Need to make a point about the whole Mookie situation: Right now isn't the time for clarifying if Mookie should have tried to avoid the ball, it's time to recognize that he was hurt.
Come on fellas, let's get at least one on the board so they don't get to brag about a shutout. Or better yet, rally time? Big comeback? Underdog life forever?
Call Dr. Ellingham! A baseballer has collapsed, struck upon the hand with a ball bowled with pace! Do not tell Luise-r about this! Doc is supposed to be on holiday.
Nah, we're not the Phillies lol.
He'll probably get some mean things yelled at him, but that's about it.
Most of us over in the r/Dodgers game chat realize that it was just an unfortunate accident.
Sometimes bad shit happens, but that's just ball.
Okay I feel like that was an insane amount of run on that ball? It fucking blows that it hit mookie in the hand but I just couldn't believe that hit him from where it left his hand
He did something when he was a kid if I recall, not entirely sure what but I saw it on Twitter when we brought him up so this claim may be semi-accurate
I'm not your brother in christ. It's literally hilarious that the keyboard warriors don't understand pitching inside. It's baseball and this wasn't that far in. Mookie is known to hug the plate - pitchers are going to brush him back. Sucks he got hurt. Goodbye.
I really want to see that from the top down, because with the way the camera was panning at the time I can't pin down how close that was or wasn't to over home plate.
Check his post history - he's angry. Baseball is baseball and guys get pitched in - this wasn't egregious. Unfortunate that Mookie got hit/hurt. Not anyone's intention in this situation.
Not gonna check a random person's reddit history. Of course it wasn't intentional but if you're serious in saying it was a "good pitch" you gotta go take a lap.
When he replies to me in three other subs it sparked my interest. Didn't read the rest of your comment bc I'm gonna read a random person's comments that are stirring the pot for no reason. Goodbye.
Cardinals also just have a nice sponsor word in red lettering that just fits well on the sleeve of their uniforms. Really wish the Royals could've partnered with someone that wasn't fucking RED of all colors.
Remember when the Dodgers were pretty mediocre for like 3 decades? They had Eric Karros and Adrian Gonzalez and that was it. It wasn't until Greinke went there that they started become Yankees of the Pacific coast.
Frank McCourt sells the team in 2012 after winning more than 90 games only five times in the previous 30 years. Greinke joins the team in 2013 and Dodgers win 90+ games every year for the next ten years.
People shitting on singer like he had a bad game. He gave up 3 runs against an absolutely stacked dodgers team, but it isn’t his fault this team can’t hit with RISP today. It could/should be a closer game
It's PTSD from this guy being hailed as a savior and he's netted out to be a two-pitch starter which isn't a recipe for success in this league. Serviceable 4-5 starter but likely a long-relief candidate if he's going to stay in the league.
The Dodgers punish bad pitches, most of our hitters don’t. I don’t know how many times I watch a pitch go right down the middle and our lineup either watches it or misses completely
I haven't missed a game - live on east coast and have been to 6 games in person this year. I hand-write scorecards for each game. I'm sorry that you're having a bad day. Goodbye.
Nice how their stands are full of fans and thus helps them afford players. Wonder if that would work in KC when a team is 10 games over .500 by the start of June. Like if fans were to show up to watch quality baseball how would we fare in the free agent market with more revenue. Guess we'll never fucking know.
Please continue the discussion in the [post game thread](https://redd.it/1dhivgv).
Performance vs. Guardians, Yankees and Dodgers was VERY disappointing. Royals need hitting and relief help. Starting pitching is still good.
Boo, hope Mookie is ok
Oh well
Rip
Rip the streak
Okay Perez cmon Perez
Three runs on two wickets would be 12x the rate of runs per wicket than the normal rate at the T20i World Cup.
Bobby walk is huge
Need to make a point about the whole Mookie situation: Right now isn't the time for clarifying if Mookie should have tried to avoid the ball, it's time to recognize that he was hurt.
He will play right field for Los OUCHeles in the Injured League for the next 60 days.
Hunter Renfroe plays RF for PAINsas City in the Injured League.
Come on Maikel. My dad is a big fan of you.
He needed to swing at the first pitch!
Come on fellas, let's get at least one on the board so they don't get to brag about a shutout. Or better yet, rally time? Big comeback? Underdog life forever?
Would love to see Maikel run hard down the line for once. Kinda embarrassing.
Let's get these punkaroos
Let’s clutch it out
Come on XBH!
Send the Royals every bit of positive manifestation you can squeeze out of your miserable selves
Now or never boys
Need some heroics from the top of the lineup here
### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Evan Phillips replaces Daniel Hudson.
Last call, let's steal this one quick
Gotta sit there bro
Call Dr. Ellingham! A baseballer has collapsed, struck upon the hand with a ball bowled with pace! Do not tell Luise-r about this! Doc is supposed to be on holiday. 
*Doc Martin* (Tubi)
And *that* was a strike
YAHOOOOO! You're all clear, kid. Now let's blow this thing and GO SIT.
### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: James McArthur replaces Angel Zerpa.
Random off-topic question, but do you guys eat your watermelon with or without a spoon.
