Wood and McCarthy = arrieta and Hendricks

>>77292205
Arrieta is a Cy Young winner, you can attempt to compare skill but in terms of being a "no name" there is absolutely no comparison

>>77292205
Lackey was a meme, but has had a decent career

>>77292025
If they were the Cubs, they'd be actually supported by a lot of people. I want Colorado or the Brewers to make a run for it, even if they may not even make the playoffs.

>>77292205
Wood is a guarantee babby for the dodgers. He will regress hard in the postseason once analytics actually get to him

>>77292287
analytics said he should be getting more Ks and guess what he is getting more Ks

No

Who doesn't want us to win one?

Do doyer fans actually think people like them? They're literally the biggest bad guys only second to the yanks.

>>77292765
If you hate the Dodgers or the Yankees and you're nor from Boston or San Francisco then you're just a whiny bitch

>>77292765
Dodgers are a flagship franchise like the Yankees, Red Sox and Cardinals

People want to see us win

>>77292887
No I can hate whatever team i want regardless where I'm from. You guys are the biggest cry babies in all of baseball.
>>77293454
Literally no one believe this.

>>77293502
Too bad because mainstream sports media disagrees

>>77292025
People should be rewarding the Dodgers because unlike the Astros or Cubs, the Dodgers rebuilt the team without tanking

By not cheering for them to win, you cheer for tanking instead of smart team construction and the greatness of Clayton Kershaw

And I'm a Giants fan

>>77293526
> mainstream sports media

You mean the (((media))) tends to cover the teams with the largest markets because it will ensure they have a solid base for ratings despite the fact the rest of the league would rather watch flag ship teams burn in a hole? Shocking revaltion there

You mean bought their team and got lucky on a few random players.

>>77293567
They traded for Turner when he was a no one in New York
Kershaw, Seager, Pederson, and Bellinger were all Dodger draftees

Who'd they buy? Puig?

>$201 million to have aaron judge carry the yankees to a .500 season

>>77293628
A lot of that is dead money they traded or cut like Kemp or Crawford

>>77292110
The Astros aren't as experienced in the playoffs as the Dodgers are

No way they make it to the WS much less beat the Dodgers

>>77293677

unlike the dodgers, the astros actually made it to the WS this millenium

>>77293687
Yet have just as many WS games won as the Dodgers

I just remember the Cardinals making them their bitch

>>77293711

I remember the cardinals making the dodgers their bitch vividly

I also remember the astros making it to the world series

>>77293720
And how many of those WS players are still on the team?

>>77293745

keep shifting those goalposts

>>77292221
Arrieta winning the Cy Young was fucking bullshit and you god damn well know it.

>>77293754
lol doesn't change the fact the Dodgers are this years 2016 Cubs

>>77293810

said increasingly delusional dodgers fan for the 6th year in a row

>>77293769
Yeah Kershaw honestly has been like LeBron - he really is the best pitcher and everyone knows it.

>>77293567
The only Dodger starter that could be considered a big name trade or signing is Yasmani Grandal. Lol.

Everyone else was picked up for nothing or built through the farm system

>>77293853
No, Greinke deserved it that year.

>>77293854
HIGHEST SALARY AND STILL NOTHING TO SHOW FOR IT

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

>>77293628
the misconception is people believe that is active player money whos highest is still the yankees

So no props for rebuilding while contending? I guess people like losers more than winners

>>77293899

Please. The Dodgers have the best record in baseball and are currently World Series favorites. This year's payroll is money well spent, even if it means paying Carl Crawford 21 Million Dollars not to play LF.

>inb4 chokers
If you're so certain, you should put all of your money on the Dodgers losing in the NLDS. You'll make lots of money friend :^)

>>77293865
How bout the best regular season record of the 2010s, and playoffs 7 of the last 11 years? That nothin?

With three different managers, two different ownership groups , and rebuilding top to bottom

>>77294056

I cant decide which is sadder: the fact that you think those are accomplishments, or the fact that the team's done all that and still has no pennants to show for it

>>77293963
>crawford
i had just managed to forget him
thanks for the reminder, dick

>>77294122
2017 is the last year the Dodgers ever pay him. Payroll is about to drop by like 10% in 2018.

Feels good man.

I forgot they give trophies for that. Jen

>>77293963
They're the Washington capitals of the MLB and will continue with that. Kershaw will never win a WS game, let alone even a WS appearance

>>77294056
How does it feel that the padres, diamondbacks, Rockies, Mets, blue jays, and the rays have a more recent Pennet to show then the dodgers. THE FUCKING MARLINS have won a World Series more lately then these idiots in hollywood

>>77292887
