I feel like winning a division should not be celebrated like they just won the world series. It’s weird seeing all the celebration only to lose in a round or two
As a Dodgers fan, this is a special kind of pain. It’s like we signed a deal with the Devil to get away from the McCourts, but the price we paid was for us to be constantly shown a golden carrot that leads us off a cliff every year!
@@outofcompliance1639yeah but the astros can say they have made the world series more then them. Something I noticed about the Dodgers is that they are an amazing season but post season they crash.
excellent analogy bro! and i understand why dodger fans are extra whiny about that 2017 astros victory at dodger stadium. You guys arern't mad that the astros cheated to get to that finale, it's the pent-up frustration of not being able to win a WS since the 80's. It sucks even more because that 2017, you played it at home the dodgers had the momentum and heartbreak still happened.
After 2013, the Diamondbacks had guards around their pool in 2017 when they got swept in the NLDS by the Dodgers to prevent them from doing it again. Seeing the Diamondbacks turn the tables all these years later was poetic.
The teams were completely different by 2017 and obviously this year too. It might be poetic for the fans but as far as the players go it’s completely irrelevant and any dodgers team since 2015 would not have jumped in there
@@therealjaystone2344 Imagine all the people, celebrating a Vikings Super Bowl Championship. You may say that I'm a dreamer ... but I'm not the only one. Yeah, it's a dream. Watching the Lions (yes, the Lions) kicking ass. Strange world we live in my man. Strange world.
That Dodgers team just mentally checks out after the end of the 162. That's the only reason they won in 2020. If we had a 140 game season they'd probably be champs every year. They're like a salary worker on hour 40 of 50 for the week.
So I have to look at the common denominator through all of those years and change it. I don’t know how many more times we have to see Dave not light a fire under his team when it matters most.
@bdoff23 yes, this year the performance by starting pitching or lack thereof was epic. No offense and Dave roberts did the best he could do from the bench. But you keep expecting different results with same coach. And in 2020 they year the dodgers won they ALMOST DIDN'T lol. Had to comeback epic against the braves but that is rarely brought up by Dodgers critics
How did they get to the NLCS in 2021? You are not a Dodger fan...we've been bumped out of the 1st round 5 out of 11 times...meaning we more than half the time we've go out of the first round...you have to be a new fan to be this spoiled.
As a Giants fan, I’m definitely fine with making the post-season less often but going farther when we do. The 2010-2014 run was magic, and while I was bummed to see them lose to the Dodgers in 2021 (I had tickets to see them in round 2 if they’d won), I still remember the three rings from before, so it’s fine. They’ll be good again some day 😂
2014 was a magical season, I remember the Dodgers getting KOed by the Cards minutes before the Giants then dispatched the Nats. Bizarre that even going from Mattingly to Roberts, the Dodgers keep losing in the playoffs for largely the same reasons annually.
As a giants fan Farhan and Larry baer destroyed this team and we are wayyyy far behind the dodgers or anyone in the division. They finished in 4th yet they were in 2nd place with 2 games behind the dodgers at the trade deadline that tells me how terrible Farhan is
@@outofcompliance1639 Yeah you have a point. With how bad the starting rotation was and with all the rookie and veteran players in the lineup it’s a miracle they made it to 100 wins
@@andresramirez4469 They also lost Dustin May, Tony Gonslin, and Syndergaard was a complete bust. Not to mention Pepiot was out most of the season and Kershaw was out several weeks. Basically they had no starting pitching other than rookies.
Then you weren't paying attention. Our pitching staff had been obliterated. We're relying on rookies and Lance Lynn... if you thought we had a chance you didn't pay attention.
My grandpa is 58 years old and has been a life long dodger fan and after every year we have seen them get knocked out in the playoffs year after year hes always said things like "next year will be our year" or "It just wasn't their time", but after we saw them get swept by Arizona he just said "I can't say anything except that I guess their just not meant to win in October". Its been a frusturating decade for dodger fans like me and my grandpa.
When an NHL team qualifies for the postseason, wins their division, a round (or two), or their conference, there is no celebration. Most cases, a big handshake line forms, and the opponents congratulate the victors. The winning team does not pop champagne until they win the Stanley Cup... The Dodgers, or really any division winner at that, should follow the NHL's example. Save the champagne and celebration until you win the whole thing...
This team wasn't even supposed to win the division this year, San Diego was. Hell I even saw a few genuine predictions having them finish 3rd in the division. So the fact that they not only won the division by 16 games, but also won 100 games again, all in a so called "rebuilding year" is impressive in its own right. I never expected this team to win the WS this year- just look at the starting rotation by the end... Yikes- but I did expect them to do more than they did. And while this is less than fun, there have definitely been worse years in comparison to this when it comes to failing in October. 2015, 2017, 2019, and 2022 all come to mind.
This was actually an overachieving team. No pitching whatsoever at any point during the season. Projected to win 86 games and lose the division to the Padres. It’s amazing they got this far to begin with. Nobody in the entire league would’ve guess the Dodgers winning 100 games.
Whatever helps you sleep at night 😂. Look as a Braves fan I couldn’t agree more when this guy completely roasted my team a couple days ago. The fact is this team had the second best record in the NL, and should have won this series. My team at least won a playoff game. We also had injuries to a lot of our pitchers this year but I will not use that as an excuse. At this point I agree with everything this guy said about my team. The regular season doesn’t mean anything anymore. We (Braves fans) expect to be in the postseason, and we also expect to advance more often than not. Anything less is unacceptable in my eyes.
This is exactly how I feel as a Packers fan. Sure we have had a ton of playoff seasons in recent memory, but the last time we won it all was in Aaron Rodgers' second season under center. It's pitiful. Tbh I'm kinda glad he's not on the team anymore so that we can try to build something else.
As a diehard lifetime Dodger fan, I have been incredibly frustrated for years now. The aughts were horrible with McKook and Co. and now this crap. I felt nothing when they 'won' in '20 because we know they can play great baseball for 70 or so games but for 163+... that takes a better team than what we have right now. I don't pretend to know the answers but I truly believe it begins with more youth and maybe even a new coach. We need energy and not just flacid, stoic guys who lack passion in October.
@@thedailytalon9259Braves are doing good just keep these winning seasons coming. If you're good enough to persistently get in then you're good enough to win it. Remember how long it took the Nats. I'm a Cardinal fan, LaRussa came over in '96 and we didn't win til '06. It wasn't the 97 win '02 team, the 105 win '04 team, or the 100 win '05 team, but the 83 win '06 team that won a championship.
Dodgers IL list: Daniel Hudson Yency Almonte Walker Buehler Blake Trinen Tony Gonsolin Gavin Lux Dustin May Julio Urias* Not saying that it’s the reason the dodgers got knocked out but it’s worth mentioning
Most of the last 3 World Series were won by the Dodgers and Braves. How does that make them the biggest jokes? The biggest jokes would be teams who never win it. Not teams who win it most of the time in recent years.
As a Dbacks fan, this sweep was like winning a mini World Series. I cannot express the feeling I felt when we swept the Dodgers. It felt like a weight was lifted off Chase Field and Dbacks fans. It’s an incredible feeling.
I've been saying this for a few years now speaking as a former Tigers fan, the Dave Roberts era Dodgers are the new Jim Leyland era Tigers. Dominant during the regular season only to choke in the most crucial playoff games. This latest series was reminiscent of the 2012 Tigers who only scored 6 runs in the World Series by a team that included Miguel Cabrera, Prince Fielder, and Victor Martinez in their primes plus Jhonny Peralta and Austin Jackson.
They are the current version of the 90’s Braves. All this winning in the regular season, yet comes up short come October. Mookie, Freddie, you don’t go 1 for 21 in a series where your pitching staff is literally getting smashed.
As a Res Sox fan, yes, it feels much better to be in the post season infrequently, but with more wins. We have been treated to four WS victories over the last 20 years… I’ll take that over the Dodgers experience 110% of the time!
The Decade Regular Season Dominant Dodgers Remind Me A Lot Of The Decade Regular Season Dominant Atlanta Braves Of The 1990's. Fun Fact: They Both Won A World Series In A Short Season During Their Decade Of Dominance.
2017 and 2020 do not count both ways!! 2017 Astros cheated so no one can even give them credit anymore and 2020 Dodgers (or whoever won it) means absolutely nothing because it was only played 37% of the way complete
As a Rockets fan, I feel the same way. No one in Houston cares or even really thinks about how good the Rockets were in the regular season since there's no championship to show for it. Hell, they set the record for most 3 pointers only to choke when it mattered
I know it’s not the same but the astros had a tainted title for 2017. So they went out and won in 2022. The dodgers have an asterisks of a title and can’t back it up with every year being worse and worse of an exit
The dodgers aren’t choking, it’s just a crap shoot… 12 teams make the postseason. So after 11 years of postseason appearances they should statistically have 1 ring.
The Dodgers of the 2010's and early 2020's, are the new Atlanta Braves from the 90's. Sustained regular season domination, completely owning their division, and a single World Series win. That's baseball.
The Dodgers have won one WS since 1965 when playing a full regular season schedule. The 1981 season was a strike shorten season and they added extra playoff teams.
@@db-rc5fryeah that is wild...this franchise having 1 real title since 65 is nuts...they have not won a real title since 88..I guess we can count the 81 title but still
My theory is that these teams do not have the killer instinct mindset. The 2022 Phillies, the 2021 Braves, and the 2023 Diamondbacks were fighting for their playoff lives and kept that mentality through the Postseason, got timely, clutch hits and did their job when it mattered for the most part. I don’t think the Dodgers have that mentality as a team right now and they’re going to have to do something to fix that
Not necessarily true, Braves played hard till the end against Mets last year and won the division only a day before the end of the season. Both teams were eliminated in the first series
I'm not a Dodger fan, but i take issue w with people saying 2020 was a fake season. Everyone had the same challenges and Dodgers won. I agree I would be disappointed about not getting a parade, but the ring wouldn't be less legit.
I swear people purposely ignore so many factors that apply to their own team being involved in 2020 playoffs lol they ignore how hard it was to win too it’s kinda ridiculous.
@@ChristianHernandez-ky1rkThey can win a 60 game Mickey Mouse season but not a full 162 game season, it really says a lot. They can’t handle the full schedule going into October, with actual fans in the stands 💀 not cardboard cutouts
It definitely says a lot that they can't win under normal circumstances, They had 3 years to prove us that it wasn't just because covid and they CHOKED EVERY SINGLE TIME
iTalk, my brother in Christ. Long time viewer, first time commenter. First I wanna say, I love your content, I watch all of your videos and subscribe to all of your social media accounts, your insight into baseball is unmatched by many. I also wanna state that I am a big Dodgers fan, hell the interior of my car is custom with LA blue and LA stitched into my headrests. I agree with 99% of what you said, but calling the 2020 season a “fake season” rubbed my the wrong way. Every team, every club and every player had the same opportunity to win that year. 60 games (however not 162) was given to every team. The Dodgers weren’t given some special consideration or leg up on every other team. It was a level playing field for everyone. I celebrate that 2020 win, and yes if they had won before or after, it would beef that title up. But calling it a fake season is wrong. Anyway, that’s my two cents. Like I said, love your content! Keep up the good work, I look forward to seeing more of your stuff. Much love -A jaded Dodgers fan lol.
The MLB season is a grind. That's why winning titles is difficult. Just because 2020 was the only ring your team has managed since the 80s doesn't mean they count like the others. Might as well have been sponsored by Fisher Price. Winning on the road and winning in front of the crowd matters. The Dodgers did none of that in 2020. That's why they don't even feel satisfied with it. Your post is just cope.
As an Astros fan playing devil's advocate: never understood why giving the Dodgers crap is a thing. Didn't the Braves go to the playoffs a bunch of times in the 90s and only win 1 WS? Shorten season or not they still won
@@emerald3331 Regardless of who won in 2020 it was gonna be a gimmick ring and just stop.... you didn't win a ring in 2017 for the same reasons y'all never do shit in the playoffs. YALL CANT HIT AT HOME IN THE PLAYOFFS 😂. You won't be able to provide any evidence of cheating in the playoffs and you CAN NOT honestly deny y'all could've won IF YALL ACTUALLY HIT at home.
This guy seems not to understand that, get to " the October season" ,first you need to win during the regular season. I think most of us Dodger fans had it in our hearts that we were not going to go too far because of the lack of pitching. I just didn't think that it was going to happen so fast. True Dodger fan forever!
#EmbraceTheChaos I will forever be proud of the progress that this Diamondbacks team has gone through. From the absolute nightmare that was the 2021 season to this.... This feels pretty goddamn good and here's to more memories in the future with this core.
Yeah, keeping up with the DBacks for the lean years, looking for something (anything) to be excited about, really did a number on my mental health lol. It was borderline (if not actual) psychological torture Fortunately, it gave me reason to deep dive on MiLB baseball and helped me win a good amount of money on daily Draft Kings lineups by picking cheap "unknown" players. That payout on the Corbin Carroll RotY bet is going to be nice, also. If the Phils win the CS, I won't be too upset, because DBacks weren't supposed to be there; if the DBacks win? Not only will I be ecstatic about making it to the WS, but that +32000 line I put money on before the season started will make it all the sweeter lol.
@@ShiroiKiba Trust me, I was born on the day the Diamondbacks won the World Series, which was 11/04/2001 in Game 7. I've seen the peaks and dark valleys of this entire franchise.
@manzac112 the only bad thing about being born on that day, is it means you weren't conscious enough to experience it; I was in 3rd grade at the time that WS happened. I'll say that when AZ fans show out for a celebration, they SHOW OUT. Here's to hoping you get an early birthday present this year.
