A 2015 storybook, Hollywood ending is looking rather unrealistic at this point. The Dodgers, losers of 5 straight can’t buy themselves a win. And that’s rare, because the Dodgers seem to be capable of buying just about anything. After getting swepted by the last play AL West Oakland A’s and Houston Astros in consecutive series, the question has to be is it panic time for LA. I wouldn’t necessarily say it’s panic time, but it’s time to have a closed door team meeting. If you look at this team on paper, they have the two best pitchers in the league, and above average hitters filled at every slot. You have to ask yourself if there money is going to the right players which the answer is clearly no. Management, staff, and more importantly the players on the field better figure it out quickly because they have the reigning world champs knocking on the door. The Dodgers will look to somewhere turn things around as they travel to Cinci to face the struggling Reds. The Reds won’t go quite however, having 3-4 heavy bats despite a poor starting rotation. The biggest question the Dodgers will need to address starting a new series is their bullpen. Their bullpen has been the week link to this team all year, having no define roles throughout except who gets the ball in the ninth inning. Other than Kenley Jenson, this team has major problems that they failed to address over the trade deadline. It’ll be extremely interesting to see how this next series pans out, you have to ask yourself if the Dodgers lose this series will skipper Don Mattingly be the first to go? Despite all the negativity to the Dodgers in this post, I still have them winning the division, I just don’t see them winning a world series in 2015.
