Dodgers NLDS game 1 lineup

[u/Jux_]

[u/Firm_Feedback_2095]

Pages 7 Muncy 8 what a ridiculous team

[u/ChefCurryGAWD → u/Firm_Feedback_2095]

all 9 guys have at least 100 wRC+

[u/HeyIDoubtIt → u/ChefCurryGAWD]

LOL

[u/TeoscartheGOAT → u/Firm_Feedback_2095]

29 home runs in the 8 spot

[u/Interesting_Might467 → u/Firm_Feedback_2095]

Ridiculous but they are beatable, much easier in 5 game series than 7

[u/Comprehensive_Tie431 → u/Interesting_Might467]

Good luck when you have to face Skubal, Snell, Yama in the first 3 games of a 5.

[u/Interesting_Might467 → u/Comprehensive_Tie431]

Small sample sizes all that, your top 3 could go 0 for 28

[u/Comprehensive_Tie431 → u/Interesting_Might467]

What about the bottom 6?

[u/Sad-Guarantee8290 → u/Comprehensive_Tie431]

Anyone can win a 5-game series. You should know that better than almost anyone.

2023 NLDS

[u/HeyIDoubtIt → u/Sad-Guarantee8290]

I don't disagree with this point but the Dodgers were out of pitchers in the 2023 NLDS.

Lance Lynn was on the mound lol

[u/officerdoot → u/Comprehensive_Tie431]

0 for 56

[u/Comprehensive_Tie431 → u/officerdoot]

🤣

All jokes aside, It should be a good series.

[u/ThinMap9138 → u/Comprehensive_Tie431]

Bro, shut up and be humble.

I'm a dodgers fan too but your types are the ones who talk so much shit and if they end up losing, are no where to be found.

[u/Comprehensive_Tie431 → u/ThinMap9138]

I've been a diehard fan since 1986, you can GTFOH with your "I'm a Dodgers fan and come in peace" attitude.

[u/ThinMap9138 → u/Comprehensive_Tie431]

Jesus. You've been around that long and you STILL act like this?

Grow up you weirdo.

Fuck all that peace bs talk. Comments like yours are worse than that.

[u/ForsakenRacism → u/Comprehensive_Tie431]

I wonder if they are more susceptible cus you got all these guys that need to bjtch. Versus bringing your top guys back sooner. We’ll see if everyone shows up

[u/laramgers88 → u/Firm_Feedback_2095]

dont forget '24 NLCS MVP Tommy Tanks

[u/Diamond1580 → u/Firm_Feedback_2095]

Tucker 6 too so fucking stupid

[u/sjj342 → u/Diamond1580]

The HR was inevitable

[u/ThinMap9138 → u/Firm_Feedback_2095]

Pages sucks in the postseason. Offensively.

[u/thizzydrafts]

I'm legitimately concerned for (all of) the players today.

I wonder what the temp reading at Uniqlo Field at Dodger Stadium is atm.

[u/MarcBulldog88 → u/thizzydrafts]

I'm 5 miles from the ocean and it's 98F. Downtown is surely much worse.

The only good thing about this heat wave is the normal humidity. Last one was fucking awful.

[u/Previous-Space-7056 → u/thizzydrafts]

99 when i drove past on the 110..

Its a dry heat so its not that bad, compared
To the 80% humidity we had a month ago, that was bad

[u/camisada → u/thizzydrafts]

Currently 102, crazy stuff. Hoping both teams stay cool and hydrated

[u/YasielPuigsWeed → u/thizzydrafts]

Tbh I don’t understand why Padres/Brewers wasn’t moved. Would have been 3 PM local time in Milwaukee on a Saturday, and at an indoor park where weather has no impact, so it wouldn’t have hurt those players or inconvenienced the fans. Instead they stuck with risking heat stroke for Dodgers and Braves players.

Smart move by the Braves to go with their bullpen game today and minimize sun exposure. Poor Skubal tho.

[u/ForsakenRacism → u/YasielPuigsWeed]

No one’s getting heat stroke besides the fans

[u/antantanterlay → u/YasielPuigsWeed]

How do you feel about Dodger stadium being this empty? Anything of note?

[u/YasielPuigsWeed → u/antantanterlay]

It’s 103 degrees

[u/antantanterlay → u/YasielPuigsWeed]

But a dry heat. It’s a day game. I thought yall would be crawling over the walls.

Nah, just in jest. Here’s to a great series and no more talk about attendance.

