IIRC, Yelich had a pretty quiet 2018 postseason the year he went supernova and won league MVP, too.
-
I think he has put in the work and he's found a way to make a mlb playoff roster - expecting more from that guy who was a minor league rule 5 draft pick from the flipping rockies last offseason
-
I'm asking you the same question - do you really think Attanasio owns the whole team? Do you really think he takes the team profits for himself and those arent reinvested in the organization??
-
Just not happening enough and pressing when they stumble into those situations - lights are too bright against a team that doesnt mind the increased pressure at all. Having Yelich be worse than a nonfactor really hurts
-
Show me the receipt where he took profits out of the team operations and bought a yacht...I bet the rest of the 60% of ownership interests would love to see that, too.
-
They went through a week or two where they were on shutout watch nightly...that was back when the Cubs were the 27 Yankees on offense and PCA wasnt trying to rob HR hit 30 feet over the wall
-
Ive never wished injuries on players directly.... But the only way for the rest of mlb to compete with this Dodgers team in any given year is if theyre filling up the IL - the Dodgers were just that most of the regular season and thats why this team didnt win 115+ games. Now they are healthy and toying with playoff opponents. Had they not gotten their rotation healthy, fresh, and playoff-ready, this would have been a fair fight. Maybe I should keep typing this post - as a timid rally is sort of brewing.
-
Yes, it is when they are pitching this way
-
Were you around in April/May this year? Thats what this feels like
-
Hate that the offense went in the freezer and theyre just not competitive....but honest question - if the ALCS winner doesnt do much better against this rotation in the World Series (and I dont think they will if they pitch like this again), will that be enough for the rest of MLB to realize what needs to happen to the economic system to make things even reasonably competitive? Ohtani is getting paid $2m this season in order for the Dodgers to have Yamamoto, Snell, and Glasnow on this team right now

Brewers (Ashby) @ Dodgers (Glasnow): 10/16/25, 5:08pm CT

I keep thinking his hammy is fatigued and weakened from the strain earlier this summer, and Chourio is just spent. When he has these flareups it seems like its cramping mlre than anything. Dude was trying to stretch it out after the swing today - you dont do that if it's on the verge of tearing. Didn't have enough time to fully recover and strengthen it, and as a 21 yr old that makes alot of sense. I dont see how he plays tomorrow, but then again he didnt miss a game innthe Cub series (albeit with an offday in between) -

If you want to look at it that way - the Dodgers' ownership are cheapskates compared to the Brewers when it comes to how much they pay the roster relative to the amount of revenue they generate. They could actually spend a ton more if they wanted to. Therein lies the problem -
If a salary cap isnt going to happen and the luxury tax is what we are left with, then I think they need to adjust how deferred contracts count towards the luxury tax. Feel like paying $68m of actual dollars to ohtani 10 years from now and just pay him $2m now per season? Fine, go ahead - but the luxury tax value for the years he plays under that contract need to be dollar for dollar (i.e., luxury tax amount is $70m, not the $38ish Million it currently is calculated to be. Force the Dodgers to have to pay the full luxury tax penalties real-time for the caliber of the roster they have on the field competing against everyone else. Oh, and also - if a team exceeds the luxury tax two consecutive seasons over any part of the previous 5 years, they arent able to bid on international pro players fees coming over from Japan/korea/elsewhere via the posting fee process. Also, TV money has to be shared across MLB - teams should not get built in revenue advantages via broadcast dollars simply by playing in a large city compared to a small one.
-
Glasnow can get a little wild, too - but yeah at some point the Brewers have to put some stress on the Dodger staff. Yamamoto has been on a good start/bad start roll for himself the last month and a half, and unfortunately that trend continued last night. When these starters are throwing strikes and commanding their stuff, only Skubal can be more dominant and even that is debatable
-
This Dodger team would sweep the 2018 Dodger team
-
They did that to the extent they felt comfortable financially with Yelich. Many other teams do it here and there, too. The difference for the Dodgers is they are a mammoth market with crazy revenue streams they dont need to share that dwarf even the Yankees, giving them zero concerns about what deferring a ton of money now means for their ability to put a dominant team on the field 10 seasons from now. Their TV deal and exposure to Asian markets are literally printing presses.
-
Its why teams are still willing to shell out $30+M bucks a year for a top of the rotation starter, even in today's game - you hope they stay healthy and you can lean on them in playoff series. The Dodgers have 4 of them.
-
Regular season is borderline meaningless to the Dodgers
-
Its only $2M now because the Dodger TV deal can allow them to easily afford paying him $68M a year for a decade after he retires and not bat an eye while they're paying the next generational talent in 2035.
-
Yelich may not even be on the Dodger playoff roster
-
The only weakness this Dodgers team when it's moderately healthy has is the bullpen. When their starters give them 7 innings plus, they really can hide that weakness and limit how much risk to actually have it cost them games - especially when their offense grinds through a pitching staff in a long series. If Sasaki throws strikes, that really leaves only a few outs other relievers need to get. I posted this early in this game thread - the four starters the Brewers will face in games 1-4 carry an AAV contract number that exceeds total team payrolls of nearly 2/3rds of MLB rosters. The Dodgers can easily afford this due to deferred money gymnastics knowing their TV deal gives them roughly $350M annually just because its LA. Baseball can be random in the postseason - but when it has to be crazy random to even give a different team a prayer in a 7 game series, the game loses. Thats where we are at right now with this Dodgers team. Brewers pen is toasted in multiple spots and it isnt even the end of game 2, and their offense isnt getting enough guys on base to make it matter.

He got thrown out for out #4 when he did go
-
Oof - that was smoked
-
Its not like they are turtling in any obvious way. They just arent as talented and the rest of MLB can say the same thing. They are down 1 run - about to turn the lineup over for the third time. I wish Yamamoto had 30 more pitches though. Bauers just missed...
-
Thank you for proving me wrong!
