Two cracks in the Dodgers this year that began to show late: bad defense and a .500 record in one run games. You can run up the score and dominate weaker teams, but defense matters in the playoffs, and the games are closer.

[@jumpingship3001]

@gstlb Best comment I read today.

[@nolanoshiro2083]

good catch on the close game stat.

[@robbwhite13]

part of the issue with losing 1 run games is the new rule for extra innings with ghost runners. I don't know where to look but how about defense and close games over the last 10 yrs? I thin there will be a lot of surprises in MLB next year when the shift is outlawed. that's how the padres won game 4. they hit opposite to the shift. machado was seen beating this stuff out in batting practice, even the announcers mentioned it. but the dodgers defense ...? let it happen

[@encinobalboa]

The biggest problem is and has been the bullpen. Kenley choked repeatedly. Kimbrel was washed up before we signed him to close. Instead, Padres scooped up Hader while we were asleep. Dave has to go.

[@Gunleaver]

And in close games, Roberts' decisions are magnified. They might cost a run here or there, but when your run differential is as obscene as the Dodgers' was (+334, 96 above the next best team), there are going to be a lot of games where those 1-2 run-costing decisions are inconsequential. But in the one-run games, in extra innings, where every run is important, suddenly their effect is seen and the Dodgers lost a lot of those. 111 wins might be a lot, but according to MLB's projected W-L record based on run differential, they should have won 116.

As an MLB fan in Korea, I think the MLB postseason is special because the team that is not overwhelming often wins. In addition, I think people in USA like it when an attractive team with a unique story challenges the trophy. The LA Dodgers are overwhelming in the regular season, but I don't think they're attractive. The Dodgers seem to need one more starting pitcher like a gladiator, although they have made some improvements by signing Mookie Betts. Of course Dave Roberts should be fired.

From a padre fan living in LA this could not be sweeter. I feel for the Dodger players as they are a hell of a team with a great roster and just good hearted people in their line up. But the fans have been insanely toxic for years, so much so that my wife and I won't even go to dodger stadium anymore. There are plenty of good fans out there but the majority of the fans, radio hosts/tv announcers, and LA itself deserves this. When you're arrogant and disrespectful at the top no one feels bad when you collapse. I genuinely hope the majority of LA and their fanbase learn some humility from this. We all just want to enjoy a baseball game together, and we don't need the dodgers acting like another Raiders fan base.

[@Robzrx]

I don’t know what you’re talking about. Im a season ticket holder and have never seen Dodger fans being toxic towards other fans. Im sure it does happen but not anymore than at other stadiums. I’ve seen plenty of opposing teams fans being being loud and obnoxious and talking a lot of crap. Its like going to someone else’s home and being disrespectful to them, no one is going to take that. That being said, when have the Dodgers refused to sell tickets to opposing teams fans? Completely cowardly and classless move on your team’s part.

I could tell my friend was genuinely confused and disgusted as well. I understand, you have a team that makes it to the playoffs but a good many if not majority are toxic because of this.

[@CrescentRollCarl]

I've been a Dodger fan for over 40 years. The issue I've seen with this team is despite all the talent, there really isn't a guy who's firing up the team and bringing the intensity needed to win in big games. Last night you saw 4 o 5 different Padres players doing this. The Dodgers don't have a player like Manny on the Padres. A player who plays at an allstar level, but also leads the team in intensity and is able to fire up the teammates in a productive way. Its hard to take as a Dodgers fan.

[@akhnatenra6603]

What some people doesn't finish to understand is that in Baseball what happens in the regular season NOTHING has to do with the upcoming once the Playffs begins. Just take a look back to the 2001 Seattle Mariners they had 116 Wins just to be eliminated in the first round of the Playoffs. There's no Logic in Baseball and in the field statistics means nothing.

[@williamkerfoot8039]

That team's overrated. How many HOFers did they have? Who pitched in Game 5 with the season on the line? I rest my case!

[@nick0875]

It is a common trend with plenty of pro sports leagues that have a post season to see a great regular season team collapse in the playoffs. You get an idea of how good a team should be in the regular season but there are plenty of upsets to show how meaningless regular season results are.

[@HappyRatKaiser]

Mariners fan here. Despite their best efforts to drop the ALDS to Cleveland, they actually survived that series 3-2. They got blown off the field by the Yanks instead. It was brutal. Actually, you know what, let's just say they lost in the first round; some things are better left forgotten and I'm getting a twitch just recalling that series...

