The #Dodgers, on a quest for a three-peat, are 15-4. That's a 128-34 pace. It is an absolute joy to watch this truly phenomenal juggernaut!

The @Dodgers haven’t started a season 15-4 in 49 years 😯

This is why the Dodgers are the best-run franchise in baseball. Andrew Friedman, rather than trading his prospects, keeps them and figures things out later. He kept Dalton Rushing even with Will Smith in the fold, and now Rushing is breaking out.

@BrockS25595 @MLB @Cardinals Guy poured his heart out for the team for 3 years. Played 101% every day. Fans in STL recognize and appreciate that.

@MLB @Cardinals did absolutely nothing btw… not even a single playoff appearance. deadass giving standing ovations for no reason now

Willson Contreras gets a warm ovation from @Cardinals fans in his return to Busch Stadium 👏

@ChrisCoop_ They want us all to worship the Dodgers

I think Dodger fans are living proof that sports fandom might just be a continuous cycle of misery for most people regardless of team performance. This fanbase has: - watched their team win back to back WS in a row, beating rival teams on the path to doing so - continuously own every team the Dodgers are rivals with - always have exciting home grown talent to watch throughout every level of their farm - root for the best player all time - have an owner worth hundreds of billions of dollars that spends endless money on the franchise And still find ways to cry, be miserable, and complain about what other teams are doing on the internet lol. Man, if I watched my team win back to back I'd log tf off the internet for years and not feel an ounce of suffering for a decade minimum😂

@MLBGuyRocked This guy was so fun to watch

Torii Hunter That guy rocked.

@gatewaygrinders @TheAthletic They only care about dodgers

Not having an @TheAthletic writer for the Cardinals is criminal.

@TonyFazio11 @dodgers_burner The one example everyone uses… Because of how shocking it was they missed the playoffs. because spending correlates with winning and everyone knows it

@TSmithNotSwift @dodgers_burner I’m sure the Mets GM would disagree with you.

@TSmithNotSwift What did the Cardinals know that the Nationals didn’t? 🤣🤣🤣

@dodgersrpeit @dodgers_burner If you’d like to make believe that the Dodgers success is because the fans care so much, then go ahead. Fans of small market teams also care. But their owners are not as rich and their cities are not as large. Need parameters to work within

@dodgersrpeit @dodgers_burner What a mean thing to say to someone. The problem is the advantages monetarily that that gives a team. We need a cap and a floor, parameters, to level the playing field. Just like every other sport. It should be about drafting, developing, and trading. Not just a big market

@dodgersrpeit @dodgers_burner Richer owner and bigger market. So, much more money to use for payroll. Take a peek at the 30 team payrolls and you’ll see it. Don’t be disingenuous and say that every team can spend like them because they surely cannot.

@TSmithNotSwift @dodgers_burner The Dodgers play under the same rules as any other team. Not sure what the “advantage” is.

@MenIn_Uniform @_Nookie89 Those are issues and those issues are part of what is creating the disparity. All those have to be addressed. And you should stop the ad hominem arguments. Or just straight up meanness even.

@TSmithNotSwift @_Nookie89 youre not suggesting a better system moron you hop on here everyday to cry about the dodgers and wanting a cap when the league has bigger issues like revenue sharing and teams not having TV deals. Youre clearly ill intent on your narratives ✌️

Baseball is growing in popularity, so owners want to undercut how much they will give to the players to maximize their profits. Yo, just say you cuck for billionaires, it's that's easy.

@MenIn_Uniform @_Nookie89 Lol point proven by your response. Having a dissenting opinion is not crying. Over 50% of fans are not crying, but suggesting a better system is needed.

@TSmithNotSwift @_Nookie89 I dont blame them you choose to see things ignorantly and then cry its them not you have a good day

@MenIn_Uniform @_Nookie89 Nope, but you should see some of the mean spirited replies I get for suggesting the league is imbalanced and needs a cap system just like every other sport. You should see the insults. Certainly would not want my fan base represented that way.

@TSmithNotSwift @_Nookie89 thank you for proving my point that youre just a hater of the dodgers and los angeles as a whole youre complaints are all in placed in bias reasons reasons. have a good day

@MenIn_Uniform @_Nookie89 I’m interested in every fan base having a chance. I’m interested in a league that isn’t just all about the top five biggest markets.

@TSmithNotSwift @_Nookie89 so you dont want teams making more money. got it.

@MenIn_Uniform @_Nookie89 I think what they are doing is bad for the game and proof of an unbalanced system. And I do think there is a West Coast elitism that seems to come out anytime a cap is mentioned. People get extremely mean to anyone who has a opinion different than them

@TSmithNotSwift @_Nookie89 nah you just dont like the dodgers and apparently LA as a whole none of your complaints are valid in the betterment of the game, youre just bitter the dodgers are winning. got it bud.

@MenIn_Uniform @_Nookie89 Here’s a legit reason: parity for the game. Chances for small markers. No built in advantages for big markets. Equal parameters. Success based on skill, not just who has most money or market size

@TSmithNotSwift @_Nookie89 see just a hater 0 legit reasons why you make the arguments you do other than you dont like the dodgers

@MenIn_Uniform @_Nookie89 Lol there’s that LA elitism again. Yes, anybody who thinks the league needs economic balance is an idiot. Anyone who doesn’t think the Dodgers should be given a playoff berth every year must be a moron.

@TSmithNotSwift @_Nookie89 if you represent the average MLB fan then ig MLB fans are low IQ if they refuse to see bigger issues wanna sweep it up for their billionaire owners

@_Nookie89 @MenIn_Uniform I’m not saying it wasn’t an important trade. I’m saying, that trade has absolutely nothing to do with the need for a cap and a floor. He is not one of those hundred million dollar players that you guys have eight or nine of. He is not a superstar.

@TSmithNotSwift @MenIn_Uniform If you don't understand how important a trade like that was to winning a world series, it shows how little you understand baseball.

@MenIn_Uniform @_Nookie89 There has always been disparity and I’ve always been the belief that we need a cap and floor. But over the last five years, it has exponentially gotten worse. It’s very easy to see. Just look at your team. Mostly all from other teams.

@TSmithNotSwift @_Nookie89 its beent that way for decades now again youre justad the dodgers are having success NOW you're crying like they won 10 WS in a row. hell I bet you didnt even know about the TV deal and revenue sharing till this past year
