@daltine_cracker Baseless complaint. Nothing to compare it to as there no other 2 way players to compare if they get the same umpire discretion. Also, it’s not like Ohtani loafs and takes his time off the bases, to the dugout, to the mound

No he's not. It ain't like he has to put catchers gear on. Pitchers had to hit for over a 100 years with no problem. MLB shouldn't change the rules to coddle ohtani

@amornerazzurro This is a baseless argument because no other player pitches and hits. It’d only be something if there were others and only Ohtani was given extra time at the umps discretion.

You get special treatment and still have the nerve to bitch and moan when others point it out. Yea that’s the entire Dodger ecosystem in a nutshell

@Daniele_Media @Sportsnet If there was a pitcher on the base paths for a different, I’d assume they’d get the same discrepancy in spirit of the rule

Some drama between the #BlueJays and #Dodgers. George Springer approached HP umpire Dan Bellino to inquire about the amount of warmup time for Shohei Ohtani. Dave Roberts was visibly annoyed in the dugout. (📹: @sportsnet) #BlueJays50

@JeffSpiegel @awitrado Bummer. Loved when you hosted and really felt after the spring training meet up you and Anthony’s chemistry was only going to continue to grow up and to the right

Some personal news: This week marks my last with DodgerBlue/DodgerHeads. This wasn’t a decision I made—I’m truly bummed to step away—but a new sponsorship created a conflict with my full-time job, and unfortunately after proposing a few paths, things didn’t line up for me to stay

@cronikboom @BRWalkoff I got what you were saying. I was making a tongue and cheek joke there were no calls the umpires made that were as questionable as last night’s balk or as egregious and costly as the Jays base running

@burbankdodger @BRWalkoff The dig was meant for Schneider and his lack of enthusiasm when it counted. No arguing the base running errors

Blue Jays manager John Schneider EJECTED from tonight's game after a called balk 👀

@cronikboom @BRWalkoff Other than numerous base running errors by the Jays, what botched calls are you referring to?

@BRWalkoff Would've liked to see him get this animated with some of the botched calls in the World Series

@rayoflight_m @UCLADodgerFrank @BlueJays Checks game notes. Mookie Betts, Kike, Edman on il. All starters from last year’s team. Throw in Snell and you need to research better

@UCLADodgerFrank @BlueJays you know there’s such thing as sore winners too asshole, by the way, doesn’t help that half our team is fucking injured. Meanwhile, none of your team is so fuck off.

@BOSSportsGordo Have you owned a truck?

Serious question for people who back into parking spaces - what’s the point?

@Viper_D_Spades @LADodgersMuse All of this is true. However, that was game 1 of a series. Miggy Ro saved the season. There is an easy argument

@LADodgersMuse Playing on a bad leg, after what his family went through earlier in the year, knowing the type of person he is and it was against the Yankees…yea it’s extremely difficult to argue this not being #1.

Is it even a question? Freddie Freeman’s walk off grand slam is one of the best OF ALL TIME. I don’t think we’ll see another moment like this for a while.

@StephenNelson @kickpunchturn @BoyslnBIue Keep up the great work Stephen. Been a fan of yours since MLB network

@kickpunchturn Thx, Ryley! But it’s OK @BoyslnBIue’s entitled to that. Funny thing is nobody hates my own work more than I do😂 FWIW, DM’s open for constructive feedback. But if it’s my voice/face, then sorry😬we go separate ways, rooting for the same thing: Dodger W’s. Either way, all good! 🤙

put some damn respect on @StephenNelson

@DTSports77 @DanClarkSports Pages had a bad postseason. Regular season first full season at age 24. 272/27 HR/ 86 rbi/plus glove, 3.8 war. Unlikely he’s replaced. You’re right 2B will be upgraded. Edman is coming back

@DanClarkSports Pages and 2B will likely be upgraded by playoffs 🙄

This #Dodgers lineup is simply unrelenting. There is danger all the way though, 1 to 9. If one guy doesn't get it done, you can almost guarantee the next guy will. Built for success, they will not be stopped. What a juggernaut - so fun to watch!

@HebHammer94 @jakethorndike Would you say Kobe was sensitive from his famous, “Job’s not finished!” response to a reporter when asked following winning a game in the finals?

