You could tell Vince couldn't wait for Jeff to stop talking in the beginning

That's right Jeff, we DON'T have to listen! But we do because you guys are great !😉 (I can never figure out how to get the live broadcast right after the games !)

Not confident in Jason Heyward’s ability to bunt? I’m not confident enough in Heyward’s ability to get a hit!

It helps to face an offense in the Mets that looks like extras in a Walking Dead episode

Does anyone ever do a double take when the diction on the letter 'b' makes it sound like Locked On Dodgers is brought to you by "Ippei Motors" ?

Great to see, in the end it’s all about situational hitting and contributions from everybody. Freeman getting back on track, 6-9 hitting, great to see

Pls get rid of that other bs after a gm! I want to hear you guys, not some other nonsense

Chris Taylor is worth holding onto just for implementing small ball into the Dodgers offensive game 🎮 plan!!!

Goatani turns to little sheep today.

Shohei is defnitely in a slump, hope things will turn around quickly for him

Let's get hot now 🔥

Man I hate the Dodgers, but we fans all share our hate for Angel. Worst ump ever. I share in your joy he is retiring. Go Padres!

This guy just didn't seem to take his job seriously.

Yaahoooo! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Outman has to be tearing it up down in OKC to even be considered for a call up.

I heard a comment today from Bruce Bochy after he lost his first world series and then won his first world series. The difference was a sense of urgency. They had to be all in and not care about hurting anyone's feelings. So I don't care if they hurt Chris Taylor's feelings. Or Lux. Or Kershaw. Or if Freeman has to sit a game. All in means All in.

Thank God hit the road Jack

this is baseball. Enjoy the downs and be ready to explode in exitement when this team circles the wagons and steps up, from players to front office. Romantically, you would think for the fans...but this time its for the best baseball player in the world. They cant let him down. I am not worried. I like this team's chancesl to achieve complete game potential and go deeper in the post. Go dodgers.

Oh I forgot about this other one: In my case (although for some reason I have the feeling it's the case of many other Dodgers fans), I know and it's only obvious that the players are the ones who have to go out and perform and it's impossible for them to always perform at the highest level (the expectations many fans have about wining every single time are plainly absurd). It's also only evident that Roberts personality is completely different from Tommy's that's not the issue since I don't want them to be the same. But it's up to the manager (and here comes my "lack of fire" problem with Roberts) to try to stamp on the team certain phylosophy if you will and try to have the team open to other ways to win baseball games (are they going to always? NO! but they should, imho, have and be open to try other ways to win or to snap from a slump. I'm referring to: are Ohtani, Betts and Freeman the only ones with green light to steal? If so, why don't they try more? why does it seems that Rojas and Barnes are the only ones that know how to bunt a ball? Why haven't he tried batting Freeman 2nd and Ohtani 3rd? In the last postseason why didn't he talked to Freeman and Betts? what about double steals? a squeeze?....

1. How come you agree on a PITCHER's record not being indicative of how good they are while at the same time saying that a MANAGER's record IS indicative of a good manager? 2. Being a fiery manager doesn't necesarilly implies you can't be a peoples manager, OF COURSE it's important to be a good manager of egos (specially in a team full of stars) but not wanting to hurt someone's feelings is not managing egos, and it all points towards Roberts just trying to keep everyone happy (clubhouse, FO, media...). 3. Jeff, you say Roberts makes it fun to watch...really? you're having a blast every time you see CT3 at the plate? Or he sat down CUlberson after his really good NLCS only to see Seager fail miserably? 4. In these days of not wanting to hurt anybodies feelings of course Tommy would have it difficulties managing this giant egos...what would Roberts could've done with the 1988 Dodgers? 5. You say everyone loves Roberts...is it though? or itr's just that nowadays no one want's the bad press of coming out to say something against your skipper (ex-skipper)?

Freeman needs to hit behind Mookie, don't get why Ohtani is hitting ahead of him. Freeman was great behind Mookie.

