I don’t think you know what adversity meansThey lost 11 straight and were still a dozen games up for the division IIRC.
They breezed through the regular season and playoffs so far.

enough to know the Dodgers didn't have anyI don’t think you know what adversity means
You think going through losing 16 of 17 games, going into the playoffs with most thinking they’ll lose to the Dbacks in 5, and instead losing only 1 game on the way to the World Series is not a show of adversity?enough to know the Dodgers didn't have any
As I mentioned, they lost those many games, but were still in no threat of coughing up the division title. And to their credit, they've demolished the opposition in the playoffs.You think going through losing 16 of 17 games, going into the playoffs with most thinking they’ll lose to the Dbacks in 5, and instead losing only 1 game on the way to the World Series is not a show of adversity?
Dodgers faced 0 adversity throughout the season, much like the Astros.
They threw game 4 on purpose iirc.Imagine if Dodgers threw this game and focused on game 6 so they don't have a week long break going into WS.
In that context, sure, that doesn't sound like adversity. Dodgers had already won division titles for consecutive years. Nobody was impressed by them winning another one. During that losing streak, however, their regular season went from a coronation to a funeral. This whole debate over who has faced more adversity: Dodgers or Yankees, is meaningless. When you've beat a team that swept you in the final month of the season and the defending champions in convincing fashion, there's no need to prove you can come back from an 0-2 series deficit.As I mentioned, they lost those many games, but were still in no threat of coughing up the division title.

I don't think it does, because they were in no threat at coughing up the division. And they were heavy favorites by the pundits in the NLDS.
But I am wrong - completely forgot to point out that Seager missed the NLCS.
No difference between the wait after they swept Arizona. They'll be fine.So isn’t this really bad for the dodgers? This was practically a sweep. Verlander might make that series to go 7.

World Series starts on Tuesday. That's three days off which I actually think is less than what they waited after the NLDS.Yeah but this is going into the World Series. And long waits for that usually are bad for a team and the Yankees/Astros are better then the cubs this year

So glad the Cubs are on their way out. I work at a hotel in Anaheim and this past year I've seen nothing but warriors and cubs gear. Annoying to see bandwagoners act like they've been life long fans. Reminds me of when the kings won in 2012 but on a much bigger scale.
I don't see the Dodgers shivering in fear at the thought of playing in Yankee Stadium like most of the Astros roster did.
