Once you get past the 3rd/4th batter , it’s a black hole .

This is a team built to make the playoffs , but not win it.

Right now it’s last year’s team for the final 6 hitters. Just 6 straight dead spots in the lineup. Even if Stanton came back and was hitting well while Verdugo found his stride again, that’s still 4 straight dead spots in the lineup. 1st, 2nd, 3rd and catcher are all awful and I’m not sure any team in the majors has a worse collection at those 4 spots than we do.
and not for nothing, Verdugo's been bad for a while as well.
Ice cold for roughly 2 weeks now. Hitting 33 points below his career average going into tonight.

We’re gonna look back at that dodgers series the same way as the 2022 series vs Houston. They lost their mojo and aren’t getting it back. Incoming crash back down to 90 wins and an early playoff exit that is followed by Cashman taking no responsibility for anything and making no moves to balance the roster in the winter :martin:
