Hard to imagine the Dodgers not winning again. Id still take Buehler as the top guy in the rotation

Remember when the Phillies got Roy Halladay, Cliff Lee, and Roy Oswalt to go with Cole Hamels, and everyone was convinced they would win the next 5 WS titles, but did nothing?

The Dodgers may have won the Covid tournament, but until they win in the real postseason, im not convinced.

Those Phillies teams didn't come close to the offense and defense the Dodgers throw out there

Those Phillies teams didn't have an offense or defense comparable to what the Dodgers have, or the Farm system. Dodgers still have a bunch of players that are really good in the minors.

They are stacked now, and have a great pipeline and player development system.

I disagree man those Phillies teams had some seriously good defense and pop. Rollins and Utley are better defensive position players then what the Dodgers have. They had good pop too. Solid pen. I bet if that Phillies team faced this Dodgers team you to have one hell of a tight series

That is true. They were more top heavy offensively with 3 or 4 guys. Dodgers have like 8 guys with pop and more off the bench.

I am a Dodger hater but its laughable to discount what they did in last years postseason. They actually had to win an extra playoff series and didnt have the home field advantage that they normally would have in the post season. If the Giants had won the title last year I somehow doubt you would be singing this tune.

I said before the gimmick season that the champion will be kinda suspect.

If the champion had been someone with a .500 record or below that snuck in I would agree with you. But in reality the best team during the season won in a pretty demanding playoff schedule. I have to admit I say the same thing though to all my Dodger friends living here in So Cal. LOL

Oh s**t Phillies talk

It was only a 60 game season. The 2019 champions wouldn't have even made the playoffs if the season had ended at 60 games. A Major League season is supposed to be a 162 game grind. Nobody was even tired in the postseason. There was no pressure packed road games with the crowd noise bearing down on the opposing pitcher. Regular season games were decided by automatic runners in extra innings, and 7 inning double headers. It was a complete joke of an exhibition.

I didn't even want this season to happen, so I was perfectly fine with the Giants missing the playoffs. I wanted no part of them winning a title that wasn't even real.

Were talking about 2021, not the development pipeline. My point is, don't assume the Dodgers are going to win just because their rotation is stacked, because the Phillies tried the same thing and it didn't work. Besides the point, but 2010-2012 Phillies offense was pretty darn stacked as well. Howard, Utley, Rollins, Pence, Victorino, Ruiz, Ibanez, Werth, Polanco, etc.

You shouldn't assume any team is going to win, that is why they have to play the games. Dodgers are the clear favorites right now though. It is a long ass season and stuff happens, that is why I love baseball.

Good offense, but not as good as the Dodgers. This dodgers team has the potential to go down as one of the all time greats. So much damn talent.