I was born day after Randy Johnsons perfect game and have loved the D-Backs my whole life. Though I am now in Virginia, I am thru and thru a D-Back. So great seeing this franchise winning after these down years. Here is to hoping we get to the World Series. @@ShiroiKiba
Well I remember the inaugural yea and the 2001 WS and the ups and downs but this win was magical in the fashion they did it can’t wait to see the NLCS. GO DBACKS
If there is one thing the Dodgers need to invest more on, it's a psychiatric team of doctors because with all the success you have, you choke epically. There had been players that were clutch in their old teams only to come to the Dodgers and look measly now (Betts, Freeman) and the vice versa were chokers for the team then leave and look better than ever in the postseason (Corey Seager and Trea Turner currently). It's like they invest in basically everything else to be good/great but not in the psychology end of things. It's where you got guys like Kerchoke constantly throwing like a AA player in the major leagues or have guys like Max Muncy go figuratively blind in at-bats and strike out a lot more than they already have in the regular season. I think this is going to be a very unpopular move, but firing Andrew Friedman will be the necessary step moving forward or else they will just do more of the same regular season success, postseason flameout. Something is not right with the organization here if everyone just seems okay with falling short.
This is why being a Phillies Fan is somewhat easier than being a Braves or Dodgers fan. Because we might not go to the Playoffs often but when we do we go on a run.
Here in LA, we have more faith in the Lakers than the Dodgers because the Lakers have been down for a bit, but 17 titles show when it’s crunch time they show up. While dodgers always let us down💔💔
There's no way anyone is going to convince me at this point that it's anything but tight-butts syndrome. They're in their own heads so much, and that first 'hit' of the series that bounced out of the CF's glove just exacerbated the butt tightness.
The Dodgers have averaged 106 wins the last three seasons while winning a total of one playoff series. Meanwhile, the Phillies have averaged 20 fewer regular season wins but have won 5 playoff series. The Dodgers are built to win in the regular season. The Phillies are built to win in the playoffs.
Saying this as a dodger fan, the the dodgers and this year the braves especially, isthe reason why it doesnt matter what you did in the regular season once you make the playoffs, anybody can beat anybody...
Baseball is the most random sport of all time. A super bowl usually has a clear favorite, but anything can happen in the first round of the MLB playoffs
On a serious note, I was so numb of the failure of this team last year, that when they went down 2-0 this time around. I just stopped giving a crap. I took a nap during game 3..and what do you know when I wake up they were down 4-2 in the 8th and of course Mookie and Freddie were 0 fer. Just went back to sleep. Just don't care anymore because they're a broken record.
As a dodgers fan: 2019, lost to 93 win WC Nationals in the DS 2021, lost to 88 win WC Braves in the CS 2022, lost to 89 win WC Padres in the DS 2023, lost to 84 win WC DBacks in the DS ... pain... BUT... In their defense -> 2016, lost to eventual WS champion Cubs in the CS. 2017, lost to WS Champion (& cheaters) Astros in the WS. 2018, lost to WS Champion (& cheaters) Redsox in the WS. 2019, lost to eventual WS Champion Nationals in the DS. 2021, lost to eventual WS Champion Braves in the CS.
I am a diehard Padres fan. I used to be just fine with Dodgers. However, they became so "dominant" in the regular seasons, that their players and their fanbase just became obnoxiously loud and annoying and since then, I so much dislike them. No wonder why other fanbases gather and support whoever is playing against them and celebrates as a victory of our own. Of course as a fan, I understand the pain, but also to an extent, I am glad they are going through that. They deserve it. They should not even have the face to call us "frauds" when they are the literal embodiement of the word.
I’m a dodgers and mariners fan and there’s so much disappointment from both of them. But I do have to say that having a team that normally makes the playoffs and doesn’t win it all is a lot less disappointing than having a team that has a 21 year drought and then doesn’t make it to the post season again. Makes you think that there’s another 21 year drought. Anyway it’s better to consistently get into the postseason than never make it at all.
Giants fan here, Dodgers and Kershaw choketober is my favorite holiday! Over the past decade, it has gone from surprising to funny to just sad. Love to see it.
As an Angel's fan I agree. For every time I've been called a fa**ot by total strangers, for every opposing fan I've seen get jumped and beat up, I couldn't be happier to see this fanbase suffer.
@@dashawnballard52 no team will ever get the ohtani that played this year. By the time he pitches again he’ll be around 32 years old. Any team that signs him to a 10 year 500 million dollar deal is shooting themselves in the foot for a decade I HOPE the dodgers sign him. Thanks for proving dodger fans are punk bitches tho. Great choke job this year
Yup, I’m a Dodgers fan. Been one for 58 years. Went to my first game at Dodger Stadium two years after the park opened when I was six. Drysdale pitched that game. They beat St. Louis, 4-2. In the last ten years I’ve tried to be positive when we make the playoffs but I avoid getting my hopes up. The end of the year in Dodger Town is a different kind of pain.
As a Padres fan I find it hilarious that some LA fans clown on us for celebrating our NLDS win last year meanwhile they continue to celebrate despite years in the postseason with uninterrupted failure
@MasterOfTheObvious35 2020? the exhibition year? I will say they should have probably had it in 2017. Regardless there's everything to be proud of my hometown team for, it seems you're upset that I love watching my fav team play rain or shine
2020 was tailor-made for the dodgers. They are always super dominant when in mid season form and after a 60 game season they were basically in mid season form. They always run out of gas after 162.
This whole “Dodgers will do it next year” thing has been going on since like the 1930’s or 40’s. Honestly, I feel all the pain. Tbh I feel like if they didn’t win it in 2020 they would be crapped on even more since that year was so short. That being said it still doesn’t help things, but I always have to have that hope even with the knowledge that they piss it away constantly. It’s the way things are at this point. Great video!
There pitchers suck this postseason. We live in California it should be easy to find new pitchers here. Also they let go of really good players last year. Justin turner Cody Bellinger Trea turner we could've kept at least one.
Baseball fan here. The last two playoffs were disappointing for the Dodgers. But when you look at the Dodgers playoff “failures” since 2013 (what a tremendous run), you can’t be too disappointed. Losing in the World Series and league championship series is nothing on which to harp. The success the Dodgers enjoyed in those regular seasons cannot be considered “wasted.” Then look at the regular season results against the teams that defeated the Dodgers in those years when they exited early. Aside from the past two seasons, the teams that defeated the Dodgers in the playoffs played them tough during the respective regular seasons. It’s the playoffs. You’re not going to be playing 60-win teams. Ddgrs. W L R RA Pct. ATL 4 2 27 23 .667 WSN 4 3 30 27 .571 CHC 3 4 16 19 .429 NYM 3 4 19 33 .429 STL 4 3 25 14 .571 STL 4 3 30 27 .571
I can relate- I have been a Nationals fan since the beginning (2005) w/ 5 division titles & always got knocked out in the first round. Then, of course, came 2019!
as a Dodgers fan, thank you for this. it’s a cold slap in the face for sure. everyone has their opinions on 2020 and that’s fine of course. for me, i love the fact that i got to see them win it all 3 years ago and see Kersh finally get a ring especially, but until they win again (which i think they will in time), the jokes about 2020 will always be there and I understand that, but thank you for making this video. honestly they should have won multiple fucking titles with the teams they’ve had over the last decade…so until they do, the jokes will never stop and that dark cloud will never go away. this truly hurt to watch as a Dodgers fan, but it was a fantastically made video and the only thing that’s comforting for me is that the Braves got similar treatment from you. 😂 big fan of the channel! keep it up! 🤘🏻
2020 definitely counts. Especially when you consider that the Dodgers are actually owed an extra Championship after getting cheated by the Astros. But it's just an extremely unsatisfying one. No fans, no parade, some players missing because of Covid protocols. No one wants to win like that.
Badddd take lol the Astros beat you twice in your house including game 7 to clinch it. Also the system wasn’t used past the DS in ‘17 so don’t blame the Astros for your team phenomenally choking. Mickey mode
@@Flcl1993 lolz.Nice try. If Houston didn’t win that bonkers Game 5 with the possible cheating (13-12? Really??), then we win the series in 6. Not a good look to defend cheaters. Says a lot about you.
Actually now you think of it it went on the field and We lost that game And also we never stopped playing to get the goose off the field And now this year a ghost almost got hit by a baseball. I think it is a curse.
I’m sorry but that shortened season excuse is played out, people discredit the 2020 ring more than the 2017 astros rings which is CRAZY. 99 spurs, 83 redskins, 13 Heat all won in shortened seasons, do those fans still celebrate those banners?
right lmao notice how he didn’t even mention the scandal in 2017 or 2018☠️ we would’ve had another ring in 17 if it weren’t for the astros for 2018 i can’t say the same the red sox were unstoppable that year. however i think it’s crazy how this dude has no issue basically sayin the astros championship in 17 is more legitimate then the dodgers in 20… at the end of the day every team played hard for the goal at the end and no one said anything when the season started 🤷🏽♂️ i hate this narrative being spun but it’s been this way only because the DODGERS won it that year.
@@jay_verdugoyeah and in the 2020 postseason they were down 3-1 to the braves and people were saying “same ol dodgers” people were waiting for them to lose to use the choke excuse. But when they win it all the whole narrative changed to “it’s a fake season”
@@uppertroupe because the Dodgers are a front loaded season team and the whole 2020 season is a front loaded season. Also yeah Astros stole signs in the regular season same with the Red Socks yet they didnt need to use those to beat the Dodgers. Also the Red Socks have hurled the hints that the Dodgers around the same time were also cheating so go home clown.
So we are the A’s 89 World Series championship going to be stripped because they had the smash bros. Never? Ok then the 60 game season doesn’t mean shit when you had 2 teams with losing records make it to the playoffs which still has never happened in the history of the MLB
So many people want 2020 to be a real season but it just isn’t at all. Dodger fans only have two dumb arguments for that season and they repeat them endlessly “you only say it doesn’t count bc u didn’t win” or “every team had the same chance why shouldn’t it count”
And my response is that if the Astros won that World Series in 2020 with a Losing record which has never happened in the history of the MLB, hell no losing record team has ever made it to the playoff till that 2020 BS year says it all
That first part isn't completely wrong, you know good and well, that's if a team like the The Padres or Rays Won that World Series they would be defending It just Like Dodgers fans are doing it
The Dodgers should have been to the World Series at least 5 times in the last 10 years. They should've won it all at least 3 times. Yet all they can do is win the Series in the year that should be forgotten with a schedule of less than 70 games. When are they going to wake up and realize that Dave Roberts, who seems like a fine person, is not the guy? They are managing to turn a winning franchise into a joke, and I've never seen that before. They have the talent. Roberts is NOT a great manager and should be fired or promoted upstairs where he can do less damage.
I’m a a dodgers fan I used to pain in October we got to win a chip every year it’s some stupid reason manly Dave Roberts terrible coaching players not stepping up other teams just being better this season I blame what happened in June but it is what it is
It is definitely frustrating how the Dodgers shutdown in the postseason when it matters most. I still feel that they were cheated by the Asstros in the 2017 WS. Perhaps winning that WS would have changed the trajectory of the team's success in the postseason going forward as it would give the team the satisfaction and confidence they need to play better in the playoffs.
The 2010's and 2020's Dodgers ARE the 1990s/early 2000's Braves. The one World Series that both the Dodgers and Braves won were both in shortened seasons.
They let the Mickey Mouse World Series title go to their heads. I’m a Dodgers fan and even I’m willing to admit that 2020 didn’t count. In my opinion, this is how I felt after every year: 2013-Didn’t expect to make it to the LCS after missing the playoffs for 3 years. Sucked, but felt like a good season. 2014-sucked to lose in the first round, especially seeing Kershaw melt down in game 1 and giving up the moonshot in game 4 2015-back to back LDS losses sucked, but the Mets did go on to win the pennant. Blowing game 5 at home also hurt 2016-Felt like we were on the doorstep, but the Cubs were destined to win it all that year. 2017-Houston…. 2018- Barely won the division, should’ve lost to Milwaukee in the LCS, should’ve been tied 2-2 against a stacked Boston team, but weren’t going to win it all. 2019-Nationals pitching was too good, Kershaw blew game 5. 2021-Disappointing, but lost to a great team-potentially because Scherzer quit on us because he wanted the contract 2022-Pain 2023- As another comment said, want to see me do it again? I’ll cry if Kershaw retires because of this. I started following baseball as a 7 year old when he was a rookie. Everyone has a few athletes that define their childhood, and he’s at the top.
As a Giants fan I love seeing it, but will admit that as much as I used to hate Kershaw for his dominance against the Giants (and everyone else), I'll be sad to see him go. Amazing player and seems like a pretty great guy as well. He will have that "can't get it done in the postseason" asterisk though. First ballot hall of famer nonetheless.
Okay come on, if the Diamondbacks won that World Series in 2020, I would have still cherished. MLB officially sanctioned that regular season and the playoffs, where everyone had a chance to win a title. So, that title will count.
@@manzac112 Not only was it a fair game, there was 16 playoff spots making it the hardest playoffs we are ever going to see. Sure it was a shortened season but there have been previous seasons in the past that have counted, only reason this one "doesn't count" is because MLB's most hated team won it all.
Its counts. Especially when you consider that the Dodgers are actually owed an extra Championship after getting cheated by the Astros. But it's just an extremely unsatisfying one. No fans, no parade, some players missing because of Covid protocols. No one wants to win like that.
I feel like winning a division should not be celebrated like they just won the world series. It’s weird seeing all the celebration only to lose in a round or two
It should be celebrated if your the Pirates or Royals but not by a rich stacked talent filled franchise like the Dodgers, for them its expected.
Even winning the pennant isn't worthy of a champagne party and all that IMO.
"Second place is just first loser"
That’s all the celebrating they get to do lol and 60 game seasons don’t count lol

