A free fall outside the bullpen gate
Los Angeles Times
|August 15, 2025
In a year that has been so improbable, the impossible has happened.
GINA FERAZZI Los Angeles Times EDGARDO HENRIQUEZ (60) and Alex Freeland, right, ponder what's next after the latest loss.
The Dodgers have dropped out of first place.
The team that was expected to win 120 games has fallen a game behind the San Diego Padres in the National League West, and who knows how much further baseball's most expensive collection of players could plummet?
The geniuses in the front office improved the farm system more than they did the obviously problematic bullpen at the trade deadline, resulting in blown lead after blown lead after blown lead.
Games have become "Choose Your Own Adventure" books in which every choice available to manager Dave Roberts ends in disaster, with relievers giving up leads in four of the team's last seven games.
The recent activation of Tyler Glasnow and Blake Snell has made the starting pitching whole, but what does it matter if the bullpen can't close out games?
Mookie Betts has started hitting and the offense has picked up, but what does it matter if the relievers give the runs right back?
