Afraid it looks like 2022. He hasn't done any baseball activities.

Not even chewing tobacco, or letting the grass grow between his toes? That's disappointing.

3-1 is where we want to be. Just like last year.

 

[Lt Dan]

That was f***ing brutal last night.
This team is going to turn me in to even more on an alcoholic

in the postseason, Trea Turner has a .219 career batting average and .540 OPS. That OPS is worse than Bellinger’s 2021 regular season.

He has been brutal

I would rather bench him for a game and play Lux at second at this point. Get him out of the OF

honestly yeah, massive disappointment in the playoffs...at least the other Turner has an excuse in that he's been playing injured (and is now done for the playoffs)

When is Justin Turner not hurt? Feels like that dude is made of glass, particularly for a non-contact sport.

Dude is our age and plays a pretty high impact game. I'm not surprised. I'm actually surprised he's made it this far relatively intact considering the way he still throws himself around. He's not at all aboust self-preservation like Tio Albert haha

Trea Turner though...man what a disappointment. Like I said props to the Braves but this has to be the most collective underperformance-per-dollar batting roster ever. And it's not even because of the pitching, because guys are ON base, they're just stranded due to choking.

 

[kingsholygrail]

Justin Turner's injury is just an exclamation point on this season for the Dodgers. Tons of injuries, but still won 106 games. It's too bad the injuries returned at the end of the season. No Muncy or Kershaw is pretty rough. Missing Kershaw in NLCS, moreso than the NLDS, is pretty big. He fixes the rotation as the 4th guy. And Muncy having an MVP worthy season going out a few games before the playoffs is just brutal.

Having a "bullpen game" in the playoffs is just pathetic, btw.

Our age? I'll take those 10 years back in a heartbeat, thanks!

Yeah on one hand just being a 106 win team with all the adversity is phenomenal, and I want to be understanding of the attrition, especially with the pitchers arms...yet here we are with a million RISP throwing games away, making uncharacteristic errors in the field, and otherwise. I'm sure some of it is fatigue leading to errors mentally too, especially having to battle the Cards and Giants too, thems the breaks...the margins are eating away at our advantages. But when I see Mookie drop a ball, I know it's not meant to be.

It is kinda amazing we beat the Cards and Giants, traditional foils, but are losing to a team we usually handle well, but then again still 3-1. Series continues or ends tonight.

It's like if the Kings beat Ducks and Chicago only to lose to the Rangers

We all need to do our voodoo tonight.

I am going to rub Rogaine all over my forearms and wear my Steve Garvey jersey

I want to grow a Ron Cey mustache but there just isn’t time.

 

[The Butcher]

At least the dodgers ended the giants season. We'll always have that.

This might be it tonight... at least I kinda like that braves team. I'll be watching Joctober intently if they go to the world series. Anyone but the Astros and I'll sleep fine.

 

[21Dog]

He has been brutal

Batting champ to postseason chump. He's lost all concept of the strike zone.

The three go hand in hand, don't they?

 

[kingsholygrail]

This starting with your bullpen thing isn't working. It's stupid.

3 for #3

They need to name a burger after Chris Taylor. Three patties, three pieces of bacon, and three kinds of cheese.

Dejavu all over again? Let’s hope so.
