The Dodgers are facing significant challenges this season, consistently losing games they should win due to poor performance in hitting and pitching. Their struggles with moving runners and obtaining clutch hits, along with relievers' inability to throw strikes, raises concern. Predictions of a strong season appear unfounded given their inconsistency, particularly following a missed opportunity to bolster their bullpen. The recent focus on injuries detracts from the impressive plays by their opponents, suggesting a pressing need for improvement as competition intensifies.
Lately, the only thing the Dodgers excel at is losing games they should win. When they hit they can't pitch and when they pitch they can't hit.
Any team that has played as inconsistently as they have at the plate, in the field, and on the pitcher's mound is very unlikely to survive in multiple playoff short series.
The Dodgers didn't have an 'inability' to improve their bullpen, it was an 'unwillingness.' With the talent in their system, they could have easily put together a package to get better bullpen help.
Once again the columnist focuses on the Dodgers' injuries instead of the Angels' mind-blowing bottom of the ninth rally.
