Letters from readers of the Los Angeles Times Sports section have little faith in the Dodgers' playoff hopes, primarily because of the starting pitching.
Dylan Hernandez’s smug, snarky commentary regarding the Dodgers’ playoff prospects given their current starting pitching made for tiresome reading to say the least. Hernández almost seems to suggest that Andrew Friedman and the Dodgers purposely gutted their starting pitching in order to prove how clever they are. True, they didn’t trade a bunch of prospects at the deadline for “name-brand” starters, but a lot of the clubs that did are already regretting their decisions.
In years past only beer was sold at the ballpark. Today, Dodger Stadium is basically a sports bar with a ballgame in the background. Alcohol is sold every few feet in the concourses and sales of alcohol are not regulated. A fan can get as drunk as he or she wants. Fans arrive at the game drunk and continue to drink. I have seen people so drunk they can barely walk.AdvertisementI was appalled and saddened to read the headline in Sunday’s Times about our beloved Dodger Stadium’s bad rap.
