James Outman's missed catch in Game 1 of the NLDS shows how many vulnerabilities the Dodgers must overcome if they are to embark on a long playoff run.
Would the Dodgers’ fate have been different Saturday if rookie outfielder James Outman had held on to Ketel Marte’s leadoff line drive in Game 1 of the NL Division Series, instead of letting it get past him to crack open the door to a six-run first inning in the Arizona Diamondbacks’ eventual 11-2 romp over the stunned Dodgers? Maybe it wouldn’t have made a difference if Outman had caught the ball instead of letting it bounce off the heel of his glove.
So, yeah, obviously we want to go out there and put up a scoreless inning and get back in there, but it just didn’t happen and we couldn’t really bounce back.” He compared his first playoff game to “jumping into a cold pool.” He didn’t mention anything about sinking to the bottom. Marte said he was looking for a good pitch to hit and found it on a breaking ball down the middle. 'I put on my best swing,' Marte said. Asked if it had knuckled on Outman, Marte was sympathetic.
