I feel like ppl who are trying to have Ohtani hitting leadoff are a little simple-minded. He was already breaking out of his slump and had a great game hitting 2nd when Mookie got injured. The highest potential for our lineup is when Mookie is at leadoff because he is more patient with his swings and can get on base. It plays perfectly to both of their strengths as Ohtani has the power to just immediately hit in Betts.
phillies team are a complete team because the manager puts in the same lineup every game... it doesn't matter if you are facing a lefty or righty you are playing .. Roberts changes the bottom part of the lineup every game reason why those struggling hitters can never get into rhythm
The Tigers are not trading Skubal, unless they get a haul of top ranked prospects, which the Dodgers do not have. Think top 20, plus another top 75, and then a couple young lottery tickets. They do not need to trade Skubal, so someone needs to offer enough to make them think it’s worth it to trade a Cy Young candidate.
@@AndreP1524 we been winning 10 years st8 in first and get bounced out early we win 100 games each year + it means nothing its just about getting hot for 3 weeks nothing else matters its just facts
1. Randy, 2. Skubal, if he's not available or the cost affects getting others, then Crochet, 3. Tanner Scott. If Skubal won't be available or the cost will affect getting others then focus on Crochet in tandem with Pham (to reinforce the bench). If Skubal is a no, expand the trade and seek Randy in tandem with Eflin. If Eflin or Crochet won't be available then seek for Kikuchi in tandem with IKF. If Randy is a no, then in addition to Pham and IKF, seek Jesse Winker or even Taylor Ward. If they get Crochet and Eflin or Kikuchi, Tanner might be less urgent.
Love the show. Crochet and Kukuchi for sure. Bats needed such as Robert or Arozarena , and Paredes. Outman and Lux to AAA DFA Biggio. Trade Knack DePaola, Rushing Hosie, Bruns Vargas, and anyone else to get the big dawgs.
@@bman2080808if we can find even 1 person that's good at hitting with RISP it would tremendously increase our chances at getting to and possibly winning a WS
Crochet is on a pitch/innings limit from TJS. He’s currently in unknown territory innings-wise. We don’t know if he will be available late in-season. Kind of like Glasnow.
Mizuhara has pleaded guilty to two felony charges of bank fraud and filing a false tax return. He will also need to pay back Ohtani $17 million. According to Yahoo Sports, Mizuhara has been sentenced to prison for 46 years and will not be eligible for parole until he is 104 years of age. He is serving time at the Washington State Penitentiary
I see us getting Jack Flaherty and a utility guy. Like they said, Freidman will not be forced into overpaying. Would love to get Fairbanks and Arozarena
Time to either release, trade or assign Barnes, Taylor, Kiké, Lux, Cartaya and Outman for a frontline pitcher and a quality infielder and of course, fire 🔥 Roberts...which is way overdue. Oh, also do likewise with journeyman Kershaw.
Fans need to chill lol .. we in first place and we have how many starting pitchers injured? Like 8(5 aces) plus key bullpen pieces. Plus eventually 3 all star bats Max Betts + trade piece and eventually at least one rookie will get it together.
Interesting the previous two seasons the Dodgers won over 100 plus games and were the wonder team everyone believed would win and almost expected to, but we know what happened. This year not the same thing, but expect them to win their division but SD, SF, and AD seem to own the Dodgers and look forward to playing them first. I hope this really is the wake up call, that this is the first season they’re not expected to coast through the playoffs. On the other hand if they don’t we’ve laid the foundation why they didn’t perform in the playoffs. I’m hoping for the best and the players realize with a lot of veterans they have this year.
A strong hitting coach would have these players adjust their swings and stances Ohtani should bring his hands down and closer to his body for more control instead of trying to crank evey pitch
@@kmichaeledwards4970 I’ve noticed ohtani whiffs a lot with breaking balls on the corners especially outside corner, dude needs to relax and just try to poke the ball other way
I AGREE WITH U SKURBAL AND CROCHET AND ANDERSON . RANDY IS NOT A DODGER HE CANT FIELD AND WE OUR HOPING OF PAST HITTING AND HE NOT THAT GUY ANYMORE. I SEE DA DODGERS GETTING ANDERSON CUZ THEY DONT LIKE GIVING UP TONS OF PROSPECTS. KERSHAW MONEY PERIOD IF HE HEALTHY AND I ASLO THINK THAT OHTANI COULD PITCH IN DA WORLD SERIES
I love Justin Turner but he’s currently on track for the lowest output in BA, HRs & RBIs in over a decade. He may end up with the highest number of GIDPs in his career (currently at 13 with his high at 16). His OBP remains above average and would be 4th on the Dodgers. He’s only played 5 games this year at 3rd base, where an upgrade is needed.
I'm not sure who's going to get traded for who, but what I really want to know is when are our jersey top grays are going to match our pants. We look like a minor league team.
WOULD YOU POSSIBLELY CONSIDER TRAINING FOR ( CHICAGO CUBS STARTING PICHER SHOTA IMANAGA AT THE TRADING DEADLINE FOR HIGH LEVEL TALENT WHICH THE LOS ANGELES DODGERS CERTAINLY HAVE IN THEIR FARM SYSTEM. BRENT
dodgers need to fix the bottom of the lineup there not winning anything in the playoffs this it and get a ace like starter if possible to many injuries and holes in the roster
Been saying for a long time that Dave Roberts needs to go. Shohei ohtani should be batting fourth. They don't care if he's leading off one run who cares if they make a mistake. He's batting forth one or two are on base then they got to pitch him differently. Cuz if you make a mistake then it's not one .nothing. it's possibly two. nothing or three nothing .bass customary is for nothing. Until the other players get off the DL he should be betting forth.
Dodgers should go for the Hail Mary and ask Angels for Rendon and Trout (and Angels paying 70% of salaries). Angels get Lux, Outman, Bobby Miller and then prospects Nick Frasso, Diego Cartaya, Kyle Hurt and one top 10 prospect
The Dodgers need to fire Dave Roberts and the hitting coach. It’s time for a change. This team is not going anywhere. We all before the season started that this team was going to be a bust. Unless Andrew Friedman pulls out the 🐇 from the 🎩 and surprises all of us with the Acquisitions he’s been cooking behind closed doors. In Andrew Friedman we trust.
Nothing is fixing this team. Absolutely nothing. That showing in Philly was pitiful. If you can’t get up for that atmosphere then stay home. Always next year 🙄
@@edomarpez1840No kidding. anyone who has only followed this team since Friedman became GM have no idea whst a terrific job this ownership- management team does every year.

