With the Dodgers epic struggles early this season firmly fixed in the rear-view mirror, the fan expectations are lukewarm… at best. However, here the Dodgers sit, tied for first place with the D-bags and I tend to like it that fans are not too excited (I like it a lot) because conventional wisdom is frequently wrong. Don’t get me wrong – the 2017 Dodgers weren’t bad, but they were a team built to win during the regular season. In the playoffs, they actually did pretty well, but the Astros did it one game better. Here’s something that should not be lost on any of us: In 2017, the Dodgers had the best closer in baseball and the best set-up man in the game… and they still lost to a team whose closer was an abomination and who had no regular set-up man.
Maybe This Team is Built for the Playoffs and World Series
