    ^(_🌭 have no value except for bragging rights._)

  2. Dave and I talked, and we decided today’s game plan would be to score more runs than the other team.

  3. I dunno if it’s legal, but I would be so happy if we could trade JHair and that rug he wears off the broadcast team.

    His trade deadline commentary is something special.

  4. Muncy is finally over the Mendoza line, just in time for his bobble head night. 🥰

  5. I love Kiké and I’m happy to have him back but I hope we can help him rediscover his swing because his stats aren’t great. Aside from that, ITFDB BABY!

  6. If I had a nickel for every Giants fans I saw at todays game, I’d have two.

    Which isn’t a lot. But it’s weird that it’s happened twice

  7. Dodgers GM Brandon Gomes after the Kiké Hernández trade: “This doesn’t preclude us from exploring other right-handed bats. Because of the versatility (Hernández brings), it leaves us the flexibility to go out and see what’s available and kind of assess our options.”

  8. Do the dodgers purposely pick Julio starts for the city connect jerseys or is it just coincidence?

  9. Are Dontrelles’s grillz a new thing? I was hyped to see him wearing them during that pregame.

  10. Play ball! To facilitate discussion in this thread, new submissions will be hidden until after the end of the game.

  11. Already had one heart attack today with the Halos game. Manifesting a nice, clean Dodger victory 🙂

  12. Kiké’s defense has fallen off hard this season. -7.6 defensive value on fangraphs. Sprint speed is down a bit, but yeah, those overall defensive numbers are awful.

  13. Sigh. First inning Julio is back. Let’s hope he can limit the damage and it doesn’t continue past the first.

  14. Urias definitely on the struggle bus this season. Just hope he’ll be an ace in the post season.

  15. First-inning Julio.

    Seriously, start using an opener for him until he’s fully back to health.

  16. Urias and the 1st inning don’t mix well. Might need a relief pitcher to start the game and have Urias enter the 2nd.

  17. HOT TAKE…

    Julio is just sucking on purpose to he can stay with the dodgers for cheap!

  18. It’s wild that if he holds them to one that his first inning ERA will go down.
