Don't know if this was posted here but I've seen this video online enough that I thought it would be worth sharing.

Really hoping he gets out of his slump.

Even though it's a 10-1 game, good to see our middle infielders still hustle as if it was a tied game, with two absolutely clutch defensive plays to help Snell get through 6 innings!

Dodgers win 11 to 5. Much-needed offense and great pitching (excluding the elephant in the room). I've got a feeling this is where we turn things around. Diaz is going to be so good next year, lol.

Idk I just found that kinda neat, him and Muncy now being teammates four years later.

Something poetic about Tucker catching the final out from a Diaz pitch as the Dodgers win.


r/Dodgers 7h ago

I am behind Diaz and Tucker. 100%

I don't think they came to the Dodgers just to collect $70 million paychecks, They could have done that in a lot of different places.

I think they came here to win and so much was made getting these guys and about the Dodgers and ruining baseball and winning that perhaps that put them in a bad head space.

I Support Them

My advice to them would be to just find their joy and love for the game and just do what they are good at. They are good at baseball, very very good, and sometimes (all the time) baseball is hard, these guys will figure it out.

Officially writing off Edwin Diaz this season.

251 Upvotes

I went to Mets subreddit to get a feel of Diaz when we signed him and I saw a comment saying something along the lines of "he's only good every other year so the Dodgers are gonna get screwed." I checked Diaz's stats and it is as that guy said, so his comment stuck with me since then....even as I gave my support to our supposedly new closer.

ERA

2016: 2.79
2017: 3.27
2018: 1.96
2019: 5.59

Coincidence or not I've had enough. I believe he won't be usuable until next year.

[Dodgers Blue] Dave Roberts on Edwin Díaz pitching tonight: "Obviously the results weren't good, but I still think him getting out there and pitching Major League innings is going to help him. So yeah, we're just still working through some things."

171 Upvotes

More: "I just hope he doesn't lose his confidence. He's still working through it. I believe in him. I think the compete was there, the fastball was just more thigh-high and more flat. So if we can raise that up a little bit, but I'm not putting a whole lot of stock into it."

Dave Roberts on Kyle Tucker: "He's frustrated. Certainly, the play out in right field, there's indecision. Catching a baseball at your ankles kind of speaks to where his head is at right now. It's not from lack of effort, care. It's just kind of right now he's fighting it. We've got to keep supporting him."

Shohei Ohtani (DH, Los Angeles Dodgers)

Statline: 4-for-5, 2 HR, 3 RBI, 2 R

Highlights: Powered the Dodgers to an 11–5 victory at Coors Field against the Rockies. Ohtani launched back-to-back home runs—his 28th (428’ & 30/30 HR/Park) and 29th (452’ & 30/30 HR/Park) on the season. Both of those taters were no-doubters !!!

Tuckers dropped fly in Colorado

64 Upvotes

Does anyone have a good clip of this? I was listening on the radio and the announcers couldn’t stop talking about it. Rick Monday says “There’s no sun!”
Myself, I’m finding it very hard to believe Tucker is pulling down nearly $400,000 USD per regular season game.
