The Dodgers Are BETTER Than We Thought 

Glasnow has been a pleasant surprise. If there's a spot in the Hall for enabling career turnarounds, Mark Prior deserves that spot.

this year they have ohtani,yamamoto, Tyler,teos.andy pages..they all really doing their job well.

Just to think: if Glasnow stays healthy, Yamamoto improves to close being his form in Japan League, Buhler regain 75% of how he was, and Kershaw gets 75% of old self too. Wow

They've also drawn in baseball fans who don't really have a team to root for. I haven't watched baseball since the Brave's in the 90's. I now consider myself a dodgers fan from Tennessee and have watched every game and couldn't be happier that I chose to start watching baseball again. Not to mention the nearly the entire country of Japan now watches the Dodgers, I'd say that management made some excellent moves.

Call me impressed. The Dodgers didn't play down to my beloved Braves. They played their brand of baseball, and did it quite well. I hope the Braves eventually get out of this funk. They are better than how they are playing. But many times in the past, even when the Braves were rolling, they would play down to the level of slumping teams. I was hoping the level of competition would wake the Braves up. It did not. The Dodgers showed up to win, and win they did. My hats off to them.

Music to my ears. Thank you for not being biased and reporting the facts. I love being a Dodgers fan.

They're just a solid organization in every way. Management is solid with a seemingly blank checkbook, team is solid every year, farm system is elite, and their player development is insane.

This is the content I'm looking for. I like you're concise! All the other baseball channels are yapping and yapping. A video under 5 minutes holy shit I'm subscribing!

1927 Yankee's Murderer's row had a team OPS+ of 127. Dodgers right now are at 129. They very well may be the strongest offensive lineup in history when compared to the rest of the league. The 2017 cheating astros also had a 127 ops+.

You can tell when a dynasty is happening. Their coach has a good system down, and everyone knows their roles. Time will tell about their shortstop situation.

Dodgers can hit a “rough spot” and still be a top 3 team in baseball. That’s saying something.

Dodgers starting rotation in the 2023 postseason consisted of a rookie in Bobby Miller and two aging veterans in Lance Lynn and Clayton Kershaw, the latter of whom turned out to need shoulder surgery. 2024 Dodgers starting pitchers: Tyler Glasnow Yoshinobu Yamamoto James Paxton Walker Buehler Clayton Kershaw Bobby Miller Gavin Stone Dustin May Starting pitching has been plaguing the Dodgers for several years now. They really decided that they aren't going to fuck around this year. Glasnow and Yamamoto are looking like aces, and even old man Paxton has been getting it done for them.

With Ohtani coming back pitching next year 😂😂😂😂 Pitching will be ace Hitting will be ace All they need is a dominant closer The team will be unstoppable

Gavin Stone has been fantastic, and honestly one of the biggest factors to stabilizing the rotation. He's probably going to hit a few bumps cause of how young he is, but his breakout has been a major factor to our success (of course among other things). Big Maple's been serviceable too. Has control issues, but has been able to limit runs, and eat up important innings. He also did really well against the Braves, and looked like he had better control of the ball.

I’m writing this on Monday 5/6/2024… Treinen returned yesterday and pitched really well against the braves. Helped the dodgers sweep them. Walker Buehler returns today against the marlins. I’m really looking forward to this game. Saw his first rehab game against the Tacoma Rainiers, pitched a solid two innings before kinda falling apart, but again…it was his first game back from Tommy John surgery so that was kind of expected.

Never seen a team go that big in the offseason and have every single signing show out. Even James Paxton is 4-0 with an ERA almost in the 2’s. Crazy…

The only thing that really pisses me about my beloved Dodgers is what they did to Trevor Bauer

Lead the league in everything and still feels like they have lots of issues to work through and figure out.

Whats insane is alot of fans, especially new fans forget that this teams always been an absolute unit. 2017 - 104 wins 2018 - 93 wins 2019 - 106 wins 2020 - 700+ win % 2021 - 106 wins 2022 - 111 wins 2023 - 100 wins In that span, they've made the World Series 3x and won 1. Have made the playoffs every year since 2013, won the division every year in that span minus 2021. Have made it at least to the NLCS 7x. Just the list of stars that have worn that uniform just in thay span is ridiculous. The # all stars, MVPs, and other awards achieved is insane

Cyler Glasnow ✅ I imagining the Dodger fan faces and emotion in Monday Walker Buehler return from the mound since 22 after TJ surgery

I hope that them being so good on the hitting side will allow them to rest or not pressure their pitchers as much to keep them healthy. We're seeing a major push for pitchers to throw more, and throw harder and so many guys are going out because of it. Realistically the only major way to avoid those issues is to just not throw as hard, (not removing the pitch clock or more sticky stuff like some people say). With the dodgers being such a dominant hitting lineup I hope that they can allow their starting lineup to go a bit less crazy on velo through the season, keep themselves healthy and have depth free of injury because of that later in october. This is a team that realistically could have their pitchers throw 90% effort for the entire season and still make the playoffs. It would be interesting to see if doing something like that, perhaps even sacrificing the best record in the league, in order to have a Bullpen and lineup at 100% health come October would be worth it, that's simply not a luxury any other team has but it could work magic in an age where its almost assumed that 1-2 of a teams best pitchers and hitters will be unavailable come postseason.

