The Los Angeles Dodgers are heading home for the offseason. Facing elimination Saturday night, the Dodgers lost Game 6 of the National League Championship Series to the Atlanta Braves by a final score of 4-2. LA was trying to become the first National League team to win back-to-back World Series titles since the Cincinnati Reds of the late seventies. LA entered the season as the prohibitive favorites to win the World Series, with some national pundits even predicting that the team had a chance to go down as one of the winningest clubs in baseball history. Unfortunately the team fell short of those expectations, but were able to match a franchise record with 106 wins despite being snakebitten by injuries and losing their big off-season starting pitcher acquisition to administrative leave. As is the case every year they don't win the World Series, the Dodgers head into the offseason with questions as to why they ultimately were unable to get the job done in October and we give you our top 4 reasons why LA fell short in 2021. From key late season and postseason injuries, to an inconsistent offense to a historic Giants team that forced the Dodgers into playing high-level baseball for the majority of the season, we dive into the truth behind why the 2021 Dodgers were ousted earlier than they would have like this postseason. Plus, were the Dodgers out-managed by the Braves in the NLCS. #Dodgers --------------------------------------------------------------- Have you subscribed to our YouTube Channel yet?
