Dodgers Fans React To Yet Another Extra-Innings Loss

In what has become a common sight the last two seasons, the Dodgers lost another game in extra-innings.

For the last several seasons, the Dodgers have been one of the best teams in baseball. The lineup is as deep as any and the pitching staff, even when top shelf names struggle, still manages to get the job done one way or the other. It seems like the Dodgers excel in every facet of the game, except winning games in extra-innings.

Since the 2021 season began, the Dodgers are 6-18 in extra-inning games. Whether it's bad luck or a small sample size, or both, it's still an alarming stat for a perennial World Series contender.  

Dodgers fans got another reminder of the team's struggles in extras on Friday night. LA trailed Cleveland 2-1 in the bottom of the tenth and failed to plate the tying run. Freddie Freeman, Will Smith, and Justin Turner went strike out-ground out-strike out to top of a "L" for the Dodgers.

Fans were none too pleased.

The Dodgers were gift-wrapped that game, but instead of opening the present they fumbled it, dropped it, then accidentally kicked it into the fire.

One fan had an out-of-the-box idea for how the Dodgers could've scored since Trea Turner was the one placed on second. 

Trea just steal third and then home.

They also might just be in a deep slump.

That is a lifeless team right now.

Someone will ask Dave, yet again, why the #Dodgers have so much trouble in extra innings, and he will say "I wish I had an answer for you." Which isn't good enough.
