The Los Angeles Dodgers won 100 games this season, but that didn\'t help them against the red-hot Arizona Diamondbacks in the NLDS.
The Diamondbacks completed a three-game sweep of the Dodgers on Wednesday night.
\"They kept punching us in the face, and we weren\'t able to get back up,\" Enrique Hernandez said after a 4-2, season-ending loss in Game 3. \"There\'s not a lot of words other than hurt, disappointed, frustrated. We\'re a little embarrassed.\"
The Dodgers became only the second team in baseball history to win 100 games and never have so much as a lead during an ensuing postseason series.
\"There\'s some things with the format that people can dissect or whatever, but the bottom line is that the last two years we\'ve gotten outplayed in the postseason,\" Dave Roberts said. \"It doesn\'t matter if it was a seven-game series; we lost the first three games. For me, I\'ve got to do a better job of figuring out a way to get our guys prepared for the postseason. I\'ll own that. I think we\'ve got great players. I\'ve got to figure out a way to get these guys prepared for whatever format, whatever series.
\"Yeah, the regular season, I think we do a great job. But the last couple of postseasons, it just hasn\'t gone well for us, and so I\'ve got to figure it out.\"
