[Sports Center/Comprehensive Report] The defending team Dodgers faced a huge crisis in their bid for the third consecutive World Series title. They lost to the Brewers 2:6 in Game 3 of the National League Championship Series today, and the series fell into a desperate situation of 0 wins and 3 losses. Current "FOX Sports" ball commentator and Yankees legend "A-Rod" Rodriguez (Alex Rodriguez) admitted frankly that the Dodgers played the worst baseball this season.

The Dodgers have suffered three consecutive losses, and their road to three consecutive World Series championships is in jeopardy. In the best-of-seven playoff series so far, the Dodgers have been at an absolute disadvantage of being drawn 0:3 only twice in the team's history. The first time was in the 1966 World Series when they were swept by the Orioles, and the second time is this year. It has been 60 years since the last time.

When it comes to the current situation of the Dodgers, Rodriguez said that one thing is for sure, they are playing the worst baseball right now, especially in terms of hitting. However, he still believes that the Dodgers have a chance to reverse the situation. Now that the pressure on them has been slightly relieved, they just need to strive for a win in tomorrow's game. The Dodgers have won 4 consecutive games many times in the past 5 years.

Rodriguez believes that if we win tomorrow, there will be Tarik Skubal in Game 5. By then, who knows what will happen? They certainly don't want the Brewers to celebrate their promotion in their home stadium.

Legendary player David Ortiz also agreed with Rodriguez. He said: "What's interesting is that when the series changes from 0:0 to now 0:3, the psychological pressure may be lighter than before the start of the game, because when you hit rock bottom, you have nothing to lose. You don't need to tighten your nerves anymore. Just follow the rhythm of the game. You have no retreat and can only keep moving forward. After all, you have already experienced the feeling of rock bottom."