[@Pablo-cs5sc]

A lot of Dodgers fans get mad when the 2020 Championship* gets called a "Mickey Mouse" ring but each year it is proven right. A 60 game regular season favored them because they were loaded with talent (pitching and hitting) and for the most part they were able to remain healthy (something that is hard in a 162 game season). Not only this, but the pitchers were able to be fresh and this was clearly seen with Urias when he was dealing at the end of the season (and even Kershaw). Besides the few games, they were able to play in neutral fields and avoid a lot of crucial elements (crowd noise, weather, etc) that is mostly seen in a regular playoff series (ex: ATL in 2021 or SD this year). This year the Dodgers looked almost unstoppable and quite frankly, everyone saw them at least making it to the NLCS (especially since they didn't have to face the Mets). I don't think many people believe San Diego had a chance; yet, I dont think many people thought that Petco Park would be electric (since many call it: "Dodger Stadium South"). So yes "all" teams had a chance to win in 2020, but with the 2nd highest payroll in MLB and immense talent, the Dodgers were able to capitalize on the shorten season and finally win it all. Until they are able to do it in a full season, I think most people will still continue to call 2020 a "Mickey Mouse" ring b/c they continue to prove that they are choke artists in a full 162 game season.

[@ChiefBlue4298]

Exactly!!!

[@xyzxyz6406]

The Dodgers 2020 championship has asterisks all over the place from not having to grind through 162 games, to playing all WS games in a tiny hitters park where most the HR's they hit would have been outs at Chavez Ravine to no crowds rendering home field advantage meaningless and till they win a ring in a real 162 game season the one they won in 2020 is a fraud. I bet if the regular season only had 10 games Doyer fans would still think it's legit, but 60 games is a joke.

[@Un_k_noWN]

same with the Lakers

[@1eyegoob809]

You got that right, until they win in 162 game season, its a " Mickey Mouse" ring, Alex Verdugo was right all along

[@jsnike91]

I said it from the start of the 2020 season, no matter who won it, even if it was my Phillies, it’s a partial championship. Any team would have had to put a stamp on 2020 by winning it in 2021, and dodgers couldn’t do so. And here we are again in 2022, still no WS in a full 162. I also said, if 5 seasons go by after the 2020 “championship” and the dodgers still haven’t won a full 162, with their insane payroll and talent, that 2020 season is a complete joke.

This current Dodger run also speaks to the ever expanding MLB playoff format. If this was the pre-wild card format, it would have been LA Vs NYM or ATL in the League Championship Series and that would be the end of that. The regular season used to mean so much more in that era.

[@brandynhenry7107]

If you expanded the playoffs to all 30 teams I think people would be horrified by how often a dogshit team would win it. small sample baseball is a glorified weighted lottery. that was the whole purpose of playing 148/154/162 games in the first place, to level out the variance. Under the 3 Rd system the best team record wise has only won about 25% of the time, and considering there's 8 teams that's basically only double over random chance since 1/8 is 12.5%. Still applies as a 3 Rd system to the best team since they get a bye obviously

[@mydogskips2]

I agree, the Dodgers were probably a bit rusty from the break, but they did win game one. The problem, of course, was that they lost the next three, so they really have no excuse, if they had taken just one game, it would have forced a game 5 back in LA, where I imagine they probably would have won, but obviously, it never happened.

[@larryloveless2967]

I have followed plenty of baseball through the years since being old enough to remember doing so since 1960. Since divisional play started in 1969 with East and West divisions the importance of the regular season has been devalued. The addition of another division and wild card teams have corrected some of the initial inequities doing so. It is just much more excitinbg than prior to 1969 when so many teams had no chance by Sep 1. The Dodgers are just so similar to the Braves of the 1990s coming up a little short from having a great dynasty. It always helps to have two great starters for a short series including the world series, but the Braves had great starters yet there was another team out there a little better. . In the early 2000s very good Cardinals teams came up short while the 2006 team a little over .500 won the world series. It's Baseball. From all the sites I have read today about the recent Dodgers failure maybe the best thing to do is just to try a different manager. The Yankees sure fired many managers for the sole reason of not winning a world series. A pennant winner only was viewed as a failure by those great Yankees teams. This 2022 Dodgers team will soon be forgotten.

[@RRaquello]

It goes back a lot further than the last decade. I've been following baseball since I was 7 years old, which was 1968. Through most of those years, the Dodgers have been a contender. So in 54 years, they've won exactly one World Series in a complete season (1988). The other two they won were in the strike season of 1981, when the playoffs were intentionally set up to create a Dodgers-Yankees World Series, and in the Covid year. Even the ho-hum nobody cares about them non-marquee franchise from Minnesota has done better than that. If not for the left arm of Sandy Koufax, we might be talking one World Series win in a complete season for their entire history in Los Angeles. Maybe two (1959 as well as 88). Which ain't so hot for a team considered on of baseball's showcase franchises.

[@person-xd3wb]

Perennial contenders sometime champions. That's the history of the Dodgers. Others have won more often but few have been in contention as often. Great but frustrating franchise.

Prior to 1969 the regular season counted as at the end the teams with the best records in the NL and AL would immediately play in the world series with no playoffs. (If we were still using this model, the Astros would have played the Dodgers immediately following the regular season this year). Now your record only means home field advantage, that said, with the playoffs being a thing a more mediocre team (like the Padres) could catch fire in October and win it all. To sum it up the regual season is a marathon while the playoffs (especially best of 3 or 5) are a sprint.

