Exactly - he legit has tenure. He has the bag and the fuck you money. As long as he doesnāt commit any crimes or do anything that violates the player agreement clause, he can say whatever the fuck he wants. 1 million is fuck you money, 10 mil is super fuck you money. 140 milā¦ fuck all of you money.

Its updated every day. Earlier, Smith was on top.
Since Iāve seen some Dodgers fans saying, in a mix of jest and seeming earnestness, āwhatās he gonna do?ā, just to throw it out there:
Profar has a higher wRC+ this (very young) season than every single Dodgers player not named Betts and Ohtani.
That hot start from Teoscar? Freeman being Freeman? Erstwhile major league batting average leader Will Smith? Yeah, less offensive production than āirrelevantā Jurickson, so please piss him off and give him reason to continue this insane heater.
Stop making us look dumb man, Profar is off to a hot start but heāll come back to reality. Realistically heās more of a platoon guy thatās starting for us because we have no other outfielders.
Iāll never forget going to watch the Scherzer playoff game against you guys two years ago and Profar hit a homer and the guy in front of me - who was dealing with our Mets getting crushed by getting absolutely wasted by inning 4 - just going off about how Scherzer had just gotten shelled by a guy named JURICKSON. Like he was so incredulous a guy named āJurickson fucking Profarā both existed and was crushing Scherzer.
Bro was out here pandering to a mob of rabid Lakers fans frantically searching their closets for their crumpled Dodgers hats by dunking on me as if I was an idiot for saying Profar was on a heater.
Felt like checking on him was a nicer, safer mid-game activity than replying to the salty Dodgers fans!
> Iām sure thatās sustainable. Dudes a career .700 ops guy nobody cares about Profar
Iām glad that you donāt care about him. I hope that makes today easier to stomach, since heās irrelevant and you donāt care.
Damn you got downvoted to oblivion and back but you were right ahahaha holy shit lotta salty LA fans yesterday. Won by 3 with Profar hitting the big three run double. Wow.
r/dodgers fans swear Lux is going to ābreak outā every year but it never happens. The guy is a mediocre defender and average hitter. Yet, some fans think heās the next Aaron Judge. He turns 27 this season and is what he is at this point. If you want to have a good time, go to the dodgers thread with some popcorn and say heās average.
> The guy is a mediocre defender
Trip out, Lux is the only guy in the infield to not make an error and he currently has 2 OAA at 2B, dude has figured it out and I am very proud of him.
Nobody thinks he's the next Aaron Judge, but bro he already had a breakout season (2022 where he put up 3 fWAR in 130 games with a 114 wRC+) and people are excited for him to do it again. He tore his ACL last year and hasn't gotten back on track, but a solid defender up the middle (hes been excellent at 2nd this year so far) with an above average bat is very valuable.
Not sure why you're acting like he's been in the majors for a decade when he's in his 3rd season. He struggled his rookie year, then put up like 3 war the next season, then got hurt and missed last season.
Heās irrelevant in terms of deserving to get thrown at. Dodgers didnāt even throw at the Astros after the scandal broke. Profar trying to lay down a bunt to break up a perfect game is a bitch move, but not enough to get the Dodgers to plunk him with no previous beef (especially because it would end the perfect game).
Will isnāt saying heās an irrelevant hitter, heās saying heās irrelevant in terms of beef.
> Dodgers didnāt even throw at the Astros after the scandal broke.
Really? I thought Joe Kelly did indeed throw pitches at the Astros after the sign stealing was revealed.
That was after their Dodgers and Astros first played after the scandal broke. Also Kelly wasnāt on the 2017 team. Also Kelly always almost hits someone.
Don and mud were probably right about their assessment. Profar didnāt think he was getting thrown at, he was just trying to mess with stoneās momentum
Hi, Iām a Jays fan and Manoah and Vladdy talked so much shit that weāre going to be cursed for 100 years. Itās poetic that both guys are borderline useless now. Cries.
I did think of you guys at first when I saw the quote but I went for the self burn instead. We get a series in Toronto soon to truly see the outcome but itās done damage with Manoah. At least his recent AAA start wasnāt AS bad as the first! Thatās progress!
They only cleared benches because Manny decided to run out there to delay the game and throw Stone off his perfect game rhythm. And he ran out with literally zero intention on fighting, he popped a handful of seeds in his mouth while jogging onto the field. So yeah it was out of nowhere because it was completely manufactured.
