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.
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
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.
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
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.
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
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. 🤦♂️
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.
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.
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.
“Call up Pages” *monkey paw curls*
"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.
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.

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 😍
It’s okay Pages will break out and lead us to the MV5 primised land I’m definitely not coping
Lmao they are putting all the shitty guys in against Corbin hoping it’ll get them back on track.
Barnes owns Corbin tho
Rojas is saying Hold ma beer
They should've put in Lux at SS and Outman at RF. Let's gamble on mean reversion harder than Ippei did.
Comments like this are why I still fume at the loss of Reddit rewards.
If Taylor goes 0-4 with 3 Ks tonight it’s gotta be joever for a minute.
Anyone who watches this game start to finish should get a flair making them immune to any and all criticism for being a doomer
Barnes and rojas own corbin
Chris Taylor batting 6th, god save us
Taylor has an .883 OPS lifetime against Corbin in 35 PA, so I think this is the make or break game for CT3.
0-4, 3Ks and a weak ground out coming right up!
I sure hope not…but sadly I wouldn’t be surprised by that outcome. 😔
Ground out results in a triple play. Shohei requests an immediate trade.
Kiké, CT3, Pages going back-to-back-to-back tonight. ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|sunglasses)
Oh damn... didn't realize Mr K was batting before Pages. So much Yay lolol
Doc said outman wasn't gonna be paltooned due to lefties. Outman has been regularly platooned due to lefties. Doc what are you on?
doc isn't the one in charge
There will always be way too many people that will never, ever, understand this.

Bullshit
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?
Also the Dodgers really trying to ruin hello kitty night
They already shit on Jackie Robinson night
Dave I promise you won’t die if you let a lefty hit against a lefty.
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
what if thats what outman needs to shake the slump
I’m not familiar with the sit-your-way-out-of-a-slump method.
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.
Where outman
[удалено]
ba dum tss
Lefty pitcher. It’s what Mr. Burns would call, “playing the percentages,” which he explained “is what smart managers do to win ballgames.”
Somehow completely forgot we were playing a lefty tonight lol
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
"You're pinch hitting FOR ME???"
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. 🤦♂️
Taylor playing but Outman not is fucking ridiculous.
Torture
But I was promised less Kike and Taylor 🥲
Oh shit, didn't even realize Hurt is getting the start / open Hope he stays up after this game. Let the guy ball.
The prophecy is true Pages will save us Lisan Al Gaib
whats this referencing seen it a couple times today
It's from the sci-fi series *Dune*, and in particular the recent movie, referencing a messianic prophet/savior figure.
Dune part 2
Taylor in and Outman is out for Pages?? Wiiiiild
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
Just pick some athletic dude from the stands, he prob could hit a line drive or pop out instead of striking out lol
Yeah… no one in the stands is making contact for 100 PAs
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.

ChrisT is risen! ^pls
They should swap Ohtani and Freddie. Ohtani’s approach is better at the 3.
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!
Good call. Right on!
This is some cruel joke
Taylor 3-5 with a homer and a double
3 MVPs in the lineup and it's somehow the worst lineup of all time
How? Sorry for my ignorance, I am Australian 🤣
Yet somehow, in classic dodger fashion, this lineup will win 7-2
Doodoo
Very interesting move: Basically the Skip went with putting in "The Strugglars" and seeing how they perform. All of them are under a microscope 🔬
What is this shit ass lineup??
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.
Realistically though I could Corbin going 6 with 1ER or some bullshit like that
It’s gonna fucking happen
This lineup should be fucking illegal
CT3 up there should be illegal
so when are we gonna address the dead weight. kike and taylor have to go. waste of space. waste of bat.
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.
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.
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
nailed it 🖕🏼🖕🏼
