[u/SneekySinper17]

Went to visit the in-laws today in El Monte and they don’t have A/C and I told my wife, if I’m going to roast, I’m going to roast at Dodger Stadium. Grabbed my Father in law and got cheap tickets. LFG DODGERS

[u/AuGa_skittles]

Kyle Tucker has already matched PCA’s postseason production

[u/_MeetMrMayhem_]

[u/jmike1256]

Fking ump changed everything in this inning

[u/jujubats10]

Not only was it gone. That was a fucking bomb. Career highlight reel type shit

[u/beta_zero]

Love seeing a hyped up Tuck!

Gotta love Teo upping his HR pimping game this time of year

[u/MLBOfficial]

https://reddit.com/link/pdoqjud/video/xp0tmy64jbth1/player

Teo's 2-run shot!

[u/CaterpillarNo7848]

even tho tuck not going crazy dudes hustle confidence and overall vibe changed from last month

[u/Walking_Meatloaf]

Kyle Tucker is now perfect for steals in the post season in 2026

[u/Arrozitocorazon]

Ngl. Tucker’s slide to steal 2nd was very smooth :)

[u/j0dyhir0ller]

Shohei and Freddie WILL go yard at some point this series. Book it.

[u/Atraktape]

Shohei making contact so far at least.

[u/_MeetMrMayhem_]

It's so hot in LA right now the tortas stayed home

[u/probablysmellsmydog]

People mad that Shohei is swinging at pitches in the zone and not hunting walks are funny.  It’s Shohei fucking Ohtani.  

[u/Ok_Fish285]

TY SKOOB FOR 6 EXCELLENT INNINGS

[u/j0dyhir0ller → u/Ok_Fish285]

He looks like a fuckin psychopath. I love it

[u/Hot-Gas-7246]

Tuckers HR is so much more important than the runs on the board…. The confidence and positive energy that will carry on throughout the playoffs is priceless. 

[u/__-o0O0o-__-o0O0o-__]

ok, this is the version of Doc I can get behind

[u/SuperRam56]

Teoscar Hernandez: Player of the game.

[u/Lacktastic]

2 outs, nobody on… selfish ass challenge that was nowhere close.

[u/Adept-Young-7103]

i love how long teo stood there admiring his bomb hahahaha BEAUTIFULLLL

[u/lucylugosiz]

Skub relieved as heck !

[u/MyAggressiveFinger]

Tucker actually looked happy crossing home. I am getting good vibes

[u/xSwazyI]

Teoscar is so so hard to evaluate man cause he shows up October he just grinds your nerves all the other months 😂 he's perfect for us tho cause all we care about is October

[u/RandomMiddleName]

Tucker checking his phone to see if Reddit finally likes him

[u/jujubats10]

Dave, I know the thought is starting to cross your mind….

I promise you that Edwin Diaz does not need to come into this game

[u/DoctorK96]

Skubal just so happy he's on a good team lol

[u/OkEnergy6233]

[u/No_Assignment1683]

my heart is in my ass god can this be over pls

[u/norrisrw]

I'm at work until 2:00-ish, but I have my freshly cleaned jersey on standby the moment I clock out.

[u/Low_Rough_5203]

[u/Kevin1000000]

Pages has a problem but the fact that management hasn’t just told him “no, not you, ever” is a bigger issue.

[u/OkEnergy6233]

[u/ghosteffy]

I’ve seen enough. Re-sign him in between innings

[u/OkEnergy6233]

[u/WeedSexBeerPizza]

Ruining baseball is so much fun.

[u/mulemargarine]

lmao r/baseball is filled the the brim with miserable pathetic losers.

[u/Atraktape]

There's always tomorrow Andy keep your head up homie. Stop challenging tho.

[u/SkyboroughKnowsRose]

I 💙 LA 🥹

[u/Clt-vr-9931]

DODGERS WIN AND TAKE GAME ONE

[u/brok3nstatues]

a nice cool 104° in october

[u/cattycat_1995]

/r/baseball talking shit about Dodgers fans cause of empty seats in the first inning never mind that the Dodgers absolutely oblierated the other 29 teams in attendance for like the last 15 years in a row

[u/everythingwastakn]

Stop fucking challenging in the second fucking inning with no one on. What the fuck

[u/KingPoIo]

I genuinely hope Pages gets an earful from this. Deadass no more challenges until Doc tells him he has the green light for that specific AB. What a fucking dumb ass

[u/CheesyPoofzzz]

NOW THATS A ROAR

[u/jmike1256]

STILL A QUALITY START BY SKUBAL!!!! HECK OF A JOB IN THIS HEAT!!!!

