Does anyone follow the Dodgers official twitter account? Amazing. They troll as hard as any professional franchise I've ever seen (except the LA Kings, but I suspect the same person runs both accounts).

Copy and paste some of their tweets into this thread.

Dodgers fans, if it makes you feel any better every time  I go through security at LAX with my Giants hat on I get the extra extra pat down.

and their response to EDM musician Kaskade:

So while the @Royals account can't even clear up confusion on how to clear up rainout tickets, the Dodgers just use social media the right way. Always interacting with fans.

Jonathon Sanchez just got demoted, dude had an ERA just under 12.  That trade for Guthrie sure has paid dividends so far.

Someone with high pitching IQ, why do our pitchers struggle to keep the ball in the park so much? Do we just leave pitches hanging?

We always hear the excuse that Kauffman isn't a hitter's park, but other teams have no problem blasting moonshots.

Kauffman isn't a hitter's park...but we also do not have home run hitters and never have. Any guys we have ever had we let go of way to early or got on the team way too late.

14 HRs hit at Kauffman this season, lowest in the Majors. Cleveland hit 3 in the wind yesterday alone.

Pretty sure Kauffman is a hitter's park. It's just not a home run hitting park.  Plus the Royals just suck at it. dunno.

total home runs is dumb as crap to use by the way. HR per game the K isn't even the worst in the division. (said sarcastically because even if you do HR per game there are only 2 in the majors with less)

Apparently moose tweaked his swing yesterday, and he has been hitting it hard but for bad luck lately.  Maybe that was the turning point for him for the rest of the year.  We'll see.

James Shields is getting me pretty pumped up, you guys. I love him. I also loved when Moose ran over to him and yelled in his face after that strikeout.

I'm just really bummed about how poorly Davis has pitched in the last few games.  He has struggled mightily with his command which has resulted in high pitch counts early in games as well as more runs allowed.  He has the ability to be a good pitcher if he would just throw strikes to get ahead of hitters.   :frown:

More like Wade Davies amirite?

Also, Moose has been better lately.

Like, by not spiking himself and/or only committing one game losing error per game?
