“People will always want discourage people enjoying what they themselves don’t have”
“The Dodgers are not the problem. Teams that don’t aspire to be the Dodgers are”
Bro’s lines did not need to go this hard
They nailed it on the head. People can't be mad at the Dodgers for actually going all in. People should be mad at their own teams for NOT going all in.
I'm a lifelong Angels fan and my anger and frustration is pointed DIRECTLY at Arte Moreno and Angels management for running this team into the ground.
@@mattosso7676 The Angels obvious biggest problem besides Arte Moreno not selling is that he refuses to allow a total rebuild which should’ve happened after the 2023 playoff push failed
@@mattosso7676angels are really on other levels😂 when others teams being blamed for not spending, angels are handing out bad contracts to ruin the team and the prime mick trout
Haters are mad cuz the Dodgers are leading, not following. Years ago, Investing in Asia, being pro player, building a winning culture, using deferrals available to EVERYBODY & stockpiling pitchers NOW so they don’t have to be fleeced at the deadline. That’s why players are CHOOSING the Dodgers, not their team.
Factsssss 💯💯
Santander saw blue on the contract and thought it was Dodger blue. Bro was tricked.
😂
😂😂😂
Santander loves the Canadian anthem, Oh Canada
More like the RIGHT blue. #frigthedodgers
Lol
True Dodger fans survived the McCourt years. Nobody felt sorry for us having a cheap owner, so all you other teams with cheapskates, we understand your pain.
I think he still has part ownership of the parking lot....
@@elasmojones that mf owns the WHOLE parking lot shit is rediculous he still finds ways to fuck us 😭
@@elasmojones totally see why he kept it tho it’s the easiest income you can possibly make
Bruh you remember Wilson betemit freaking olmeado saenz lol
Never forget where we came from lol😅
Dodgers got Japan + Hawaii + US all star team... And it's still cheaper than Soto contract 😂
yep
and generate more money
Kirby Yates was available for a long time. I guess nobody wanted his talents...except the Dodgers.
EXACTLY. And they probably got him because Kopech might miss the first month of the season.
He is underrated and can close ball games with his 95-mph fastball and his split, his best pitch.
@@NicanTlacaWarrior1look deep into his metrics,. he's top 3 in a couple categories!!
@@NicanTlacaWarrior1can he still hit mid 90s?
@@brycelsprout Yeah, he tops out these days at 95. He's never topped 96, however,. He keeps himself in insane shape and after two surgeries hasn't lost much of anything. If you remember Bruce Sutter from the 70's and 80's, his pitching style is similar, though Yates strikes out more hitters and throws much harder.
3 weeks from spring training, all these teams passed on Yates, now Dodgers are on him and people are complaining?
Thank you! At this stage of free agency, there is no excuse to complain. Every team has had more than enough time to look at him. The dodgers are gonna be a dynasty for a reason.
Dodgers: We've hired a new janitor...
The universe: explodes
Thank you for reminding everyone about the "McCourt Era"; sometimes I think the other 29 fanbases actually believe the Dodgers were created in 2017
Ohtani’s contract, the gift that just keeps giving!
The ohtani effect
I can’t even beat the dodgers in the Show lol
I can't beat anyone in The Show so at least it's not that bad lol
I have the 2022 version of the game and even I was smart enough to trade Ohtani before his contract expired! Lol😂
I still use the Dodger's in- RBI 2 ( the 1988 dodgers team). Lol
They are amazing in the show!! I love my dodgers!!
idk about you but in my A's franchise run, the rockies beat the Dodgers in the NLDS, but got swept in the NLCS. I was hoping for the A's and Rockies world series but my A's got knocked out in six by the jays
I'm old... 57 and I've been following them since I was 10 in 1977. What amuses me is I live in the South (dad was a Dodger fan) and now I see Dodger hats everywhere...at one time that was almost just me wearing one. I love this ownership...smart and rich...two things that rarely go together in baseball.
