Dodgers: Four of the Biggest Overreactions From the Losing Streak

The Dodgers are over their worst losing streak in franchise history. I don’t care if you aren’t quite ready to proclaim the Dodgers are back to their old form just yet because they beat a terrible Giants team on the road. The fact of the matter is, they’ve won two straight.

It’s time for fans to put the 11-game losing streak and the 1-16 game stretch in the past. The Dodgers have a huge series this weekend against the Nationals, and now fan’s should shift their focus from the losing streak to the postseason.

Losing can be hard as a fan. No fan ever wants to see their favorite team lose more games than win and it was fair for fans to feel angry, frustrated, and even sad during the past two and a half weeks. It sucks. But the baseball season is a two-part season. The first (regular season) is a marathon that exhausts everything out of the 25-man roster for 162 games in a six-month stretch. The second (postseason) is a sprint to the finish.

Luckily for the Dodgers, this terrible 17 game stretch has not come back to haunt them. The club put themselves in a position early in the season to coast into the playoffs. That may not have been the best approach for the club, but winning at a 66% ratio was unsustainable, and the last time I checked, wins in May count the same as wins in September.

So what was the real meaning for Dodger fans overreacting? I’m not entirely sure, but during this stretch, I’ve heard and seen Dodger fans give some insane overreactions to the club’s losing ways. Here are the best four.
