Dodger fan since 1962, I live in Washington state and still have season tickets I'm 70 years old. Been following the Dodgers forever, Kershaw will be there I guarantee you they're going to have a good team I just would not want to be the one making the decisions right? Go Dodgers 2022
I say friedman tries his best to keep seager he's a big part of our offense !
Outside of the Yankees and his injury history, I don't see many teams willing to throw 250 - 300 mil his way. I don't think it makes sense to keep him for that type of contract but he been be moved to 3B when Turner's contract is up.
Seager is a Scott Boras client, no way he's taking anything under market price. I bet he goes to the Yankees or some other big market team that's doing some soul searching this off season
We got Rios who's a solid 3rd or 1st base.
@@chrishernandez3473 joc wanted to stay in L.A. and we turned our backs on him how'd that shit turn out ?
yes he's farm like to see as dodgers but take a approach to solving injuries but he hit doubles etc Note he's verybhumble which as player I would retain him with that attitude
Great job by the reporters. All the questions we wanted answers to.
Thank you for all you try so hard to accomplish for our Boys in Blue, Mr Friedman!
LIVE! BREATHE! BLUE!

Without taking anything away from the Braves, with a starting rotation completely healthy and a really dependable 4th starter, this would have been a completely different season.
I hope they are able to keep this group together--all of them--because when entirely healthy they will be nearly impossible to beat. Hopefully they can keep Corey and Trea in addition to CT, JT, Muncy, Cody and AJ. Lux and Will will get better and better. And please don't let Scherzer get away.
Hey Mark I'm with your bro, can't use injuries as excuses but dammit they would have been rocking and rolling right now in the World Series oh, they just had way too much s*** happened to him during the season so happy trails bro hang in there they'll be back
Bro we also need to focus on hitters too now just our rotation. Our boys worked it out. As far as offense, we looked like deer in headlights
Keep kenley
Yeah no thanks. One good post season doesn’t eliminate how awful he’s been since 2017. Let him become someone else’s problem. He’s only gonna decline more with age
1 year might be worth it.
Not at $20 million per year. Hell, no.
Feel like the questions were really bad this year. No direct question about Corey Seager, or Kenley. Especially once it became obvious he was not going to address the Bauer situation they needed to move on. He almost made it the entire presser without even having to discuss a franchise icon like Kershaw's free agency.
He’s not allowed to say they are in or not in on players so there’s not a massive point in asking. It’d be “we like some guys and we’ll pursue them and hope guys come back”
Remember these names; Miguel Vargas, Andy Pages, and Michael Bush. They are the next wave that contribute the next two years when JT and Pollacks contracts end. Sign CT3, Kenley and Mad Max. Kershaw on team friendly contract.
After seeing Lux fail so miserably I don’t get my hopes too high for prospects anymore.
Also if there is one prospect the Dodgers have that is can’t miss its Cartaya. Dodgers will have to make a big decision with Will Smith in a couple years
Catania is a few years off. Thevothers I mentioned earlier are more immediate.
@@gordonames1892 Players with the talent of Cartaya move much faster through the minors. He has #1 overall prospect in baseball potential. Busch and Vargas could be up next year, Pages hasn’t even played AA yet.
Pages had 18 Homer's in Rookie ball in 2019 and 31 Homer's in high A ball. Also there is another kid pitcher Cameron, the Australian, who could be a closer in waiting in high A ball.
If kershaw somehow doesn’t play for us next year, I’ll riot
why ? he's mediocre and injury prone at this point in his career and chances are he'll request non realistic years and $$$ to re-sign.
Don't get emotionally attached to a player, at the end of the day it's still a business and we need to have the best team to win.
@@chuck2200 Maybe he becomes a bully pitcher?
well I think he as players should shut down the thought of a starter and say that reluctantly for he should won 2 World Series but was cheated out of that which would put more stock in him how he could been the best pitcher there in dodgers history ..Yesw I would say he one the best he's their with all the best
@@ebecerra85 He’s still a way above average pitcher. He’s huge for this team
What is the status of Dustin May on his progress in post Tommy John surgery?
Keep muncy
Um he is under contract for 2 more years
Dodger's will now have to have background investigations on all players. I don't know why the Dodgers never did. To bad.
Every team does due diligence. Every team Also knew Bauer was a scumbag.
@@fatfreddyscat5767 You would think that the Dodgers would have done their due diligence on Bauer and if so why in the world would they sign Bauer?
