[Saba Sports News] Magic Johnson, part of the Dodgers’ ownership group, provided a concise analysis of the team’s NLDS loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks. He pinpointed two key areas, hitting and pitching, as the primary reasons for their disappointing end to the season. Johnson noted, “We’re all disappointed that our Dodgers didn’t hit or pitch well. That’s why we lost the Series to the Diamondbacks.”
The Dodgers struggled in their series against the Diamondbacks, being outscored 19-6 and scoring just two runs in each game. Johnson’s assessment was remarkably accurate, and his recent tweets about his Washington Commanders further showcase his insightful analysis.
Despite winning 100 games in the regular season and being considered World Series favorites, the Dodgers faced playoff failures for the second consecutive year in the NLDS. Their approach to addressing these issues in the offseason will be closely watched.
