As the teams begin a two-game series in Anaheim on Tuesday night, the Angels are surging and the slumping Dodgers’ season almost seems to be hanging by a thread.
Their counterparts up the freeway could have used such a momentum-arresting moment this past weekend. Then again,makes it difficult to escape the torture the Dodgers have faced over the last month.
Remember what we’ve always said about how every fan base in baseball hates its bullpen at one time or another? It’s safe to say Dodger fans currently despise theirs with the heat of a thousand suns. Alex Vesia, Victor González, Phil Bickford, Yence Almonte, Brusdar Graterol … all have veered between undependable and abysmal. Evan Phillips has been the only trustworthy reliever, and even he gave up a walk-off homer in Cincinnati on the last road trip.
