Game 4 on Thursday night<\/a> it felt to me like a game the Dodgers would lose as soon as the bullpen got to the mound, because they were not hitting worth a darn. L.A. scored because of an unforgiveable bases-loaded walk to tie and a throwing error for the ages by the Phillies pitcher for them to win. Losing last night would\u2019ve sent them back to Philly with their heads way down to play in cold weather, with rainstorms brewing. Yes, their season could\u2019ve easily been over by Saturday night.<\/p>\nSo I don\u2019t yet see them as a \u201cdominating team\u201d and am holding my breath while waiting for their luck to maybe run out. That said, I\u2019ve really enjoyed their 2025 season \u2026 so far.<\/p>\n

Andy Pages hits a broken bat comebacker to the Phillies pitcher and that play turns into the winning run. With that the Dodgers advance in the playoffs. Yet, one of the first thoughts that came to my mind had to do with Kirk Gibson hitting his walk-off home run against the Oakland A\u2019s in the 1988 World Series and two Hall of Fame announcers with their calls. Vin Scully saying \u201cIn the year of the improbable, the impossible has happened!\u201d And Jack Buck saying, \u201cI can\u2019t believe what I just saw!\u201d Either call would have fit Thursday night at Chavez Ravine. What an ending!!<\/p>\n

I am happy for the Dodgers. I have been a fan since I was 11 (1955 World Series vs. Yankees). I just wish that Game 4 would have ended differently. It could have ended with Andy Pages getting a base hit, or either Trea Turner or Bryce Harper making an error. I feel badly for relief pitcher Orion Kerkering. This will possibly scar him for his entire career. Certainly the Phillies fans will never forgive him (see Bill Buckner and the Red Sox fans \u2014 it was Bill\u2019s manager who put him at first base, but the fans never saw it that way). I hope Orion gets traded by the Phillies and has a nice career.<\/p>\n

Anyone still believing the Dodgers don\u2019t have a decent bullpen, please call Roki Sasaki. My only question is what took us so long to realize it!<\/p>\n
