Cant believe he blew the save. I feel like by the time we face Boston in late September they'd already have the division clinched

You need elite pitching and hitters who mash HRs in the playoffs and we have neither

The Dodgers do though

Should have traded for Laureano

Let's hope San Diego's elite bullpen can pull this one out for them.

If Boston loses, we largely don't lose any ground in the key races (Bye, AL East, Final Wildcard), as Detroit, Houston, Texas have already lost.

Check out what Cleveland is doing

We’re only 6 up on a playoff spot now, the races are tight

Sure, the races are tight...but we're also ahead of everyone in the AL and it would take a monumental collapse to not be playing October baseball. A few bad losses against the World Series favourites doesn't change much of anything, especially if we can pull out a win tomorrow.

Better we suck against the Dodgers than if we suck against one of our AL rivals. Not upset at all about that. But Barger needs to an everyday player, he is too good to be a platoon guy.

I have been a big critic of this contract and how poorly the situation was handled by Shatkins, but this is complete nonsensical exaggeration.

Maybe they put him on the 30 Day Injury List. Rosters expand on September 1st. That way, they do not have to DFA a guy like TY France, or option Loperfido with Gimenez slated to come back sometime this week; and Shane Bieber another start away from joining the team.

Was there an actual update that said he would be out for the season.

Or is this just your speculation, possibly fueled by this board's vortex of negativity.

Refreshing the score with ohtani batting I said to myself "how much u wanna bet I keep refreshing it'll turn to 1-1 anytime now"

What a disaster of a series

It’s by far the worst contract in sports history and I don’t even think it’s an argument.

And I’m somebody who thinks he’s having a good year right now

Maybe someday our front office will add an elite starting pitcher or HR hitter to this roster again

Lauer getting exposed here, much like the rest of this team

Don't love the call for a fastball up 0-2 on Freeman there.