Why are the dodger hitting coaches never brought up? For the amount of star power we have these last 4 years with these hitting coaches nobody has really impressed or the lineup has never lived up to what it should be on paper. We’ve won on pitching not hitting. Sure we’ll have our game here and there or a small stretch but this team often underperforms offensively for the amount of talent on the team and for some reason the dodger hitting coaches are the only hitting coaches in baseball thad are never brought up. They need to be fired I know they have like two goofy clowns that don’t do nothing but stand in the dugout looking lost
Friedman should just admit he messed up the off-season with the ridiculous Bauer signing instead of using that FA money to beef up the bullpen and bench and that his late in-season trade gamble that cost him the organization's best position prospect did not push the team over the top. He helped build a title winner in 2020, but his big decisions for 2021 were not great.
Who would have thought all the injuries where going to happen.
Andrew Friedman did an amazing job constructing a stellar team in 2021. Mookie was hurt almost all year with that hip issue. Corey seager was out 2 months, we lost a big chunk of our bullpen for 3 months, Dustin May had Tommy John , Travor Bauer got suspended and Bellinger had shoulder surgery and a broken foot. The dodgers went 44-13 in the second half and only gained 1 game on the Giants. September was a playoff game every single day to win the division. Then they lose Kershaw and Muncy in the last week of the season. They play an intense play off game against the cardinals, play 5 really intense games against the Giants, JT gets hurt and so does Joe Kelly. Then they go 6 games with a healthy Braves team (excluding Acuña, Osuna, Soroka). They won 106 games. What else do you want ? It happens. Cant blame Roberts or Friedman. They did their job. The players were burnt out mentally and physically.
@@It_Just_Breaks I Blame Robert's for shitty hi leverage in game decision making and Friedman for letting the depth of the team walk even when Peterson said he wanted back. Fire Both those Shmendrics!
Bullpen wasn’t the problem though… starting pitching depth was the issue but who could for see the Bauer situation or the starting rotation being decimated by injuries.
We are so lucky to have him as our general manager :)
LANDON KNACK NAME DROP
As a dodger fan I'd love to see Bauer back, who remembers when aroldis Chapman was accused of unloading a fire arm on his girl? Who remembers that now? I'm not justifying what Bauer is being accused of but there is no fact foundation to prove him guilty keep Bauer, sign max Kershaw and ct3 and seager!
Bring bakc Scherzer or Bauer, Knebel, CT3, Joe Kelly, and Seager.
In the biggest game of the year, elimination game Matt Scherzer’s arm is dead and tired.
Drop Bauer how’re we paying for him we need that money for this off season
Interesting. Gonna call BS on runner's on base answer.
We need to fire Roberts 1st cause he has a history of terrible decisions every post season. We've been the favorite in postseason and he digs us in a hole every playoffs. Pitching Scherzer against the Giants, Urias in game 2 screwed up the whole rotation. All of a sudden we don't trust the bullpen after they carried us the last month. Our rotation was not effective after and Buehler couldn't even go 5 innings. Putting Lux in center for the playoffs another brilliant move. Why not keep Bellinger in center and Lux at 1st at least he's an infielder. Doesn't matter who we sign or let go check the history, with Roberts not a bright future.
No
Nope
Absolutely
Dave Roberts will never be fired because he is only one of 2 African American managers in baseball and managing the DODGERS in LOS ANGELES .. yeah sorry that isn’t gonna happen as much as I wish it did. If Dave Roberts was white he would have been fired 2-3 years ago. Dave Roberts is a good guy players like him and I can’t disagree with that.. but a terrible decision maker especially in big games ..
Don mattingly was fired for way less stupidity (well deserved to be, another mediocre manager ) but he also had way less talent than Dave Roberts has been given over these last 6 years. Dave Roberts would make the perfect bench coach like he was in SD. Keep him around the players but away from decision making
Well that was 21:09 of nothing!
Great Job in building a contender for 2021. Going out and getting a pitcher like Bauer was great! You can’t control the decisions people make.
Extend Dave Roberts. There’s not a manager who’s won 3 NL Pennants, 1 World Series and has had 3 100 win seasons in 5 years. Managing in an intense situation in a professional playoff game isn’t like coaching little league.
Mookie was hurt all year with the hip, seager was out for 3 months, Bellinger had shoulder surgery, Dustin May had Tommy John, we lost 3 really good bullpen arms for 3 months of the season, then you lose Kershaw and Muncy the last week of the season. This team would have won 120 games if everyone was 100% healthy.
The dodgers went 44-13 in the second half and only gained 1 game on the giants. The month of September was a playoff game every day. Then you play an intense wild card game, play 5 really intense games against the giants , play 6 really intense games against the Braves and lost JT and Kelly. It was really tough mentally and physically.
I think I’ll go against the grain and say why not resign Trevor Bauer. You know this antiquated American concept, innocent until proven guilty.
Even the judge said he respected the woman’s boundaries. Shall we just investigate all the players’ bedrooms and judge them for any type of deviation?
