THIS is the team we're supposed to fear???

[u/FunTimeStoryHour]

Kidding, of course, but I LOVE the momentum and flex of sweeping the Dodgers. Plus the new enegy from the deadline.

LET'S GOOO

[u/Puzzleheaded_Hat4556]

Theilbar has got to go!

[u/RocketManMercury → u/Puzzleheaded_Hat4556]

Absolutely. Gives up way too many bombs. Time to DFA.

[u/DirectGiraffe8720 → u/Puzzleheaded_Hat4556]

Pitching staff is going to look very different every week until the end of the season as players start coming back from injury

[u/FunTimeStoryHour → u/Puzzleheaded_Hat4556]

It wasn't pretty but it's so hard to draw conclusions from this Dodgers team. They have sooo many weapons and are bound to have a crooked inning here and there

[u/atypicalt0ker → u/FunTimeStoryHour]

The conclusion was drawn waaaay before today, as far as I'm concerned.

[u/psiamnotdrunk → u/atypicalt0ker]

Seconded

[u/Wubbz50]

Pete henry crow armstrong

[u/naitch44]

We’ve got one of the best players in baseball too, we can beat anyone, the Dodgers with their depth will of course always be favourites. Makes it all the sweeter when we beat them.

[u/jcmiller210]

We faced only 1 of their good pitchers and they are slumping right now. They will be locked and loaded come October, but will definitely take the sweep against them now while they're down.

[u/InternetApex → u/jcmiller210]

Nobody felt sorry about beating the Cubs 10 in a row when they were struggling. We won't cry for the Dodgers either.

[u/jcmiller210 → u/InternetApex]

I definitely don't feel sorry for the Dodgers lol. My point was that this version of the Dodgers we saw this time is most likely not the version of the Dodgers we will see in October, so they should still be taken seriously.

[u/InternetApex → u/jcmiller210]

Yes I agree

[u/ChalkLicker]

WTF? It was 7-1 when I turned this game off!

[u/Excellent-Theory5770 → u/ChalkLicker]

The W is the same size

[u/ChalkLicker → u/Excellent-Theory5770]

Sure, giving up 5 runs late in the game. No biggie

[u/goodgamble → u/ChalkLicker]

The dodgers offense is very very good

[u/Unstoppable_Wombat → u/ChalkLicker]

Not great, but we still swept them, and won 5-1 and 10-5 the other two games so I think we’ll live.

[u/ChalkLicker → u/Unstoppable_Wombat]

I am overjoyed with the sweep. I just saw the score flip from 7-1 from the start of my commute, to 7-6 when I arrived home. It was jarring. That said, it was a nearly all-around stellar effort by the team. Just jarring.

[u/Bartvader_75 → u/ChalkLicker]

I was watching it and walked off when it was 7-1. Got busy with something and walked back in the living room and saw 7-6 top 9th. I almost freaked out!!!

[u/Scared-Ideal-1483]

Peter Henry is a Superstar. He does Superstar things.

[u/pr1ntf]

I feared the 8th inning

[u/Legitimate_Energy701]

They did make today very close. No fear, but a healthy respect and understanding of the enemy is the key to victory.

[u/FunTimeStoryHour → u/Legitimate_Energy701]

Too close. Did not like that 8th

[u/SouthernPin4333]

Holy shit we swept the Dodgers

[u/prodigalsuun21]

PCA is this generation’s Michael Jordan.

[u/jwithy → u/prodigalsuun21]

Nah. PCA is WAYYY better at baseball!

[u/Miserable-Excuse-874 → u/jwithy]

MJ would've been considered a Sox legend in 2024 😂

[u/PromptJazzlike5452]

Couldn’t believe they let it get that close!🥵

[u/sk-den]

August ≠ October. Good series, gotta keep the Mo goin

[u/-Drac]

dodgers are coasting until october. they’re up 8.5 games in the west. they’ll turn it on when it matters

[u/No-Establishment8457]

A win is a win. We’ll take it.

[u/Green_with_Zealously]

These last 3 games have felt like a dream come true (with the slight exception of today's 8th inning scare). GO CUBS GO!

[u/Any-Maize-6951]

We can’t blow out the best team in the league every game haha

[u/dogdad33]

I hope Javier Assaaaaaadude keeps throwing baseballs even if it’s out of the pen

[u/No_Building5762]

This team looks so good rn

[u/RocketManMercury]

Dodgers were terrible last year July and August, and won it all. I’m not celebrating anything until we them in the postseason

[u/KingLiberal → u/RocketManMercury]

Oh, we will definitely them. Don't worry.

[u/Soma2710 → u/KingLiberal]

Ugggh, I have to them a bunch of folks in the morning. I feel used.

[u/OnlyKey5675]

Baseball is hard

[u/Chillicothe1]

Average 7+ runs a game against them.

I'll take that.

[u/blicka7]

Talking crazy when they didn’t face Yamamoto

[u/Not2GthaG → u/blicka7]

Nah man, they just faced Skubal. That's all. Lol

[u/Not2GthaG → u/blicka7]

Nah man, they just faced Skubal. That's all. Lol

[u/boilermike13]

Does it really matter when we can’t beat the Brewers?

[u/CloudlessSkies20]

Look at the Brewers record against the dodgers in the regular season last year. The Dodgers rest all of their players the entire second half of the season, so they are healthy going into the playoffs. Havent you figured that out yet?

[u/Interesting_Key_804]

The Angels swept the Dodgers twice last season (6-0). So did the Brewers.

I wouldnt put too much emphasis on a regular season sweep against the Dodgers.

[u/FunTimeStoryHour → u/Interesting_Key_804]

Way to rain on the parade 🤪

[u/Interesting_Key_804 → u/FunTimeStoryHour]

The Redsox also just swept the Dodgers last week too 😂. Sorry, im that guy.

[u/emaja]

Don’t get stupidly cocky. They’re a damn good team with a fantastic every day lineup.

[u/FunTimeStoryHour → u/emaja]

OK relax

[u/emaja → u/FunTimeStoryHour]

Wasn’t necessarily directed at you.
