Never before have so many wins (111) been invalidated so quickly in the postseason. The Dodgers have to assess the wreckage of their most disappointing October.
SAN DIEGO – What does a historic regular season mean without a World Series title?
It was historically good – one of the five winningest regular seasons in major-league history. Two of those five teams failed to reach the World Series – the 116-win Seattle Mariners of 2001 and the 111-win Dodgers of 2022. Dodgers president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman does not agree. Asked about the concept of “World Series or bust” – expectations that he has created in Los Angeles – he“I can’t live life, I can’t do what I do on a daily basis with there being one success each year and 29 failures. I just can’t live that way,” he said. “It doesn’t change the burning desire to win a World Series every year.
After a five-day break, the intensity of postseason at-bats seemed to be a shock to the Dodgers’ system.
