OOTP 22 Ep 39: Dodgers Challenge: Andres Gimenez leads LA to Pivitol NLDS Game 5 victory.
4Jarred Kelenic, Andres Gimenez, Ryan Mountcastle, all have multi-hit and multi-RBI games in route to a smooth 9-5 victory over the Cardinals to take a 3-2 series lead in the NLCS.
In this play-through series we have traded all players on the Dodgers’ active roster prior to the start of the 2021 season. Every. Single. One.
We’re only allowed to acquire players with fewer than 81 games played in the Major Leagues.
Why are we doing this? Well, first, don’t we all have a little Dodgers fatigue at this point?
It’s been the same for the last decade — construct great roster, suffer through shaky playoff performances, lose, rinse and repeat, excluding last year’s Covid Championship. Let’s see if we can do better. And if we fail, we ruin the Dodgers. It’s a win-win.
It’ll also be great to see how the dispersion of the high-end talent from our active roster will impact the Major League landscape for years to come…
Also, if you’re like me, you love more than one sport. So listen to "Football: A Podcast."
It’s a podcast that my friends and I produce. We’re a dozen episodes in and we've received encouraging feedback. We'll be discussing Fantasy Football and our team-by-team deep dives until the start of the season.
This is not cookie-cutter analysis.
Give it a listen; I hope you enjoy it! Link is below.
