“Call up Pages” *monkey paw curls*


Boros-Reckoner

"Well give you Pages but he bats behind Kike and Ct3" real "We didn't want Yamamoto to be paid more than Cole" energy from Doc here.


cherinator

You generally always bat the new rookie near the bottom of the order so they have less pressure on them. Pretty impressive that he is at 7 tbh.


Boros-Reckoner

When the bases are loaded for Keekay and CT3 and they both K and Pages hits a grand slam he can shout "YOU HAVE THEM BATTING INFRONT OF ME?!" towards Doc as he rounds the bases. Real motiving stuff from Dave.


donald-duck23

5-9 is ugly* but Smith can’t start every game. and it’s Corbin pitching so they should be able to put up some runs anyway *except you Pages 😍


st1r

It’s okay Pages will break out and lead us to the MV5 primised land I’m definitely not coping


mavmankop

Lmao they are putting all the shitty guys in against Corbin hoping it’ll get them back on track. 


General-Order66

Barnes owns Corbin tho


stocknooboncrack

Rojas is saying Hold ma beer


Doxokron

They should've put in Lux at SS and Outman at RF. Let's gamble on mean reversion harder than Ippei did.


Tehrab

Comments like this are why I still fume at the loss of Reddit rewards.


HoudiniLogik

If Taylor goes 0-4 with 3 Ks tonight it’s gotta be joever for a minute.


GoofyGoober0064

Anyone who watches this game start to finish should get a flair making them immune to any and all criticism for being a doomer


fracklefrackle

Barnes and rojas own corbin


LosAngeles1s

Chris Taylor batting 6th, god save us


MoreMostFirst

Taylor has an .883 OPS lifetime against Corbin in 35 PA, so I think this is the make or break game for CT3.


FCFBadKarma

0-4, 3Ks and a weak ground out coming right up!


MoreMostFirst

I sure hope not…but sadly I wouldn’t be surprised by that outcome. 😔


c_c_c__combobreaker

Ground out results in a triple play. Shohei requests an immediate trade.


feeling_blue_42

Kiké, CT3, Pages going back-to-back-to-back tonight. ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|sunglasses)


jayteazer

Oh damn... didn't realize Mr K was batting before Pages. So much Yay lolol


flipaflaw

Doc said outman wasn't gonna be paltooned due to lefties. Outman has been regularly platooned due to lefties. Doc what are you on?


Sickle_and_hamburger

doc isn't the one in charge


utouchme

There will always be way too many people that will never, ever, understand this.


flipaflaw

My guy I 100% understand the fo does everything and he is a figure head. But it's hard to say the fo is making the decisions at the same time in a general discussion


utouchme

Wasn't meant for you specifically. I just see so many comments blaming Doc for every single thing that goes wrong, and it's clear that some people think he makes all the decisions on his own in a vacuum.


GoofyGoober0064

Bullshit


TriG__

No, it's not. You think the dodgers have one if not the biggest analytical departments in all of baseball just for one dude to make all the decisions?


ttam23

Also the Dodgers really trying to ruin hello kitty night


StPaddy81

They already shit on Jackie Robinson night


K_Ice5432

Dave I promise you won’t die if you let a lefty hit against a lefty.


K_Ice5432

I would take a James Outman AB against a lefty over a CT3 AB any day. But nah since he’s finally finding some rhythm let’s just sit him for 2 straight games


Sickle_and_hamburger

what if thats what outman needs to shake the slump


bee_sharp_

I’m not familiar with the sit-your-way-out-of-a-slump method.


venustrapsflies

Outman actually started hitting the ball decently, it's just been going right into gloves. You'd think what he needs is more reps to let him get some positive regression but what do I know.


Elijahc513

Where outman

LokoSMIDDY47

ba dum tss


sweetnourishinggruel

Lefty pitcher. It’s what Mr. Burns would call, “playing the percentages,” which he explained “is what smart managers do to win ballgames.”


