Too bad we traded him for a half eaten ham sandwich without ham

Verdugo is killing it in his wiffle ball league this year

Wong and Narvi carried the staff for TWO years.
Oh yay, a double every 3rd day.
We lost everything when narvi went away and wong stopped holding the relief down.

Pitchers figured Narvy out and he never adjusted. cant hit shit anymore.

HIS PITCHERS HAD HIM AS THEIR GUY.
JFC.
The pitchers HE CAUGHT had a .171 BA against.He hit 51 points higher than whatvhe called.

u/Flock_Me_Amadeus 3d ago
But your argument is that they hit doubles a lot, which was really not the case this season. Narvy couldnt hit at all

Adley had 13 RBI in 31 games and. .61 higher average against while catching, which carrys more weight.

u/Flock_Me_Amadeus 2d ago
Adley was also injured. it's not a fair comparison.

Sooo we traded 3 prospects, broken shortstop, and aptbnl for…
A hurt Catcher and a healthy catcher who we promptly sent to Chicago
A second baseman (our 5th…) who got hurt
A speedy outfielder (our, sixth?) who got hurt.
And then we went 30-24 after going TWENTY SEVEN AND SEVEN.
Yeah great job, we didnt miss narvi at all chemistry wasn’t affected a bit /s
OH AND A PITCHER WHO SHIT EVERY BED HE COULD FIND FOR THE LAST 10 GAMES.

No it is not, at all.
Argument is that his replacement hits doubles, occasionally. While the ERA went up .50.
We fucked up, by trading away the best friend of the pitching staff and the rest of the team.

u/WHONOONEELECTED 3d ago
.50 doesnt seem like a lot, until you realize that we basically lost by one run in all, but one of the games that we needed to win to not play the Yankees, and even the Yankees games, all but one.

It hurt then but it gave us the financial flexibility to sign Freddie Freeman, Shohei Ohtani, and Yoshinobu Yamamoto so wouldn't you call that a w... wait a minute...

God that trade still stings. I was at work when notification came through and my buddy thought someone died the way I reacted
Verdugo had his moments I guess but watching Mookie in another uniform just feels wrong every single time. At least we got some good years before they shipped him off
Miss that guy doing the bowling celebration after big hits

It’s hard to root against Mookie, Dave Roberts and Kiké, but the Dodgers ownership makes it happen.

Hernandez too! There’s a lot of likable players on this team, too bad I can’t root for them

Fun fact: you can’t use Enrique’s common nickname or the post gets automatically removed!

Does using the accent help? I know it’s a Jewish slur without it.

u/GoodOver5645 3d ago
I wondered the same thing but don’t think I know how to do an accent-e.

u/Licky_Anus First Ballot Hall of Famer Mickey Gasper 3d ago
I don’t know about Android, but on my iPhone you just hold down the “e” until options with accents come up.
Edit: just checked and my other comment in the thread where I used the accent hasn’t been removed.

...but the Dodgers could only afford them because Mark Walter was committing financial fraud.

The Dodgers aren’t the lakers or the Yankees 🤷. Also, can’t be mad at Mookie, we traded him, and he did everything for us. Not to mention all the other Red Sox guys on the team.

u/dogmeowscatbarks 2d ago
Mookie, Devers, Bregman, Bogarts, Chris Sale, Nate Evoldi. We are doomed rooting for this team

u/toxchick 3d ago
Yes, but really love Miz and Sal Frelich is from my town (Lexington) and BC. Is such a small thing but the fact that Skubal took the espresso machine with him to LA when he got traded from Detroit just seems petty AF and makes me dislike him. Fuck the dodgers. Brewers vs Rays pls and thank you

Fuck the Dodgers. But I do miss Mookie
