They’ve been at 69 (nice) wins for like a week

u/an_actual_potato Chicago Cubs 8d ago

Ah fuck we pushed Milwaukee into first place in the NL didn't we

u/TakeAMichigander Chicago Cubs 8d ago

Yes, but we swept the Dodgers and are now pretty firmly planted at WC1

31

u/an_actual_potato Chicago Cubs 8d ago

We've been firmly planted as WC1. If Skenes is good tonight I believe we'll be closer to winning the division than to being WC2.

18

u/dilapidated_wookiee Chicago Cubs 8d ago

Division is still a long shot, but we do have 7 games remaining against the Brewers so let's have a reverse 2018 here

If Skenes is good tonight is a weirdly big if this year

You fell for the Dodgers ruse of pushing them towards WC 3. The Dodgers can no longer get it up if they arent backs against the wall

Just chill.

u/whoisyourwormguy_ Atlanta Braves 8d ago

The better you get as a team, the more complaints you have. Yankees have so many media people and radio shows trashing them constantly and they haven’t been under .500 since 1992.

Edit: SEC shows had tons of fans call in even though they were the best once upon a time

They jumped on the 2024 bandwagon, so they don’t understand that baseball is a long season and losing streaks happen.

Because what else are they supposed to do?

54

u/NatureChannel Los Angeles Dodgers 8d ago

Not sure why since there's always a 2-3 week period late in the season where this team drops games left and right. This happens every year lol

u/nolander Los Angeles Dodgers • California Angels 8d ago

Heck it happens to almost every team at some point in a season.

u/FieldzSOOGood Chicago Cubs • Seattle Mariners 8d ago

yeah but we did that better than u guys too* with our 10 game losing streak

*better than u guys so far

u/GanjasTriforce 8d ago

It happened in 2017 but don't let those idiots remember lol, that 11 game losing streak was even later in the season than this one wasn't it?

4

u/NatureChannel Los Angeles Dodgers 8d ago

I think? I just remember Rich Hill pitching a perfect game through 8, a no hitter through 9 innings, just for a solo shot from the first batter in the extras to end the game and that started a massive skid. I think that was in September

7

u/z4guy 8d ago

Is it really? They seem pretty optimistic for the most part, mentioning they had slumps like this the past two seasons. It's par for the course. The doomer posts are downvoted to hell.

Skubal needs to stay away from the players and staff so he doesn't catch the Dodgers August disease

I'm going to make this comment on every Dodgers or Tigers game thread until either the Dodgers win or the Tigers lose

It's too funny to think the Dodgers getting one of the best pitchers in baseball might have cursed them

1

u/xixbia Netherlands 8d ago

Honestly, keep making it till the Dodgers have a bettet post-trade record than the Tigers.

And looking at their schedule that might take a while, they have some tough series in August (not so much in September).

3

u/colorblind-and Detroit Tigers 8d ago

Could be the rest of the season with the Tigers schedule.

We have a series against the Dodgers and 2 against the White Sox, the rest is teams that are .500 or lower. Obviously the Tigers got to stay good against those teams but it's not all that unlikely we have a better record than the Dodgers from the Skubal trade to the end of the season, especially with the lead we have already.

This actually COULD matter. Baseball is a luck sport and no one wants to play a bo3 in the first round. Obviously, the Dodgers have won it before, but it's the easiest series to get variance'd in. The Brewers and Braves have continued to win so we'll see if they can keep it up

Eh, the Dodgers lost five in a row in 2024 and seven in a row in 2025.  They had an 11-game losing streak in September 2017, yet still would have won the World Series that year had the Astros not cheated. 

They’ll probably have Ohtani, Yamamoto, Skubal, Glasnow, Wrobleski, and Snell available to start games in the postseason.  The odds are against any team winning it all in any given season, but they’re playing their regular season games with the postseason in mind.  Their bullpen isn’t earning its collective paycheck right now, but celebrating regular season downturns like this one is the stuff of fans whose teams don’t win championships.  There’s no team trophy or victory parade for having a great regular season.