Was in Scotland in 2018 and took a picture of me and a gentleman sitting on a bench next me. Both wearing Dodger hats. We communicated by signaling as he didn't speak English, but we and his friend that joined us in the picture enjoy the common bond of seeing another Dodger Fan so far from home.
Being a Dodger fan creates instant friends around the World. Dodgers and Yankees. Some people just don't get it.
Only 30 but growing up I was the only kid who liked baseball and the dodgers everyone loved the lakers this was a laker town. Those 08-10 teams were the beginning of a new turn with the young talent and dodgers management actually swinging a big deal for Manny Ramirez
@alonsocasillas8642 i was just telling my wife about this, everyone loved the Lakers during the Kobe era, they loved the dodgers but they were never really that good and looking back, that ownership was absolute garbage and only signed older players to make a quick buck on jersey sales.
Now we are spending money like the Yankees did during the early 2000s and i LOVE it
@JackAPowers nah its a logo thing, I live farther away from NY than most, but I see a bunch of mets hats, and we always talk for 30 minutes
This always happens though.. I'm in Orange County and everyone without exaggeration have dumped their Angel hats for LA hats.
“If the Dodgers win it all, people will discredit it by saying they bought a championship, but if they lose, everyone makes fun of them for losing despite the high payroll.” This, %100. Most mlb fans will hate the Dodgers no matter what they do, so they should just keep doing whatever they can to win and tune out the noise.
💯 Let them parrot their cope mantras “Bought not built” “bad for baseball” etc. Go Dodgers!
They did buy their championship though
@@BrianThompson-dj8rh If you can buy a championship then why didn’t the Padres win it after spending a billion?
@@Imsosaditsgottenthis who spent more? Thanks
@@BrianThompson-dj8rh you’re leaving out how these guys all wanted to play for the dodgers.
How can the Dodgers be bad for baseball when they're funding the cheap owners with the luxury taxes they are having to pay. The other teams that get any money from the luxury tax should have to spend that money, they should not b e allowed to sit on that money. They need to show how much they got and who they signed with that money, otherwise it should go back to the teams that got taxed.
As an Oakland fan, I've been saying this since 2018!
1 billion plus in Deferments
@@Smartinez8282can’t expect the dodgers to just hand all the money over to other billionaires when they can defer it too
it doesn't affect the Luxury tax bc Deferred money NEVER counts
@@Smartinez8282currently it's 1.4 Billion in deferred money. shockingly the bitch that made the video failed to mention that
Let’s not forget the fact Tanner wanted to sign with the Cubs and they waited until the last minute to offer him that 4th year and refused to come up with an extra 6mil on top of it. As great as the Dodgers organization is, I think fans are more upset about the fact they’re making the rest of the league look foolish for not doing the small (or big) things to improve.
Yates was on the market for TWO MONTHS & no one touched him. 🤷♂️
He sat waiting for a bloated contract from the Mets or Dodgers...
@@Chaser3d18 Your team better get smart. And get smart fast. You sound like a Rockies fan … maybe Padres who let go of Soto & Snell. Twins. Cheap, dumb owners … putting teams together like a pack of Jawas.
@@Mo_Ketchups smart has nothing to do with it lmfao. Dodgers are rich, plain and simple. Don't try to complicate it champ.
@@Chaser3d18 Yeah, strategy, financial creativity & business acumen have nothing to do with being smart. Here, have a seat, Marlins next GM: 👉 🚽
🤡 (Tell that to Billy Beane in 2003.)
@@Chaser3d18 Have a seat, whiner.
👉 🚽 If you don’t think business acumen, financial creativity, & an intelligent front office have anything to do with building a winning team, you MUST be a Marlins fan. (iTalk, I hope it’s not you deleting my replies 👀)
At this point, I'm just waiting for them to sign Thanos to hit DH.
thanos doesnt make this stacked roster
Pretty sure that's what Ohtani translates to in English.
Thanos is too valuable of a defender to waste at DH. Look at that glove!