Agree
I knew we should have resigned alex wood, joc pederson, kiki, and jake McGee for the money they got. Plus never traded Dylan Floro but he had to go get Bauer. Wanted the Champs to try and repeat andrew broke up the band to soon. Dodgers would still have landed Max and Trea
GO BRAVES
sorry, but, White and Jackson aren't that "impressive". I hope the rung below them coming are much better, or we're in deep trouble for the future. ugh...
Y’all better not stop spending fucken money with the ridiculous fucken prices you guys charge with 50k+ people in the stands every night. Yeah you better have a huge payroll
haha like the Russian roullette game one bullet are care of problems todays logic easy fixes get out of house that's how I got rid of people with ideas of WTF no laughing on that situation
This man manage style is something wrong.
We love to see Ohtani never become his slave player. 🙏
Angels team work break this guy!!
i hope this fool doesn't pay kershaw another 2yr 40million shit. let kersh walk.
Time to rebuild!
take a shower to clean up your act oh maybe going to candy store and create a spoiled attitude all day Here man up sports is an outlet instead of people acting out real life
KEEP BAUER
@@lou2056 wym? He still was posting a ~2.3 ERA and was in the mix for leading the NL with strikeouts. He wasn’t average by any means.
@@samcrandall3094 from when spider tack got banned to when he got suspended he had a FIPover 5 .
@@lou2056 you don’t have to be rude about someone disagreeing dude. From the performance I saw, he was still doing a good job. Take a chill pill.
@@lou2056 can you provide a source?
I like the idea of a team cultivating a character. Having some values. Bauer is not the kind of person or player I want in a Dodger uniform no matter how good he pitches. I felt the same way about Machado and I got to the same place with Puig in the end.
I would've liked a stronger statement on Bauer. I don't want him back, I don't think other fans or dodgers players want him back, and I think at the very least he shouldn't be allowed to play professional baseball anymore
They were proven false at this point, so we should be punished for allegations nowv
I don't want to see him back in a Dodger uniform either (or for that matter in the MLB) however because of the legal issues I'm sure he can't say one way or the other.
@@tpmonster24 they were not proven false. He knocked her unconscious and continued to sodomize her body. The question to the judge was if she needs a restraining ord we against him and the judge said no. If you don't know that there is a line everyone has in what is considered consensual rough sex and that line can be crossed then I worry.
I want him back.
The judge said he did not overstep her boundaries. Ultimately there will be no legal jeopardy I predict. If they don’t want him they will have to eat his $34 mil contract because he will sue. So they won’t have the $ to resign Sherzer.
Sign Seager, Trade Urias and Trea
How about we trade u fan for a bag of peanuts
We need a Real Manager
We need a Real Change
Roberts gotta go !!
NO EXTENSION WITH ROBERTS
#FireRoberts
You got that right can't believe he manages a professional team with all the mistakes. Please other teams offer him a contract he F us enough. Others don't see it but one's who understands the game do.
Sorry, will never respect Bauer. Any dude who needs to beat a woman to get off is messed up. In the same line, any lady that needs the to get beat to get off is also messed up. I met one lady that needed that many years ago. Cut and dried! I would not do it.
Everyone says it “some level of kink”…
No. Lovemaking, sex, and “f%^king should never be expressed that way.
Y’all can comment all you want, but I won’t change my convictions. And trust me, I am no saint, loved many a woman, but the line must be drawn.
Let kershaw and Jansen walk, tired of the losing culture they bring. Time for a new chapter. Keep Seager and if you don’t go get a big bat elsewhere move trea to SS . But we can’t just lose Seager and not do anything this offense is a joke
Losing culture from Kersh and Jansen? Lmao what in the world
@@thpnob8419 yes all they do is lose and choke.. anything else?
If possible sign Seager to a massive 1 year contract ;then when J.Turner contract is finished.Give Seager J.T,'s money plus a little more.Have him play 3rd,and T.Turner play s/s.
@@holokai21 Seager is not taking a one year deal bud, although Seager has not been good in the post season trea Turner has an even worst track record in the post season. I’d keep Seager and worry about trea later if we don’t keep trea oh well
Stop the Sentimentality and nostalgia. Time for some players to go and others to stay. Some of these guys are getting long in the tooth.
Long in the tooth? Never heard that one before
Doesn’t matter what this ball club does you can fell that they will choke again there a bad luck franchise 🤷♂️🙈🤦♂️
I thought you were dead.
@@randallmarsh1187 I rose from the dead 💀
Get rid of Smith and get us Travis d'Arnaud from Atlanta Braves.
This is the stupidest thing I’ve heard other than fire Dave Roberts
Let’s keep smith’ and send your A** to Atlanta for nothing
Why would they get rid of smith.You don't know nothing about baseball
