It’s panic in the streets! The bullpen blows, the offense is too dependent on the home run, they couldn’t steal a base off Steve Yeager (he is 66) and the Dodgers are without doubt the worst team in the history of baseball, if not all sports.
Except, of course, they still lead their division by 2½ games.
Which is not to say they’re playing well at the moment or are a team without real concerns. But losing four consecutive games for the first time all year is not reason to scream to the baseball heavens and call for the heads of Don Mattingly, Andrew Friedman and Charley Steiner.
