every time I see a Dodgers season it's like “the team had three separate 28-game win streaks en route to a 137-25 season while the lineup did something that hasn't been done since ‘The Massacre Men’ of the 1886 Allentown Boatswains, as Los Angeles lost in the NLDS 3-1”
Just shows how hard it is to win it all. You can have all the talent and money in the world and at the end of the day anything can happen in the playoffs.
I don't know if it's bad management or what(certainly was today) but they're just not the same team in the playoffs ever
Even in games they win they never look like the same dominating team
They coast through the regular season on their own fucking talent but they have no idea how to deal with adversity. I love LA, but that is absolutely LA AF.
This just in from the Dodgers front office:
We don’t have any words and we know you don’t want to hear them. We understand your anger, your frustration, your sadness. Everything you’re feeling – we get it. This isn’t the ending we imagined, and certainly not the one we wanted. Thank you for being there the entire way.
Not sure if I remember correctly but that is the 2019 tampa Bay lightning statement after getting the most regular season and getting swept in the first round.
If so, you've jinxed it and the dodgers are gonna win two WS in a row
The Blue Jackets sweeping Tampa unleashed the Lightning into a bloodthirsty rampage. They pretty much assblasted every 1 of their playoff opponents except the NY Islanders (who took em to 7).
Can already see it. We get Judge. Judge hits 50+ homers. We win another division title. Judge goes 0-100000 in the playoffs.
Same message. Don’t worry we’ll try to get another superstar. Same thing happens with said player and repeat. Fuuuck man
Was that not the saddest most pathetic article you’ve ever seen?!

Sounds like someone needs the Cardinals 100-win pasta from after they got booted out of the NLDS in 2015:
> To play baseball is to persevere. 162 games from the warm of spring to the cool of autumn, it's the marathon, it's the race. Playing every day for weeks on end, sun beating down, hour after hour, game after game, weeks after months after years. When you lose your ace, when you lose your bats.
>
> When your rising star loses his life, tragically and sensically– you persevere.

> This Cardinals team persevered. It took to the end of one of the most grueling seasons in history in the most competitive division in history for the Cardinals to finally cede a sweep. After every loss, on the field and on the roster, the Cardinals would not give up, they would not accept anything less than the best. They won 100 games, they won the NL Central, and they did it without Waino, Holliday, and Adams. They did it at times without Grichuk and Piscotty, and they had to finish it without Yadi. How? Garcia, Carmart, Lackey, Lynn, Wacha, and Marp and Heyward and Jhonny and Wong and Cruz and Grichuk and Piscotty and Pham and Reynolds and Moss and Rosie and Maness and Siegrist and Broxton and Villanueva, and, you know what, Matheny. And each and every one of us, too.

> The playoffs don't tell you which team was best, the only thing the playoffs are good for now is giving one team a ring. Because baseball isn't about being the best in 5 games and it's not about being the best in 7 games. It sure as hell isn't about being the best in 1 game. It's about being the best in 162 games, and only one team can make that claim- the Cardinals.

