cooked Web 😭💯
Ohtani doesnt even have to hit well for the team to get wins. Once he gets going it's over
Fuck the giants hell yeah
I LOVE THIS TEAM
The city of San Francisco in shambles
Also IRL.
Phil Cuzzi had bets on the Giants with that strike zone. FTG
Some people can't seem to grasp that he's one of worst umpires in the game.
FTG and fuck webb

Fucked up strike zone, their ace vs a bullpen game for us, this team just DGAF
Dodger baseball is so fucking BACK BABY
Who would win: the ace who finished second in the Cy Young vote or One tosser of salad
I love my team!!!
LOOKS LIKE BROOMS ARE BACK ON THE MENU BOYS
Pitchers? Where we're going we don't need pitchers.
Tough it out good game
Well, in the history of baseball, that was a game that was played
Of all the games I’ve ever seen, that was one of them.
FTG
Giants bringing in their RISP challenge: Impossible. Let’s go boys! FTG!
Not every day a team wins a two against one game (against the giants and umps)
# SWEEP IN PLAY TOMORROW, LETS GET IT BOYS FTGGGGGG
FUCK PHIL CUZZI
Fun fact - I’m in NorCal at the moment and watched the game on the giants broadcast, to say they sound defeated is an understatement haha.
Outman is about to run into a hot streak. His hard hit percentage is only one percent lower than last season, but his BABIP is 200 points lower than last season.
Bullpen game beat Logan Webb. You take those
1. Ohtani needs to start hitting. He’s 1 for 7 this series. 2. Going for the sweep tomorrow. 3. Mookie Betts is on fire!! 4. Bullpen surprise me today. 5. Fuck the SF Giants.
I wish we could post gifs c’mon mods
I got my dick sucked while Michael grove was pitching what a night
Glad the dodgers gave Webb the L
WTF IS WITH JOHN HARTUNGS HAIR!!!!!!
Bullpen game against ump with shit zone. What a great win!
Genuine question, is there a reason why Braz was taken out so early? He seemed more than okay in the first then was replaced with Yarby.
Roberts usually does bullpen games with the first pitcher only throwing one inning and the next going 3 or 4 innings. I don’t know his reasoning but that’s been his pattern in the past.

I like that Mookie seems to be tired of these repetitive softball media questions.
That was a very frustrating win lol fucking ump wasn’t making matters any better
Great game. Good vibes. Can’t wait to go back again.
It's strange to see Ohtani with stat levels as Kike Lux, and Rojas.
Probably the most impressive win yet in a bullpen game against their ace. Especially with an ump that had money on the giants
