Not sure if this team, including Counsell, is ready for the pressure they’re about to be under. They really need a win today.

It's April 12th. There's no pressure. I know we all want them to win every game, but these players and coaches have been here before. They know it's April. Even if they lose, it's just noise. 

This is a team that was largely in the playoffs last year together. They aren't sweating games in April like fans are.

Nico last struck out 26 at bats ago.

Did the owner just give up on them?

Didn't Rickett buy those up

when did O'Neil Cruz become such a disciplined hitter

[chibears55]

Don't lose this game now by giving up a run in 9th

Being in last place with a 38% chance to make the playoffs is not noise

If I were Brandon Lowe I'd be quite mad right now.

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

Thanks ump

[Andy]

That is a horrible no swing call. Let's make it a story

Great time for our first walk off of the year. 
 

actually yesterday would have been but I’ll take today too

[jorbloss]

Conforto! Who’d have thunk

[JHBulls]

There is no scapegoating Conforto today. 

[chibears55]

Conforto keeps this up, I might start liking him 🤣

[Eeyore]

Conforto got a hit?

[Old Style]

Win, dummies. 

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

Teams have these stretches, my guy. From May 4th to May 19th the Dodgers went 6-9 last year. They were swept by the Angels and lost a series to the Arizona Diamondbacks. Here is a Dodger's fan' reddit post from that time period: Link here.

You're only focusing on this stretch because we focus on the beginning more than we do other arbitrarily. It'll be fine. There's no pressure.

[UMFan83]

Nice piece of hitting Conforto

[JBears79]

Maybe he does have something left. 

[mk49]

I will never complain about Conforto again.  

[Jason Ross]

Sorry. Michael. I left you for dead too quick.

he has several!

[Jason Ross]

That's why we signed Bregman. For his gamebreaking speed.
