1. Just cause everyone saying in the media it’s impossible to repeat doesn’t mean it can’t happen. Seems like everyone is going that route. If that’s the case I got the Dodgers to repeat! 😎

2. Dodgers are deffently winning world series unless half they team gets hurt

3. They just be hating come on now every team can do this

4. Dodgers will repeat, and with the best season record in the Modern era record for Wins, runs and pitching staff lol my 2cents

5. HOW CAN YOU RUIN BASEBALL OR ANYTHING ELSE WHEN YOU ARE PERFORMING
   YOUR JOB WITH EXCELLENCE____DODGERS HAVE SET THE STANDARD OF
   EXCELLENCE THAT "EVERYBODY" NEED TO UP THEIR GAME.
   (everybody don't get a just participating trophy)

6. 2017 Dodgers 💙. They paved the way.

7. The Dodgers will win Back 2 Back WS Championships !! Best Team Ever ! I love my Boys In Blue ! 💙💙🧢🧢

8. The Padres shouldn’t be angry at the Dodgers. They should be mad at their ownership for creating inner turmoil and uncertainty. They should be mildly angry at AJ Preller for not spending money as wisely as the Dodgers FO. Who exactly were the Padres bidding against when they gave Bogaerts +$250M?

9. Dodgers are not ruining baseball, people are just hating.

10. I missed the unwritten rule where a team has to stop trying after winning a ring and think about other team's fans' feelings 😂

11. Let’s call it what it is. People have DDS- dodger derangement syndrome. The old saying “We could cure cancer Tomorrow and they’d still find a reason to complain” lets the haters hate. We did things the right way

12. McCullough trying to make it seem like it was a genius move Roberts decision to lose a game. No, thats who Roberts is. He makes bonehead decisions, but bc he has a stacked roster, he gets saved by them. He was one game away from getting bounced in the first round of the playoffs againg.
    If Dodgers really wanted to guarantee a World Series win they would trade for a defensive wizard in centerfield, like a Brenton Doyle from the Rockies. Edman is good but he cant make those highlight plays. You move Betts to second base and play Rojas/Edman at short. You play Will Smith more at the corners to give him more time off bc second half he falls off a cliff offensively. And lastly, you get a more aggressive manager. Roberts doesnt have that killer instinct. Need more a of Chase Utley type

13. People on social media believe in santa Claus

14. Great interview, thanks Jeff!

15. This channel is gold.

16. Dodgers have the best scouts in MLB…period.

17. Trash teams like astro ,redsox, cubs never spend money.. just streal baseball. Astro and redsox manager

18. I cringe whenever I hear Frank McCourt's name, because of the Dodger income he and his wife spent on themselves. Thank goodness for the Guggenheim group! (And Shohei Ohtani!)

19. Friedman and the Dodgers played this too perfectly. The organization is just so good. Too good for the rest of the league. So the league is going to do something about it. Let’s enjoy this time while we still have it.

20. andy are those welding glasses?

21. “Bad for baseball.” —👶🏼

22. Snell will be on his way out when Skens is on his way in 🤣🤣

23. I disagree that fans are haters in 2025. Just because the people that suddenly became fans of the padres after they spent a billion dollars in one offseason are so loud and hyper focused on the dodgers. The dozens of fans before that offseason are much better behaved and rational online

24. Dodgers lost over 1.5 billion in salary for guys they had who became free agents. Turner, Seager and machado alone is a billion. Plus guys like belly, max, jt, joc kenley and so on.

25. Everyone seems to forget that the Dodgers made a commitment to Shohei Otani if he deferred his money that would allow them to get players to fulfill, reaching the World Series

26. When you have smart business minded people as owners and they hire smart administration that trickles down to making the best decisions of producing the best team possible

27. It’s not really on the Dodgers, it’s on the league for allowing this to happen. If the Yankees thought of it first they would have done it. But it’s a real problem they’ll have to address. As a several decades long Giants fan I prioritized watching Giants – Dodgers matchups. I’ve gone from concerned, to frustrated, to disbelief, to apathy. No one wants to go to a game they know their team is pre-determined to lose. Pro sports are never supposed to be this slanted. The Dodgers were in position to take advantage of a loophole, can’t blame them, that will probably be a brief period in MLB history as other apathetic fans stop going to regular season matchups against the Dodgers. Enjoy it while you can Dodgers fans, this will be addressed sooner rather than later.
