LA Times<\/a>: Los Angeles Angels of Orange County, Anaheim, California sweep the Los Angeles Dodgers, completing a 6-0 season sweep; also Dodgers fall out of first place, also Shohei Ohtani hits into a triple play lmao<\/span><\/p>\n I said it before earlier in the season when the Angels marched into Dodger Stadium and took all three games, the Dodgers will probably be fine, probably still win the division and are probably still the odds-on favorites to win the World Series, but it was still hilarious to see them get bounced so badly, not only at home, but to the crosstown rivals in the Angels, who are not really a good team.<\/span><\/p>\n So it bears repeating that it is again hilarious that the Angels have swept the Dodgers for the second time in the same season, but this time at their own home in Angel Stadium, because a lot of the circumstances have not really changed, but somehow, neither did the result.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The Dodgers were in first place in the NL West going into this series, and the Angels were many games under .500, and nowhere near contention in the AL West much less a wild card spot.\u00a0 And yet, when the smoke cleared on Wednesday night, it was the Angels who rattled off their sixth straight win against the Dodgers this season, completing the series sweep of the year; and in doing so, knocking them out of first place in the NL West, dropping them a game behind the San Diego Padres.<\/span><\/p>\n I like to imagine that the amount salt bubbling up amid the legions of lifetime front-running fairweather Dodgers fans since 2024 is massive, delicious and of course loud as shit because there\u2019s no more sore winners than Dodger fans these days, which means they\u2019re somehow even more butthurt when they\u2019re losing.<\/span><\/p>\n To me, the best part about this whole embarrassing flop was the fact that it was kind of punctuated, when Shohei Ohtani lined into an extremely rare triple play, which was on the verge of being unassisted, had the runner at first not had the brakes and turn when he did.\u00a0 Even the most valuable and popular baseball player on the face of the planet was not immune to colossal failure, and I like to facetiously throw in the face of sports communities to be on the lookout for yet another FIRST TIME EVER statistic to solely attribute to Ohtani, like being the FIRST EVER player with 250+ career home runs and an ERA under 3 to hit into a triple play at Angel Stadium on a night game \u2013 and it\u2019s Shohei Ohtani. That\u2019s it<\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n Like I\u2019ve said many times, I don\u2019t dislike Shohei Ohtani, I think he\u2019s a rather pleasant guy who hasn\u2019t let his superstardom really to his head too much.\u00a0 He\u2019s too Japanese to have such a flagrant ego.\u00a0 It\u2019s just I dislike that the media can\u2019t get off his nuts and have forced his existence down the throats of sports people, to where I\u2019m left with no choice but defiance and playa-hatin\u2019.\u00a0\u00a0 And by proxy, the Dodgers, which is awkward because I still love Freddie Freeman more than I care about any of the current Braves roster, but it all boils down to the fact that I enjoy seeing the Dodgers lose.<\/span><\/p>\n Regardless, I still maintain that the Dodgers will be fine, and their predicted success at the end of the year hasn\u2019t changed.\u00a0 They\u2019ll still make the playoffs, and they\u2019re still a high-probability pick to win the World Series.\u00a0 But anything short of glory, and snarky fans like myself can all call back to these two specific series in the season as symbolic foretelling to why they failed.<\/span><\/p>\n lol, get owned Dodgers<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" LA Times: Los Angeles Angels of Orange County, Anaheim, California sweep the Los Angeles Dodgers, completing a 6-0 season sweep; also Dodgers fall out of first place, also Shohei Ohtani hits into a triple play lmao I said it before earlier in the season when the Angels marched into Dodger Stadium and took all three … Continue reading LOL Dodgers<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[62,201,45,205,83,52,49],"class_list":["post-50805","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-brog","tag-baseball","tag-cash-money","tag-fail","tag-mlb","tag-observations","tag-owned","tag-wtf"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50805","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=50805"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50805\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":50807,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50805\/revisions\/50807"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=50805"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=50805"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=50805"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
