@TeoEnjoyer It’s nationals throwing batting practice. Also why does his performance depend on how Ohtani is doing? Shouldn’t he “step up” and play well all the time?
@TeoEnjoyer Dodgers fans don’t realize how much ohtani saved them. Does their beloved Freddie even has a chance to play in ws 2024 if ohtani didn’t lead them to beat padres in nlds?
@Lorey082@brownsonjacob2 If they want ohtani to pitch game 4 they should’ve taken him out of game 3 earlier like the jays did for their hitters. Also why push Ohtani into 7th inning when he was clearly exhausted, offense didn’t do anything and roberts punted game by bringing in Banda and Trienen?
@Lorey082@brownsonjacob2 After 18 innings game 3 Ohtani needed medical ivs but roberts made him pitch the very next day into 7th inning, and in game 7 left him in 3rd inning when everyone watching saw ohtani just didn’t have it and was lucky to get out base loaded jam earlier.
@katiejwoo The only thing last night was a good example of is the idiocy of Dave Roberts and the historic baseball he has stolen from fans across the world. All you have to do is watch 2021-2023 Ohtani and know that there is no need for “concessions” and he plays best pitching AND hitting.
@buzztrain975864@maddie_m_lee Yes it annoys me to no end. I get respecting the manager and being selfless/team first but for god’s sake sometimes you have to advocate for yourself if they’re being incompetent!
@buzztrain975864@maddie_m_lee Because Freeman would never allow him. Shohei willingly gives up his power and agency in these decisions even though he’s the fucking face of this franchise.
@TylerKepner Also dont get me started on his stubborn/irrational use of Blake Treinen. Treinen was brilliant in 2024 postseason but 2025 treinen was one of the worst relievers. And roberts continued use of treinen (one of “his guys”) would’ve lost them nlds if Roki didn’t bail him out.
@TylerKepner He almost lost the World Series when he left shohei in for the third inning when everyone watching saw shohei clearly didn’t have it from the beginning and was lucky to get out second inning scoreless with bases loaded. How is that a masterclass?