I've been saying it for 7 years & I see no cause for refrain because it absolutely bears repeating. Dave Roberts has accomplished the very least with by far the most (i.e scouting & player development apparatus, talent, fanbase, athletic/training facilities, personnel & human resources, information technology, travel/team management, P.R./media & community outreach, etc.) than any coach, manager, trainer or corporate executive for any team, in any sport, anywhere in the world, at any point in time throughout the history of sport & sports mgmt. I don't hate him for his failures & shortcomings, but I am mad as hell at the team for allow it to continue, during which time, Andrew Friedman & Co. have kept their fingers on the pulse of every aspect of operations on every level, have been swift to react to every need as it emerges with deft baseball acumen & unequivocal mastery, sparing no expense to fill whatever position or vacancy as it emerges with the best available talent & personnel with seamless execution, utmost dacorum & resolve. With such exemplary professionalism on full display, the unwavering support & commitment to Dave Roberts amid the glaring inadequacy in his ability to manage the team & the inability to get the most out of his players in October represents one of the most polarizing & controversial subplots in an otherwise perfectly run organization. The team's apparent indifference to this glaring contradiction is at once, both mind boggling & inexcusable. As the Dodgers regular season success over the last decade is a model of efficiency & success, the inability to execute in the post season sets the standard for abject failure which for which the manager of the team should rightly be held to account, but somehow has been given a pass & seemingly bears no responsibility whatsoever for the team's historic futility when it matters most. Dave Roberts has done the least with the most than any manager in MLB history & at sime point, the front office will have no other choice but to find someone who can make the most of it.

Look this guys lol. Roberts has a stacked lineup year after year. Bet he aint winning no 100 games with Pittsburgh, Miami, Cincinnati. And your supposed "Hall of Fame" manager leaves Lance Lynn to give up four jacks in a row in a do or die game. Thats your genius decision? I bet you will never see that in your lifetime again. I always wonder if you guys actually watch the games

I'm starting to believe what the fans are saying, roberts has to go. The team has taken on his identity, we need a coach that will take charge and not accept complacency

It is intellectually dishonest and revisionist to even compare the resources available to Lasorda and Roberts. Lasorda had some good players on his teams, whereas Dave has had the keys to a Lamborghini every single year of his tenure.

Respect for Roberts

Roberts has got to go. It's not a team slump half are old with no fire in the stove and the other half are just no good. The baseball God's are laughing 🤣

As usual, the ungrateful hosts picked on Ohtani. They intentionally ignored the fact that Ohtani played through injury since May 16 because Roberts needed him on the field.

Quit with the 2017 crap. We lost…move on. We quit hitting, remember? Same old Dodgers under Roberts. Trending that way again this year, although it is early. Roberts? Get behind him this year, move on from him if we fail again.

very VERY sad. There MUST be smarter and wiser Baseball heads than mine who can think of a way to FIX this terrible horrible slump!!! The owners have invested far too much $$$ into THIS 2024 team to accept the way things currently are. As one fan said: The 2024 Dodgers are already in POSTSEASON form!!!

our bullpen is terrible. our bottom of the order is equally bad.

A bruised thigh has zero to do with swinging the bat 😂

Ah' mazin.

"Roberts is the best people-manager in baseball"?? The LADS have been streaky ... mostly losing streaky ... ever since he was hired. THAT happens when the manager isn't managing team emotions. The whole terrible at managing team emotions thing is also why Roberts' teams collapse every October. Yours was an idiotic statement.

I thought Kike' and Rojas were both going get work at 3B. It seems like it's just been Kike'. Maybe Rojas got one start. Give him another one.

Dave Roberts would be a great T Ball manager! Get him out.

you should listen to your own words.. stop fantasizing about the past. Get over the Astros WS lost.. They cheated move on.. This is the one thing truly annoys me about your channel. They lost. I've been a Dodger fan all my life and i hated it when i found out how they won.. That only helped them when they were being pitched too. What about our team not hitting in the series. I really wish you stop fantasizing the would of, could of, should of of the 2-17 team.

This is exactly the team that gets bounced in the divisional series…..they probably will again this year and we’ll all say wait until next year…. and we’ll keep doing that until Mookie and Freddy are over. Unless they fix 6-9 and some pitching holes we’re done.

It's unwatchable right now.

Everyone's slumping at the same time. Including Andy Pothead.

