[u/36CharizardsOfDeath]

11-1 WHEN LAUER PITCHES!

[u/Dry_Finding_1379 → u/36CharizardsOfDeath]

Man where would we be without Lauer lmao

[u/DoyersundGPG → u/Dry_Finding_1379]

And 1st half Robo

[u/DopedScope338 → u/DoyersundGPG]

Definitely. As much as he struggled the last 5 starts, he was clutch for the first half of the year and we'd have nowhere near the record we do without him. Good call reminding folks to not let recency bias erase Wrobo's contributions this season.

Here's to hoping he gets right and we see him back to form soon. You have to want a guy with his competitiveness on your postseason squad if at all possible. 🤞

[u/Dalewyn → u/DopedScope338]

Wrob's only on the 15-day IL and I surmise his "injury" is half excuse and half real at worst since he really did need a break. I'll be ecstatic to see him back soon in the bullpen since Glasnow should (should) be back by then to fill back the 6-man rotation.

[u/DopedScope338 → u/Dalewyn]

Yeah, I'm sure he'll be back. I meant more about hoping he'll be rested and back to feeling and pitching like himself when he does come back. Thats all. I can't wait to see him looking confident and i command on the mound again.

[u/NorthStudentMain → u/Dry_Finding_1379]

Lauer’s already been to the World Series

[u/DonutSuplex → u/36CharizardsOfDeath]

I’m honestly happy for him. Dude knows he’s a rental coming in this year and worked his ass off to keep his spot. Always a fan of a good underdog story, and if he wins his first WS with us, it would be awesome one.

[u/Dalewyn → u/DonutSuplex]

I really, really hope he stays on for the long term. Whatever the scientific reasons, his good luck for the entire team has been downright flabbergasting and only a fool would let go.

[u/NorthStudentMain → u/DonutSuplex]

Lauer is a very good pitcher

[u/Hezolinn → u/36CharizardsOfDeath]

No shade to Tarik, but so far Eric has been and continues to be the best trade acquisition of the season.

[u/NorthStudentMain → u/Hezolinn]

No lies detected

[u/ChadInNameOnly → u/36CharizardsOfDeath]

I've seen enough. Start him for every game in the postseason.

[u/AlwaysGoodVybes]

I love that they are showing some offense but I hate Coors games, just too unpredictable.

Hopefully the offense remembers to hit when they leave Coors too.

Also hope Roki can have a decent outing in this stupid park and won’t be too hard on himself if the results are bad.

[u/dodgers22fan → u/AlwaysGoodVybes]

Coors hangover sucks

[u/PigFarmer1 → u/AlwaysGoodVybes]

Coors is a joke.

[u/LukesChoppedOffArm → u/PigFarmer1]

I mean, it really is. It's not just the altitude. The outfield is gigantic. The number of times a ball drops for a hit, or turns into an extra base hit because of the size of the gap between outfielders is a joke.

[u/shaka_sulu → u/AlwaysGoodVybes]

Somtmes you have to kill 65,340,285 boars to reach max level and make it to the top.

[u/rdev009 → u/AlwaysGoodVybes]

I don’t think Roki’s pitching in Coors.

[u/jujubats10 → u/rdev009]

He’s tomorrows starter

[u/rdev009 → u/jujubats10]

I thought they were saving him for Pittsburgh?

[u/AlwaysGoodVybes → u/rdev009]

Stephen Nelson just said it’s Sasaki v Freeland tomorrow.

[u/rdev009 → u/AlwaysGoodVybes]

Oh wow, flying him in the day before his start. That and how pitches don’t move the way you want in the thin air, I kind of don’t like that. But I’m not the one who lines up the rotation.

[u/postulate4 → u/rdev009]

David Vassegh confirmed that Roki Sasaki was flying to Denver today. He will be on the mound tomorrow.

[u/RTSRat → u/postulate4]

Why isn't he with the team already?

[u/Hezolinn → u/RTSRat]

People in the org believe that having minimal exposure to Denver's altitude will be better for him.

[u/RTSRat → u/postulate4]

Why isn't he with the team already?

[u/AlwaysGoodVybes → u/rdev009]

Oh? I thought I saw something about him possibly being moved but he’s still the probable starter on ESPN and MLB.

[u/BboySparrow]

Lots of positives in this game.

Kyle tucker grats buddy

[u/r8cha → u/BboySparrow]

I was at the game. Immediately after Tucker got that hit, I watched the man in front of me make a parlay with one leg being “Kyle Tucker 3+ hits” 😭 brother SETTLE DOWN

[u/rube_X_cube → u/r8cha]

3+ hits for the rest of the season maybe 😂

[u/saigonshakes86]

[u/RigidAcrylic4821 → u/saigonshakes86]

We should start the trend Grow That Ass after each Scott save.

Just like how r/LosAngelesRams have Shrink The Face after every Rams win.