Unfortunately I agree, the Dodgers are loaded this year and they’re about to get 3-4 top end pitchers back off IL. But staying healthy is their biggest concern. They have a bunch of dudes on that team who are susceptible to injury over the course of a long season. I’m a Padres fan and I never root for injuries but it’s probably gonna happen at some point

Nobody said the dodgers wouldn’t be good, it was whether or not they’d show up in the playoffs.

Dodgers rule

Glasnow 🔥🔥

followed ohtani last year. the alcs walked him constantly. with the dodgers he gets to swing and doesnt have to do more at every at bat. he can just make contact at tough at bats and gets singles as well as his normal doubles and homers

I’ll never understand being mad at the Dodgers for spending. I’m mad at my team because they WONT spend.

You are not gonna tell me to “just forget” Yamamotos first start just because of what he has done after, that first start dictates a lot and for a lot of people he will be known for getting knocked around in his first start

This team is scary. Haven’t even gotten Dustin May back yet.

Just wait till playoffs 😁

The Dodgers didnt avoid Luxury tax with the Ohtani contract, he still counts 35 mil per year against the cap and luxury tax

Gavin stone recently had a great outing too

I’m so glad I didn’t choose the angels

If there is something better than the best, then yeah...they are better than we thought!

"0:11" didn't have to worry about the luxury tax. 40+ million dollars a year counts towards that tax.

They're still Paying luxury tax for Ohtani. You can't defer luxury tax salary, so all 70 million a year still goes against their luxury tax, so in a way they're still paying 40+ million a year for Ohtani.

I'm watching this video 4 days later and they have won 3 more

so so glad shohei went to the dodgers and not stuck around in that purgatory called the angels. dont be like mike trout there.

Kershaw should be bullpen only.

Buehler will not start in the postseason, maybe in relief. Dodgers will play very safe with him coming off TJ. IMO starters will be Glasnow, Yama and Miller. If using 4 starters plug in Kershaw. I just hope our bat will get hot in October

better than we thought? i mean who honestly thought they wouldnt be good? lol

Ah dang, Spencer won't be losing another game to the Phillies in the postseason this year.

The farm system is now bone dry for the first time in 12 years. If you hate the Dodgers that is one good thing to look forward to

Also Roki will be here shortly so three Japanese pitchers 😂

Bro they don’t have Buhler, May, Tony The Cat man, Kershaw

*110* Screenshot me idc im calling it. *Think Blue!*

Sho asked for deferred money not the dodgers 0:13

It goes to show how fans can be negative.

Pump the brakes... Glassnow will be breaking soon enough! Give him time!

the dodgers team dr is the best surgeon in the country... glasnow was reevaluated by him and is in good hands

unless its playoffs

We’ll see how they perform in the playoffs…lol

They lure the best talent away from other teams because they're given the money to do so. Two words...Freddie Freeman. 🤷‍♀️

Still can be beaten by a wild card team in first round. Baseball playoff is stupid

Dodgers will win 100+ Games this year: Check! Dodgers will win the National league West:Check! Dodgers will have a first round Bye:Check! Who Cares!! The Dodger season begins in October, and we all know what that means, Disappointment and underachievement! Perhaps we should wait before judging just how good this team is, or could be!

This is the Dodgers. You need to wait until the playoffs.

dodger fans are over here tehehing lol

This aged like fine wine

Ignorant mob is losing the sight yet again. It’s amazing. Doesn’t matter if the Dodgers are better than you thought or I thought. I can care less if they win every single game from here. Last time I checked, West division title is not WS ring. Unreal

I'm just not a believer. And it's not because I question anything you've said. It's that DBacks over Dodgers in last year's NLDS was the easiest call I've ever made in 32 years of religiously watching baseball. I need to see LA grind out Ws in the toughest games against the toughest opponents for the highest stakes the regular season has to offer. That's what I need to see from LA before I believe they're a Postseason team.

Don't ever show Freddie Freeman trying to shake his hips again. Ugh.

I won’t lie I was originally one of the ones who thought Yamamoto was bad mainly because the first few games he pitched and lost cost me my parleys on draftkings

All the dodgers have to do to ensure they make it through the playoffs is to get rid of Kershaw.

yamamoto is a bust he is gonna give up like 10 runs per game in the playoffs.

Dodgers suck

Dodgers fans are so unbelievably spoiled. Enjoy your money ride.

Overrated since 1988

Many teams can pay a billion dollars to have a baseball team. So unfair could be considered an understatement.

We’re a 2 months in. They will take a shit when it matters. Happens every year.

loving the team but in the end no ones gonna acknowledge our success even if we win, with this roster