As a Dodgers fan, this is a special kind of pain. It’s like we signed a deal with the Devil to get away from the McCourts, but the price we paid was for us to be constantly shown a golden carrot that leads us off a cliff every year!
Still, more season wins and post-season games than any other team in the last 11 seasons not named the Trashtros.
@@outofcompliance1639yeah but the astros can say they have made the world series more then them. Something I noticed about the Dodgers is that they are an amazing season but post season they crash.
@@RayzeCruxisyeah they are probably still cheating
@joeyakers726 possibly and Dodgers just suck 😂😂
excellent analogy bro! and i understand why dodger fans are extra whiny about that 2017 astros victory at dodger stadium. You guys arern't mad that the astros cheated to get to that finale, it's the pent-up frustration of not being able to win a WS since the 80's. It sucks even more because that 2017, you played it at home the dodgers had the momentum and heartbreak still happened.
After 2013, the Diamondbacks had guards around their pool in 2017 when they got swept in the NLDS by the Dodgers to prevent them from doing it again. Seeing the Diamondbacks turn the tables all these years later was poetic.
😂 it’s plain disrespectful to do that. I’m rooting for the sneks, gotta support my boys Sewald/Marte/Carroll
@@dukedubsorry we couldn't sweep the stros for yall
Yeah, and remember, it's Arizona...so they're probably armed too. ;)
The teams were completely different by 2017 and obviously this year too. It might be poetic for the fans but as far as the players go it’s completely irrelevant and any dodgers team since 2015 would not have jumped in there
Not to mention that some of the Dodger players even admitted to PEEING in it, as well!
Key words: “when it comes to the regular season”