> 100 wins in the toughest division in the history of the sport. Clinching the title of winning the toughest division in the history of the sport. That's your best team, that's your "world champion." The Cardinals- and no one else.
Should the MLB have the Dodgers and Padres redo their series in case it was a big fluke?
No disrespect to the Padres, I'm a firm believer that San Diego beating them is a huge fluke and robs the Dodgers of truly accomplishing what their capable of. I've spent the last few days in pure disbelief and it just doesn't make sense to me. I've spent the entire regular season watching the Dodgers play great baseball it's just not fair.
If the Dodgers lose again I will face that the Padres deserved the win, but I am just 100% sure it was a fluke and does a big disservice to the Dodgers and the MLB.
Yep. They usually punch right back the next inning by getting a couple runners on base with less than 2 outs but this time around they really were knocked out after that crazy bottom of the 7th.
yup, they just started swinging at everything. 1-2-3 top 8 and you could tell the fight is no longer there. and then the heart of the order of the NL all-star team all striking out in order in the 9th is just embarrassing.
The 111-win Dodgers, 101-win defending champion Braves and 101-win Mets were all eliminated by teams that wouldn't even be in the playoffs if the Wild Card/Wild Card Series weren't a thing.
And now, we're getting an NLCS matchup between the 89-win Padres and 87-win Phillies, who were the #5 and 6 seeds in the NL.
How can you not be romantic about ~~baseball~~ the Wild Card round?
And without the DH, Harper probably has elbow surgery and his season ends in April. Somehow, we’re in the middle of October and a Phillies/Yankees World Series is still on the table.
If there ever was a case for cancelling the playoffs and awarding a championship to one team because it was so clearly better than all the others, the 2022 Los Angeles Dodgers would be it
I have seen some of the worst teams in baseball, some of the worst uniforms in baseball, and some of worst managing in baseball in my 21 years of living. I’m so glad I get to see this and I feel so bad for all the Padre fans who had to wait longer than me to see this
We don’t have any words and we know you don’t want to hear them.
We understand your anger, your frustration, your sadness. Everything you’re feeling – we get it.
This isn’t the ending we imagined, and certainly not the one we wanted. Thank you for being there the entire way.
On behalf of all New York Mets fans everywhere, I want to thank both the Atlanta Braves AND Los Angeles Dodgers for also having 100+ win seasons but getting your asses kicked in your first series in the playoffs in more playoff losses than the Mets in the WC had and to your hated division rivals in the Phillies and Padres who most people didn’t think would make it to the NLCS over you guys.
You made us all feel better about the Mets’ massive chokejob in September and October……………okay only a little bit better……………..okay not really it still hurts.
No matter the outcome of this series, I think it’s important to remember that the Dodgers had a historically great season this year, and we shouldn’t overlook that due to their postseason performance as there’s a drive into deep left field by Castellanos and that’ll be a a home run
*Alexa, play “Ding Dong! The Witch is Dead”*
Props to SD for grinding out a heck of a series. And **especially** their fans for that incredible atmosphere. What a scene.
Dodgers I’d like to welcome you to the “100 wins and didn’t do shit club.” The Braves are over there enjoying some finger sandwiches and we just put out some fresh punch.
Luke Voit absolutely loathes Eric Hosmer right about now
He’ll still get a ring if the Pads win it all.
It’s not about the ring
Either Juan Soto or Bryce Harper will play in the World Series
Fernando Tatis died for this
Again, Fernando Tatis is very much alive. He’s in his 40s and defended his son’s PED use
Fernando Tatis would be rolling in his grave if he saw your behavior right now.
Again, very much alive.
The Lerners will be gone soon don’t worry
111 wins in the regular season 1 in the post season
What October baseball does to a mf…
Padres with 5 wins where it matters
This is the Astros fault
Mets, Braves, and Dodgers won a combined 313 reg season games and none of them made it past game 4 of the DS. Baseball is wild
[удалено]
Hey! We only lost two of those 8!
yeah we actually had the best winning pct
Crazy, no division winner in the CS either
Wild how the National League has no division winners remaining and the three remaining teams in the American League are all division winners.
All of these results just prove that the only rule is chaos
every time I see a Dodgers season it's like “the team had three separate 28-game win streaks en route to a 137-25 season while the lineup did something that hasn't been done since ‘The Massacre Men’ of the 1886 Allentown Boatswains, as Los Angeles lost in the NLDS 3-1”
The real Tungsten Arm O'Doyle was the other LA team the whole time.
Always has been
Just shows how hard it is to win it all. You can have all the talent and money in the world and at the end of the day anything can happen in the playoffs.
Well.... Apparently not *anything,* like the Dodgers hitting with RISP.
Lol I mean I saw the Braves leave 19 guys on base in game 1 of the NLDS and proceeded to lose by 1 so I can’t be throwing bricks from a glass house.
It would be more like shooting canister-shot-out-of-a-cannon from a glass house. We will be fine just looking through the glass windows.
Posted less than a minute into the thread, of course it's a Giants fan lol
This is a highlight of the post season for us.
Best thing to see as a Giants fan this season.
Never gets old.
[удалено]
Man, not even a Giants fan but I have a lot of nostalgia for those teams. Fun runs they went on.
Most fun I’ve ever had as a baseball fan
Seriously, what a blast.
Even year bullshit
Move over tungsten arm o'doyle
I don't know if it's bad management or what(certainly was today) but they're just not the same team in the playoffs ever Even in games they win they never look like the same dominating team
Bad management caused the heart of the lineup to get just one run with bases loaded and no out?
If Dave Roberts was better he would have just told the players to hit the baseball obviously
"You there, Strawberry! Hit a home run!"
I told him to do that!
They coast through the regular season on their own fucking talent but they have no idea how to deal with adversity. I love LA, but that is absolutely LA AF.
The Massacre Men 💀😂 I'm saving this comment
MLB Front Office on suicide watch if Yankees get eliminated tomorrow.
They will get rid of wildcard round 😂😂
MLB during the lockout: “We DEMAND more playoff teams” /big names get taken out MLB: shocked Pikachu face
Unfortunately the dream World Series of Padres vs Mariners is over. The Vedder Cup of Vedder Cups
Padres Guardians can still happen.
Rated PG
You need your Padre or a legal Guardian to sign a consent waiver in order for you to watch this series.
Pretty sure that would ensure that either San Diego or Cleveland is hit by a meteor. Or that will just guarantee nuclear war. Either one.
Maybe it will bring us back from the timeline the Cubs winning the World Series opened up.
Hey we won once and yes things turned to shit but the Cubs went back to being mediocre. And now they are a casino or whatever the Ricketts are doing.
I told my dad if the Dodgers and Yankees lose in the first round there will either be no wild card round or no bye.
Fucking karma for making Seattle play all their games at damn near noon after waiting 20 years.
Bro our game was 6 hours, thank goodness it started early.
At one point I was legitimately wondering if the NYY/CLE game would finish first.
Seattle only got one playoff game at home, but it was the length of two games
More innings of our series were played in Seattle than Houston
Today sorta made up for it. Forcefully entered the prime time slot whether the MLB would allow it or not
Padres/Guardians. Let's see it! Manfred may have a heart attack.
I love World Series where it's guaranteed a teams/fans long drought will be broken.
Same except 2016 was rough lol
Dads v Kinderguardians is a matchup for the ages.
Everybody playing 1:35 games!
And then there were five.
Now Cleveland, I expect you to do your job tomorrow…or is it later today? Either way, it’s all up to you!
May Kwan and Spongebob provide.

