The first two games of the NLCS have not gone according to plan for the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Despite coming into the series as the favorites, LA has gotten dominated in every facet of the game through the first two nights.
Following a 5-1 defeat to Atlanta on Monday night, the Dodgers are now already down 7-0 in the seventh inning of Game 2.
Freddie Freeman is having himself a night thus far, hitting a two run homer in the top of the fourth and then bringing Cristian Pache home with a single in the fifth inning.
Probably not the reaction the Lakers were expecting. https://t.co/MO9HgHizSo

With the way things are going, he may end up with another home run before it’s all said and done.
Naturally, Dodgers fans are melting down on Twitter.

Pretty sure I died 9 years ago and my hell is watching the Dodgers finding ways to get eliminated in the playoffs every year.

If the dodgers don’t start hitting…

One of the biggest failures of this organization is allowing Bellinger to get smaller (skinny), and so bad mechanically…. there is no excuse to have not fixed this garbage stance and garbage approach. Utterly a failure

The Dodgers had four hits last night and have one hit tonight. That’s pretty much it.

I think cody bellinger should stop playing like ass

Should we be surprised Bellinger struck out in the post season in a clutch situation. pic.twitter.com/RwRVI4Dc2M

Dog Cody Bellinger is a .190 postseason hitter
— Brett 🏁 (@Bretts_Burner) October 14, 2020
That should pretty much seal Roberts getting fired they look flat and always seem satisfied winning division. Bellinger looks high every game this year

Bellinger is batting .000 this NLCS
Seager is batting something at least 💀
— Zeclmoore (@pringlelovers) October 14, 2020
What happened to all the home runs that they have been hitting all season? Betts, Bellinger, Muncey???? Where are those home runs?? I know y’all can do this! I still believe in you!

If Dodgers faithful were calling for Dave Roberts’ job following Game 1, they’ll probably be demanding he be deported to Mars after Game 2.