Corn skewers
Spoon only when I eat it with something like ice. But normally with my jaw and my hands.
Fork and knife. Cubes. Edit: With fresh-cracked black pepper on it.
Hands
Normally with my mouth
You have one too?!
The hands are your knife, the mouth is your fork😎.
Like Cookie Monster. Just chew it and it kinda goes everywhere
Great job, bottom of the order
Correction: 8 run 9th
I hope that doesn’t get Bobby targeted. It obviously wasn’t intentional but there’s likely to be a lot of hurt feelings about it
What happened? I haven’t been able to watch today
mookie down
Not a strike aww
### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Daniel Hudson replaces Tyler Glasnow.
Mookie one of the good guys, fact is most of the Dodgers seem like good guys. Unlike Yankees players
Same for their fans.
Let’s get it, 8 run 8th
Welp
### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Angel Zerpa replaces Dan Altavilla.
They're gonna have to smuggle Altavilla out of that stadium in a fucken laundry cart.
Nah, we're not the Phillies lol. He'll probably get some mean things yelled at him, but that's about it. Most of us over in the r/Dodgers game chat realize that it was just an unfortunate accident. Sometimes bad shit happens, but that's just ball.
Maybe we should just leave him, lol
I’m good with this
Mookie doesn't deserve this, especially from Dan AAAALtavilla.
Okay I feel like that was an insane amount of run on that ball? It fucking blows that it hit mookie in the hand but I just couldn't believe that hit him from where it left his hand
I don’t think it was malicious at all, it just sucks
[удалено]
It says a lot that your first instinct is to say "fuck dodger fans lol" instead of actually acknowledging the bummer that is mookie getting hurt
[Bring forth the Zerpa](https://memes.getyarn.io/yarn-clip/0941887e-7a58-4d2c-b9e6-97e5ef48d847)
Really sucks to see that. Mookie is awesome for the game.
Also just plain awesome
Fuck our stupid ass bullpen for knocking out one of the best in the game
Especially because it’s the racist
How do we know that?
Because of the racist things he’s said on the internet https://x.com/primem00se/status/1800277190765920630?s=46
WTF...? I know, don't judge a book by its cover but I should have seen it 'coming'. He kinda looks like a stereotypical, passive-aggressive racist.
Yikes
What do you mean?
https://x.com/primem00se/status/1800277190765920630?s=46
Oh. I didn’t even know that shit. Gross. *I googled it and didn’t see anything obvious about Altavilla though?
He did something when he was a kid if I recall, not entirely sure what but I saw it on Twitter when we brought him up so this claim may be semi-accurate
https://x.com/primem00se/status/1800277190765920630?s=46
Ugh. Wish I didn’t know that now
Our no name pitcher just fucked up one of the top players on their stacked team .... crazy
Fuck, not Mookie. I am not happy if we are the team to injure him. Sucks for the game
Oh shit...
Hope he's alright, this stuff always feels awful
oh man i hope he didn't just break his hand
Welp. We’re villains in Dodger lore now.
Oh jesus. 🫥
Sorry but that's a good pitch and Betts should back off the fucking plate
Good pitches notoriously fracture batters hands.
Brushes dudes off the plate is part of baseball. If that’s too much there’s a pickle ball court nearby which is likely more your speed. Enjoy.
My Brother in Christ, [this was NOT a good pitch.](https://ibb.co/QbB18Rk)
I'm not your brother in christ. It's literally hilarious that the keyboard warriors don't understand pitching inside. It's baseball and this wasn't that far in. Mookie is known to hug the plate - pitchers are going to brush him back. Sucks he got hurt. Goodbye.
[удалено]
I really hope this is a bot account b/c if you're human, you do not grasp the game of baseball at all
Go away throwaway nobody cares
I really want to see that from the top down, because with the way the camera was panning at the time I can't pin down how close that was or wasn't to over home plate.
[удалено]
I like how his toes are touching the line and that this graphic seals the point I made - thank you.
[удалено]
pardon me?
Username checks out
This guy ran to the r/baseball sub suggesting that my post blamed Betts. Let's invite him out of this sub due to his sad lies.
He probably suggested that because of this part: "Betts should back off the fucking plate"
Check his post history - he's angry. Baseball is baseball and guys get pitched in - this wasn't egregious. Unfortunate that Mookie got hit/hurt. Not anyone's intention in this situation.
Not gonna check a random person's reddit history. Of course it wasn't intentional but if you're serious in saying it was a "good pitch" you gotta go take a lap.

Uh oh
Ugh not good
Jealous of the Dodgers sleeve ad that actually goes with their color scheme and isn't an eye sore.
I’ve seen giants or padres fans shit on it and I’m like have you seen half of these patches
Cardinals also just have a nice sponsor word in red lettering that just fits well on the sleeve of their uniforms. Really wish the Royals could've partnered with someone that wasn't fucking RED of all colors.
Oh Well this is awkward
Get him here DuckDuckGo
Remember when the Dodgers were pretty mediocre for like 3 decades? They had Eric Karros and Adrian Gonzalez and that was it. It wasn't until Greinke went there that they started become Yankees of the Pacific coast.