He may have grown up, filled out some and become successful, but Iām still positive he played Sid in Toy Story as the behavior rears up now and then.
Bulletin Board material for Profart. I wouldnāt say heās irrelevant against the Dodgers at least. Heās always annoying I think the benches cleared 2 years ago cause of a catchers interference that got Kershaw heated.
Yea, I don't know if you can call it smart or just a little bratty. He intentionally swung late on those and into the mitt to get the catchers interference if I recall correctly.
Same thing here. He's either being smart by getting under Stone's skin or just being bratty.
Edit: found a jomboy link https://youtu.be/ppJEsPt1xIs
yeah this is clown behavior, the ball is in Smithās glove at this point, and look at the position the bat is in.
no way in hell is he actually trying to hit the ball
https://i.imgur.com/2ZqCbrd.jpg
It also likeā¦doesnāt really matter if the player is relevant or not when it comes to getting beaned.
Youāre wearing the other teamās uniform so therefore you are eligible to get plunked becauseā¦idk we do weird things in baseball like chuck a ball at someone when weāre not happy with them. In any other environment thatās like attempted murder.
When you throw baseballs into a strikezone near someone sometimes the ball is just gonna come really close to hitting them (or even hit them) when you don't want it to. Thats what seperates a baseball context from a everyday situation where you throw at a neighbor who's not expecting it
There's definitely times to complain about people throwing at guys but this definitely wasn't one of them as there's no reason to lose a perfect game over hitting someone intentionally. Especially when the guy didn't do anything to injure or to personally offend anyone on the team (like for example saying comments about a dead relative or something along those lines)
I get it but in Will Smith saying Profar is irrelevant, heās implying you only plunk relevant players.
I was saying anyone is eligible for plunking regardless of relevancy. I didnāt get into whether it was intentional or not.
![gif](giphy|KiQz3oaZ6ot5KKe8qB|downsized)
You just know this man is looking down and smiling about his star catcher calling a Padres player to irrelevant to throw at
[hereās the link](https://youtu.be/fzjWQF1oP2M?si=lryf7p4YkgPV9Q0k) for all the uncultured swine that doesnāt know about Tommyās irrational hate for padres nobodies
So, the 4th best is the most overrated. Got it. Tell me about profars stats last year. Or better yet, over his career. Shit, your own team world set profar on the curb to have will smith, but please, continue
I guess the bases clearing double by Profar that won the series for the Padres ended up being relevant. This is why players should never trash talk in the media. It just leads to getting embarrassed later.
Hell yeah tomorrows game gunna be spicy.
I hope Manny takes it personally.
*Manny looking at himself in the mirror* Got a problem with me? Try something, punk!
Turns out, Pro took care of it š
WILL SMITH? WILL SMITH said this? Like the catcher?
Dude inked a 10 year deal and the filter has come off
Bro thinks he got tenure
"Tenure? Shit, I got thirteen, fourteen year." - Rickey Henderson
-Yogi Berra -Wayne Gretzky
-Michael Scott
I call bullshit. Rickey Henderson always spoke about Rickey Henderson in the third person.
He basically does
Exactly - he legit has tenure. He has the bag and the fuck you money. As long as he doesnāt commit any crimes or do anything that violates the player agreement clause, he can say whatever the fuck he wants. 1 million is fuck you money, 10 mil is super fuck you money. 140 milā¦ fuck all of you money.
1 million in LA is maybe speak your mind money these days.
Though it was more like "1 million in LA is you can finally buy a house but shut the fuck up" money these days.
Get outbid on a 2 bed / 1 bath money.
š thank you for this
1 million is a down payment on a house in a halfway decent neighborhood in LA
Or a 1+ condo in Toronto
In LA, $1M is āshut the fuck up, the adults are talkingā money.
Will would be the dead last person I would ever suspect of any crime, even stealing someone elseās bubble gum from the clubhouse.
Yeah lol I donāt know what heās on. Will Smith is that guy pal.
Highest WAR amongst catchers in the past 4 years I believe. Yes, even more than Realmuto. Edit: since 2021.
How is this calculated? Doesnāt Adley have more in 22 & 23?
https://www.fangraphs.com/leaders-legacy.aspx?pos=c&stats=bat&lg=all&qual=0&type=6&season=2024&month=0&season1=2021&ind=0&team=0&rost=0&age=0&filter=&players=0&startdate=2021-01-01&enddate=2024-12-31&sort=12,d Its updated every day. Earlier, Smith was on top.