@@UHOH_415 😂 I wanna see that happen
That Dodgers team just mentally checks out after the end of the 162. That's the only reason they won in 2020. If we had a 140 game season they'd probably be champs every year. They're like a salary worker on hour 40 of 50 for the week.
So I have to look at the common denominator through all of those years and change it. I don’t know how many more times we have to see Dave not light a fire under his team when it matters most.
True, they just burn themselves out every year. I wish there was a mid-year championship series.
@bdoff23 yes, this year the performance by starting pitching or lack thereof was epic.
No offense and Dave roberts did the best he could do from the bench. But you keep expecting different results with same coach.
And in 2020 they year the dodgers won they ALMOST DIDN'T lol. Had to comeback epic against the braves but that is rarely brought up by Dodgers critics
Seriously I don’t think Dave Roberts is the best manager for them. Rangers got the right manager in Bochy and they’re in the ALCS since 2011.
How did they get to the NLCS in 2021? You are not a Dodger fan...we've been bumped out of the 1st round 5 out of 11 times...meaning we more than half the time we've go out of the first round...you have to be a new fan to be this spoiled.
As a Giants fan, I’m definitely fine with making the post-season less often but going farther when we do. The 2010-2014 run was magic, and while I was bummed to see them lose to the Dodgers in 2021 (I had tickets to see them in round 2 if they’d won), I still remember the three rings from before, so it’s fine. They’ll be good again some day 😂
2014 was a magical season, I remember the Dodgers getting KOed by the Cards minutes before the Giants then dispatched the Nats. Bizarre that even going from Mattingly to Roberts, the Dodgers keep losing in the playoffs for largely the same reasons annually.
Like 2021?
As a giants fan Farhan and Larry baer destroyed this team and we are wayyyy far behind the dodgers or anyone in the division. They finished in 4th yet they were in 2nd place with 2 games behind the dodgers at the trade deadline that tells me how terrible Farhan is
I feel the same way
Shiiiii yall won 3 world series in 4 seasons. Yall have more power over them. Lol
LA can't say nothing about yall. Lol
As a Dodgers fan I lost all hope this season. I went into these playoffs expecting them to disappoint and I wasn’t surprised at all
Yeah, the season was a disaster for the roster but still, they managed 100 wins. Got to wonder how they did that with all the issues?
@@outofcompliance1639 Yeah you have a point. With how bad the starting rotation was and with all the rookie and veteran players in the lineup it’s a miracle they made it to 100 wins
they lost walker buhler julio urias 2 important guys. but yet won 100 games
@@andresramirez4469 They also lost Dustin May, Tony Gonslin, and Syndergaard was a complete bust. Not to mention Pepiot was out most of the season and Kershaw was out several weeks. Basically they had no starting pitching other than rookies.
Then you weren't paying attention. Our pitching staff had been obliterated. We're relying on rookies and Lance Lynn... if you thought we had a chance you didn't pay attention.
My grandpa is 58 years old and has been a life long dodger fan and after every year we have seen them get knocked out in the playoffs year after year hes always said things like "next year will be our year" or "It just wasn't their time", but after we saw them get swept by Arizona he just said "I can't say anything except that I guess their just not meant to win in October". Its been a frusturating decade for dodger fans like me and my grandpa.
It hasnt been a frustrating decade for u stfu ur just a privileged fan
When an NHL team qualifies for the postseason, wins their division, a round (or two), or their conference, there is no celebration. Most cases, a big handshake line forms, and the opponents congratulate the victors. The winning team does not pop champagne until they win the Stanley Cup...
The Dodgers, or really any division winner at that, should follow the NHL's example. Save the champagne and celebration until you win the whole thing...
Right on!
It's not 162 games either.
Yet people are happy with pimping homeruns and showing up their opponents...but you can't celebrate a team accomplishment? Seems weird.
This team wasn't even supposed to win the division this year, San Diego was. Hell I even saw a few genuine predictions having them finish 3rd in the division. So the fact that they not only won the division by 16 games, but also won 100 games again, all in a so called "rebuilding year" is impressive in its own right. I never expected this team to win the WS this year- just look at the starting rotation by the end... Yikes- but I did expect them to do more than they did. And while this is less than fun, there have definitely been worse years in comparison to this when it comes to failing in October. 2015, 2017, 2019, and 2022 all come to mind.
This was actually an overachieving team. No pitching whatsoever at any point during the season. Projected to win 86 games and lose the division to the Padres. It’s amazing they got this far to begin with. Nobody in the entire league would’ve guess the Dodgers winning 100 games.
yeah exactly. the dodgers with their injuries should not have achieved 100 wins at fuckin all. fans ideas are just that, ideas. not facts
Whatever helps you sleep at night 😂. Look as a Braves fan I couldn’t agree more when this guy completely roasted my team a couple days ago. The fact is this team had the second best record in the NL, and should have won this series. My team at least won a playoff game. We also had injuries to a lot of our pitchers this year but I will not use that as an excuse. At this point I agree with everything this guy said about my team. The regular season doesn’t mean anything anymore. We (Braves fans) expect to be in the postseason, and we also expect to advance more often than not. Anything less is unacceptable in my eyes.
That’s one way of looking at it and I agree. But the dbacks were even word on paper than the dodgers and they completely blew us out the water
Such a bad take. You had 2 MVP candidates completely choke in the playoffs. You had to put up just 5 runs twice and choked
@@MrBobby13531i mean true but we didnt have gonsolin, urias, buehler, or may