@jakethorndike Taunting? This is my issue with US fans. So deeply sensitive. Have some fun, it’s baseball!

Perspective on the DR’s baseball dominance—the entire country’s population is roughly ~11.5M. That’s about 320M less people than the United States. And STILL, they’re a global baseball powerhouse. Coolest guys around. Always rooting for DR 🫡🇩🇴

@wizecrax @mdnate9 @BNightengale Apparently they didn’t. There’s more in game examples. Only person embarrassing themself is Derosa. Even today’s presser stating he knew both U.S. and Italy were 2-0, when in fact U.S. was 3-0. We could stop this going in circles now. IMO, he’s unfit for this job

@burbankdodger @mdnate9 @BNightengale Are you actually still talking? Gunnar is far better than Bregman no? Simply put, Stop the embarrassing narrative that the entire US team from staff to players didn’t understand the win conditions going into the game. They were playing fucking Italy dude. Insanely low IQ

Mark DeRosa: ‘We did not lose sight of the fact that we had to go out and play well against Italy. They played a hell of a game. They smacked us in the mouth early. They got up big. We went into that game prepared to win it. I think there's a couple false narratives out there. But, no, I was well aware that we had to win that game based on all the scenarios that could take place. I mean, they went in 2-0. We went in 2-0. And we knew they were playing Mexico the next day. We knew there was tiebreaker rules involved.’

@wizecrax @mdnate9 @BNightengale You’re contradicting yourself using performance. Harper’s 2 game performance. Your logic would thus say Goldy shouldn’t play because a larger recent sample size suggests he’s a platoon bat at best with this team. Same token, why Clement over Turang? Turang better so far correct?

@burbankdodger @mdnate9 @BNightengale Over Bryce Harper* who was being openly mocked for sucking all tournament** in a game against fucking Italy? Yeah I don’t hate it. Goldy got a hit. It worked. Thanks for playing dude

@CalicoJoeMLB My dream is to hang out with them in the clubhouse. DeRo sounds more like a fan boy. He’s an unserious manager

“There’s a couple false narratives out there. I was well aware that we had to win that game based on all the scenarios. They went in 2-0. We went in 2-0.” Mark DeRosa still has no idea what’s going on. Team USA was 3-0. He’s in a blender.

@wizecrax @mdnate9 @BNightengale Goldy was an mvp 4 years ago. More recently, last year he had the 5th worst plate performance vs rhp. You think that’s the move to start him over a lefty bat against a right handed starter?

@burbankdodger @mdnate9 @BNightengale Harper still pinch hit dude. Goldy was an MVP not that long ago. They were playing Italy. Goldy got a hit. PCA got 2 homers and Gunnar got one too. The moves were smart. This narrative is fucking embarrassing

@wizecrax @mdnate9 @BNightengale You’re basing Harper’s performance on 2 baseball games. We know that happens and is a blip. Your logic suggests Pasquantino you would’ve been ok sitting based on his 2 game performance and look what happened in his third game

@mdnate9 @BNightengale Because Harper was hitting like shit and Goldy got a hit. Gunnar got a HR. PCA hit 2. His moves worked and anyone still pushing this dumbass fucking narrative at this point is low IQ full stop

@midpushMike @andersonirpfpca @LauraPowellEsq You do realize how in practical that is right?

@andersonirpfpca @LauraPowellEsq The Dodgers could train in Arizona, and only come to California to play on Game Days.

If California sports teams start losing top players due to the state’s excessive taxes, will more people wake up to the damage caused by the Democrat supermajority?

@GarlicFryRy @nothereasof2022 Busch never played a minor league game for the cubs, Pepiot made 17 starts for the dodgers. Yet, they were developed by other teams?

@nothereasof2022 They were developed by other teams

I love this because the Dodgers will finally get exposed for their overrated farm system. How’s Bobby Miller, Dalton Rushing, Miguel Vargas, Jeter Downs, Alex Verdugo & Diego Cartaya doing again??? 🤭

@InsideUSC @JohnJClendening Team is 4th in the conference in rebounding. By and large that’s not the issue. There’s flaws. That’s not one of them

@JohnJClendening they were outrebounded, 41-25

Thanks, Musselman!