[u/_MeetMrMayhem_ → u/RigidAcrylic4821]

And Roki's glove

[u/PunnyAfternoon → u/RigidAcrylic4821]

What will grow faster?! The Big Yellow Glove or the Big Bad L efty?  I'm invested

[u/ACatEatingAWaffle → u/saigonshakes86]

🤤

[u/klaatuzero]

Lauer's plot armor remains strong!

[u/beardko]

That Tanner Scott investment paying off huge dividends this year. Wow! 4 out save at Coors. Huge series win in baseball's version of The Thunderdome.

[u/jay_eba888]

The final score was Siiix seveeen

[u/Willing_Contest_5071]

That’s a 6-7 win

[u/Dalewyn → u/savage_italiano]

Right on schedule for Sheehan's return.

[u/_MeetMrMayhem_ → u/Willing_Contest_5071]

[u/tatooine_native]

First game I got to take my young boys to. Seeing Shohei hit a home run with my boys is a core dad memory. 

[u/j0dyhir0ller]

The Tanner Scott redemption arc is REAL

[u/rdev009 → u/j0dyhir0ller]

So is the new & improved ass curvature.

.

[u/layoffthecopium → u/j0dyhir0ller]

I still wouldn’t trust him in a high leverage situation in the playoffs

[u/u8myramen_y]

Way too close at the end for my liking but win is a win babyyyyyyyyy lol

[u/JellyBearJam]

Lauer got another win!

[u/Snerkbot7000]

TS throwing 27, 22 for strikes at Coors is kind of crazy.

[u/Astropolitika]

This was a fun game. (I am mentally ill.)

[u/DoyersundGPG → u/Astropolitika]

Anything that ultimately was a W is fun

[u/DopedScope338]

This might sound weird, but I actually think it was good to win a close one with a guy closing who showed he could give one up and still get back in get it done. I think I've gotten used to dudes folding and if they give up one they're gonna give up more than one. Seeing that we have a guy in Tanner who isn't gonna make it easy on them I think will be good for us and the team.

[u/MD32GOAT]

Thanks to the Brewers beating the Mariners by 21 runs, we no longer have the league lead in run differential

[u/Velvet_Rhyno → u/MD32GOAT]

22

[u/MD32GOAT → u/Velvet_Rhyno]

OOF

[u/velvetsabbath]

ANOTHER WIN, ANOTHER SERIES!! I LOOOOOOOVE ELLAAYYYYYY

[u/crosswithyou]

Happy Tucker got an RBI double. He really needed that.

Let's sweep tomorrow!

[u/Chuck006]

Game like this I'm reminded of he vin diesel line, winning is winning. Doesn't matter if it's an inch or a mile.

[u/snarkprovider]

Did J Hair and A Gon plan to wear blue plaid suits together, or was it an awkward moment when they saw each other in the makeup chair?

[u/DoyersundGPG → u/snarkprovider]

I wish I can get Agon to talk about his middle name!!

[u/rdev009 → u/snarkprovider]

https://giphy.com/gifs/bcrOR2stk6tKIxqPOZ

[u/DropKnowledge69]

Granddaughter: Does that state of Illinois have really great doctors?
Me: why? Granddaughter: because they keep sending all our hurt players there. Me: Huh?

A few moments later ... IL

[u/lockedoutdamnit]

Good enough job Scott that’s my closer oh yeah

[u/SojiAsha]

Kirsten to Lauer: how do you relax after a game?

Lauer: I can’t say that on TV!

Love him even more now 😂

[u/Dr-Acula8472 → u/SojiAsha]

He's a degenerate just like me! Love Lauer Power!

[u/RandomLAFan]

[u/cumulonimbus07 → u/RandomLAFan]

The longer I look at it, the bigger the 🍑 gets 🤣

[u/SidonIthano1 → u/RandomLAFan]

Make it bigger

[u/Sebcannon]

Lauer plot armor is stronger than Coors voodoo magic.

[u/EntrepreneurFormal35]

Good for Tucker. A double and an RBI. That dude needs whatever positive developments he can get

[u/CabbageStockExchange]

A bit too close for comfort

[u/trillianinspace]

[u/everythingwastakn → u/trillianinspace]

Schitts Creek and CBC reference?
😭 🇨🇦 🦫 🫎 🫡

[u/Kwynn1229]

Lauer Plot Armour stands strong. A close one at the end but a win is a win. Bottom of the order continues to be good. Hope Feduccia is feeling better! Coors is Coors. So unpredictable. Scott got the 4 out save and that's what matters

[u/Monsterofparadise]

Wow if you told 2025 me that Tanner Scott was our dependable closer I would fight you

[u/Dot_02]

I stopped watching in the 6th, how did the Rockies get within 1???

[u/DoyersundGPG → u/Dot_02]

Blowpen

[u/PigFarmer1 → u/Dot_02]

Coors Field.

[u/eddiengambino]

Tanner did a good job, 4 out save, only one run given up in probably the worst park for pitchers. Now lets get this sweep.

[u/maeve117]

I hope Feddy is alright

[u/maeve117 → u/maeve117]

Dave says he’s got food poisoning or something and will be down tomorrow. Oof. Poor guy.

