Commentary: Vin Scully can't believe how Dodgers and Giants were unrivaled this season
The Dodgers won 106 games this season. The Atlanta Braves won 88. When they play in the NLCS, Atlanta will have home-field advantage. Here’s why.“Nobody is going to remember a half-swing after a while,” he said. “It wasn’t like there were bad plays with a runner called out at first when he was safe.That brought the Dodgers here, for the league championship series.
The pandemic deprived the Dodgers of a championship parade last year, but Scully narrated the official World Series documentary. If the Dodgers repeat, who wouldn’t want to see Scully join the parade?The Dodgers’ immense playoff experience certainly didn’t hurt during their winner-take-all Game 5 of the NLDS against the San Francisco Giants.
“I don’t belong in that,” Scully said. “It’s hard for me to believe, but I’ve been away from it for five years now. No, no, no, this is their time in the sunshine, and to enjoy every minute. They don’t need an interloper to be in the parade. I would never think of doing that.” The NLCS comes first, and the first game comes Saturday, when Los Angeles can gather once more and say it’s time for Dodger baseball.