This is exactly how I feel as a Packers fan. Sure we have had a ton of playoff seasons in recent memory, but the last time we won it all was in Aaron Rodgers' second season under center. It's pitiful. Tbh I'm kinda glad he's not on the team anymore so that we can try to build something else.
Still better than my Browns!! 😂
Rodgers won it all with the Packers in his third season. Rodgers first season as starter was 2008, and they went 6-10.
Pack would've taken it in 2014, but someone couldn't handle the onside kick.
@@petercena9497I think pats beat them in the bowl imo
As a diehard lifetime Dodger fan, I have been incredibly frustrated for years now. The aughts were horrible with McKook and Co. and now this crap. I felt nothing when they 'won' in '20 because we know they can play great baseball for 70 or so games but for 163+... that takes a better team than what we have right now. I don't pretend to know the answers but I truly believe it begins with more youth and maybe even a new coach. We need energy and not just flacid, stoic guys who lack passion in October.
Dod you forget LA went to 3 WS in 4 years getting and the other teams got caught cheating? What other non cheating teams have made 3 WS in that time?

I’ve just subjected myself to even more pain by watching this whole video lol
Go dodgers! **sobbing**
MLB needs to reinstate 1 wild card team rule to play the best record of the division in each league.
Fun fact I’m 2017 the diamondbacks put security at the pool so the dodgers couldn’t celebrate in the pool
I've been saying this for a few years now speaking as a former Tigers fan, the Dave Roberts era Dodgers are the new Jim Leyland era Tigers. Dominant during the regular season only to choke in the most crucial playoff games. This latest series was reminiscent of the 2012 Tigers who only scored 6 runs in the World Series by a team that included Miguel Cabrera, Prince Fielder, and Victor Martinez in their primes plus Jhonny Peralta and Austin Jackson.
That 2012 Tigers team also had a great pitching staff.
They also lost to the Cardinals weakest WS team.
Victor Martinez didn’t play in 2012
They are the current version of the 90’s Braves. All this winning in the regular season, yet comes up short come October.

