Another game, another beatdown

The Dodgers lost their 10th game in a row but more disturbing is how they are losing. They continue to be a punching bag for the NL West going 1 – 13 against the Diamondbacks, Rockies, and Padres over their past fourteen games.  They aren’t losing close games either. Of those 13 losses, they lost five of those game by more than two runs.

This team doesn’t have one problem to solve they have numerous problems to solve. It might be as simple as letting the key players play and let the rest watch.  They need the starting pitchers to pitch better, they need the bullpen to pitch better, they need to relearn the patience they had, and rediscover the long ball, along with a clutch hit once in a while.

Eric Stephen has the numbers:

Dodgers are only MLB team this season to lose 10 straight. Also only team to lose 15 of 16.

They also somehow still have best record in MLB

Dodgers set/tied some club records:

1) 10 straight losses (LA)
2) 9 consec. losses at Dodger Stadium
3) First winless homestand 6+ G at DS

Yeah, I know this is lazy writing but I know I have some folk who don’t use twitter and Eric has been on fire in reporting the bizarre anomalies of this season.

Dodgers are the 4th team in MLB history to win 14 of 15 and lose 14 of 15 within the same season. From @EliasSports: https://t.co/oSpRt6rulO pic.twitter.com/B9xfj7tl1b

and my favorite

If Dodgers lose Sunday, then win at least 3 of final 6 home games, their 2017 will own Dodger Stadium records for consec. losses & most wins