[u/_MeetMrMayhem_]

He ready..

5:00am game time! Ohayo gozaimasu from Yama-SASA-tani Land! がんばれドジャース！Let's go BLUE! The ROAD TO 11 WINS BEGINS TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[u/Normal_Cash_5315]

Already more than Pca

[u/JetpackingPenguin]

This ump is the Playoff PCA of umps

[u/KingPoIo]

WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU CHALLENGING A PITCH WITH NO ONE ON WITH 2 OUTS LMFAO

[u/Clt-vr-9931]

FIND. A HOLE FOR A SINGLE

[u/lasercupcakes]

I remember defending Teo earlier this season, I prayed for days like these

Fucking bandwagoning Teo hating HOESSSSS

[u/commie90]

The ‘bench Teo’ crowd is real quiet right now.

[u/Clt-vr-9931]

TUCK STEAL

[u/Neptune_Diamond_Rain]

I honestly had no idea the White Sox already played. WTF is this schedule?

[u/_MeetMrMayhem_]

[u/Moocow2888]

[u/weguccino]

i like this, doc taking no chances

[u/Live-Tank-355]

I'm sure Tanner Scott hates those 2 runs given up more than we do. Just gotta own it and do better next time

[u/jujubats10]

As a society, we just need to agree to stop letting the guardians into the postseason.

They’re just so uninteresting and always lay an egg

[u/S05E14]

My plates came in today! Hoping this is a good sign.

[u/ximstuckx]

This ump is already horrible and we’re still in the first inning

[u/velvetsabbath]

ANOTHER SCORELESS INNING FROM TARIK SKUBAL

[u/tobethePK]

Pages challenging that call but Betts not challenging his for a leadoff walk to start the ballgame is so Dodgers coded

[u/duhpree]

Who gave Pages the ok to challenge?

[u/OkEnergy6233]

[u/Clt-vr-9931]

MR.SEED HAS PLANTED HIS ROOTS

[u/MokiKim]

Yay Teo! And grateful that Freddie can just jog around the bases!

[u/LincolnsLawyer]

Death taxes and postseason Teo bombs

One of these days, those fly balls from Ohtani are going to homers.

[u/probablysmellsmydog]

It’s just mind boggling that he can’t get any swing and miss.  It’s always outs on contact.  

[u/whatevs_9]

Dave not playing around. It’s Post Season Dave!

[u/Glum-Car3089]

From here on out Roki has to be our closer

[u/SnatchThatGravyUp]

More stressful than I would’ve liked for game 1 but I’ll take it

[u/xHao1]

Do you think the dodgers can do it with five days off?

[u/Clt-vr-9931]

From an east coast dodgers fan are you guys ok?

[u/Vespene]

[u/JCR2201]

Ray are better than the Yankees. Laughable take by Jeter and A Rod

[u/beta_zero]

Please, Fox... anyone but Ken Rosenthal

[u/ChadInNameOnly]

I don't blame Mookie for not going for the challenge. It was super low leverage, and if he had gotten it wrong it would have been absolutely terrible. And fortunately it didn't end up mattering anyway.

[u/Dr-Acula8472]

That's why Mookie didn't challenge. If he loses the challenge, Smith doesn't challenge there.

[u/New_Championship_912]

Selfish challenge 

[u/Jhawksmoor]

If that was Tucker missing that, this thread would have crucified him.

[u/brees2me]

Damn! Good hit but right at Albies.

The rough part about doing coke when Vesia comes on is that the game is over in a few outs and then I’m just up doing more cocaine to not be asleep for the start of the next game. These playoffs take a little something out of all of us

He did it…. He fucking did it. I was willing to give him the benefit of the doubt , like he can’t possibly be that dumb to do this in the playoffs

[u/dreamlater]

roberts said he had one rule n he broke the rule right away 😭😭

[u/Extension-Click-8271]

Is it an Andy problem or a coaching problem? Are they not communicating to him when he should/shouldn’t be challenging?

2 outs no runners on in the 2nd inning, there is ZERO FUCKING LEVERAGE BRO
