Dodgers Poll: Which NLDS Loss Was Worse, 2019 or 2022? Fans React

In 2019, the Dodgers blew a 3-1 lead in Game 5 of the NLDS on back-to-back eighth-inning homers by Juan Soto and Anthony Rendon of the Nationals, then lost the game (and the series) on an extra-innings grand slam by former Dodger Howie Kendrick. The Nationals went on to win the World Series.

In 2022, facing a 2-1 series deficit, the Dodgers blew a 3-0 lead when the Padres put up a five-spot in the seventh inning of Game 4, ending the series with a stunning 5-3 loss and heading home for a much earlier vacation than they had planned.
