Forget the asterisks. The Dodgers were the clutchest team in the clutchest season

[Recursion]

These fellows adapted to the strangest MLB season ever, and were tremendous.



Congratulations to the 2020 LA Dodgers!

1. I don't know what a clutch is in baseball

but if you ride one, you will soon be walking.

5. High-stress situation

I don't think of it as baseball-specific; it applies to any sport.

2. Los Doyers! They rocked this really messed up season.

This World Series means as much as any other season.

4. Agreed. No asterisk. Every team played under the same conditions.

6. They've also arguably been the most consistent good team in the baseball for five plus years

Seriously. The 2015 Mets had no right beating them in a division series - just completely out of this world play by Daniel Murphy. Result: Loss NLDS

The 2016 Cubs were always going to win, but the Dodgers gave them a bit of a go in the NLCS. Result: Loss NLCS

The 2017 Astros were shit, and that's all I'm going to say about that (bang bang). Result: Loss World Series

2018 was a toss up. Result: Loss, World Series.

Nationals came in hot as fuck in 2019. Result: Loss NLDS.

So, NLDS, NLCS, World Series, World Series, NLDS, World Series.

They're the team of the decade in some ways.

Well deserved!

7. Well, except for that one play