Sorry they have Ohtani. Thanos play ss or 2nd by any chance ? 😂😂😂
Thanos is gonna choose the Dodgers, the team that has the best chance to conquer worlds. 😉
Thank you for mentioning the McCourt Era iTalk! A lot of people forget the Dodgers were broke throughout the late 90s/2000s and Ned Colletti had to figure out a way to keep the team somewhat competitive. Even then we still fell behind the rest of the NL West during those years. Now to see how the organization has grown and built themselves into a place players want to come and play, people may not like it but have to respect it. The Dodgers are the model organization in the league right now. Every other team needs to take notes and follow the blueprint.
As a dodger fan can the season just start 😂😂😂😂
My wallet is gonna take a beating buying all these Jerseys 😂
The season is already over. 🤷♂️
@@MarcoCaifan87Dude Roki Sasaki jersey.. Snell..Ffs😅
cant wait for you to be knocked out in the 1st round
Seriously.
The Pirates are putting more effort into obtaining baseball cards than baseball players.
"When you've been poking the monster for far too long, don't be surprised when it finally retaliates with great force"
That's a great line.
5:36, thats what people did with the Rangers in 2023, even though we devoloped Jonah Heim, Josh Jung, Evan Carter, Jose Leclerc, Adolis Garcia, and Nate Lowe for that playoff run, we only bought a middle infeild and a starting rotation. The Dodgers are just doing what it takes to win, more teams need to follow that.
Love the Kung Fu Panda analogy
"Can we run now?"
_sob_ "YES."
Well said! I’ve noticed that fan bases outside of the Dodgers are starting to realize it’s not the Dodgers fault but wondering what they can do to get their team ownership/organization to make a change. It’s good to see the narrative is changing.
TV money is a PED and the Dodgers are juiced to the gills
This is payback from 2017
🔥🔥
Payback for blowing 2 games at home and the dodger bats going silent?
Payback for the time Hanley Ramirez got his ribs broken and the dodger didn't retaliate immediately.
@@Sawcon1380 Astros dont cheat we win game 5 convo over
@John22clayton "Gurriel has tied it!"
@@deeel8856 the more ironic thing i thought about is how quickly Dodgers fans forget how it was Joe Kelly of all players to do it and yet somehow he’s a fan favorite because he threw at Correa

At least he would be getting paid for sucking their balls
Maybe they already did with all the glazing he does
@@MonkeyDBuild how is he glazing
My Dodgers are about to make the Astros start banging on trash cans again, and it feels good to make them that pathetic, again
At this point, I am cheering for the Dodgers to sign players they don't even have room for, just to piss off everyone else.
As a dodger fan this only just makes me even more happy
There's another reason why players prefer to play for the Dodgers over other franchises. They stand behind their players......and that's no secret. They see potential where other's see weakness. Case in point like with Michael Kopech. Also, a few years ago when they traded with the Yankees for Joey Gallo. Nobody in the rest of MLB was going to touch that.
Not to mention the Andrew Toles situation as well. Just good business, and a front office that actually cares for its players.
They help them cover up their gambling scandals
“I spent more money on chick fil-a today” 🤣🤣🤣🤣
-John Stanton probably
As a dodgers fan this is getting fun
It's just now getting fun?? Haha
Love you iTalk keep going!!
Yea Because 2 years ago we got swept by the D backs 😭
Has been fun, is currently fun, and will probably continue to be fun 😋
I don’t think it will be fun for long. Guaranteed wins with no struggle will likely be funny for a year but get boring very quickly.
I am the biggest dodger fan ever and I love the fact that this is pissing everyone off idk why I just find it hilarious
This sudden change of striving to be the best team in the world has been eye-opening. It makes me wish all my teams could be like the Dodgers. As you said, teams should try to be like the Dodgers because who doesn’t want to win?
