Adrian Gonzalez not gonna be at the World Series because he's taking his family to Europe
 
So salty got damn

boston sports radio was trashing him earlier today for that

 

[elcheato]

I'd rather go on vacation than spend the next few days fighting LA traffic to World Series games

LA radio wasnt

Welcome to Dodger Stadium guys
This is probably your first time watching a Dodger game from here

 

[Giantmetfan07]

That's because Barstool Sports Radio is salt of the earth.

Bill Plaschke said today that the dodgers had the best fans in the MLB. I loled

we lead the league in attendance every year

Dodger fans are crazy man. Don't disrespect

Most attendance =/= best fans

 

[Mexi]

Best fans is all arbitrary anyways

Strange that bill said that when everyone in LA hates him because he's always talking shit about everyone

 

[Mexi]

But really
Dodger fandom is deep. Deep. The city loves this team more than most cities love their teams

 

[Mexi]

I didn't watch a single al playoff game
What am i looking at in verlander? I know hes been good but has he or has he been getting lucky? I know fraizer almost took him deep

And i do know he kicked our ass in august. One of his last tiger starts. Got a huge ovation when he was removed. Took a no hitter late. Bellinger didnt play

 

[bosoxlover12]

brandon morrow is still playing in the league, and for the dodgers? TIL

 

[Phil The Thrill]

He had a hell of a year too

Arrive late, leave early, and don't show up when they're bad. That's love right there

 

[Mexi]

Yawn. Lazy unoriginal narrative. You're better than that Colin

He's been real good but he had a few pitches that coulda been bombs.

Just don't come at me with dumbassness about dodgers fans. They're fair weather

 

[Mexi]

well every city has fair weather fans
But to call dodger fans fair weather is wrong man

For god sake, how many fans hate their owners? A lot right

Dodger fans boycotted the stadium and forced selig to get rid of mccourt. Thats a bad fan base? And the second they got new ownership, theyre back in droves

In the 90s when we sucked we sold out every game. Cmon man stop watching espn

 

[JZsportswhiz]

Dodgers fans and LA sports fans as a whole have a reputation for being bandwagon.
 
They definitely don't do much to crush that narrative. Just because their stadium is massive, does not mean they have the best fan base. LA has a good following but the fan base doesn't compare to those seen in real sports cities like Boston, Chicago, Philly, and New York.

As much as I like Rich Hill, he's not a #2 pitcher on a playoff team.  Sorry Mexi.  I'm not sure I trust the Dodger's pitching outside of Kershaw.
 
On the other hand, Verlander and Keuchel make an excellent 1-2 punch.
 
That in no way indicates Astros are better, I'm just thinking aloud.  However, I do see the Astros as a better team.
 
EDIT: Forgot about Darvish.  Why is Hill starting game 2 over him?  Darvish is the better choice.
