Blake Snell and the Los Angeles Dodgers are coming off a disappointing loss against the Hanshin Tigers. The Boys in Blue were no match after their offense failed to score a single run. Tokyo Dome was packed with baseball fans as they turned up to watch their favorite stars.
The offense was a disaster for Dave Roberts and his squad, but the highlight was the three-run homer from their $182 million star. Roberts decided to send their newly acquired pitcher against the Tigers. Blake Snell gave up his first home run in Dodger Blue, and fans couldn’t help but troll the pitcher for his performance.
It was probably a bad pitch, but the Hanshin Tigers’ offense was pretty strong. Here’s a look at some fan reactions from X.

Blake Snell Looks To Pick Up The Pace For The Los Angeles Dodgers
It’s just the beginning, and there’s enough time for all pitchers to pick up the pace. The Los Angeles Dodgers are giving their pitchers a slow start. Blake Snell has time, but he looks forward to getting a strong start with the team in the regular season.
During the 2024 season, he got off to a slow start with the San Francisco Giants. It’s natural for a free-agent pitcher to take a while, especially if they have missed spring training. However, Blake Snell has not missed spring training this time and must stay ahead of his other pitching staff.
On the other hand, the Los Angeles Dodgers are dealing with injuries, as Mookie Betts stayed out during their last game.
