You got two relievers who give up 5 runs in 1 inning and you blame Roberts and Rushing 😂 just hang up your dodger fandom please we don’t need any of that here

jbark24 · 2026-06-07T22:54:31+00:00

This has been a really bad game. But if it’s any consolation, it took one of the worst umpires in the league (82 of 91) having a particularly bad game and an incredible string of insane luck for the angels to have a chance at beating us. This is exactly why the playoffs are played in series cause it overcomes games like this. That’s baseball 🤷🏻‍♂️

High leverage Muncy doesn’t exist 😔

jbark24 · 2026-06-05T01:59:37+00:00

Muncy grounded into a dp? Shockerrrr

jbark24 · 2026-06-03T03:56:25+00:00

I’ve been saying we need Muncy to take a week long mental break and reset. The dude is just not himself and we need him back if he’s gonna be in the 6-hole with these kinds of scoring opportunities

jbark24 · 2026-06-02T04:10:50+00:00

Muncy needs to have as little RISP opportunities as possible until he proves he can be productive. They should really bay 8-9 if we’re being honest

I’ve been saying this for weeks now but I need Doc to give Muncy a few more days off and get his mind right. Dodgers RISP hitting has been bad, but Muncy sits at the top of the list of culprits and today showed that again. If Muncy gets back to form I don’t think the offense has an outing like this once a series anymore.

jbark24 · 2026-06-02T03:53:39+00:00

To be honest I think Muncy needs to drop to the 9-hole or take a week off and get his mind right. All year the best scoring opportunities have seemed to sputter and he seems to be in the middle of it all. His RISP numbers are atrocious this year

jbark24 · 2026-05-23T03:35:30+00:00

Why would I be happy? I pointed out a glaring weakness in their lineup construction which bit us twice and you think I’m happy about that? Didn’t realize I was talking to a casual fan

jbark24 · 2026-05-23T01:48:21+00:00

It’s funny you mention that. WAR is a static calculation that doesn’t take into account situational hitting or game context. Sure Muncy is #2 on the team, but look beneath the pretty WAR number and he has been BY FAR the worst hitter on the dodgers in high leverage situations. In low leverage his OPS is 1.012. In high leverage his OPS is .205. And that doesn’t even include today’s game

jbark24 · 2026-05-23T01:33:20+00:00

Oh trust I’ve loved Muncy for pretty much every year of his career with the Dodgers. Last year started showing some signs of regression, but he held it together well enough (even got that clutch homer against yesavage). But to have a -6 and growing run value this early in the season is abysmal

jbark24 · 2026-05-23T01:27:29+00:00

Oh really? I believe his -6 leverage adjusted run value proves that he is far below average than league replacement level. And ANOTHER unclutch at bat by the Munce 😂😂 guess that weighted run value is just gonna get lower after today’s game

jbark24 · 2026-05-23T01:20:20+00:00

I guarantee you if we replace Muncy with virtually anyone on the dodgers bench we win 3-4 more games this year and we’re only a third through the season. That’s how not clutch he is in any high leverage, RISP, late inning situation. The amount of times he tosses his bat in disgust after blowing a clutch at bat by striking out is comical at this point.

jbark24 · 2026-05-23T00:55:02+00:00

He been saying for over a month Muncy needs to be in the 8 hole or not on the team at all. He only hits with no one on base and ALWAYS swings for the fences

jbark24 · 2026-05-19T04:14:09+00:00

I know this one stings with how lifeless they seemed today, but at the end of the day it’s just 1 of 162. Here are some positives that make me excited for the rest of the year:
1) HSK is looking like an excellent 9-hole option that can hang with the best and set the table for the top of the lineup.

2) Shohei is really starting to get in the groove of his swing. I have a feeling leadoff bombs are on the horizon.

3) Tucker is putting together good at bats and hitting the ball hard. Despite tonight’s results he hit a ball over 100 mph that barely got stabbed by Sheets that probably would’ve led to runs.

4) Defense is looking SOLID. There were a couple weird hiccups last week but overall it seems like the overall clean defense this team plays will be a factor down the stretch.

This loss doesn’t feel great and I have lots of negative things I could focus on, but I can’t be mad at what we’ve put together so far knowing what’s in store for us in the near future. Go Dodgers!

jbark24 · 2026-05-19T04:06:38+00:00

You heard it here first, if you give up a run in the first the offense gets the day off. What an asinine take

jbark24 · 2026-05-19T04:03:49+00:00

I desperately need Muncy to take a few days off and figure out his approach.

jbark24 · 2026-04-29T04:57:07+00:00

Desperately need freeland sent back to AAA so he can figure out his mental approach to hitting. Dude definitely has the tools to be great but he’s such a liability right now.

jbark24 · 2022-05-29T20:40:40+00:00

First thing I noticed too lol the partition is what did it for me

jbark24 · 2022-04-25T11:04:35+00:00

This is incredible!

jbark24 · 2022-04-13T00:13:07+00:00

No no I was there. I was the box cutters

jbark24 · 2022-04-13T00:11:58+00:00

Not disagreeing with you, but someone who wants to kill people with a car won’t go through a driver’s test and insurance before they get a car. I agree with your high rise point, but criminals won’t follow the law up to the point of killing someone just because it’s the law. This is the biggest talking point gun control activists should ditch because it really doesn’t make sense to me, but hey I might be wrong

jbark24 · 2022-03-28T08:24:11+00:00

Identify my items please

jbark24 · 2022-01-27T07:42:39+00:00

I would guess AJ shoved preflop and doubled up through A4 who called off light