I'll take a clutch hitter over a bomber any day of the week!
GOATANI....The Winning hit against the Tigers... just the plain GOAT!
Your right DODGERS do have all the denero and prospects and also the Most players in the major league on the shelf
Keep Dave Roberts like a morale officer in the army and get a real Coach with steel resolve and start winning the big games
I personally really forgot to mentioned that the Chicago CIBS ARE IN LAST PLACE IN THE NATIONAL LEAGUE EAST.
What the heck is going on with the Dodgers, I can’t believe they are losing this many games
Buster Olney is a GOAT! That was EPIC! Thanks DMAC for getting him on...
Kikuchi, Arozarena and Flaherty would be the ideal acquisitions.
Not another .200 hitter
Crochet and regnifo would be better
I feel like ppl who are trying to have Ohtani hitting leadoff are a little simple-minded. He was already breaking out of his slump and had a great game hitting 2nd when Mookie got injured.

Completely agree. Ohtani as leadoff is a waste

Damm. It is hard to believe this is him taking the hit for Sho.
Go Ohtani!
What do you think about Sweeney or Gauthier called up to backup Rojas at SS ? And Mookie at 2B when he comes back ?
Let's get jazz Chisholm,Kikuchi an Luzardo go dodgers
I see us getting Jack Flaherty and a utility guy. Like they said, Freidman will not be forced into overpaying. Would love to get Fairbanks and Arozarena
Rojas needs to start at short during the playoffs. Like Buster mentioned, it’s tough to deal with errors during the playoffs.
The Dodgers need to acquire Mason Miller from the A’s for Outman.
I just don’t think we’ll be able to do enough at the deadline to actually win it. Really hope I’m wrong
Time to either release, trade or assign Barnes, Taylor, Kiké, Lux, Cartaya and Outman for a frontline pitcher and a quality infielder and of course, fire 🔥 Roberts...which is way overdue.
Oh, also do likewise with journeyman Kershaw.
Know body wants to trade for these guys. Their value goes down every day that passes.
It’s funny because Barnes is actually quietly hitting over .250 this year
Fans need to chill lol .. we in first place and we have how many starting pitchers injured? Like 8(5 aces) plus key bullpen pieces. Plus eventually 3 all star bats Max Betts + trade piece and eventually at least one rookie will get it together.
This one I basically already over! Not getting 3 runs off of Skubal. Don't even have a hit yet!

The Dodgers are 6-3 against the Giants this year. I don't think that's the definition of "Owning"
@@InnovaAuto Sorry I, meant owning them in playoffs and like a animal smells fear in a human. Wake up.
Brent Rooker would be a good bat in the lineup. He isn't a very good defensive outfielder tho

This entire "load management" philosophy by Dave Roberts and maybe the front office ISN'T WORKING. The pitching staff needs a brand new approach.
Do you really believe Robert’s has any say in the “load management”? This is the front office.
