How in the world was Bobby Miller optioned and Gavin Lix not as well???!!

[@cryptobill6188]

Lux will be optioned or traded when Betts comes back...most likely optioned since he still has them

[@markeharris6867]

Agree

[@irisk934]

I love it when position players pitch. It definitely makes it more entertaining. And ultimately, watching sports is entertainment so anything that enhances that, especially during a bad loss, is only a positive in my book

[@rayguzman5962]

@@irisk934 It goes to show you that Kiki has talent he held his own last night.

[@xiaobiaoxu5984]

@@irisk934 then lose a lot games by 2 digits so you will see more of it … I mean, it’s okay but I don’t understand why one would love it …

[@pjscafe]

No reason why they keep Lux, Barnes, Biggio. All are automatic outs and should be optioned a long time ago.

[@stevemiller8895]

i think we should be concerned with the pitch clock!

[@glenberberet8418]

This was the right move to send Miller down to work out his problems. Why didn't lux go down too. Let's bring up some of players from OKC !!!

[@markeharris6867]

Honestly, they both are 🗑

[@thegoodfella2045]

Lol damn here we go again one-way ticket to October meltdown

[@deucenahaff]

Keke starts on three days rest!

[@LAfan1882]

There was the time Ichiro came in a pitched for the Marlins. That moment by itself is worth it to let position players pitch in blowouts.

[@Dodger4ever]

Lineup could be: Ohtani,Betts, Freeman,Smith, Robert or Arozarena, T. Hernandez, Paredes, Pages and Rojas. Rotation could be: Glasnow, Crochet/Skubal, Yammamota/Kukuchi, Stone/et al.

[@deucenahaff]

How does this happen! C'ept for Stone, Dodgers are in deep doodoo. I think all the bad juju around the League is landing on the Dodgers.

[@gerald828]

Get a live chicken !

[@jcass540]

So Both Bobby AND Buehler are lacking a put-away pitch. They are missing that devastating out pitch. Both need to improve either their sliders or ADD a SPLITTER..... Look at Yamamoto's splitter. Treinen's slider. Both devastating. Those NEED to be recreated/taught/implemented with Buehler/Miller. That would alleviate their struggles.

[@stevemiller8895]

let's ask how the launch angle philosophy is working for Chris Taylor

[@cryptobill6188]

I love Chris but he always looks like he's carrying a heavy bat...he needs a toothpick and just get some singles/doubles

I hope the Los Angeles Dodgers trade for Chicago White Sox pitcher Garrett Crochet.

[@MajorChipHazard16]

I couldn't stop replaying when stott hit the HR off of miller's curveball. It looked nice and sounded even better

[@Dodger4ever]

Get Crochet or Skubal, add KuKuchi as starters. Get Fairbanks or T. Scott as reliever. Get Paredes, Arozarena or Robert as bats.

[@ajjohnson590]

Dodgers Nation Let's Go!!!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@-C.S.R]

I just looked it up and the Dodgers are the number one team so far this year to have the most injured, based on either total days spent on the injured list or projected WAR lost to IL stints. 🤦🤬

[@julieklyman4591]

This may sound crazy but the pitchers need to change the they pitches or the way they throw it . Look at Kersaw his shoulder waited for years to go out what 20 years. He throws the ball that limited his injures . Look and how he did and be the greatest pitcher of Dodgers history.

[@mr.g6309]

Max said he is not waiving his no trade clause

[@kevintoler7445]

That's fine, we don't need his dead arm again!!!!

[@lamontwilson1025]

Pitching is KEY!!!!! We need to wake up and smell the smoke. This rotation is not gona get it done!!

[@andrewadamsSOTR]

Isn't it a little weird that the entire starting rotation melted down at the exact same time in consecutive games?

[@frankyhonnolus5528]

Bobby Miller never had it even last year. Maybe a few good starts because nobody knew him. But his 100 mph fastball was always a hittable juicy batting practice pitch. I am not surprised he’s collapsing. In fact, I predicted it.

[@michaelbilgen2976]

Jack Flaherty is a must. If we can get Andrew Chafin too, it's a win win.

[@chicodopeness9391]

Could’ve would’ve. Dodgers should always be in.

[@eddiewoods2988]

Why do the players only want to hit home runs play real; baseball 😊

[@rolandhdz17]

our training staff is garbage

[@rhondablack8079]

I do not think Roberts should have let Gavin Stone pitch a complete game recently. His next time out he had a rough time. Why risk the best pitchers arm like that? Does Dustin May still exist ?

[@Dodger4ever]

Very nervous that trade deadline moves will fall short. Need reassurance Doug. Need Arozarena,Paredes, Crochet or Skubal , Kukuchi and Fairbanks or T. Scott.

[@waxfactory1978]

B Miller as part of Crochet deal. I’m in

[@playmeortrademe]

I think it’s time to look at the efficacy of the driveline mentality of pitching

[@jeremyhopwood5822]

Dodgers should focus on pitchers that have a track record of staying healthy 🙌 don't worry about their numbers performance wise 👌 as long as they stay healthy!!!

[@bman2080808]

Too bad friedman hates players who have a track record of staying healthy, he’d rather go after injure prone players who are out half the season

[@nickmorris9311]

LOL

[@cryptobill6188]

For a team (Dodgers) and pitching coach (Prior) that many state have a great pitching philosophy, a lot of pitchers get injured on their watch

[@kevintoler7445]

I think that Friedman's prerequisite to acquiring a pitcher is that they need to have had Tommy John surgery!

[@terrylamb1891]

Sherzer, Evadi, Lance Lynn (LOL)/ WS pitcher. GoTani !!!