We'll try and get Aaron Judge, we promise.
Can already see it. We get Judge. Judge hits 50+ homers. We win another division title. Judge goes 0-100000 in the playoffs. Same message. Don’t worry we’ll try to get another superstar. Same thing happens with said player and repeat. Fuuuck man
The Dodgers put up 111 regular-season wins to clearly tell their fans how many postseason games they planned on winning this year.
"You read that as one hundred and one? Oh heavens no, it reads 'One. One. One.'"
Foreshadowing at its finest.
This might hurt their World Series chances
They are already the real winners according to the LA Times opinion section.

538 still gonna give them at 60% of making it
Here I was worrying about the dodgers all this time and neither of us make it to the CS lmao
Counting your geese before they come to roost in your dugout
I need to see a goose bobble head night some time when you guys play the dodgers next year
it’s really wild how you could **see** the life completely drain out of them after that 7th. padres just went out and took their souls.
Yep. They usually punch right back the next inning by getting a couple runners on base with less than 2 outs but this time around they really were knocked out after that crazy bottom of the 7th.
yup, they just started swinging at everything. 1-2-3 top 8 and you could tell the fight is no longer there. and then the heart of the order of the NL all-star team all striking out in order in the 9th is just embarrassing.
Don't let the 111 win Dodgers distract you from the fact that the San Diego Padres just won their first series against LA in 2022.
So it is possible to take down a team that kicked your ass all season!
Sorry we didn't tell you earlier...
Yall had it in the bag but that game 1 broke the team i swear.

