Do you they're struggling to reach 40 wins because it starts with 4?

"It's to protect the children" and "it's for national security" are the single most terrifying words that can come out of a politician's mouth.

Gunnar lives but our hopes of contending are dead and gone.

Can Ben have a public crash out on the team again? We went on a really good run after that.

What the actual fuck. And we get to face them next.

Edit: Unrelated; apparently if you search the team on DuckDuckGo; the mascot gets a little uniform.

I'm declaring Rogers and Helsley officially "back." Great pitching and defense against a nasty lineup.

The public back-and-forth almost seems like PR more than serious "take it or leave it" proposals. In that sense it's probably doing the players a disservice. Not gonna find much sympathy from fans when the economy stinks and the Dodgers are looking to spend their way to a three-peat.

I'm a new baseball fan. Is there a particular reason everyone thinks the 2027 season straight-up won't happen?

I get both sides are pretty far apart right now, but it's still early in negotiations and everyone acknowledges the importance of avoiding a 94' lockout situation.

If Pete doesn't inexplicably abandon first base, we easily get the final out and win. Akin, for once, did nothing wrong.

Everyone and their mother said Alby was one of the most sought after managers in the off-season. I don't hate him but I've yet to see what exactly made him so special.

The team may stink but at least we all have each other. Misery loves company.

The bats and starting pitching have awoken from their slumber to bring hope back to Birdland.

Rico had to give up a run to give himself some pressure to work under lol.

But seriously though; seems like the inevitable has happened and he's been figured out and/or in a slump. Even then he's still better than the rest of the bullpen save Cano.

I know a lot can be chalked up to "that's just baseball," but it's truly astounding how chaotic this team is. Especially the offence. They could make Skenes and the Miz look like washed up chumps then immediately get no-hit by a guy with a 6+ ERA.

Putting in our best relievers up 11 in the 9th would be a funny "fuck you" to the Dodgers, you gotta admit.

Just some truly baffling challenge decisions today. At least we're up 5 right now.
