The Los Angeles Dodgers missed a golden chance to take a commanding 3-1 World Series lead Tuesday night, and social media absolutely erupted. After a deflating Game 4 loss to the Toronto Blue Jays knotted the series 2-2, late-night posts captured a raw mix of anger at the bullpen and frustration with quiet bats.
On X (formerly known as Twitter), @BrdcastMediaGuy questioned the team’s resolve: “What a terrible effort from the Dodgers tonight. This team is definitely not last year‘s team. Nowhere near the character or determination. On to tomorrow…”
User @tec7705 vented at both the lineup and relief corps: “Well, the miserable Dodger hitting and the miserable bullpen just blew the game for the Dodgers. That piece of crap Treinen should be thrown out of baseball. That guy couldn't pitch in a little league game.”
For @suddso, the combination felt fatal: “This dodger offense is completely dead. Combine that with a dogs**t bullpen and we’ll be lucky to win anything. Pathetic showing so far”
@NorCalKMo fixated on momentum after the emotional high of Game 4: “The Dodgers have officially s**t the proverbial bed. Nice way to shift the momentum back to the Jay's. So pissed seeing this team that has so much potential just give up. #dodgers”
User @saljenn24 singled out the late-inning arms: “Banda and Treinen came in and didn’t give us anything productive. This game is a f**n wrap! #dodgers”
The themes stayed consistent with bullpen blame, a “dead” offense, and anxiety that one inning flipped the series tone. Low-like, time-stamped posts read as pure catharsis within hours of the final out. For the Blue Jays, the road win reinforces belief, resets the board, and tilts momentum heading into Game 5. The path is clear if the staff covers innings, the bridge arms execute, and the lineup grinds out competitive at-bats. The next game of the series now reads as a composure test they can pass.