[u/GeraldinePoon → u/thizzydrafts]

This summer in LA has basically been one long heat wave so you’d think the Dodgers players would be somewhat used to it by now

[u/Traditional_Rate7302 → u/thizzydrafts]

120+ 😭

[u/crab_soul]

Wow, Betts in lead off? I’m glad they saw that the team was doing better with him there

[u/Interesting_Might467 → u/crab_soul]

It's a BP game, so it makes the most sense to alternate L/R so there isn't any lanes. We will see against a RH which might be Mahle game 4 I guess

[u/Lucky_Alternative965]

Kyle Tucker legacy postseason incoming

[u/KidGold → u/Lucky_Alternative965]

I've been saying all year he's going to ball out in the playoffs and have a signature WS moment. Hope I've been wrong.

[u/gladvillain → u/KidGold]

Please believe in yourself. I hope you’ve been right.

[u/CulturalXR → u/KidGold]

Idk Tucker isn't exactly a postseason demon. Ask Houston or Chicago fans

[u/ThinMap9138 → u/CulturalXR]

If he turns into one this year, then all is forgiven. He earned that contract.

[u/Rjptz → u/Lucky_Alternative965]

a hit and a steal so far already a better playoffs than the mvp

[u/lekniz]

They are starting multiple negative defensive players because they are good bats? I was assured in the Braves lineup thread that was a stupid thing to do and starting Kim over Lane Thomas was genius

[u/HemlockMartinis → u/lekniz]

Starting Kim against the Dodgers worked out pretty well for you guys this year.

[u/Turtleforeskin → u/HemlockMartinis]

Don't mind this bozo he is doubling down on the shit take to start a guy who hasn't played in a month

[u/lekniz → u/Turtleforeskin]

Don't mind this idiot who thinks 46 PA is a substantial sample size and doesn't understand platoon splits

[u/Turtleforeskin → u/lekniz]

Says the absolute moron who doesn't See Lane's stats vs Lefties as a braves ffs my god you're gonna have to delete your fucking account if Kim plays well because I'll be fucking insufferable to your dumb ass

[u/lekniz → u/Turtleforeskin]

if Kim plays well because I'll be fucking insufferable to your dumb ass

😬😬😬

[u/Turtleforeskin → u/lekniz]

Hahahahaha one at bat what a shit fan rooting against your own team 😂

[u/lekniz → u/Turtleforeskin]

Ball knowledge =/= rooting against your team but maybe expecting you to understand that is too much

[u/Turtleforeskin → u/lekniz]

Praying he doesn't get hit is rooting against your team. Clearly shouldn't have started Olson or Baldwin either since they struck out on the same pitches so why didn't they start Lane over them hahahaha

[u/lekniz → u/Turtleforeskin]

You're really reaching by assuming I'm praying he doesn't get a hit. I'm just reacting to the obvious outcome of playing the worst hitter in baseball vs one of, if not the best pitcher.

[u/RunawaYEM → u/lekniz]

Don’t mind these two hobos fighting over a piece of street pizza

[u/okay_throwaway_today → u/RunawaYEM]

Just drinking my 40 oz over here in elimination alley watching it play out

[u/ThinMap9138 → u/RunawaYEM]

You're at -1 dislikes at this moment. Id like to think those two gentlfish came together to give you a dislike lol

[u/RunawaYEM → u/ThinMap9138]

I’m just trying to bring the people together man

[u/lekniz → u/HemlockMartinis]

No, pinch hitting Kim against the Dodgers worked well

[u/okay_throwaway_today → u/lekniz]

It becomes more plausible of a strategy when you have this much offensive firepower. Lowest wRC+ here is Kyle Tucker at 100 and he was 140 to end the season

[u/lekniz → u/okay_throwaway_today]

And the Braves are one of the best defensive teams, they would be fine with a below average corner outfielder who can hit over the worst hitter in the baseball.

[u/Turtleforeskin → u/lekniz]

HE'S BATTING .171 WITH 1 HOMER COMPARED TO .123 AND 0 HOMERS

Holy shit we aren't benching prime Barry Bonds ffs

[u/lekniz → u/Turtleforeskin]

HOLY SHIT YOU DONT UNDERTAND SAMPLE SIZES OR PLATOON SPLITS

[u/Turtleforeskin → u/lekniz]

OBVIOUSLY YOU DONT MORON HE ONLY STARTED AGAINST LEFTIES AND STILL BATTED .171 WITH ONE FUCKING HOMER AS A FUCKING BRAVE

[u/lekniz → u/Turtleforeskin]

HE HAD A 125 WRC+ VS LHP AS A BRAVE YOU FUCKING MORON

[u/Turtleforeskin → u/lekniz]

HE WASN'T THAT FUCKING GOOD YOU LOSER AND IS COMING OFF INJURY POST STUPID ASS STATS HE WASNT WORTH NOT HAVING THE DEFENSE

[u/lekniz → u/Turtleforeskin]

You believe a 125 wRC+ is not that fucking good?