This is what baseball gets after yelling “1988” at us for decades
I didn't see the Dodgers win a playoff series until I was 18 years old. Didn't see them win a pennant until I was 27 years old. I didn't see a world series title until I was 30, and everyone said it didn't count. And now people hate them because they're not the same mediocre Dodgers I grew up with and brought them back to elite status after McCourt damn near bankrupted the team and couldn't make payroll? Nah. I apologize for none of this. I'd rather be a hated champion than a loveable loser
They only signed Yates because Kopech is injured and won’t be ready for the first month ( at least), so Yates actually does serve a need.
you are very correct also and assuming that not every dodger pitcher is going to reach thier potential or not have serious injuries. It’s just not a thing that happens anymore. Happy too much pitching is never a problem.
Considering how many guys Ithey have coming back from injuries and how many pitchers they have who have innings limits and don’t go deep into games in general, their bullpen is going to be heavily taxed, which is why they need to upgrade it . last year was a perfect scenario for the bullpen and it’s not wise to think that’s going to repeat itself this year so they did the right thing which is preemptively make it better rather than wait till the deadline when it becomes very expensive and you’re going to have to give up top prospects. In other words a Dodgers are a very smart organization.
what was Tanner Scott, genius. You freaks don't have reasons to sign more players.
TV money is a PED and the Dodgers are juiced to the gills
As a Giants fan it’s never been just about The Dodgers outspending everyone..it’s that they develop players better than everyone too!!…they’re light years ahead of everyone else and it’s on the other teams to adapt and start spending money on their minor league coaches like the Dodgers do..I’m just glad the Giants got their 3 rings in my lifetime cause I don’t see us getting past the Blue Devils anytime soon
I thank god every day the dodgers hired Andrew Friedman 😭 they gave the best small market gm in the industry an unlimited budget
Well said. Go Dodgers!
oh no... no one wants to sign kirby yates. I wonder what kirby was suppose to do.
Don't blame the Dodgers blame the other 29 teams for not investing. And I don't mean just spending money on FA, also on farm systems and scouting.
Well all right! And in the near future, all we want is to sign Stephen Kwan, Paul Skenes and Tariq Skubal. Let's go Dodgers, let's go go go!!! 😁😃🙂😊😐
If the Yankees were doing this the internet would have self combusted by now. Every laptop, smartphone, desktop and tablet would be in FLAMES!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
As a lifetime Yankee fan I'm pissed but your analysis is spot on it's just frustrating when the Yankees have had such a great offseason it just pales in comparison to what the Dodgers have now built it's just laughable but I don't blame them it is what it is it's just good luck everybody else in the whole MLB Because unless the Dodgers have a bunch of injuries or choke in the postseason you might as well just give him the trophy right now because on paper this is not even close again
it's spot on huh? this bitch didn't even mention the current 1.4 Billion in Deferred money or the fact that L.A just signed multiple All Star Closers. typically an All Star Closer like Tanner Scott signs expecting to be the closer. so now that's an issue. EXACTLY what part of the video was spot on??? maybe it was the part where this bitch claimed that Tampa Bay & Pittsburgh could afford to spend 1 Billion dollars on just 2 players like L.A did last year
The Dodgers are the beautiful, funny, kind, gregarious girl that every boy wants, and when they don't have a shot they call her the B word. It ain't her fault she's awesome.
it all started with the astros cheating them out of a world series.. so thank them.. dodger fan here 🫡
The Dodgers are building a dynasty.
"Not a single bit of success has been handed to them." Great line. I'm glad to see you recognize the struggles they had before they became a juggernaut of a franchise.
the dodgers went from being bad, to putting out lineups 1-9 of homegrown/developed talent and making it to multiple WS and having multiple Playoff appearances and losing being labeled as choke artist.To winning a “mickey mouse trophy” Now they might not have as many homegrown players but the players don’t go to the organization and get stagnant, the dodgers continue to develop their players and with that attention to detail other players see how careers get better and want to join the team. Apparently tho the dodgers only get these players because they are in hollywood which makes it more attractive, but i swear i’ve heard people call LA a Dump, Dodger stadium a Dump, California a Dump, so idk ppl will keep twisting the topic to keep their narrative going, i’m just gunna keep enjoying my dodger team ✌🏽🙏🏽
Next headline...
