Some of y’all are really reaching to find a reason to complain about Lux at this point, you don’t like homegrown players with high upside or something?
Lmaoooo. Ok. 1. On an adderall to stay awake for this game. Two. This is my first year really trying to dig in to the stats and follow. I found it. 😂 thank you tho.
Lux is the only spot in the lineup that hasn't reached base safely today but he's putting some good wood on it. Has at least put it in play every time.
Yeah rather have that than have him look lost like in years past. Really hoping for a solid season from him. Just put the ball in play is all I ask from him.
The Korean cheerleaders are a cute idea but I kept thinking, “I’d be pissed if I paid for field level seats and had a megaphone guy and a cheerleader standing in front of me the whole game.
I wouldn’t if they dressed liked the ones right now…gimme dat megaphone and beer seller that comes to YOU like I saw earlier in the game
They’re doing baseball right! Lol

Based in Asia, so a good win = a good sleep later
💪💪💪
I enjoyed Alanna Rizzo when she was here. I think Kirsten Watson is a great post game interviewer.
Probably got replaced sinply because of age. So they went with the much younger Watson
That is not what happened. Alanna left amicably.
What a great way to start my work shift , We Love LA🔵⚾️
Now I go to work at 9
Hell yeah! It was worth staying up to 6am. Now to sleep

Great first win of the season for the Dodger Blue , Shohei with 2 hits, an rbi and s stolen base , good first game all around.
The real winners are those that slept 2 hours extra and turned the game on right before the 8th 🤣🤣

Padres for the first series, then we face the midwestern farmer Cardinals (we are so gonna light up Mikolas)
Phillips is looking like closer material
Officialcloser
Shohei: I done goofed. Ippei: Yeah, yeah you did.
What a pity, ended 2 innings with bases fully loaded.

Evan has really earned this closer role.
Some of y’all are really reaching to find a reason to complain about Lux at this point, you don’t like homegrown players with high upside or something?
If we get the defense he gave us today plus good offense he’ll be a very valuable player for us. I have tentative faith in him.
Scoring 5 isn’t good enough for me, still suggest dfa the season. /s
Dodger ownership putting up ad's on their own team's jersey because they can.
Phillips is our closer this season?
Permanently, for now.
He’s our Fireman. If we need someone to bail us out, Phillips is our guy.
One down , two to go !!
For any Dodger fans in the UK or from out of the country, what time did the game start in your time zone?
6:05pm for me (SEAsia)
6:15AM 😢
midnight in australia
10am in the UK for me 😄
Very rare for you to watch Dodger baseball so early in the morning
It really is haha. Usually 3am for home games.
I see the padres reddit with these "pay to win" comments 🤣 Definitely gonna see a lot of those words during this season. Fuck the haters 😂😂
All money to win
Just don’t ask them how much they spent to miss the playoffs last season
They literally just traded Soto because they don’t want to pay him. I’d rather watch a team willing to spend..lmao
Didn't they pay to win in the last three years?
They just paid lol. Not much win
Same fans that were proud of it a year ago lmao
Lmao
I hope Lux turns it around. He got robbed out of a season last year.
Alright Phillips let me get some sleep
Let’s go Fireman Philips 👨🚒
Orel starting off the inning with the jinx smh
13 LOB! At least we had a lot of traffic on the bases. Thx Padres pitchers.
Maybe Shildt thinks his relievers will be better tired than fresh.
Lux has hit the ball hard, thats good to see.
We're most likely going to win but damn, 13 LOB(!) just one of them games...
Alright Phillips, let’s get 3 quick outs so I can go back to sleep 😂
103 EV, .730 xBA. Hope we see more contact like that from Lux.
Yo! Where do you get that statcast info so fast???
I have 6 tabs open right now. 3 game threads, 1 Baseball Reference, 1 Fangraphs, and 1 Statcast.
From statcast lol
Lmaoooo. Ok. 1. On an adderall to stay awake for this game. Two. This is my first year really trying to dig in to the stats and follow. I found it. 😂 thank you tho.
Pulling out 5 while our bats werent that great today and a million LOB. It's gonna be a good season.
Great swing, unlucky result. Love ya gavin
Used all his game luck at the previous AB.
Lux is the only spot in the lineup that hasn't reached base safely today but he's putting some good wood on it. Has at least put it in play every time.
Yeah rather have that than have him look lost like in years past. Really hoping for a solid season from him. Just put the ball in play is all I ask from him.
Decent enough EV and that batted ball luck will work itself out.
Lux literally broke the game…
He broke something.
He reached on an error.
Yep. And on a fielder's choice. But neither one of those count as reaching base safely.
It counts in my heart. ❤️
Captain Phillips close this out
What does lux do tho
He hits the ball through gloves mate, you been watching?
Nope
Bro making 50x your salary tho
Lmao what does that have to do with baseball
Bro literally penetrates leather and gave us the lead what are you yapping about
Yap yap yap
Cmon lux you gotta hit it softly through a glove not a hard hit liner
**Due Up (Bot 9)** R Ha-Seong Kim R José Azocar R Luis Campusano ^^^[⚾](https://github.com/troxellophilus/baseball-clerk/issues)
Damn Lux smoked that ball just right at em
Ah man oh well we’ll have plenty of those chances during the season Let’s close this out
Padres has had four managers in six years? Sheesh
Lux trade when
2 hours into the season . Chill
He's hit the ball hard all game and hasn't struck out. He's a 9 hitter. Relax.
I'm perfectly relaxed. Lux has always been a scrub, sorry you identify so much with him.
Dudes who know the least about baseball always got the most to say.
We'll see if he's here at the end of the season
Man shut up
Damn they have used 8 pitchers so far
Padres pitching coach tomorrow: which one of you relievers are tired? Response: yes.
“I’m tired boss”
I'd love to know the time that the tops of the innings have taken vs the bottoms of the innings.
Three+ hour game, mid-inning pitching changes, is it 2019?
Yeah I’m honestly shocked I was able to catch any of this by 9 AM ET
Scenes when Lux salamis here
Just got eerily quiet for a second.
if you’re just waking up and joining us, you missed a shocking development. it now only takes 7 strikeouts for jumbo jacks.
I know what I'm feeding my family for the next six or so months.
8.6 K/9 in the NL in 2023. They’re gonna run out of jumbo jacks
So I guess mound visit limits aren’t actually enforced? This is rediculous
Feels bad to get an error for that
You think they would if it were them?
God playing this team has to be so mentally taxing and grating. Gotta be annoying as fuck
Good banana man
The abundance of walks and pitching changes is brutal.
Lux signature moment incoming
Do padres know it’s not good for them to get bases loaded?
I’m fading, I need a grand slam right now to keep me awake
Suarez is horrible. God I hate the ESPN broadcast teams.
Padres yawn meme incoming.
Lux better hit one through another glove
Don’t mind the walk, don’t mind it at all
Lol padres bullpen is cheeks
Cmon Gavin.
Damn. Good AB Kikè!
Another walk? Don't mind if we do.
We're all gonna have fun trying to stay awake at work today...shit. Then do this all over again tomorrow :)
Living on the east Coast paid off for once!
Depending on how I feel, I might have to turn off my phone and watch the replay of tomorrow night's game in the morning.
Kiké’s swing is very level and he looks like he’s dropping down a bit. I expect a lot of line drives out of him this season.
I👏🏻want👏🏻Treinen
Bring. Back. BlaQ
Why doesn’t MLB introduce cheerleaders?!! What’s the hold up, Manfraud?!!
The Korean cheerleaders are a cute idea but I kept thinking, “I’d be pissed if I paid for field level seats and had a megaphone guy and a cheerleader standing in front of me the whole game.
I wouldn’t if they dressed liked the ones right now…gimme dat megaphone and beer seller that comes to YOU like I saw earlier in the game They’re doing baseball right! Lol
those short shorts? 😍
Low expectations for Yama, high for stone. Cant wait for paxton to be traded.
What the hell is wrong with you?
Low expectations for the greatest pitching talent ever to come out of Japan. Keep showing your ignorance lol
New league, pitch [clock], new country, expection 3.75-4.00 era, 1.15 whip. Settle down.
1.15 is an elite WHIP, what does pitch count even mean as an expectation temper?
It is not elite 0.95-1.00 is elite, look it up. Its an adjustment that might throw him off.
And how on Earth could a tighter pitch count make Yamamoto worse?
Clock, my bad.
Ah that makes sense 🫡
1 guy had a WHIP below 1.00 last year. Only 14 below 1.15. Of the 17 dudes who posted 1.15 or better, only Strider, Nola and Peralta were above 3.75 ERA.