As a Rockets fan, I feel the same way. No one in Houston cares or even really thinks about how good the Rockets were in the regular season since there's no championship to show for it. Hell, they set the record for most 3 pointers only to choke when it mattered
That stretch was absolutely brutal
I know it’s not the same but the astros had a tainted title for 2017. So they went out and won in 2022. The dodgers have an asterisks of a title and can’t back it up with every year being worse and worse of an exit
Exactly! Everyone knows 2017 and 2020 championships have asterisks on them but the Astros at least got a real one in 2022, Dodgers have not.
The dodgers aren’t choking, it’s just a crap shoot… 12 teams make the postseason. So after 11 years of postseason appearances they should statistically have 1 ring.
Nice excuse
Somebody posted a Dave Chapelle meme that fits the Dodgers perfectly.

The Dodgers of the 2010's and early 2020's, are the new Atlanta Braves from the 90's. Sustained regular season domination, completely owning their division, and a single World Series win. That's baseball.

They still haven’t won a World Series in a 162 game, non-neutral site season with fans in the stands during this window. Just saying.
The Dodgers have won one WS since 1965 when playing a full regular season schedule. The 1981 season was a strike shorten season and they added extra playoff teams.
@@db-rc5fryeah that is wild...this franchise having 1 real title since 65 is nuts...they have not won a real title since 88..I guess we can count the 81 title but still

My theory is that these teams do not have the killer instinct mindset. The 2022 Phillies, the 2021 Braves, and the 2023 Diamondbacks were fighting for their playoff lives and kept that mentality through the Postseason, got timely, clutch hits and did their job when it mattered for the most part.
I don’t think the Dodgers have that mentality as a team right now and they’re going to have to do something to fix that
Not necessarily true, Braves played hard till the end against Mets last year and won the division only a day before the end of the season. Both teams were eliminated in the first series

I also wanna state that I am a big Dodgers fan, hell the interior of my car is custom with LA blue and LA stitched into my headrests. I agree with 99% of what you said, but calling the 2020 season a “fake season” rubbed my the wrong way. Every team, every club and every player had the same opportunity to win that year. 60 games (however not 162) was given to every team. The Dodgers weren’t given some special consideration or leg up on every other team. It was a level playing field for everyone. I celebrate that 2020 win, and yes if they had won before or after, it would beef that title up. But calling it a fake season is wrong. Anyway, that’s my two cents.

The MLB season is a grind. That's why winning titles is difficult. Just because 2020 was the only ring your team has managed since the 80s doesn't mean they count like the others. Might as well have been sponsored by Fisher Price.
Winning on the road and winning in front of the crowd matters. The Dodgers did none of that in 2020. That's why they don't even feel satisfied with it. Your post is just cope.

I will forever be proud of the progress that this Diamondbacks team has gone through. From the absolute nightmare that was the 2021 season to this.... This feels pretty goddamn good and here's to more memories in the future with this core.
Yeah, keeping up with the DBacks for the lean years, looking for something (anything) to be excited about, really did a number on my mental health lol. It was borderline (if not actual) psychological torture
Fortunately, it gave me reason to deep dive on MiLB baseball and helped me win a good amount of money on daily Draft Kings lineups by picking cheap "unknown" players. That payout on the Corbin Carroll RotY bet is going to be nice, also.
If the Phils win the CS, I won't be too upset, because DBacks weren't supposed to be there; if the DBacks win? Not only will I be ecstatic about making it to the WS, but that +32000 line I put money on before the season started will make it all the sweeter lol.