"Dodgers Sign Orel Hershisher and de-age him to 1988 version"
🙄😔🤯
Dodgers are building a real life MLB the show god squad 💀
Owners are not complaining. Revenue share definitely keeping their lights on. Look into it.
Deferred money doesn't affect the Luxury Tax. honestly how dumb are you idiots?
The monster retaliated and now the pokers are acting like victims.
Wait until the Dodgers extend Dave Roberts and then defer a portion of his salary just to troll the entire MLB fanbase
No views or likes in 12 seconds, bro fell off
Braves No wins in last 3 NLDS, bro they fell off
Ahh dur dur dur…
I think dodgers might win five world series. Let's go dodgers
this podcast is talking too much sense for other teams' fan bases to comprehend
Breaking: The Dodgers thaw out and sign Ted Williams to a veteran minimum contract.
They gotta find his head first!
Dodgers fans will still "need" someone at the trade deadline lol
If the Rangers wanted to resign Yates, they would have already. I'm not sure who's upset about this one
Other teams had weeks to make the move and didn't.
I had been getting a little antsy. It’d been a couple of days since the dodgers signed a player.😅
As a dodger fan this only just makes me even more hapy
Ok. Three seasons ago I took a long hard look at my favorite MLB team. I stayed with them for decades. When the Dodgers signed Shohei Ohtani it was like a beacon for me. How many more seasons was I going to watch my favorite players get traded away because they were getting too good to be affordable? Our young talent maturing and thriving on another team. I remembered that growing up I always loved watching Sandy Koufax and Don Drysdale. The Dodgers always seemed to be competitive. I wanted to enjoy watching my favorite team every game. I was done agonizing over owner mismanagement and cheapness. Look what I stumbled into with my Shohei decision. So, I don't care what the rest of MLB thinks about the big spending spree. I freaking love it. Even got a World Series out of it last season. Looking for more. If they don't repeat I still will have it that they didn't give up on their players or their fans. Roberto Clemente will always be my favorite player.
Players want to win, they want to go wear they have a chance at a championship. So BooHoo on you
Was passively listening watching until i heard “Frank McCourt” again
Players want to be apart of a true Dynasty. They want to collect the rings and then they're setting themselves up post baseball. A player with rings is more desirable for those baseball channels that hires. And any player with rings has a higher chance of having a more successful podcast.
Well said my bro 👏
120 wins this season, he we go😂
Kirby Yates has been out there for a long time.....why didn't anyone else pick him up ?? discuss that
If the Dodgers pitchers all pitched to their potential. The Dodgers would win 120 games.
Nailed it. If you’re a Yankees fan you really need to be quiet. You have terrible fans assaulting players and all you do is laugh about it and wonder why some players won’t play with you even when you drop top dollar for them.
Dodgers have already beat everyone psychologically, by putting this team together.
People don’t realize the dodgers winning is the best for baseball, it shows in order to compete you have to spend money. The past 10 years disregarded that, you’ll have 80 win teams win a World Series while teams that spent money to improve their team will get bounced in the playoffs. What’s the point of spending money on players if the teams who are spending arent winning anything and the teams who aren’t are winning more than them? I’m praying for a dodgers dynasty just so other team will be forced to spend!
meanwhile ratings are starting to plummet. you got any other dumb things you wanna say?
@ are you mentally ill?respectfully asking. The World Series literally was one of the highest watched World Series in recent memory. MLB tv had a 14% increase in viewership but yeah views are somehow on the decline. Stay mad 😹
@@wbbb1256 i was speaking about ratings in the USA. more people in Japan watched the world series, than in USA
@ again this past World Series was the most watched in the United States in 2017. Not only that attendance in stadiums has went up and last time I checked the mlb is played in the US besides 1 team. Everything that has to do with the mlb, viewership, attendance, merch, social media engagements, etc has went up of the past years. You can look it up yourself it’s not hard to find the info
SUPER MONEYBALL!!!!!!!
lmao
Just give the Trophy to the Dodgers now. There's no need to play this season
LMAO
As a bleed blue and orange METS fan,I have ABSOLUTELY NO problem with what the Dodgers are doing here.