Go Dodgers

I'll worry the moment the trade deadline is done and our bench remains being the one we have now. As for moves I would really try again with Arozarena and Mason Miller or another pitcher (since we don't know how/if Buehler, May, Graterol, Kersh will settle and/or if Glasnow, Treinen and Stone will stay healthy on their quality outings). As for Mookie I wouldn't mess him by sending him again to the OF. I'm pretty sure Lux will keep regaining his batting and I think/hope Outman will recover his confidence. Kiké will be fine as long as they give him enough AB's. CT3 is a lost cause.

Ohtani would be way too expensive and not worth 700 mill strictly as a hitter. He has not proven his worth in a playoff situation.

So we're just going to ignore the fact that Vince plays soccer?

They should try him as a 2way before pulling the plug. Last year he was a superb hitter while pitching. This year he is better, but not that much better that compensates all the value he brings as a pitcher. They will not rush him. It’s the first year in a 10 year deal. If they go for arenado or similar, make muncy a 2B and send mookie back to OF, Rojas can play SS. Or go look for an OF at the deadline if they think it’s needed, it’s may, too soon to panic, the bats are cold this past week but will get hot again, they have the luxury to try different things before before the playoffs.

Dodgers spent 1.3 Billion dollars 💸 this past year and the team still has flaws! I can't see the Dodgers spending another 500 million dollars for Juan Soto!

If the Dodgers struggling offensively doesn't get them to Finally Embrace small ball 😤 then it's Never going to happen!

Dalton Varsho can also be an Emergency back up catcher!

Forget about what Nightingale said, he knows nothing about Ohtani's mentality and thinking and his potential abilities at all. Once he mentioned Ohtani has less passion towards Pitching, then it meant he knew NOTHING about Ohtani! Ohtani was originally expected to be a pitcher by 90% of MLB scouts(including Dodgers scouts) and only about 10~15% scouts seeing his hitting potentials during his high school years. Only Nippon Ham Fighters previous manager Kuriyama (manager during 5 yrs of Ohtani in Fighters & 2023 WBC Champion Japan Team Manager) believes in Ohtani's 2-way/3-way baseball talents. Ohtani has been doing 3-way since high school and continued 3-way(hitting, pitching, outfielding) in his Japan Rookie year. Fighters stopped Ohtani's outfielding duty after he got leg injury and eventually becoming Fighters' Ace Pitcher in 2nd year and got regular started pitching rotation in 2nd yr. Ohtani has always been the Ace pitcher in his teams since then both in Fighters and Angels where he produced 80 wins and only 34 losses and his career ERA in Japan as 2.52 and in MLB as 3.01 with strikeouts 648 in Japan and 608 in MLB. Ohtani himself always feels doing both pitching and hitting giving him the best balance at baseball performances overall and therefore betterment in both pitching and hitting. Instead in 2019 when Ohtani was only a hitter, he had too much time and thought too much about hitting and ended up spoiled the balance he was keeping since he became a professional baseball player. Besides, Ohtani felt that many of his arm injuries hindered his chances to discover more of his pitching potentials like 2022 when he was ranked 4th in the CY race with 2.33ERA and his best MLB record of 15 wins in the season. Ohtani has answered to NHK interview last season that he would want to explore more for both pitching and hitting, especially at the pitching which he thinks he is still have 70% to grow and only reached out 30% of strength compared to hitting which would be a 40% more to explore. Ohtani will not satisfy of giving up pitching before exploring all his own possibilities and potentials because Ohtani wants to be the 'Best' baseball player! Besides, just take a look of the scuffs of Ohtani's both arms, he bared all the pains of surgery to double strengthen his pitching arm, you see Ohtani's determinations to come back to pitching. And watching Ohtani's happy smiling face after his every other day pitching rehab and the satisfaction he got from the gradual progress he had on the increasing strength and distances and the recent changes from causal throwing to setup throwing/pitching (sometimes with 2 seam pitching). If Nightingale ever paid attention to Ohtani's rehab pitching, he would never give comment of Ohtani having less passion on pitching and willing to give up pitching because the facial expression of Ohtani while examining regularly his pitch grips during his rehab pitching shown Ohtani's mind set on 25 season scheduled starting pitching is already on fire!

I want to see Ohtani pitch and hit in the same game as a Dodgers player!!!