[@thewicked8642]

Goatani is the best. Dodgers do look concerning right now. Hopefully it's just some key injuries and once those get healthy the team will be clicking on all cylinders.

[@Dodger4ever]

Lux and Outman to AAA. Robert CF T. Hernandez LF, Pages RF or Arozarena LF Pages CF and T. Hernandez RF.

[@Dodger4ever]

Lux and Outman to AAA. DFA Biggio. Bench Barnes, Taylor, Heywood and E. Hernandez. Muncy in limbo.

[@jajacobs2]

Scherzer said he won’t waive his no trade today.

[@cryptobill6188]

He would for the Dodgers...though the Dodgers don't want him anymore

[@jajacobs2]

[@djrythm7312]

WE NEED NOT TO SIGN VETERANS FOR YOUTH WE NEED YOUTH FOR YOUTH

[@markeharris6867]

You can't include Ohtani, he won't pitch anymore. They need to trade Lux, Miller, and Outman ASAP! Yes, they do need a permanent 3rd baseman cause Muncy's injuryprone. Robert's has to do better when it comes to pull pitchers when struggling on the mound!

Dodgers need to understand that there is no PERFECT team and it does not require a PERFECT team to win the whole thing. Dodgers have more than enough to win as is. The question though, do they have the will/confidence to win ... Glassnow, Yama, and Stone/Miller can be the 3-man rotation for postseason/ws. That is what they are billed for. It is a team sport everybody needs to show up to win, sometimes by bats, sometime by arm, and sometimes by a mix of both.

Dodgers need a new P.T. guy ,too many injuries. Adames sucks!

[@kevintoler7445]

[@bman2080808]

Get a new hitting coach ffs billion dollar team ranked in bottom tier in terms of risp is just ridiculous at this point

[@bobwhite4671]

How about optioning Pryor when does he start taking responsibility for these bad performances ? We really need a new pitching coach, the injuries, we need a new approach because this approach is not working. No one has more injured pitchers than the Dodgers, why is that, it can’t be just bad luck. Look at the Phillies pitching coach, he has made a good Wheeler great, Suarez and Sanchez are with all due respect Pitching way above their talent level. They have guy named Stram and Hoffman in the all star game. On top of it they are pitching in a hitter friendly park and very few injuries. No one ever seems to lose their job in LA from the manager to the hitting coach to the pitching coach, they are all way too comfortable!

[@nickmorris9311]

You're completely clueless

[@laartwork]

Man... how many games below 1st place are they?

[@philipfountain8074]

Mark Prior is considered perhaps the best pitching coach currently in the game. Free agents WANT to pitch in L.A. for some of that "Prior Magic" and how many careers has he saved? Come on, Bob ... we're all frustrated right now but don't make the mistake of placing blame on the wrong folks. We have the highest caliber coaching staff in baseball. No contest.

Bobby Miller gets too flustered.. I don't think that's something he can fix.

[@cryptobill6188]

Dodgers should unload the farm for Paul Skenes: Gavin Lux, Gavin Stone, Dalton Rushing, Josue De Paula and 3 remaining top prospects...Dodgers still have catchers to back up Will Smith and have players in the minors to take the place of the prospects...a boatload which gives the Pirates a contending team and the Dodgers get a perennial cy young contender

[@DennisK-q9g]

Teams want quality prospects, not one guy and ten system guys. Only one of those guys is considered a top 50 prospect. If those guys would make the Pirates a contender, why are they not in LA right now helping the Dodgers.

[@cryptobill6188]

@@DennisK-q9g you have two guys (Lux, Stone) that are already in the bigs. DePaula is the #2 prospect in the system, Dalton Rushing would be the #1 if Dodgers didn't sign Smith..and then 3 top prospects...what's the point of Pirates having Skenes if they don't have a ballclub that can compete and lose him anyway? Why aren't they in L.A. Well, Sheehan, Frasso, etc would be up there except Dodgers have guys named Glasnow, Yamamoto, etc. on their...Frasso, Sheehan, etc. were rated HIGHER than Stone (Stone is doing great now) so they would be in the bigs right now if not injured

[@deborahburroughs9783]

Love your show! I’m tired of all these people saying fire Dave Roberts Dave is a great manager who loves and respects his boys. He has a record second to none with his time with the dodgers.Dave puts a star studded mvp All Star line up in every game. Doc cannot go out there and swing the bat or pitch .He cannot control injuries also. He does the best with what he has. I have been Dodger Blue for over 63 yrs. My husband of 50 yrs and I watched every game available until he passed away almost 2 years ago. I would love to have a jersey as I am not financially able with my health issues to purchase one. As I have always said about naysayers if you don’t like the way Doc manages there are 29 other teams go find one you can be happy with but you will find it hard pressed to find one better than the Dodgers. As for me Dodger Blue for life.

[@Mr1stcat]

Ha ha listen to yourself this comment is the reason the dodgers and Dodgers fans aren't taken seriously Long gone are the days of Walter Alston and Tommy Lasorda when the Dodgers were winners and were held accountable for dogCRAP sportsmanship

[@okguy1282]

Dodgers super lucky the division is weak. But remember, division titles mean NOTHING anymore.

[@user-xt8yx4tz8x]

The entirety of baseball destroyed pitching. Ryan, Sever,Koufax, even Clemens or Schillimg…. They pitched. Innings. No pitch count. They grew up pitching complete games and not worrying about pitch counts. By trying to save arms MLB has essentially weakened arms.

[@rubenperez1404]

Sorry, play 2 to 3 games then out for a year. Good call.