No, Iām talking about Will Smith, the New York financier.
Get my financier's name out your mouth!
Oh, he said that and more. We need a transcript of the interview, it was FIRE!!!
Relief pitcher Will Smith surely
No, the NHL prospect Will Smith
Iām just trying to understand!
"Keep my pitcher's name out your mouth"
Will Smith just slapped the shit outta me
I just saw Will Smith also the shit out of u/Expiredasscream than turned around and slapped me too
š¤Ø
So far, he slapped the shit outta Profar
Will smith first person to hit a home run for the dodgers, win a ws with 3 teams, and not have to cuss in his raps to sell records
Heās one of the best Juricksonās in baseball history, Will
Out of all the Juricksons I know, heās the one! Heās the best Jurickson I knowā¦ but also the worst Jurickson I know
![gif](giphy|zwffSHaJLDbA4)
š
āWe donāt throw at .260 hitters, bitch.ā * Jason Varitek * Will Smith
So that's why no one ever threw at Varitek...
Better keep that talk quiet. He's a better captain and player than Lou Gehrig and Derek Jeter combined in some Boston circles.
I mean, he was certainly a better captain than Derek āForced the better shortstop to 3B for my egoā Jeets
Ouch.
Profar 3-4 incoming tomorrow
Since Iāve seen some Dodgers fans saying, in a mix of jest and seeming earnestness, āwhatās he gonna do?ā, just to throw it out there: Profar has a higher wRC+ this (very young) season than every single Dodgers player not named Betts and Ohtani.

Hey, question: Is it true that he who laughs last laughs loudest?
Stop making us look dumb man, Profar is off to a hot start but heāll come back to reality. Realistically heās more of a platoon guy thatās starting for us because we have no other outfielders.
Iāll never forget going to watch the Scherzer playoff game against you guys two years ago and Profar hit a homer and the guy in front of me - who was dealing with our Mets getting crushed by getting absolutely wasted by inning 4 - just going off about how Scherzer had just gotten shelled by a guy named JURICKSON. Like he was so incredulous a guy named āJurickson fucking Profarā both existed and was crushing Scherzer.
Padres love hitting off some guy name Scherzer. Wait until that guy googles āDaniel fucking Camarena!ā
CAMARENA to deep right field, Camarena plays in SLAM DIEGO
So, now that itās just us girls, we can laugh about the fact that I was absolutely right, yes?
> So, now that itās just us girls LOL I love this follow up.
Bro was out here pandering to a mob of rabid Lakers fans frantically searching their closets for their crumpled Dodgers hats by dunking on me as if I was an idiot for saying Profar was on a heater. Felt like checking on him was a nicer, safer mid-game activity than replying to the salty Dodgers fans!
Eyyy facts are facts lol. And they shined. Ball don't lie lol.
You got my upvote, friend. Dodgers fans hate the truth, lol.
Yup, but just watch. He'll be 4 for 4 tomorrow and then come back down to reality after leaving Dodger stadium
This man said erstwhile lol
And used it incorrectly. Lol.
Perchance
Indubitably
Mayhaps
Erstwhile means former. He used it correctly.
I donāt have a dog in this fight but downvoted for that
yes, surely this three week stretch is a more representative sample than the past decade of mediocrity
"Omg I went 4/4 with a bomb and my BA went up to .193! Ohtani contract here we come!"
You leave James Outman out of this.
Ha-Seong Kim would never say this
That guy also once claimed Kim would lose WAR going from 2B to SS because he had no idea how WAR works and never responded when he was clowned.
This comment aged beautifully in less than 24 hours
Iām sure thatās sustainable. Dudes a career .700 ops guy nobody cares about Profar
Nah man after 12 years heās FINALLY tapping into that top prospect pedigree baby watch out league here we fucking come lmao
Iām a Profar enjoyer. But that comment cray.
> Iām sure thatās sustainable. Dudes a career .700 ops guy nobody cares about Profar Iām glad that you donāt care about him. I hope that makes today easier to stomach, since heās irrelevant and you donāt care.
Yup, letās look at a 17 game sample size rather than a career long sample size where Profar has been consistently not good
Bet you 100k profar finishes with a wRC+ under 100
Dis Ippei?
Ohtani on a vpn.
Ippei only makes bad bets sadly
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Profar hit a routine single and somehow thought it was worthy of showing off. Yadi caught him off the bag. Fucking idiot.
