  1. Ngl, I’m glad we have deGrom and Bassitt pitching the next two. Just gotta show some bat this game

  2. Lindor 0-19 now. Anyone who’s watching the actual games knows this dude keeps missing homeruns not by much every game

  3. How’d we score the 2nd run? I’m also a bit behind because there’s a storm taking out our satellite reception.

  4. I’ve never seen a team so blind against fastballs I mean honestly what are we doing here

  5. Pete might as well not come back out after that AB geez… stop swinging for Dodger stadium and just rip it down the line holy shit

  6. Pete’s complete inability to hit an elevated fastball, especially inside, is becoming a big problem for him.

  7. As a fan of pitching, Heaney’s fastball is a pleasure to watch.

    Great spin on it to keep it high up in the zone, elevating it gets a TON of those exact swing and misses from power bats.

    Yeah, it sucks to see us look bad, but that is an electric pitch right now up in the zone. Hitters just expect it to be lower.

  8. Pete just struck out on the same fastball 3 times in the same exact spot what the hell

  9. Alonso looks lost, I know we’re in a pennant race but he might benefit from a scheduled day off at some point.

  10. Alright walker let’s keep this game close please. Buck take his ass out if he has a melt down

  11. Dodgers fan here in PEACE, this game and series will be good whether win or lose. Have a good rest of day! 😃

  12. Does Heaney just have the most deceptive fastball of all time or what? He’s not exactly throwing hard

  13. Is everyone in agreement that Taijuan Walker is a big problem. His second half numbers last yr and this yr are ABYSMAL

    I don’t want him back next year

  14. I don’t think the score 1, give up 3, score 1 routine is gonna be sustainable tonight

  15. The speed at which some of You turn on Pete and Lindor is astonishing.

    You think Willie Mays and Tony Gwynn never had 0-20 stretches?

  16. I don’t understand how they haven’t realized what is going on. If you bat right, it’s a fastball up and in with a slider at the ankle. If you bat left, it’s a slider on the corner and a fastball up. Fucking adjust

  17. How does a guy with a career 4.55 ERA suddenly start pitching to a sub-2.00 ERA 9 years into his career? I swear, the Dodgers find 2-3 guys like this every season

  18. Pete looked desperate for a hit. He didn’t care about what happened after contact, he just wanted the hit.

    Not scared, just concerned

  19. Lindor is hitting too many fly outs and Citi Field isn’t being kind to him. Pete is striking out.

    We need these guys to hit because they’re the strongest part of our lineup and we’re hearing crickets.

  20. That runner at third n9 outs is the difference in the game. Walkwr needs a quick inning here
