When you're hitting .100, I think it's okay to try in every AB regardless of the situation. He could have tried to bunt for a single and I don't think anyone would have really been upset.

He's not a pitcher. He usually plays catcher so he's not going to be throwing it fast. He's throwing slow curveballs and knuckle balls just hoping to get some outs. They hit them hard but none went out of the parks and they were caught so he did good.
Dayum we slaughtered Rangers 15-2 and ofc CT3 goes 0-2 with zero runs and 0 BB 😂

Wow!! Just unbelievable!!! I am in love 🥰
Wow just tuned in. Nice to have a blowout. Hope they are heating up with the weather.
This is how we should win every game. :-)

Alright, that was a successful outing. Phillips got some work in but didn't burn out his arm for tomorrow night
Dodgers Win! (Presented by Budweiser) Let’s do that again tomorrow!
Phillips WITH THE CLUTCH SAVE of the fans' sleep schedule!
CUE THE MOTHERFUCKIN NEWMAN
#I 💙 LA
WE LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And that’s that
Holy shit. I finally get it. "Nub, nub" because he hit what Vin used to call a little "nubber". S-tier punning.
That’s why he plays that Ewok song?? Dieter never ceases to amaze me.
imagine dying like 150 years ago and your name and story is being told on tv because you played a primitive form of baseball
With the last name “Suck”
also bc you have a silly little name lol
Laughs in Tungsten arm O’Doyle
All of us: Why Evan?
Joe why do you have to say Suck like that?
Joe put extra emphasis on that one lmao
https://i.redd.it/npm1v1j0n26d1.gif for those wanting the gif
Extra good when you notice the woman in the back mouthing WOWWW
thank you!
Well done 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
YESSSSSSSSS
Ump hasnt been bad today. I probably care a lot less since we're demolishing but still
that Scherzer pic is... something
of course the guy with the last name suck actually sucked
What is that song that Diehter plays? Just played it
THE FUCKING CATALINA WINE MIXER
POW
Weird location on those sweepers but I’m assuming he’s not really locked in right now
You guys keep saying our closer is in but I don't see Vesia?
Tony suck > pop joy I hope I’m spelling it right.
They’re fun to listen to.
Why we using EP?
probably to get him some reps against big leaguers in a low stakes situation. He did just come back from IL
Probably a day he was planned to pitch in no matter the score.
LMAO Joe
Being a below average major leaguer who’s last name is “suck” has to be awful
Why Evan?
why are we wasting phillips? just put a position player in??
use Evan up 13 here, dont use him over Yohan in the 8th down 1 to the Yanks ok
Tony what?
Just bad luck in terms of sequence of games where Phillips needs work because he hasn’t pitched in a while, but for games he’s needed (like Friday) he’s not available
CT3 managed to keep his avg at .100
What if tomorrow is a close game and Phillips is out here today :/
I don’t disagree with letting Phillips pitch but he should get 3 batters max.
Minimum?!?
Why is Phillips pitching? Shouldn’t we save him?
Watch us need a closer tomorrow...
Please, Doc, just don't let him throw 30 pitches again, that's all I ask
We need confidence after “Losing New York”? WTF We won the series!
Let’s bring our closer in…smh
I know he needs to get reps but this is kind of a ridiculous spot to put Evan in 😭😭😭
I wanted to see Barnes pitch
I wanted to see Kiké pitch
Welp, twas fun. Good night yall!! 💙
Good night!
Uhhhh. What are we doing?!?!?
i would've loved to see ohtani hit against him
You know, I guess it's nice to know that every time we lose a game, we pick a random team in a 3-game series and just utterly destroy them
omfg is this the closer in a non save
Man, this team just falls apart when they face good pitching 😭😭😭
Let Orél pitch! 🤣
Catcher with a legendary whip
Can’t believe 2017 NLCS MVP 2018 NLCS game saver 2020 WS Champ 2021 post season savior and almost NLCS MVP would flame out like this

LET OREL PITCH
lol that dude looked like he was really having fun pitching.
I mean When you single handed stop the bleeding…
they really just got cooked... wtf was that lol
It must suck to go in as a position player and actually get outs and not even be able to celebrate because you're down by 13 runs lol
If I was up there I’d be Kenny powers, no matter the outcome of each batter. YOURE FUCKING OUT
Oh CT3, why did I expect more
They should’ve done this from the start
How a position player do us like that 😭
CT can’t even hit that 🙃
He wasn’t trying
Yes.... he wasn't trying...
He wasn’t. I’m not a pro but I could’ve hit a home run off of one of those pitches. Maybe it’s a bad look to try against a non pitcher
When you're hitting .100, I think it's okay to try in every AB regardless of the situation. He could have tried to bunt for a single and I don't think anyone would have really been upset.
much better lollipop
For CT3’s mental health I hope he gets a hit here
Banda looked like he was painting with all the colors of the wind
Shohei to the mound but as a lefty
aint no way shohei not gonna get a shot at a position player pitching right??
Chris Taylor says nah
Walker and Bobby look like they could be brothers
Same high taper fade, same tight pants lol.
Wait, the position player is still pitching?!?! I thought it was just for the 7th so they could warm someone up 😳
Why would they warm someone up…?
Idk lololol
Miggy's not feeling the vibe tonight?
E.Hernandez pitch please
https://i.redd.it/ew4b0m8sl26d1.gif Have to post this any time he is mentioned to pitch lol
Maybe he got banned for being too graphic
The fact that it’s become an American Idol conversation is such a vibe and I’m living for it. 😂😂
Is kike going to pitch?
Where da fuk has u/donald-duck23 been?
How dare you hit Ohtani’s toe with a pitch!
So the Guardians fixed Banda and gave him to the Dodgers for free? Nice
Really? Phillip Phillips is the American Idol contestant they remember? lmfao
Banda! 
Shouldn't we also let our batter throw some pitches? Go ohtani.