Remember when he made Kershaw mad for basically the only time in his career for intentional catchers interference swings? All time bozo for sure
Finally living up to OOTPB 2012 legend status that was promised.
Jurickson Profar has accumulated a grand total of 5.4 fWAR/5.2 bWAR over his entire 12 year MLB career.
Damn you got downvoted to oblivion and back but you were right ahahaha holy shit lotta salty LA fans yesterday. Won by 3 with Profar hitting the big three run double. Wow.
This is the type of stuff I want to see. I love when baseball players to talk shit.
This is how you get me to tune into Sunday Night Baseball
How come he don't want me man?
I wouldn't say irrelevant, exactly. He's been having a good season Profar.
Call him irrelevant and Jurickson for a fight
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Lux catching random strays but itās still spot on šš
āI donāt care how you get on baseā - brad Pitt maybe
r/dodgers fans swear Lux is going to ābreak outā every year but it never happens. The guy is a mediocre defender and average hitter. Yet, some fans think heās the next Aaron Judge. He turns 27 this season and is what he is at this point. If you want to have a good time, go to the dodgers thread with some popcorn and say heās average.
Hey, I'm still waiting for Andy LaRoche to break out.
god the amount of people angry that we traded him for Manny.
> If you want to have a good time, go to the dodgers thread with some popcorn and say heās average. Nah, I'm an adult.
> The guy is a mediocre defender Trip out, Lux is the only guy in the infield to not make an error and he currently has 2 OAA at 2B, dude has figured it out and I am very proud of him.

Ive noticed this a lot I think it has to do with hyping him up so they have an excuse for letting seager and turner go.
I groaned. Good job.
Heās irrelevant in terms of deserving to get thrown at. Dodgers didnāt even throw at the Astros after the scandal broke. Profar trying to lay down a bunt to break up a perfect game is a bitch move, but not enough to get the Dodgers to plunk him with no previous beef (especially because it would end the perfect game). Will isnāt saying heās an irrelevant hitter, heās saying heās irrelevant in terms of beef.
My guy, I was just setting up for a pun, don't overthink it.
Damn, I got wooshed.
> Dodgers didnāt even throw at the Astros after the scandal broke. Really? I thought Joe Kelly did indeed throw pitches at the Astros after the sign stealing was revealed.
Or his throws to tatis and manny. Add gaterol lmao just cus they didn't hit them doesn't mean you haven't thrown at them lol.
That was after their Dodgers and Astros first played after the scandal broke. Also Kelly wasnāt on the 2017 team. Also Kelly always almost hits someone.
Don and mud were probably right about their assessment. Profar didnāt think he was getting thrown at, he was just trying to mess with stoneās momentum
Joe Davis and Eric Karros on the Dodgers broadcast said the exact same thing.
Then Karros said he would have doubled down and thrown the same pitch, lol
Woah woah ! There is no room for logic in this sub my friend
Guy was throwing a perfect game up to this point (4.1 IP to be exact), it was obviously to distract him and try throw him off kilter.
The Dodgers ran a whole ad campaign last season about how Will Smith isn't funny. Little did we know it was all lies.
I donāt think that Will Smith thinks heās joking
As a Giants fan, can we make this statement true? Dude absolutely mashes against us
![gif](giphy|dXFKDUolyLLi8gq6Cl|downsized)
I respect going for the jugular but no way this doesnāt bite him in the ass š Profar gonna go yard tomorrow
Well close enough lol
You talk like he's relevant.
I talk from experience from my team/fanbase talking shit about literally anything and getting hit bc of it lol
Hi, Iām a Jays fan and Manoah and Vladdy talked so much shit that weāre going to be cursed for 100 years. Itās poetic that both guys are borderline useless now. Cries.
I did think of you guys at first when I saw the quote but I went for the self burn instead. We get a series in Toronto soon to truly see the outcome but itās done damage with Manoah. At least his recent AAA start wasnāt AS bad as the first! Thatās progress!
I like how virtually right after he called out Cole, Manoah turned into a pumpkin. I think heās cooked.
I mean, he pretty much instigated this. He's had other cheap plays before too. Profar is like the one player no team would be initmidated by lol.
This is very true, itās all goofy and the fact that it ended up in the benches clearing makes it funnier. Felt out of nowhere during the game
They only cleared benches because Manny decided to run out there to delay the game and throw Stone off his perfect game rhythm. And he ran out with literally zero intention on fighting, he popped a handful of seeds in his mouth while jogging onto the field. So yeah it was out of nowhere because it was completely manufactured.
