As you might have heard, the Dodgers aren’t playing in this year’s World Series. After winning 111 games in the regular season, they suffered a stunning loss to the Padres in the NLDS and have been watching the rest of the postseason from their couches.
There have been reminders throughout the postseason, of course. Former future Dodger Bryce Harper has played very well this postseason, and Phillies reliever Zach Eflin spent one day as a Dodger in December 2014. Heck, in Game 3, we even got a high-scoring World Series game involving the Astros in which one team seemed to know what pitches were coming, and if that doesn’t remind you of the Dodgers, nothing will.
