The Dodgers Are Fading.

The Dodgers Are Fading.jpg

Sequestered Solemnly near The At of the Base Torah, The  Entry Level Books Of The Bible. There Is A Is An Short Story of Boundless Morals. This Story Follows Moses’ Divine Liberation Of The Hebrews Slaves In Egypt, Crosses From Joshua’s Introduction Of The People Of Israel Into The Promise Land. Joshua The Savior Begins Carving Out Creases Of Land from Amongst The Canaanites As Israel Begin To Take Claim Of The Land. Enter In The Book Of Judges. We Find The Epilogue Of Samson. An Anointed Child, Commissioned By God To Begin The Liberation Of The Hebrew People. This Champion Warrior Was Known As A “Philistine Killing Machine” (There weren’t Machine At The Time The Stories In The Book Of Judges Were Written So This Moniker Is A Fairly New One). Samson Brought Fear With every Flex Of His Feet Into Canaanite Territory Trampling Gates And Lifting Others In His Wake. Through Might, Spirit and The Excision Of Little Attrition, Samson The Warrior Man’s Exploits Became Infamous Amongst The Cohabitating Philistines. Every episode of his Prolific Power in the final Chapters of his Epic Became Another Line of Grief for The Philistines. His Presence, His Anointing, His Apparent Invincibility, Was A Problem. Eventually, the Philistines Uncover Samson’s secret to His and His Mystique Was Dispelled.  Captured and Punish, Samson Was Defeated. In A Rush of Violence Samson, Briefly, Liberated Himself and The Jewish People of The Philistines. His Story Is One Often Quoted to Caution Those Of Jewish Heritage And Those Of The Faith Of The Pitfalls Of Hubris and indulgence. It Is Also A Reminder That Invincibility, Even That Which Is Given by God Is Never True Invincibility.    

 

The Story Of The 2021 Los Angeles Dodgers Won’t By Recorded On A Historical Tablet of Holy A Scripture (Let Revisit This In The Year 2030) Nor Will It Be Passed Through Generation (Another Point To Revisit), Nor Will It Be A Cautionary Tale, Well There IS Legitimate Value In Cautioning The Pitfalls Of High Profile Free agency Pitching Purchases. From Certain, The Dodgers Are not Battling Against The Philistines, Although The Padres Could Fill That Role Out Of California. The Dodger Were Anointed. Not By God But By Many Who Viewed Them As Surefire Favorites For World Series Favorites And, Briefly, For. A Moment In April, They Appeared Invincible, And Then They Weren’t.

 

Kickstarting The Regular Season with Blazing T 14-4 Record The reigning Major League Baseball World Champion Were Projected TO And Began to Track Out A Pace To Win North Of 120 Games. Heavy Hitters Like Justin Turner Were Racking Up Babe Ruth Level Hitting Splits and Pitchers Like Kershaw And Walker Buechler were Dealing Deadly on The Mound. They Won Their Highly-Anticipated Series Against the Majors Second Best Team the Padres Finishing That weekend 16-5 Without Former MVP Cody Bellinger. The Undisputed Champion Of The Pundit Power Rankings. Now At 17-16, Two Weeks Post Padres The Once Seeming Indomitable Dodgers Are treading The Decline Similar To Years Past. When Favor Did Not Meet Fortune for The Dodgers?  

 

The Follow Up of the Padre’s Epic Was A Two-Part Play Versus the Seattle Mariners Appear Who were Making Move To Mirror The Athletics In The Al West. A  Mirroring  NL West Standing. The Dodgers And Mariners Traded The Games Through The Week Mariners taking Game One 4-3 And The Dodgers Responding 1-0 In the Following Contest. No Glaring Impediments To The Resplendent Goal Of 120 But with Only Four Runs Mustered A Obvious but Reflective In The Hitting Splits The Dodgers Bat Cooled Off Considerably. The side effect of the adrenaline Let Down Of The Series Before Versus The Padres Or They May Have Been Looking Ahead To The Series To Come, Another Battle In So Cal. No Matter the Theory Taken the Dodgers Bug Batters Clearly Did Not Show Up Versus the Mariners.

 

A baseball Schedule That Features 162 Games. Teams Are Excused If They Lose A Game or Two Off In April, For What Is Apparent Indifference.