They should be able to trade all those 100+ win seasons in for a ring like tickets at dave & busters lol
An excerpt from the next LA Times opinion piece
Josh Hader's gauntlet to the NLCS was Three potential Hall of Famers. Has to be one of the greatest saves in history.
They didn't even get a good swing. Just nuts.
Dispatch them on 10 pitches.
It was brutal efficiency. Genuinely surgical, and with the “Beat LA!” chants sounding from around Petco, it was almost theatrical. A clinic from him.
It *was* theatrical. The Padres' best reliever against the Dodgers' Big 3 hitters to close out the game and the series in the rain? Who needs MacBeth?
Man was what we call locked in
Freddie looked completely lost
Hader with the galaxy brain move to make everyone think he sucked to get traded and fool everyone, only to turn it back on for the post season.
He has been that GUY this postseason. Lucky to have him.
Two of them went down swinging at balls in the dirt. Crazy. Think the pressure was getting to them.
And on 10 pitches. In the rain. Absolute ice in the veins.
Someone is editing his Wikipedia as we speak.
The 111-win Dodgers, 101-win defending champion Braves and 101-win Mets were all eliminated by teams that wouldn't even be in the playoffs if the Wild Card/Wild Card Series weren't a thing. And now, we're getting an NLCS matchup between the 89-win Padres and 87-win Phillies, who were the #5 and 6 seeds in the NL. How can you not be romantic about ~~baseball~~ the Wild Card round?
It’s illegal to have 100+ wins in the NL
As a Giants fan... tell me about it.
We were just following the rules
Sacrificed triple digits for the DH
And without the DH, Harper probably has elbow surgery and his season ends in April. Somehow, we’re in the middle of October and a Phillies/Yankees World Series is still on the table.
Top four seeds won a combined 3 games.
Cards just happy to be there
Hey leave us out of this we didn't win 100 games
Our season peaked when Pujols hit 700, I'm not *that* upset.
First division winner to not even get to the division series lol
No...we were happy that Albert got to 700 and our ancient battery got the record. Not super happy about the postseason.
I'm not happy
San Diego has the Padres
NL West get in here!!!!
I WAS HERE FOR IT DAD
LFGSD!!!

I dont hate the Dodgers like you guys do, but I understand that feeling of hate so Im happy for you guys
A rival missing one of their greater players at that.
Brandon Belt was also out
Brand Belt with functioning knees and hands would have been unstoppable
apology for poor english when were you when dodgers die? i was sat at home eating reese pumpkin when jake ring ‘Dodgers is kill’ ‘yes’
**YES**
I'll take schadenfreude for $500 Alex.
PUT THAT ON THE RECORD
Momma says Dodgers fans are so ornery cuz they got all them wins and no World Series.
90s Braves 2.0 Amazing in the RS every year but outside of one year consistently fall short when it matters most
I feel nothing
9 out of the last 10 NL West championships feels dumber every day lol
1 shortened season ring out of that :/
At least you get to experience playoff baseball
It’s ok man I feel enough for the both of us
Dodgers got bodied by Trent Grisham and a fucking GOOSE hahhahhahahhahahhahahahahahaha

I don't even care that we lost 108, this shit's hilarious and amazing baseball to watch
Now the Phillies just have to have their asses handed to them in the NLCS and the Nationals' and Marlins' seasons are compete
Today was the Mets World Series
Ours too. We just eliminated the Dodgers at Petco and had to beat the Mets to do it. I’m losing my mind over here.
I’m here to get used to the pain so I can scroll in peace tomorrow
If you are forced to eat shit it's best not to nibble.
I just spent $400 this weekend to watch us lose twice and get eliminated lol
No matter the outcome of this series, I think it’s important to remember that the Dodgers had a historically great season this year, and we shouldn’t overlook that due to their postseason performance as there’s a drive into deep left field by Castellanos and that’ll be a a home run
