Passionate about talking about Dodgers, baseball, and pitching!

I love debating baseball!

Not a Reporter (will overreact its fun)

[Honestly Jake @Honestly_Jake]

Down 3-1 against the Braves in 2020
Down 2-1 against the Padres in 2024
Down 3-2 against the Blue Jays in 2025

I’m feeling down just like the rest of you. But it’s not over.

The Brewers vs Rays World Series is gonna have slightly higher ratings than Rangers vs Dbacks just due to the increased interest in the sport… which is due to Shohei and the Dodgers.

Still, MLB’s worst case scenario right before the lockout.

[Honestly Jake @Honestly_Jake]

Rays in 6 Brewers can’t handle the media attention

Jacob Misiorowski on what Pokémon energy he's bringing to Game 1 of the World Series:

"Definitely the flame energy. What's Charizard's signature move? Fireball. Bring some fireball. I'm going to be ready."

[Honestly Jake @Honestly_Jake]

Rays just won their first chip crazy

Update from the #Brewers on the Timeless Ticket situation. #MLB #WorldSeries

[Honestly Jake @Honestly_Jake]

If only we had a salary cap, fans would be treated better smh... Those poor owners.

[Novig @Novig]

🚨 BREAKING:

Two brothers who paid $1,000 EACH for Milwaukee Brewers "Timeless Tickets" over a decade ago are now accusing the team of NOT honoring its original promise.

Back in 2014, the Brewers sold tickets that never expired and could be redeemed for any future home game, including the World Series.

The brothers held onto their tickets for over a DECADE, waiting for Milwaukee to reach the World Series.

Now that the moment has finally arrived, they say the Brewers are only offering terrace-level seats or standing-room-only tickets instead of the best available seats they believed were promised.

To make matters worse, the brothers say the tickets being offered are worth LESS than the $1,000 they originally paid.

WILD.

[Honestly Jake @Honestly_Jake]

@rhynotakes They’ll probably do a better job than us

[Honestly Jake @Honestly_Jake]

Pirates owner is scared of paying Paul Skenes ARB years and apparently that’s the Dodgers fault according to Pirates fans…

[Punchoutpitch @Punchoutpitch]

Paul Skenes salary will be out of the Pirates comfort zone after next season and he will likely be playing somewhere else in 2028, per @JPerrotto

86 MPH exit velo and it went to the track.

If anything the balls were juiced

[drx | #FIREMATTINGLY @totallydrx]

Manfred was giving us dead balls

[Honestly Jake @Honestly_Jake]

@a_nameless_p Thank you 🙏

[Honestly Jake @Honestly_Jake]

Random twitter account says something but since it’s Japanese everyone over here has no idea they have trolls as well and takes it seriously.

Guys do your reading please.

[Baseball Bros @BaseballBros]

BREAKING:

Bombshell thread from Japan-based baseball account explains why "the common consensus" among Japanese baseball fans is that Shohei Ohtani has been using PEDs since a 2020 slump and only recently cycled off in anticipation of playing in the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.

[Honestly Jake @Honestly_Jake]

@Buzztrain2Alt Doesn't mean I don't love those guys, they're incredible all time Dodgers. Shohei still has prime years left, but Mookie is gonna be 35 this time next year, he's approaching the cliff performance wise and that's okay.

His career was incredible and im grateful hes a dodger

[Honestly Jake @Honestly_Jake]

That inning showed the dynasty ending.

Andy Pages succeeded.

Mookie and Shohei failed

[Honestly Jake @Honestly_Jake]

@Gardener196 Teo traded, Call idc maybe bench maybe gone.

Edman backup / UTL letting others take days off playing all over

[Honestly Jake @Honestly_Jake]

@StonKold It’s gonna be a real sad awakening when one of two things happen.

Either there is a salary cap and the Dodgers contracts already on the books are grandfathered in and everyone calls it cheating.

Or

There is no cap because my gosh look at the teams left…

[Honestly Jake @Honestly_Jake]

2027 Dodgers

DH: Ohtani
SS: De La Cruz
RF: Tucker
CF: Pages
LF: De Paula
2B: Betts
1B: Freeman
3B: Rushing / Muncy
C: Smith / Rushing

Bench will have some new faces, Freeland is involved, some other young guys and some reclamations. No Enrique or Rojas.

[Honestly Jake @Honestly_Jake]

@NunchuckKen I’d agree and depending on performance you just switch the lineup around midway through the season.

I also could see him as a leadoff hitter since the OBP is so good

[Honestly Jake @Honestly_Jake]

@Dodgers Not even mad... first time we've all seen this in a while.

Amazing run guys, go get younger and healthy and start a new dynasty next year!

[Honestly Jake @Honestly_Jake]

@NoahOrtega101 The reason is their age... Muncy will be 37 this time next year. Freddie will be 38.

They will continue to decline, even if they still had good seasons this year. Father time is undefeated. I love those guys and hope we can win one more ring next year to send them off.

[Honestly Jake @Honestly_Jake]

Next year is probably Muncy and Freeman’s last years as well.

The real rebuild really happens in 2028, but the beginning is now.

[Honestly Jake @Honestly_Jake]

Mookie so old he’s not even on the graphic RIP…

[Honestly Jake @Honestly_Jake]

@Mfld_Turnip Tommy isn’t really in my future plans for this squad outside of being a backup and UTL guy. He can’t really hit

[Honestly Jake @Honestly_Jake]

Not trying to say he should move back to the OF, that would be stupid. But giving him more off days like a catcher would + moving him to 2B might help offensively come October as he ages.

[Honestly Jake @Honestly_Jake]

What’s interesting is the two seasons he’s really shown up in October (2020/2024), are the only two seasons he’s played less than 120 games in.

There is clearly some type of fatigue he builds up and it affects his offense.

Also interesting he was playing RF in both.

[Jacob @AndThatsBB]

Mookie Betts has 4 rings despite these postseason stats (entering today):
451 PA
98 wRC+
-0.25 WPA
-10.3% cWPA
.667 OPS in the World Series

Luckiest superstar in MLB history?
