No Dodgers fan will ever forget the disastrous bottom of the seventh inning in Game 4 of the NLDS, when a 3-0 L.A. lead suddenly turned into a 5-3 San Diego lead, effectively ending the Dodgers’ season. It was one of the more painful series of moments in recent memory that has fans clamoring for significant change this winter.
