The Dodgers are on the brink after losing the Atlanta Braves 9-2 in NLCS Game 4. Justin Turner is injured and done for the playoffs. Is his team next?
, who was stretched by pitching in relief in Game 2 against Atlanta, showed no signs of fatigue Wednesday in a start that lasted five innings and that the Braves merely “had a very good game plan for him.” If that’s all the problem was, there’s hope. If he truly was fatigued, the Dodgers are done.
A season that was distinguished by 106 regular-season wins, a victory over St. Louis in the wild-card game, two comebacks against the Giants in the NLDS and a stirring rally to win Game 3 against Atlanta rides on how well the Dodgers can pull themselves together physically and emotionally against Braves starter Max Fried.
“I feel like we’re a pretty complete team going forward,” said first baseman Freddie Freeman, who contributed a leadoff home run in the third inning and a run-scoring double in the ninth to support Eddie Rosario’s spectacular two home runs and four runs batted in. “I feel really good about our pitching and how our offense has been swinging the bats. ... Things are going well.
“Yeah, we feel bad for Justin. JT’s a warrior,” a downcast Pollock said. “Obviously you could see him walking off the field. ... You never want to see your teammate go down. He’s giving everything he’s got and it’s weird. Injuries, they stink. Both sides.”“Fried’s not going to feel sorry for us. He’s going to go for the jugular,” Roberts said. “He’s got great stuff, and we’ve got to compete. Our backs are against the wall and no one’s going to feel sorry.