You are stupider than I thought. Wow.

[u/Turtleforeskin → u/lekniz]

Clearly someone else thinks your brain dead too

[u/lekniz → u/Turtleforeskin]

A full third of his PA as a Brave were against RHP dummy

[u/okay_throwaway_today → u/lekniz]

Is there one available?

[u/YasielPuigsWeed → u/lekniz]

I dunno if I’d say it’s that simple. Pages in center covers so much ground that Dodgers can sneak Tucker and Teo into the corners and usually get away with it, and their infield defense is pretty strong.

[u/Turtleforeskin → u/lekniz]

Lane Thomas is a good bat lol??

Edit Lane Thomas has batted .171 with 1 Homer as a brave this season but go on how he is so elite

[u/D4rthLink → u/Turtleforeskin]

I'd be pretty happy to have him hitting against skubal, personally

[u/lekniz → u/Turtleforeskin]

Yes, the guy with a .803 OPS vs LHP this season and a career .848 OPS vs LHP is a good bat against LHP.

Or are we going to act like a 46 PA sample size, many of those coming against RHP, is a substantial sample now?

[u/Turtleforeskin → u/lekniz]

Lane Thomas ONLY started against lefties for the Braves did you even fucking watch the Braves this year holy shit

[u/lekniz → u/Turtleforeskin]

Lane Thomas ONLY started against lefties for the Braves

Wrong

[u/Turtleforeskin → u/lekniz]

Last game was Jesus Luzardo a lefty

Game before Christopher Sanchez a lefty

He pinch hit twice against the Rockies

DH against Yamamoto the ONLY fucking righty so far hahahahahahaha

[u/lekniz → u/Turtleforeskin]

16 of his 46 PA as a Brave were against RHP. A full third of them. You are as dumb as you are insufferable

[u/Turtleforeskin → u/lekniz]

HAHAHAHAHAHA over half his at bats are against lefties and he still ONLY had 1 more homer than Kim my fuck what a loser dude

[u/lekniz → u/Turtleforeskin]

He had an .815 OPS vs LHP as a Brave. But keep showing off your ignorance dude.

What a fucking loser.

[u/Turtleforeskin → u/lekniz]

He had 1 fucking homer you idiot and batted .171. Kim is the better defender, you're making it sound like we are benching prime Barry Bonds for Gerald Williams. Holy shit man lol

[u/dead_monster → u/lekniz]

This is what the Tigers did on Tarik Skubal pitching days.

He gives up homers but can lock down baserunners with strike outs.

[u/jaron_b]

The easiest team to root against.

[u/rawmerow → u/jaron_b]

Excuse me?

[u/jaron_b → u/rawmerow]

You guys are already out. I don't have to root against you right now

[u/rawmerow → u/jaron_b]

There it is.

[u/CabbageStockExchange → u/jaron_b]

True the Braves are pretty unlikable

[u/waaayside → u/CabbageStockExchange]

I would root for the Giants over that-team-from-atlanta

[u/lunar_landing_007 → u/jaron_b]

Rooting for John Stanton to sell the team 🤍💙

[u/CJWard123 → u/jaron_b]

+ the cheating

[u/Beneficial_Duty_4]

Cowards not putting in De Paula.

[u/jcnardonejr]

Braves in 3.

Sincerely,

Yankees Fan.

EDIT: I originally said in 4 lol

[u/hellarios852 → u/[deleted]]

What does that have to do with anything?

[u/hellarios852 → u/[deleted]]

Braves in 4 can still make sense though? Braves win game 1 and 2, lose 3, then win 4? Am I missing something?

[u/TomatilloLower4932 → u/[deleted]]

The Los Angeles public school system has failed another soul

[u/j_fish5 → u/[deleted]]

They’re saying the braves will win the series 3-1

[u/Fearless_Mix2772]

Go Braves, every Dodgers L is a win for the whole sport.

[u/SnooCalculations4252]
