LA Dodgers

Every move Roberts made seemed to pay off BIG TIME, like he could see the future. Going with Rojas at 2B for Games 6 & 7, BOOM he makes three unbelievable defensive plays (that I can remember) that Edman likely doesn't make. Doesn't pinch hit for Rojas in 9th inning of Game 7, BOOM he gets probably the only pitch that he could possibly hit out and he DOESN'TMISS IT. Puts Pages in CF in the 9th, BOOM he makes an absolutely unbelievable catch after colliding with Kike. And all the breaks favored us. In Game 6, you could throw a ball against that fence 10,000 times and it wouldn't get stuck like that. But it did. If the runner on third had taken a proper lead when Toronto had the bases loaded in the 9th inning of Game 7, he scores easily. But he didn't, and Rojas threw him out, just barely. Just an amazing, exciting, improbable sequence of events. Would be tough to ever match the excitement of Games 6 and 7.

I have been saying this for 2 years, the Dodgers are better when Miggy is in the lineup, the guy is a coach on the field and calms every down. Trust me, I love Edman and Kiki but they aren't Bonafide starters imho, amazing role players though.

For next year, we need to see better defense in the OF, Teo needs to go back to LF. Defense and Pitching wins in the post season.