 

The Producers Of The Matrix The Wachowskis released The Sequels To Their Critically Acclaimed Sci-fi (which would Come To Be A Series) “The Matrix”, with the “The Matrix Reloaded” And “The Matrix Revolution.”, In Quick Succession The Success of The initial Release Of the first Film. In 2002, Only Five Months apart.  The Implication Was Clear “here Is the Cliff Hanger” and “here Is The Resolution”. It’s Unclear If Major League Baseball Consulate The Wachowskis but Thee Is A Similar train of thought To Their Approach To Their Dodgers And Padres Contest. Four Weeks Into The Season And The Anticipated Sequel To The Major League Hollywood Blockbuster Was Here. He Opening Game Often Set The Tone For The Series And It Was Obvious From The Get to Go as It was With The Matrix That We Would Not Be Getting More Of What Had Seen Before But All That We Were Promised. The Games Featured Familiar Faces But Fernando Tatis Jr.’s Shoulder Was Not An Issue This Time Around. The Dodgers And Padres Traded Barbs And Insults, On Top Of homers And Strikeouts But It was The Strike First Bat Of Fernando Taints Jr. Who Recorded 5 Home Runs Across The 4 SERIES Who Ultimately Made The DIFFERENCE? The Padre Won 3 Of The 4 Games And creep Back Within 2.5 Games of The Dodgers In The NL West

 

The End Padres’ Sequel Invoke Skepticism About How Wide the Presumed Gap Between Dodgers And Padres Really Were After Their first Matchup.  Between the Two Lay the Road To the World Series.  Since the Padres Show, the Dodgers Have Lost Three Straight Series And 1 Of Their Last Ten Game. Two of Those Series Ended In Sweeps By The Opposing Squad. A Sweeps by The Reds and The of by Grace Of The Chicago Cubs The Pitching Has to Tear Off Dramatically. They Have Given Over-Runs Per Game. Which Isn’t Dramatic but Consequential Clayton Kershaw Was Pulled In The First Innings Of His Start Versus the Cubs And Now That The Batting Of the Dodgers Is Now Slumping, The Dodgers Aren’t Not Offsetting Their Pitching Woes With Good Hitting.

 

 

 

“Going into this weekend’s series in Anaheim, the 2020 National League Most Valuable Player runner-up is batting just .248 with a .767 OPS. Both are Betts’ lowest numbers through his team’s first 32 games since the 2016 season.”

 

 This Exert from OCRegister.com Highlights the Slumps That Dodgers Star Mookie Betts Has endured Over the Course of The Dodgers Losing Streak.  The Entire Article Written by Bill Plunkett tells How the Dodgers Hitting Potential Rising and Falls When Mookie Is on Or Off His Game. Right Now, Betts Is Recording Some of The Worst hittings Of His Career. He’s Striking More Consistently Than earlier in the season  And When He Does Make Contact It’s Become More of A Whimper Than A Bang. The Dodgers Are Averaging 3.2 Runs Over Their Last 18, 3.8 Over The Past three Series. If The Runs Average Is Adjust To With The removal Of The 16 run Explosion Versus The Brewers The Average Drops To 2.4.

 

Is It Too Early to Panic? The Dodgers Were Not Expected to Maintain the historic Rate Of hitting Or Winning. No Matter How Massive Your Talent Troves The Baseball Season IS 162 Games Long And April And May Do Not Count As Plays Of Prognosis But Rather Innings Of Inditement For Under Accomplishing Teams. Mookie Betts And Corey Bellinger Are Two Of The Dodgers Stars Nagged By Injury Which Are Affecting the Dodgers Hitting Potential. The Death of Or Imbalance Of Hitting And Pitching Is One Other rendition Of The Dodgers Have Been Visited By. In 2018 The Dodgers Were Struggling To Produce Consistent Hitting Which Prompted Their 5 For 1 RENTAL TRADE OF Manny Machado. The Verdict Of That Year A Worlds Series Lost To The Red Sox. The Dodger Offseason signee Trevor Bauer Has Yet to Show His Cy young Ability Or Why His Presence With The Team Evoked Some To Believe He Made The Dodgers Immediate Title Favorite.

When It comes to The Dodgers It’s Never Too Early. Every Season Is World Series Or Bust.