Well I remember the inaugural yea and the 2001 WS and the ups and downs but this win was magical in the fashion they did it can’t wait to see the NLCS. GO DBACKS
If there is one thing the Dodgers need to invest more on, it's a psychiatric team of doctors because with all the success you have, you choke epically. There had been players that were clutch in their old teams only to come to the Dodgers and look measly now (Betts, Freeman) and the vice versa were chokers for the team then leave and look better than ever in the postseason (Corey Seager and Trea Turner currently). It's like they invest in basically everything else to be good/great but not in the psychology end of things. It's where you got guys like Kerchoke constantly throwing like a AA player in the major leagues or have guys like Max Muncy go figuratively blind in at-bats and strike out a lot more than they already have in the regular season. I think this is going to be a very unpopular move, but firing Andrew Friedman will be the necessary step moving forward or else they will just do more of the same regular season success, postseason flameout. Something is not right with the organization here if everyone just seems okay with falling short.
This is why being a Phillies Fan is somewhat easier than being a Braves or Dodgers fan. Because we might not go to the Playoffs often but when we do we go on a run.
Here in LA, we have more faith in the Lakers than the Dodgers because the Lakers have been down for a bit, but 17 titles show when it’s crunch time they show up. While dodgers always let us down💔💔
There's no way anyone is going to convince me at this point that it's anything but tight-butts syndrome. They're in their own heads so much, and that first 'hit' of the series that bounced out of the CF's glove just exacerbated the butt tightness.
The Dodgers have averaged 106 wins the last three seasons while winning a total of one playoff series. Meanwhile, the Phillies have averaged 20 fewer regular season wins but have won 5 playoff series. The Dodgers are built to win in the regular season. The Phillies are built to win in the playoffs.
Saying this as a dodger fan, the the dodgers and this year the braves especially, isthe reason why it doesnt matter what you did in the regular season once you make the playoffs, anybody can beat anybody...
Baseball is the most random sport of all time. A super bowl usually has a clear favorite, but anything can happen in the first round of the MLB playoffs
On a serious note, I was so numb of the failure of this team last year, that when they went down 2-0 this time around. I just stopped giving a crap. I took a nap during game 3..and what do you know when I wake up they were down 4-2 in the 8th and of course Mookie and Freddie were 0 fer. Just went back to sleep. Just don't care anymore because they're a broken record.

I am a diehard Padres fan. I used to be just fine with Dodgers. However, they became so "dominant" in the regular seasons, that their players and their fanbase just became obnoxiously loud and annoying and since then, I so much dislike them. No wonder why other fanbases gather and support whoever is playing against them and celebrates as a victory of our own.
Of course as a fan, I understand the pain, but also to an extent, I am glad they are going through that. They deserve it.
They should not even have the face to call us "frauds" when they are the literal embodiement of the word.
we're basically PSG of baseball except with more history.
I’m a dodgers and mariners fan and there’s so much disappointment from both of them. But I do have to say that having a team that normally makes the playoffs and doesn’t win it all is a lot less disappointing than having a team that has a 21 year drought and then doesn’t make it to the post season again. Makes you think that there’s another 21 year drought. Anyway it’s better to consistently get into the postseason than never make it at all.
The Dodgers and Braves should face off in the battle of disappointments

Any team that signs him to a 10 year 500 million dollar deal is shooting themselves in the foot for a decade I HOPE the dodgers sign him. Thanks for proving dodger fans are punk bitches tho. Great choke job this year
Yup, I’m a Dodgers fan. Been one for 58 years. Went to my first game at Dodger Stadium two years after the park opened when I was six. Drysdale pitched that game. They beat St. Louis, 4-2. In the last ten years I’ve tried to be positive when we make the playoffs but I avoid getting my hopes up. The end of the year in Dodger Town is a different kind of pain.
Now do a video covering how the Astros keep winning year in and year out.
The MLB needs all teams under a salary cap, let’s see how these top market teams can take it.
As a Padres fan I find it hilarious that some LA fans clown on us for celebrating our NLDS win last year meanwhile they continue to celebrate despite years in the postseason with uninterrupted failure
@MasterOfTheObvious35 cry. We've been a broke franchise until we signed manny. I know you're upset you haven't had a world series win since 1988

@MasterOfTheObvious35 2020? the exhibition year? I will say they should have probably had it in 2017. Regardless there's everything to be proud of my hometown team for, it seems you're upset that I love watching my fav team play rain or shine
@MasterOfTheObvious35 damn bud you totally got me by repeating yourself for the third time
2020 was tailor-made for the dodgers. They are always super dominant when in mid season form and after a 60 game season they were basically in mid season form. They always run out of gas after 162.
i agree with you ,going the fact that 2020 was a diluted season, that world series win is meaningless
The amount of Braves and Dodgers fans I've seen complaining about the playoff format is absurd. The Astros did fine, you guys just choked.
This whole “Dodgers will do it next year” thing has been going on since like the 1930’s or 40’s. Honestly, I feel all the pain. Tbh I feel like if they didn’t win it in 2020 they would be crapped on even more since that year was so short. That being said it still doesn’t help things, but I always have to have that hope even with the knowledge that they piss it away constantly. It’s the way things are at this point. Great video!
There pitchers suck this postseason. We live in California it should be easy to find new pitchers here. Also they let go of really good players last year. Justin turner Cody Bellinger Trea turner we could've kept at least one.
Baseball fan here.
The last two playoffs were disappointing for the Dodgers. But when you look at the Dodgers playoff “failures” since 2013 (what a tremendous run), you can’t be too disappointed.
Losing in the World Series and league championship series is nothing on which to harp. The success the Dodgers enjoyed in those regular seasons cannot be considered “wasted.”
Then look at the regular season results against the teams that defeated the Dodgers in those years when they exited early.
Aside from the past two seasons, the teams that defeated the Dodgers in the playoffs played them tough during the respective regular seasons.
It’s the playoffs. You’re not going to be playing 60-win teams.

I can relate- I have been a Nationals fan since the beginning (2005) w/ 5 division titles & always got knocked out in the first round. Then, of course, came 2019!
The dodgers won in 2020 but they had longer success better teams than you guys who we expected to lose
as a Dodgers fan, thank you for this. it’s a cold slap in the face for sure. everyone has their opinions on 2020 and that’s fine of course. for me, i love the fact that i got to see them win it all 3 years ago and see Kersh finally get a ring especially, but until they win again (which i think they will in time), the jokes about 2020 will always be there and I understand that, but thank you for making this video. honestly they should have won multiple fucking titles with the teams they’ve had over the last decade…so until they do, the jokes will never stop and that dark cloud will never go away. this truly hurt to watch as a Dodgers fan, but it was a fantastically made video and the only thing that’s comforting for me is that the Braves got similar treatment from you. 😂 big fan of the channel! keep it up! 🤘🏻
What about the 81 strike season. That year was short too.
And who won the World Series then? Why it’s the Dodgers! Maybe we should have strikes every season 😛
@@jasonfire3434 💀💀
I’m a dodger fan and you pretty much said what everyone else is thinking and you’re absolutely right 😢
2020 definitely counts. Especially when you consider that the Dodgers are actually owed an extra Championship after getting cheated by the Astros. But it's just an extremely unsatisfying one. No fans, no parade, some players missing because of Covid protocols. No one wants to win like that.
Badddd take lol the Astros beat you twice in your house including game 7 to clinch it. Also the system wasn’t used past the DS in ‘17 so don’t blame the Astros for your team phenomenally choking. Mickey mode
@@Flcl1993 lolz.Nice try. If Houston didn’t win that bonkers Game 5 with the possible cheating (13-12? Really??), then we win the series in 6. Not a good look to defend cheaters. Says a lot about you.
@@jbulletc once again dipshit both the book and the mlb confirmed the cheating was not used past the DS. Try again
I love how passionate you get when it's postseason time. And I agree, 2023 has been a crazy year baseball-wise.
Anyone else remember the goose that flew on the field in the NLDS? Maybe it's a curse
Actually now you think of it it went on the field and We lost that game And also we never stopped playing to get the goose off the field And now this year a ghost almost got hit by a baseball. I think it is a curse.

