Why is adrian gonzalez out of the game

Expect a lot more reactions from former Dodgers players on this subject, before all is said and done. A good pitcher with expert location and ball movement still has the edge.

I really like Adrian Gonzalez. He was a super consistent performer and quiet leader during his time with the Dodgers.

He may have been getting older, and the Dodgers were making room for Bellinger. But now Bellinger is a great defensive outfielder.

You have to wonder about How Gonzalez could have helped the Dodgers in the postseason. I have to believe that his leadership and consistency would had a big impact on a team where so many other players fail to perform anywhere near their regular season levels. I interpret what he said like this. But if you know a good pitcher likes to hit the outside corner w his fastball and you know its a fastball coming you have an advantage. And if the veteran pitcher throws his nasty slider or change out of the strike zone and you know that pitch is coming you will be taking.

The younger pitcher might make a mistake with his slider so the hitter has to be ready for anything. Regardless, a batter still has to hit the ball even if he knows what pitch is coming. Dodgers deserve their losses in playoffs and world series. Once a cheater always a cheater. Be ashamed! You gave baseball a black eye. This one is ending at Wrigley Field no matter who wins the series.
