I'm finding it hard to hate the Dodgers
They all just seem like really good players. I don't want to punch any of them.
Re: I'm finding it hard to hate the Dodgers
Plus, their top 3 players - Ohtani, Betts, Freeman - all seem like great guys.
Root against the money, I guess.

Hear is the great thing about LAD.
They sign SO for 700 mil, yet they have one of the best farm systems in mlb.

Yeah, but they don't have any annoying twerps like Jeter or circus clowns like Manny Ramirez, or detestable human beings like Roger Clemens or Curt Schilling.Ozziesfan41 wrote: ↑13 Oct 2025 22:01 pm I like some of the players but hate the team and hope they lose
The Dodgers buy up all the talent and then they're not even good villains.

Re: I'm finding it hard to hate the Dodgers
lol I see your point and you’re right if you think about you can’t even hate their ownership their franchise makes a boatload of money and they spend it to make the team as good as possible it’s not their responsibility to let other teams have a chance to beat themDicktar2023 wrote: ↑13 Oct 2025 23:10 pmYeah, but they don't have any annoying twerps like Jeter or circus clowns like Manny Ramirez, or detestable human beings like Roger Clemens or Curt Schilling.Ozziesfan41 wrote: ↑13 Oct 2025 22:01 pm I like some of the players but hate the team and hope they lose

They don’t have Ryan Braun either. Oh wait, he’s why I still hate the Brewers.Dicktar2023 wrote: ↑13 Oct 2025 23:10 pmYeah, but they don't have any annoying twerps like Jeter or circus clowns like Manny Ramirez, or detestable human beings like Roger Clemens or Curt Schilling.Ozziesfan41 wrote: ↑13 Oct 2025 22:01 pm I like some of the players but hate the team and hope they lose

The economic issues makes them extremely easy to dislike. Them winning is not good for baseball.Dicktar2023 wrote: ↑13 Oct 2025 21:46 pm They all just seem like really good players. I don't want to punch any of them.
Re: I'm finding it hard to hate the Dodgers
Ya think maybe the return on investment in sales in the Japanese market maybe pays for Ohtani and then some. The extra local TV dollars are also pretty hefty. They can pay for the best resources in scouting, coaching and developing their minor leaguers as well as scouting other teams prospects which they can acquire in trades.
In summary, it’s the money! Duh.

Can't stand that organization. Freeman seems like a phoney. And Ohtani got away with something others served lifetime bans for. They manipulate the IL.

Hilarious. An opinion about a player you don't know. A anger statement wanting a player banned when no rule violation was found. And a whiney statement that a team follows rules concerning injuries, but you don't like that they do.JuanAgosto wrote: ↑14 Oct 2025 00:19 am Can't stand that organization.

Re: I'm finding it hard to hate the Dodgers
I want the Dodgers to lose but I want Ohtani, Freeman, Betts and Edman to do well because they all seem really nice

I watch because it’s the best players baseball has to offer. Outside of the teams that made the postseason very few have a true star. All the names are in the tourney.
It represents the best baseball. Nothing wrong with good baseball.

Re: I'm finding it hard to hate the Dodgers
How can you enjoy watching a team that has such a revenue advantage? It cheapens the sport. It's not truly a competitive athletic competition when one team can field a team that was put together with unlimited resources.Dicktar2023 wrote: ↑13 Oct 2025 21:46 pm They all just seem like really good players.

MLB is not a serious sport until the cap arrives. When even F1 finally went to a cap....and now the professional soccer/football is doing the same.....there is only one sport left to take the plunge. Make it fair. Make it a sport again.