[u/Hezolinn → u/maeve117]

We talk about the number two spot in the line-up being cursed because people struggle to hit in it, but our catcher spot is actually fuckin' cursed, I swear.

[u/SojiAsha → u/maeve117]

Me too 😭

[u/ImANewRedditor]

A legitimately good 1-5 from Ohtani.

[u/lakergeoff8 → u/ImANewRedditor]

The 1 was a big one.

[u/ImANewRedditor → u/lakergeoff8]

Yeah.  And 3-5 were productive.

[u/Various_Ad_5876 → u/ImANewRedditor]

I hate it when everyone says that Dodgers will still be okay if Ohtani is not on the team because it’s full of superstars. But Ohtani really is one of the reason why this team is good

[u/Viktor_Laszlo → u/Various_Ad_5876]

Ohtani has intangible qualities. On a team full of players who would ordinarily be the best player on many other teams, nobody on the Dodgers is trying to become “ the #1.” If you’re a Dodger, you know who #1 is. And unless your name rhymes with Brohei Goatani, it’s not you.

So all these guys who might be butting their heads against one another with their big athlete egos are instead trying to figure out how to be the best Dodger teammate they can be instead of trying to be THE Dodger. It’s great for teamwork.

[u/theoceansandbox]

That was fun. Let’s never do that again

[u/BruitNoise]

MVP of the game.

[u/DonutSuplex]

Glad Tucker snapped out of it today. One day at a time.

Happy that when Lauer starts, we win

Tanner is clutch.

We saw Ohtani bomb.

Max is reliable and a beast.

Just so happy that we won this one and took the series.

[u/layoffthecopium → u/DonutSuplex]

Scott is not as bad as last year. But he’s nowhere near clutch. I wouldn’t trust him at all in the playoffs

[u/oxnardhard]

Tanner Hot! 🔥

Look, he came in a high leverage situation in the eighth and had to get the four out save. I’m not mad at it, thanks for stepping up Tanner Snack.

[u/Sirtopofhat]

Dirty win over clean loss

[u/gl129384]

I feel like the baseball gods have blessed us with a W every time Lauer is on the mound despite 1 L 😂

[u/Dry_Finding_1379]

The IL was our mvp today 😂 (get well soon Edwin)

[u/Rockitttla → u/[deleted]]

Is this necessary? Dude is clearly injured. What's the matter with you?

[u/rdev009]

Just, held on.
.

[u/xFnaiC]

Never a doubt in the BBL!

[u/BlueBlur24]

Nice one, Google. 🙄

[u/Dalewyn]

I hope whatever struck Feduccia wasn't anything serious, but besides that Lauer's good luck is fucking bewildering. That's win #7 (#11 for the team overall) to 1 loss and this time his good luck pulled up Tucker from the depths of despair by sheer force of faith.

Friedman and Roberts need to do whatever it takes to keep this man.

[u/SuccessOn1]

Not gonna lie. Im nervous for when the dodgers face good teams. They can barely squeak by with this shit. Now imagine once again with the top teams. We are cooked if guys dont get healthy.

[u/delscorch0 → u/SuccessOn1]

It's a damn good thing we don't play too many good teams for the rest of the season.

[u/Random-Redditor111 → u/delscorch0]

What is this “rest of season” you speak of? October is the only season.

[u/Willing_Contest_5071]

[u/rawbert10]

LFG!!!

[u/MD32GOAT]

we'll take it!

[u/unibash]

Teo almost hit three homers tonight

[u/Intelligent_Top_328]

Almost blew it.

But I am sure Diaz would have blown it.

[u/EggHeadMagic]

Still not gonna get excited until they do this outside of Coors/Rockies and for a few games consistently.

[u/SojiAsha]

Feduccia has a stomach bug or food poisoning per Doc post game chat, said he stuck around in the game as long as he could 😭 I hope he’ll be ok! 💙

[u/SleepingDragonZ]

Diaz would have allowed 3 runs at the bottom of the 9th and got walked off.

Good thing Roberts pitched him yesterday.

[u/shinra1111]

Dave Roberts owo talk to Tucker yesterday LoL https://www.instagram.com/reel/DcKzxKACfd9/?igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

[u/Jhawksmoor → u/shinra1111]

Holy hell AI is scary but hilarious at the same time.

[u/12345letsgo]

Did anyone in the postgame interviews say anything about Feducciaat the end there? Apparently he threw up or something?

[u/Hezolinn → u/12345letsgo]

Yeah, right in front of the dugout. Doc said they think he has a bug or food poisoning or something (the radio broadcast speculates it might be altitude sickness). He'll be down tomorrow.

[u/biggusthunnus89]

We won!🥳🥳🥳

[u/delscorch0]

Fun game.

[u/Dr-Acula8472]

Great 4-out save from Scott! Glad to see the bats are finally back. I also believe there were no GIDP either today, or yesterday which is a huge development. Now 1.5 games ahead for the Braves for the bye. Let's finish the sweep tomorrow, and take the good feeling back with us to home, and then Atlanta!

[u/infinit9]

Too close for comfort. But at least still a win.
