2024 NLDS: Dodgers changing approach with schedule during first-round bye layoff 

I Hope They End Up With The Best Record In Major League Baseball ! Let’s Gooooo Dodgers 💙💙⚾️⚾️

The Phillies have the best home record in baseball and are odds on favorites to come out of NL. You want as many games at home that you can get especially against SD and PhI. There is no "easy" path in the NL and this team , who's been bounced out early the last two years can't be selective about anything.

If we go into the postseason firing on all cylinders then we'll be a difficult team for anyone to beat. The pitching (including the bullpen), defense, and situational hitting is going to determine our postseason success a lot more than where/who we play.

The bye is a blessing and a curse. I hope this offense can stay hot even after the layoff

Sooner the better we get the Padres out the way the “Better” … That is the challenge 💯🔥

Go Dodgers

Can we all agree, bucket hats and headphones don't go together?

How about a Japanese or foreign team come to play the Dodgers during this week?

every practice should start with that Padres Triple Play on the big screen.

I was very disappointed that the Dodgers only allowed season ticket members into the workout games last year. I think they should consider allowing all fans in this year and not put a limit. If you want to make it a postseason atmosphere you have to pack the place and let us poors in there 😂😂

They should bring in the okc team and have a couple short Sim games, facing live pitchers is crucial to keep their rhythm and timing.

My idea is to fly in the OKC team next week to play a game against the Dodgers in front of a packed stadium with, say, a million bucks for the winning team. The risk of injury might be too high, but low-intensity bye weeks the past 2 seasons have yielded quick playoff exits.

"That's a bad move, baseball-wise, karma-wise, baseball-gods-wise," - Shumaker. Play it out 100%

They should take three days off then gradually ramp up . Play a couple of 3 and five inning scrimmages three and two days before game 1 and take the day off before the playoffs resume.

Taking a week off hasn’t been good to the bye teams. Thats like nfl teams taking a month off in the playoffs . Wild card teams win and keep the momentum going and beat the rusty bye teams

For this year I think the bye was crucial. The pitching staff is limping to the finish line. Dodgers should’ve brought those 2 Korean teams to scrimmage and let fans in. And what I noticed this year when position players went on the IL, they didn’t rehab. They were put back in the lineup. Maybe to get them used to getting it going

Monday, Jack Flarety has to report to stadium to work on pitching mechanics and to pitch a triple A game

Since the wild card round has been introduced the team with the best record has only won the World Series seven times. Dodgers being one of them - Covid year (47 wins).

You know the problem with the Dodgers is every year they try to go by a pre-adjusted script of how to get ready for the playoffs. And then their plan goes awry. And usually they make some really dumb plan. They have a worn out squad this year . And an aging injury prone. ; Injury laden team !!! And they're going to ABSOLUTELY rely on their bullpen to handle a massive load during the next 11 to 19 games of the tournament format. Not necessarily. But more than likely . They will. The last thing you want to do is scrimmage too much with these old ,tired , worn out , injury prone , backloaded chin deep on the IL guys! Of course you want to minimize the load you idiots.

Phillies and Padres both won the season series’s against us. Padres hottest team post all-star break. Better to have those two in the same bracket so they tire each other out, eliminating one, in my opinion. Instead we have to play both. What do you think our pitching rotation will be?

This show is the BEST
