Despite the clear lack of volatility in the lineup over the past two games, the Dodgers are remaining calm and looking forward to bouncing back
âYeah, not our best,â catcher Will Smith said of the Dodgersâ offense this series. âWe know weâre a good offense. Weâre gonna have nights like that. Just happened to be two nights in a row.
âI still think itâs quality at-bats. Weâre swinging at the right pitches. Weâre not chasing a ton. Weâre just not really getting the barrel on the ball. So I think itâs the same thing. Itâs just a few more barrels.â

The Dodgers certainly need to get the barrel on the ball more, as only one of their hits over the past two games has gone for extra bases: Teoscar Hernandezâs double in the first game of the series. Despite that, manager Dave Roberts liked the quality of contact he saw in the second matchup of the set.
âI thought there were a lot more balls hit well tonight versus last night. Production was the same,â Roberts said.
âI thought each of the nights there were a couple of pivotal at-bats that I think could have pushed a run across, and we didnât come through situationally. That certainly impacted the outcome of both these games. Up to this point, I think weâve been pretty good situationally, but these last two â when youâre not hitting homers and youâre not scoring a bunch of runs, you have to be good situationally. The last two, the opportunities that we did have we just couldnât come through there.â
LA failed to convert on a couple of big chances in the past couple games, specifically with the bases loaded in both games and with runners on first and second to take the lead in the first inning of the second game.
The Dodgers still have the most productive offense in MLB despite their recent duck, posting a league-leading 133 wRC+. The offense is bound to snap out of it sooner rather than later, and will look to take their chance to do so in their series finale against the Giants at 12:45 p.m. PT Wednesday.
Are you concerned about the offense in the long-term?