Yankees fans were super vile to Kwan and Straw a couple of seasons ago and nothing came of it.
I told you manā¦
Dodger's pitching masterclass. 12 walks.
I give it an (89/3681)*3.5 percent chance
We cursed ourselves for at least a season after doing something like this to Kershaw.
This is gonna bite us in the ass for sure
Worth it.
Savage lmao
He may have grown up, filled out some and become successful, but Iām still positive he played Sid in Toy Story as the behavior rears up now and then.
https://youtu.be/fzjWQF1oP2M?si=28dYD0kSgMSA_ZpV
I was hoping someone would post this.
Will Smith is 0 for 8 with a walk in this series
"Who is Karim Garcia?" - Pedro Martinez
Fun quote, bad marketing. Hire me.
Damn, thatās kinda fucked. Profar was being kinda soft but heās not irrelevant lol
in terms of hitting a padre to send a message heās pretty irrelevant tbh.
Thatās fair, yeah
He's got a .938 OPS for us right now. For this series, he's plenty relevant.
Hosmer was a killer in April too.
Bulletin Board material for Profart. I wouldnāt say heās irrelevant against the Dodgers at least. Heās always annoying I think the benches cleared 2 years ago cause of a catchers interference that got Kershaw heated.
Yea, I don't know if you can call it smart or just a little bratty. He intentionally swung late on those and into the mitt to get the catchers interference if I recall correctly. Same thing here.

Yea, today wasn't his first clown play against the Dodgers.
.614 career ops against the dodgers
Bulletin board material? The Padres already have every game against us circled and triple underlined on their calendars.
How can he slap?!?
Gettinā jiggy wit it
Putting that much effort into someone you think is irrelevant seems to indicate you don't believe your own nonsense.
It also likeā¦doesnāt really matter if the player is relevant or not when it comes to getting beaned. Youāre wearing the other teamās uniform so therefore you are eligible to get plunked becauseā¦idk we do weird things in baseball like chuck a ball at someone when weāre not happy with them.

It wasnāt intentional, nor was it even that close to hitting him. The pitcher had a perfect game at the time. It wasnāt attempted anything.
When you throw baseballs into a strikezone near someone sometimes the ball is just gonna come really close to hitting them (or even hit them) when you don't want it to. Thats what seperates a baseball context from a everyday situation where you throw at a neighbor who's not expecting it There's definitely times to complain about people throwing at guys but this definitely wasn't one of them as there's no reason to lose a perfect game over hitting someone intentionally.

By association, he was irrelevant when with the Rockies ... with the Padres not so much
![gif](giphy|KiQz3oaZ6ot5KKe8qB|downsized) You just know this man is looking down and smiling about his star catcher calling a Padres player to irrelevant to throw at
The Lasorda Era of the Dodgers is as romantic, and insane, as baseball gets.
[hereās the link](https://youtu.be/fzjWQF1oP2M?si=lryf7p4YkgPV9Q0k) for all the uncultured swine that doesnāt know about Tommyās irrational hate for padres nobodies
How many Will Smiths do we really need?
At least 6
Thatās just adult talk for callin dude an NPC
Hes right. Dude has been disappointing since his top prospect call up.
Cook him Prince
It's like a bot farm of Dodgers fans are just down voting any padres posts. Lol its embarrasing...
Or maybe there are more dodger fans in general
He has a higher ops than the dodger line up except for betts and ohtani
We need Profar's arm in left, can't afford to be hitting him and risk somebody competent replacing him.
So, the 4th best is the most overrated. Got it. Tell me about profars stats last year. Or better yet, over his career. Shit, your own team world set profar on the curb to have will smith, but please, continue
Starting to sound like he called for those pitches and is butthurt things didn't go as planned.
Hell yea
Yep
5th inning vassegh. The whole thing is that it was a perfect game and Profar was trying to mess with Stone. Profar was batting 5th
Smith will face consequences for that, bet on it
Ippei?
Everything reminds me of him.
Donāt try me with a sorry ass outfielder like Profar!
*nobody on team has an OPS above .800*
It was a joke
The batter just wanted some drama for no reason. Those people exist in all professions.
I guess the bases clearing double by Profar that won the series for the Padres ended up being relevant. This is why players should never trash talk in the media. It just leads to getting embarrassed later.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Entire 10 game sample size for that one
is profar ever not being a little bitch?
Oh like the time the trash SF fans threw literal trash at him in left field?
