    and vice-versa...

    Good pitching will always stop good hitting and vice-versa.

    Hope astros fans don't take our greatness for granted. U see all these mickey mouse 100+ win teams getting swept is quite a sore sight to see.

    Heart of a champion is quite a cliche thing to say but it could b applied to our team for how consistent we have been in playoffs

    Yuck.

    In three games, the Dodgers’ starting rotation gave up 13 runs and gave the club just 4 2/3 innings. Per Elias, that’s the fewest innings by a starting rotation in the first three games of a series in postseason history.

    Dodgers could of had Verlander and a whole lot of pitchers in 2023. They won't admit it, but they probaly put all the marble on Ohtani free-agency by not trading for bonified tier 1 pitcher. Dodgers at the trading deadline got Lance Lynn and hell yeah JOE f@#$# you Kelly.

    Not Verlander unless he waived his no trade clause.

    JV was never an option for the dodgers

    they had a deal agreed with Detroit for an ace Eduardo Rodriquez but he said hell no to them and exercised his no trade clause

    I know this has been beaten to death but it really is unbelievable a team of this stature has to play at 330 on a weekday.
    Fans are forced to either miss work or miss most of the game.