[@xiaobiaoxu5984]

Baseball is a strange sport in which post season success has little to do with regular season record ... the postseason success depends on one thing and one thing only, that is, can you perform under pressure. The regular season does not have that pressure because THERE ARE 162 GAMES in total and one plays a single division rival 19 times!!! Dodgers are not built for post season & they simply cannot handle pressure! Most of their players, especially pitchers, and their management underperform when pressure mounts. Every year, they added great new players, because there is always that insecurity that their rosters are not enough to win the WSC (and if a rival did something, they will counter no matter what, remember Travor Bauer?) ... This has to be one of the most pathetic team in the history of sports. 111 win and get kicked out in the division round by a team who they beat 14 out of 19 times!

Well done, Dodgers. Anyone remember when they choked away the division title at home to the Padres in 1996? They had a 3 1/2 game lead with 3 games to play. The Padres won four straight games. The last three a sweep at Dodger Stadium where the Dodgers scored one run. Then, as a wildcard, they were swept by the Braves. The Dodgers just don't show up. And 2020 does not count.

Not too many are old enough to remember when they were in Brooklyn and they would get to the World Series many times especially in the late 40's and 50s and would usually lose to the Yankees. The playoffs are a different animal; anything can happen and you don't want go into a slump during that time. The hitting went into a big slump and Roberts loved pulling the starters out when they were doing good.

[@myplane150]

The Dodgers (my fave, btw) are a streaky team that has in recent years, for some reason or another, gone on a losing streak in the postseason. They are built for power and the so-called true outcome of walk, strikeout, or homerun. This team lives and dies as one. If one key guy struggles, it seems like they all struggle. It really is weird. This year is just like the last 10 not counting 2020. Stuff needs to change. They are the definition of insanity...☺

[@wyattburns2467]

The Dodgers feel like the 90s/early 2000s Braves, a team that’s consistently good in the regular season, stumbles in the playoffs more often than not, but wins in a shortened season (in Atlanta’s case, 1995 was 144 games instead of 162 due to the strike).

[@KRAZEDSAMOAN]

im not a braves fan but 144 games is still a pretty long season. 18 less games vs 100 less games is a huge difference.

[@cardslifer2828]

One of the issues LA faces like STL is they don't play in a very competitive division. There's always 3 teams in that division that are non-competitive year in year out. So the win totals are inflated.

[@lMrFresno559l]

Thats nonesense.

[@sjcbob7559]

The Dodgers always have the individual star power and ability to make it far, but with the constantly rotating roster they never develop the chemistry to pull it off when they really need to. As a Padres fan, we don’t have the same raw talent of the Dodgers, but we have a TEAM behind the player-leader Machado. If the Dodgers ever want to be back in the World Series, my take is that they need to develop a team with genuine chemistry. Post season isn’t about who can hit the most home runs, it’s about the best team that can continue fighting even when the game/series seems over.

[@evanfunk7335]

Precisely. This last game seemed really grim for the Padres, but in the 7th inning, down 3 runs and getting stomped, we came back. There just needs to be intensity.

[@person-xd3wb]

Padres win one series and their fans are lecturing the Dodgers. Holy overreaction. Good luck but win another series or two.

[@kenstephens7747]

There's a lot more variance in baseball results than people realize. It's not that the regular season doesn't give us an idea of how the postseason will go, but even the best teams lose a number of series throughout the year, and one of those can easily come up, especially in shorter series. The biggest factor though is how a particular team is playing now. If a team is underperforming, then the results often follow, continuations of a team playing on the colder side. This was the case with our hitting, and we even had several Rockies pitchers who we should have pounded that tamed us pretty well. Our numbers at the plate over the last month had dropped off a lot, and stayed that way in the playoffs. If the playoffs were in July or August, we likely would have had an easy time of it. During the course of a season, we see different iterations of a team, with various degrees of hot or cold, and the party was held at the wrong time for us. It often is. The Dodgers were almost a .700 team this year, so to show how hard it is even for teams this good to win the WS, let's assume that playoff teams are only average and our expected win rate per game would be 70%. Let's assume we have this 70% chance to win the series, even though it's actually lower than that because the 70% applies to each game and there's less of a chance than that to win the series. So there are three series, and the chances of winning all 3 drop to one chance in three. So you do this every year and win one in three (0.7*0.7*0.7), and with the other two, fans are slamming their heads on the wall and feeling cheated. The actual chances of a .700 team against playoff teams of winning a series is more like 60%, which works out to about 1 chance in 5 of winning it all. So when the Dodgers only win 1 in 5, that's not just baseball, it's also math. I feel that we will be very competitive again next year and will again be hoping we'll be able to cash in on this 21.6% probability. We've come out on the wrong side the last couple of years and are due :)

They blew game 4 of the World Series on the craziest play this side of Bill Buckner only to bounce back and win games 5 and 6… they were the Champs in 2020.