Maybe the curse of the nuns will last a century.
The rally goose . Padre fans had the rally goose on shirts and signs . I loved it.
Dodgers in 2020 is better than being the Montreal Expos in 1994.
I’m sorry but that shortened season excuse is played out, people discredit the 2020 ring more than the 2017 astros rings which is CRAZY. 99 spurs, 83 redskins, 13 Heat all won in shortened seasons, do those fans still celebrate those banners?
right lmao notice how he didn’t even mention the scandal in 2017 or 2018☠️ we would’ve had another ring in 17 if it weren’t for the astros for 2018 i can’t say the same the red sox were unstoppable that year. however i think it’s crazy how this dude has no issue basically sayin the astros championship in 17 is more legitimate then the dodgers in 20… at the end of the day every team played hard for the goal at the end and no one said anything when the season started 🤷🏽♂️ i hate this narrative being spun but it’s been this way only because the DODGERS won it that year.
@@jay_verdugoyeah and in the 2020 postseason they were down 3-1 to the braves and people were saying “same ol dodgers” people were waiting for them to lose to use the choke excuse. But when they win it all the whole narrative changed to “it’s a fake season”
@@uppertroupe because the Dodgers are a front loaded season team and the whole 2020 season is a front loaded season. Also yeah Astros stole signs in the regular season same with the Red Socks yet they didnt need to use those to beat the Dodgers. Also the Red Socks have hurled the hints that the Dodgers around the same time were also cheating so go home clown.
Lmao 2020*
So we are the A’s 89 World Series championship going to be stripped because they had the smash bros. Never? Ok then the 60 game season doesn’t mean shit when you had 2 teams with losing records make it to the playoffs which still has never happened in the history of the MLB
Mookie and Freddie have disappeared the last 2 years. As a Dodgers fan i'm too used to this. It's sick
Mookie wasn’t much of a postseason player in Boston either.
So many people want 2020 to be a real season but it just isn’t at all.
Dodger fans only have two dumb arguments for that season and they repeat them endlessly
“you only say it doesn’t count bc u didn’t win” or “every team had the same chance why shouldn’t it count”
And my response is that if the Astros won that World Series in 2020 with a Losing record which has never happened in the history of the MLB, hell no losing record team has ever made it to the playoff till that 2020 BS year says it all
you’re a padres fan i bet and didn’t you see your parade when yall made it 😭 obv it meant something to you until you got eliminated
That first part isn't completely wrong, you know good and well, that's if a team like the The Padres or Rays Won that World Series they would be defending It just Like Dodgers fans are doing it
Padres fans are absolutely not allowed to talk about 2020 same goes for Braves.
2020 was a joke
The Dodgers should have been to the World Series at least 5 times in the last 10 years. They should've won it all at least 3 times. Yet all they can do is win the Series in the year that should be forgotten with a schedule of less than 70 games. When are they going to wake up and realize that Dave Roberts, who seems like a fine person, is not the guy? They are managing to turn a winning franchise into a joke, and I've never seen that before. They have the talent. Roberts is NOT a great manager and should be fired or promoted upstairs where he can do less damage.
As an Astro fan I'm here for the Dodger dumping 🤣🤣🤣
That picture is gold. For that alone you earned a like.👍
I’m a a dodgers fan I used to pain in October we got to win a chip every year it’s some stupid reason manly Dave Roberts terrible coaching players not stepping up other teams just being better this season I blame what happened in June but it is what it is
It is definitely frustrating how the Dodgers shutdown in the postseason when it matters most. I still feel that they were cheated by the Asstros in the 2017 WS. Perhaps winning that WS would have changed the trajectory of the team's success in the postseason going forward as it would give the team the satisfaction and confidence they need to play better in the playoffs.
bros taking shots at every team😂
The 2010's and 2020's Dodgers ARE the 1990s/early 2000's Braves. The one World Series that both the Dodgers and Braves won were both in shortened seasons.
They let the Mickey Mouse World Series title go to their heads. I’m a Dodgers fan and even I’m willing to admit that 2020 didn’t count. In my opinion, this is how I felt after every year:
2013-Didn’t expect to make it to the LCS after missing the playoffs for 3 years. Sucked, but felt like a good season.
2014-sucked to lose in the first round, especially seeing Kershaw melt down in game 1 and giving up the moonshot in game 4
2015-back to back LDS losses sucked, but the Mets did go on to win the pennant. Blowing game 5 at home also hurt
2016-Felt like we were on the doorstep, but the Cubs were destined to win it all that year.
2017-Houston….
2018- Barely won the division, should’ve lost to Milwaukee in the LCS, should’ve been tied 2-2 against a stacked Boston team, but weren’t going to win it all.
2019-Nationals pitching was too good, Kershaw blew game 5.
2021-Disappointing, but lost to a great team-potentially because Scherzer quit on us because he wanted the contract
2022-Pain
2023- As another comment said, want to see me do it again?
I’ll cry if Kershaw retires because of this. I started following baseball as a 7 year old when he was a rookie. Everyone has a few athletes that define their childhood, and he’s at the top.
As a Giants fan I love seeing it, but will admit that as much as I used to hate Kershaw for his dominance against the Giants (and everyone else), I'll be sad to see him go. Amazing player and seems like a pretty great guy as well. He will have that "can't get it done in the postseason" asterisk though. First ballot hall of famer nonetheless.
Okay come on, if the Diamondbacks won that World Series in 2020, I would have still cherished. MLB officially sanctioned that regular season and the playoffs, where everyone had a chance to win a title. So, that title will count.
@@manzac112 Not only was it a fair game, there was 16 playoff spots making it the hardest playoffs we are ever going to see. Sure it was a shortened season but there have been previous seasons in the past that have counted, only reason this one "doesn't count" is because MLB's most hated team won it all.
Its counts. Especially when you consider that the Dodgers are actually owed an extra Championship after getting cheated by the Astros. But it's just an extremely unsatisfying one. No fans, no parade, some players missing because of Covid protocols. No one wants to win like that.
@@jbulletc Game 2 and Game 7 in 2017 say otherwise.