LGM💙🧡.
WAIT TILL SKENES AND ELY GO TO THE BLUE CREW.... LOL
Skenes and sasaki are dodgers future Ace and I’m all for it
People forget the Frank McCourt years, and what the fans did to help force the sale of the team.
It’s kinda like the Chiefs.
When they win it’s rigged.
When they lose it’s a fair game called right down the middle.
Haters hate what they can’t win and/or have.
There’s a big difference between the dodgers and the chiefs, the dodgers don’t cry to umpires when they don’t get a call to go their way and they don’t have people like Joe buck or a rules analysis guy who works for the league full out say that the officiating is completely embarrassing. The dodgers have talent and are respectful players while the chiefs are like those kids who get things handed to them for whining.
@@marcustheking7510 I agree, I’m a die hard dodgers fan but F the chiefs 😂
@@marcustheking7510 when I say “just like the Chiefs” I’m not comparing the Dodgers players with the Chiefs players no. When I say “just like the Chiefs” I’m talking about opposing fan perspectives when the Dodgers win “it’s rigged” but when they lose “baseball is all good and fair” and/or when the Dodgers win a World Series it’s “handed to them, such a Mikey mouse ring” but when they lose it’s “the Dodgers lost?! seriously?! The highest paying team in the MLB can’t win? What overrated frauds!”
The Dodgers are in the same category right now as the Chiefs when it comes to winning and losing, when they win the game is fixed for them, but when they lose it’s all fair and they just choked and sucked. Kinda sad to not give a team credit where credit is due….
Appreciate the level-headed analysis. Sincerely from a Dodger fan

Finally some common sense. Dodgers picked this guy up because Kopec is hurt....but most non Dodgers fan don't know this. Just remember people....Last team to repeat was over 20 years ago.
3:24 minute that part.
All these acquisitions are nice but in the end it’s all about the only goal every season and that’s the 🏆. Great job @iTalk studios 👏🏽👍🏽 let’s go Dodgers
People forget how decimated the dodgers rotation was at the end of the season two years in a row. 2023: broken down Kershaw, rookie Bobby Miller and 350 lb Lance Lynn. That was the year Eduardo Rodriguez declined a trade to LA.
2024: Yamamoto, Flaherty and Walker Buehler plus a ton of BULLPEN games.
So maybe they don’t want to end up with 1.5 viable starting pitchers anymore?
It's crazy how Yankees Fans have been coming to the Dodgers Defense.
The Dodgers are just filling out the 40-man roster, not just the game-active one. Quality depth for a long season.
Every fan wants their team to operate like the Dodgers. I know I wish my favorite teams did. They spend money and they're smart about it. Some teams spend money, like the Mets, but with a drunken sailor approach. Others are smart, like the Rays, but don't spend enough to be consistent. The Dodgers shouldn't be begrudged for knowing what they're doing and being successful.
love your content
Thank you!!
@@iTalkStudios wanna fornicate about it?
dude is a bitch. why did he make a 6 minute video without mentioning the 1.4 BILLION in Deferred money? instead he really just claimed that Tampa Bay & Pittsburgh also have the ability to spent 1 BILLION dollars on just 2 players like L.A did last year. he didn't state any facts, he just ran with his own emotions. video was just pathetic. this dude would make a terrible journalist
Best baseball creator always looking for your videos at work every day !!
As a dodger fan thank you for the monster comment. I hate 2020 talks, i think it was a great chip, in one of the tuffest moments of recent history they won where it coulda been ANYONES game. They were pissed, took it personally now were more engaged than ever
Kansas City chiefs, golden state warriors, all super teams at one point, now MLB has the dodgers as a ridiculous super team. Everyone outside LA wants them to lose.
Bro, you make too much sense 👏🏼
EVERY team could have got him. They chose not to and the dodgers say "fine we'll take him" and people are mad? Fools
