Momentum? Couldn’t find it.

Season? About to lose it.

One night after one of the most emotional comeback playoff victories in franchise history, the Dodgers inexplicably strolled into Chavez Ravine on Wednesday night without focus or fight.

latimes.com/sports/dodgers…
They followed one game’s miracle with nine innings of nothingness.

Atlanta beat the Dodgers with six relief pitchers, beat them while facing 20-game winner Julio Urías, beat them silly and sideways and maybe even beat them into next season.

latimes.com/sports/dodgers…
The 9-2 victory by Atlanta in Game 4 of #NLCS at Dodger Stadium gave them a three-games-to-one lead that is the exact same edge they held in this exact same series last year before the Dodgers came storming back to win it.

latimes.com/sports/dodgers…
The Dodgers countered with one of their three aces, yet Urías wilted. Despite pitching just 3 days after making an ill-advised relief appearance in Game 2, he was left on the mound for 92 pitches that Atlanta batted around for 8 hits, 3 homers and 5 runs.

latimes.com/sports/dodgers…
It didn’t appear to be about the game plan. It appeared that Urías was exhausted.

Whatever it was, Urías was bad, & the frustrated offense was just as bad.

“I know it’s not from lack of work or preparation,” Dave Roberts said. “I don’t have an answer.”

latimes.com/sports/dodgers…
The answer must now come from a Dodgers bullpen-pitched game against Braves’ ace Max Fried, and that’s just the first of three steps, and the defending World Series champions are on the brink like never before.

latimes.com/sports/dodgers…
The evening of such promise ended with such insult.

Before COVID-19, it was typical for yacht broker Trenton Carroll to have up to $10 million worth of inventory at any given time.

Now he rarely has anything in stock.

@byandreachang reports on the booming demand for yachts: latimes.com/business/story…
“We can’t get boats fast enough,” said Carroll, who has been in the business for two decades.

“I’ve got boats sold out to 2023...people are willing to wait because they know there’s nothing else around.” latimes.com/business/story…
When the first wave of COVID-19 lockdowns went into effect, the yacht business tanked for a few weeks but quickly rebounded as Americans turned to all manner of outdoor activities to pass the time. latimes.com/business/story… Image

"The #Dodgers were deflated, decimated and desperate for one reason, any reason, to continue clutching to the fraying fringes of a season.

Chris Taylor gave them three." - @BillPlaschke

"Hold the eulogy. Keep the lights on. Clear your weekend. This #NLCS lives.

Trailing 3 games to 1 and on the verge of elimination, the #Dodgers used a historic three home runs by Taylor on Thursday night at Dodger Stadium to pound out an 11-2 victory."
latimes.com/sports/dodgers…
It’s also pretty legendary, as Taylor became the first player in major league history to hit three home runs in an elimination game.

“This is why you play the game. ... These are moments we’re going to look back on for the rest of our lives, and it’s pretty cool,” said Taylor. Image
