    Hopefully they can at least get a couple of baserunners here and make it interesting
  2. PeanutPunch33
    Bill Murray lol
  3. PeanutPunch33
    Interesting, I stand corrected. Hopefully he keeps it up. Lineup is completely different when he's on his game.
  4. PeanutPunch33
    oh lol. Still, he doesn't look like the same guy to me.
  5. PeanutPunch33
    Nico's regression or whatever is going on is so depressing. Guy can't get anything going for a 10-15 game stretch
  6. PeanutPunch33
    I don't understand the hype on that guy. He doesn't strike many people out, he doesn't have good secondary pitches and he's not exactly a young - he'll be 28 next season. I've heard some call him the "best controllable arm available" at the deadline yet I don't see what makes him better than Detmers, Soriano, Greene. etc. I wouldn't trade Shaw for him, let alone Seiya ++

    I want no part of this head case, but don't be surprised to see Jarren Duran get traded in the coming days. They already have a crowded OF but with his antics, they might sell low on him just to get rid of him.

    This team is so much fun.
  9. PeanutPunch33
    bring back Webb for another inning
  10. PeanutPunch33
    I can't wait until this guy is DFA'd
  11. PeanutPunch33
    Busch!
  12. PeanutPunch33
    the defense is special
  13. PeanutPunch33
    After what he did in 2025, Busch has been disappointing a bit in '26...
  14. PeanutPunch33
    that was awesome
  15. PeanutPunch33
    outside of 1 swing the offense has been shut down the last 15 innings. Need to get something going

    If the definition of "good for the sport" is just the viewership ratings, then I can't disagree. The Dodgers have a large enough fanbase that the "ratings" will always be great when they are good. But if the league's goal is to grow the game outside of LA and NY then I just don't see it as a positive thing. Fans in Cleveland, Detroit, Baltimore should feel like their team has a chance to win it all some day. I would be stunned if a team like the Athletics win a championship in the next 50 years. It shouldn't be like that.

    Couldn't an alternative explanation for this be that these are just crappy tiny fanbases relative to others? Texas is a football state, and Arizona is not exactly a sports haven. If the Cubs and Red Sox faced each other in the WS this year it would shatter every record for viewership. I'm pretty sure the NBA Finals were up there in viewership between the Knicks and Spurs, the Knicks not having been there in ages. Same with football - you and I both know the ratings would be thru the roof if the Cowboys went to the SB.

    The difference is that those teams won organically, with the exception of the Heat, and thanks to the efforts of the Spurs and Mavs I'm not sure I'd call them a dynasty. The Warriors drafted Steph, Draymond, Klay. The Bulls drafted MJ and traded for Pippen on draft day... isn't that different than a team like the Dodgers just outspending everyone and buying championships? They bought Ohtani, they bought Yamamoto, they bought Roki, they bought Freeman, they bought Snell, they bought Scott, they bought Hernandez, they bought Tucker. Outside of a few guys they just outspend everyone (which is their right and if the Cubs did that I'd be thrilled... but it's still bad for the sport). Then they can make huge trades because a team that has that kind of spending power doesn't need to prospect hug the way other teams do... so now they have Betts and soon Skubal to the mix. It's a well oiled machine that nobody else can come close to touching. Parity is a good thing for sports. Fans should feel like their team has a pathway to a championship or at least a chance to be something other than cannon fodder for the Dodgers. Btw I'm not suggesting a salary cap for MLB... I'm more so at a loss why teams like the Yankees/Cubs/Mets/Red Sox don't operate in this way or can't get their organizations to a point where they can compete with the Dodgers.
  19. PeanutPunch33
    Lack of parity is bad for any sport… but yeah if it happens they deserve it. They have a great organization. But I’m sure a lot of fans will start asking questions like “what’s the point of watching if the Dodgers are just going to win it every single year?” and that isn’t good for the sport, IMO
  20. PeanutPunch33
    why not just start the inning with Rolison. Play to win
  21. PeanutPunch33
    can he record a horsefeathers out
  22. PeanutPunch33
    Too many holes to fill in one off season to not bring him back imo. a 1 year, 14-15 mill deal makes a lot of sense
  23. PeanutPunch33
    Let’s horsefeathers gooooo
  24. PeanutPunch33
    Nico will swing at anything
  25. PeanutPunch33
    I don’t see how the Cubs don’t bring Boyd back this off season. He’s a #3 on almost any team. Admittedly some injury risk there but what an acquisition
