For what feels like the millionth year in a row, the Dodgers have no fire or desire and are booted early from the postseason.
Hi, and welcome to another edition of Dodgers Dugout. My name is Houston Mitchell and if you have any odd jobs you need to do around the house, there are 26 guys I know who have cleared their schedule the rest of this month. The Dodgers did it again. They cruised through the season, winning 100 games and outdistancing the rest of the NL West. Then they sleepwalked through the postseason and went home early. No fire on the field. No evident desire from most. No anger.
'A lefty is coming in? Better send up a right-handed hitter.' How about you read the situation and realize Barnes hasn't hit all year. —By the way, Peralta hit .314 against lefties this year. Outman hit .254. Barnes hit .080. —And I was saying the above when Barnes was walking to the plate, not when he made the out. —The other push-button managing thing that drives me crazy: The insistence on having a right-handed hitter, followed by a left-handed hitter, followed by a righty, etc.