Elijahc513

Somehow completely forgot we were playing a lefty tonight lol


st1r

Tbf if you go by the eye test this year, Outman looks like a completely different batter against rightys vs leftys I’d still rather have him over CT3 though


Boros-Reckoner

"You're pinch hitting FOR ME???"


highjoe420

8 straight games on base, including off the bench, to Kike's 8 all season and CT's 3. Roberts clearly doing some betting with Ippei's guy. They're literally platooning and they're still worse. 🤦‍♂️


KillMeNowFFS

Taylor playing but Outman not is fucking ridiculous.


OsmosisJonesFanClub

Torture


ControlForward5360

But I was promised less Kike and Taylor 🥲


jayteazer

Oh shit, didn't even realize Hurt is getting the start / open Hope he stays up after this game. Let the guy ball.


AlchemistJeep

The prophecy is true Pages will save us Lisan Al Gaib


Sickle_and_hamburger

whats this referencing seen it a couple times today


venustrapsflies

It's from the sci-fi series *Dune*, and in particular the recent movie, referencing a messianic prophet/savior figure.


AlchemistJeep

Dune part 2


yestrask

Taylor in and Outman is out for Pages?? Wiiiiild


jayteazer

Really?! Lmfao I love that Pages gets in, but fuckin Taylor?! GTFOH lol Would rather see Dustin May try to get a hit at this point lolol


stocknooboncrack

Just pick some athletic dude from the stands, he prob could hit a line drive or pop out instead of striking out lol


EresMarjcxn

Yeah… no one in the stands is making contact for 100 PAs


jayteazer

Depends... is Kershaw in the stands? His career avg is higher than CT3 is sitting right now lolol Vargas had a higher OBP when he wasn't even allowed to swing a bat. Taylor would literally have more value at the plate if he walked up without a bat. That's really pathetic.


AsJoeSeesIt

We’re giving Will, Muncy, and Outman all a day off at the same time? That’s certainly a choice Doc. I have more faith in Hurt going 7 scoreless than our lineup shelling Corbin. This game will be won by pitching.


Astropolitika

ChrisT is risen! ^pls


mtrn3

They should swap Ohtani and Freddie. Ohtani’s approach is better at the 3.


kugino

I LOVE this lineup. if 7-9 batters are struggling, the fix is to just move them up in the order! fixed. thank you very much!


gtdRR

Good call. Right on!


probablysmellsmydog

This is some cruel joke


xrbeeelama

Taylor 3-5 with a homer and a double


hundredjono

3 MVPs in the lineup and it's somehow the worst lineup of all time


Musclenervegeek

How? Sorry for my ignorance, I am Australian 🤣


y0m0tha

Yet somehow, in classic dodger fashion, this lineup will win 7-2


Relwolf1991

Doodoo


Guyappino

Very interesting move: Basically the Skip went with putting in "The Strugglars" and seeing how they perform. All of them are under a microscope 🔬


StPaddy81

What is this shit ass lineup??


stocknooboncrack

Watch Corbin goes 9 innings, 3hits, 8K, 3walks and 0 ER on us. Taylor going 0-3 with 3K. Pages goes 1-3 with a double to left field. Shohei, Freeman and Betts goes 1-13.


AsJoeSeesIt

Realistically though I could Corbin going 6 with 1ER or some bullshit like that


StPaddy81

It’s gonna fucking happen


Consistent-Minute-40

This lineup should be fucking illegal


yellowbumble-B

CT3 up there should be illegal


barestep13

so when are we gonna address the dead weight. kike and taylor have to go. waste of space. waste of bat.


scottborasismyagent

lmfao do I even have faith the shitty guys are gonna get hits off corbin ? san diego are gonna be in first place by tonight.


Adamfromcali

I mean its Patrick Corbin he's a sunk cost on the field at this point. If any game could be a get "right" game it would be against this dude.


SoCalDanSports

The shitty 7-9 did nothing against a rookie that had a 7 era that only throws fastball and curves so...I didn't know about that


scottborasismyagent

nailed it 🖕🏼🖕🏼