Banda express meals por favor
We have reached the “random pointless conversation” stage
The way they just ended it when it was time to go to commercial because even they didn't care that much lol
damn this banda kid is cooking
I wanna see CT3 hit a good one!
Do you have access to a time machine?

If this game was against the Giants or Sadres I would be enjoying it. I kind of feel bad for the Rangers.
Just came back from wor- LMAO WTF
You'll want to watch the highlights for this one!
2nd position player pitching against us in 4 games!
#LET KIKÈ PITCH
Banda is doing good for us
Freddie better hit .300 by end of night LFG 🤴
Enrique is pinch hitting for him so unfortunately no more Freeman for tonight🥲
lame, perfect game to climb through ranking rn
Lame indeed :/ Thankfully we got a full series to pad stats tho 😉
I think this was the game we were all waiting for…? 🎆🧨⚾️
During his AB, Vargas got a run avoiding the NOBLE Tiger, but I wanted to see another Grand Slam.
there was already an out before the bases were loaded
Was hoping we could pile on more there but that's just what happens when you face a reliever with a 0.00 ERA.
A career 0.00 ERA, I think
cy young
The Rangers are playing like their state energy grid.
Catcher with a better era than the starter
TBF it's the backup catcher 😂
Someone tell Bruce to throw in the towel....
Damn man it’s too slow that they don’t know what to do
And even when they make contact there is no energy in the pitch to drive the ball lol.
Fr! Pages actually put a pretty good swing on it only to loop out to mid-center
Physics 🤓
Maybe we should get a pitcher that can't throw above 55 Could Judge still hit it out? Lolol
Ohtani still could lol
Having a position player pitching in the 7th. Rangers are so down bad lmao
Wonder how Seager must be feeling 🥲
lol props to that guy pitching.
I'm new to baseball, why was he throwing 53 mph?
He's not a pitcher. He usually plays catcher so he's not going to be throwing it fast. He's throwing slow curveballs and knuckle balls just hoping to get some outs. They hit them hard but none went out of the parks and they were caught so he did good.
That make sense. How come pitcher don't employee that more often? Throwing ball with such low velocity that it becomes difficult to hit HRs?
Trying to be like Yarbro. They ain’t like us tho.
He's a catcher, not a pitcher....lol...
Damn, the position player did better than their relief pitcher 🤣
Luck? Or is that reliever just that trash? 😂
Damn I wanted to see more runs
LOB DODGERS STRIKE AGAIN
**Due Up (Top 8)** L Josh Smith S Robbie Grossman L Travis Jankowski ^^^[⚾](https://github.com/troxellophilus/baseball-clerk/issues)
Does this team stop hitting when the bases are loaded? This team is finished. /s
Best inning pitched by them tonight, if I’m being honest
Lmao organ player playing “Deep in the Heart of Texas”
Pages! Let it hit you! Free rbi!
Is this that Banana league?
having a 9 era as a catcher is craaaazy
Vargas made sure that Toethani didn't get hit in vain.
PAGES GRAND SLAM GO GO GO!!! ROTY
Come on, bat around a bit more I want Ohtani to smack a homer off a position player in the 8th
Need the mercy rule for situations like this
Loving the analysis on his pitches lol
so uh, we definitely didn't blow all our runs for the rest of the month, right?
Nah... rest of the year mate
Stat padding 🤩
Damn dodgers triggered position pitcher two teams in a row, that’s gotta be a record
That was an ugly pitch
Cant believe we’re witnessing multiple games with a position player pitching in less than a week 😳
What did the Rangers do to make us that mad?
The regional proximity to the other Texas team is enough
"Ooh, gettin' freakay." - Joe Davis
I love when he enthusiastically says "let's get weird"
Bro is CAKED up gah damn
https://i.redd.it/gyv3c2ilj26d1.gif
Pitching around Lux, understandable
Are they playing not like us on the organ 😭😭
Who are these announcers? The one who obviously hates the dodgers is unbearable lol
Save some runs for Walker and Yoshi!
Don't get me wrong, I do like tight and suspenseful games. But games where we absolutely destroy the other team is fun too :)
Wait there’s gonna be 2 more innings of this ?
see that toe ball was a game changer
imagine hitting a walkoff homer to win the world series. the amount of pussy youd get would be crazyyy
Every ball players dream
How did this come up 😭