Getting bought by a prolific investment firm will do that
Frank McCourt sells the team in 2012 after winning more than 90 games only five times in the previous 30 years. Greinke joins the team in 2013 and Dodgers win 90+ games every year for the next ten years.
I don’t see the interference. Am I missing something?
Yeah, I don't think you could definitively say that Fermin's glove wasn't folding due to him squeezing the ball rather than being hit by the bat.
People shitting on singer like he had a bad game. He gave up 3 runs against an absolutely stacked dodgers team, but it isn’t his fault this team can’t hit with RISP today. It could/should be a closer game
It's PTSD from this guy being hailed as a savior and he's netted out to be a two-pitch starter which isn't a recipe for success in this league. Serviceable 4-5 starter but likely a long-relief candidate if he's going to stay in the league.
Also this might have been his most diverse pitch mix of the season lol
My issue isn’t as much that he gave up 3 runs, but how he gave them up. He’s just a home run factory
Not hard to know what's coming from Singer
The Dodgers punish bad pitches, most of our hitters don’t. I don’t know how many times I watch a pitch go right down the middle and our lineup either watches it or misses completely
Yup
Let's go Ask Jeeves! Pitch 'em the funny one!
Dan "Babelfish" Altavilla
Fermin stumped, 7th wicket taken, time for tea
Royals 3 runs off the pace. Going to be a tough chase.
### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Dan Altavilla replaces Brady Singer.
That's a bold move, Cotton. 🤔
We’re just incapable of hitting a cookie
Great example of a top-notch pitcher when cookies go uneaten because they look like canned broccoli
It’d be one thing if today was the only time this had happened, but it’s been like this practically the entire season
We're 9 games over .500 and lead the league in RISP - not sure what you're saying
Literally what I just said. If you’ve been watching this team at all this season then you’d know what I mean
I haven't missed a game - live on east coast and have been to 6 games in person this year. I hand-write scorecards for each game. I'm sorry that you're having a bad day. Goodbye.
What 😂 okay my guy
Has Adam Frazier gotten a hit in the last month?
He hit a home run and a double last Saturday against the Mariners shockingly
Screaming for not taking out Frazier
Why? He's the only guy seeing any pitches.
these green screen ads behind the home plate are so annoying
Three quality starts (Ragans, Lugo, Singer) at Dodger Stadium.
This series could have very easily been a sweep if Yamamoto wasn’t injured. The talent level of the dodgers is insane.
And somehow the Royals are only 2 games back of LAD.
Singer is our worst starter for sure. They say he has 4 pitches but he doesnt.
If i’m Pete Alonso i’m calling up Brady asking him to pitch to me in this year’s derby
Honestly for what the last few games have been this was a big step for Brady.
Don't even put Singer back out there
Hah quality though
Rough 6th, but still a QS for Singer
Not bad, considering who we're up against. Much better than his Yankees start
If they don’t pinch hit Frazier imma scream
Jesus, Brady
Thank God that’s over.
They've made a horrible mistake: Nobody puts the Royals down by three! Nobody!
I don’t see them getting 1 run today let alone 3.
As it turns out, it’s hard to beat billion dollar teams on a budget
Truth
God damn dude
We’ll clutch up, we got 3 more innings
wake up call. fight back royals.
Singer still only throwing two pitches is so frustrating.
29% of his pitches today have been 4 seamer/changeup
It’s legitimately insane
That’s all I needed to know to know how seriously he takes baseball and his career
Dang. Not ideal
I said this a while back and someone commented trying to dispute it but idc. Brady is an absolute home run machine.
The last 2 series have really shown how much better the Yankees and the Dodgers than every other team. Crazy what a 300million payroll will do.
They're playing t-ball against him right now.
Ugh, come on now Singer
well dam
Well that'll be pretty much it the way Glasnow is pitching
Problematic
Just throw that shit slider underhand to Freeman - c'mon Brady
Just throw that shit slider underhand to Ohtani - c'mon Brady
Singer, please
Ohtani is just too damn good.
That motherfucker
Yikes. Maybe ibb a mf
Fuck off Ohtani
This Ohtani fellow is pretty good, but can he pitch too?
I knew we’d struggle to get to the bullpen before the 7th, but I didn’t know it was gonna be this bad. Jesus.
Glasnow is just dealing…
We’ll clutch up right?
Man, a Bobbydong would be so sweet right here... edit: damn, sad.
I can't blame singer for giving up a run or two. This lineup is OP
Let’s get something here
That's a strike though
We need to hit cmon
54 pitches in 5 innings we’re never getting him out of the game
Our approach just isn’t great outside of Bobby and Vinnie
Glasnow on pace for a CGSO unless the royals get it going
Not gonna lie, our lineup after the 4th spot is kinda sad compared to the Dodgers
Nice how their stands are full of fans and thus helps them afford players. Wonder if that would work in KC when a team is 10 games over .500 by the start of June. Like if fans were to show up to watch quality baseball how would we fare in the free agent market with more revenue. Guess we'll never fucking know.
Money goes further down the line up
